Nice & affordable stay

Pros: The rooms are clean and the hammock area is nice. But the best part is the restaurant, best food and cocktails in Tortuguero

Quiet stay in the heart of Tortuguero

Pros: The location was perfect right at the pier with its own dock and terrace. There is a hangout area with comfy hammocks too, and a restaurant on site which served great food. We were able to cook our own breakfasts in the shared kitchen. We also had the entire room to ourselves with an extra bed because the hostel was quiet. We booked the kayak tour with the hostel and it was great!

Cons: The kitchen downstairs could be better equipped but the upstairs had pots and pans and stuff so it wasn’t so much of an issue.

Pros: The clean and comfortable AC non-humid rooms are great. I stayed in Arcaria hostel too where the rooms were dark, dampy and moist with quite some mosquitos, but changed to this hostel and was super happy here! Rooms come with fridge, AC and clean beds and a counter to cut fruits, wash your stuff. Location of the hostel is great!

Cons: Cold shower only

Pros: I reserved two beds in four bed bunk room. At the end, my friend and I were by ourself in the room so we felt like in private room with own bathroom. The place was clean, you had plugs next to each bed with a space to put things + locker. There was also pretty a lot of space in the room for putting luggages and moving around. The location was great, just next to the harbour. Regarding some facilities, you had a coffee machine outside the room + access to the kitchen in the patio. I felt like nothing is missing, you could find easily the most common things there.

Cons: Nothing special being honest.

Pros: The rooms are exactly like the pictures. They were nice and clean. Also the bathroom was small but very clean. I liked it! The part with the common kitchen was weird. When I was there the kitchen was full of personal stuff from a family. But I stayed only 2 nights so I didn't care. The location was perfect.

El hostel más lindo donde me he hospedado en Costa Rica 💙

Pros: I stayed at this hostel/hotel for 5 days, I was in a dorm and I can say the most comfortable bed ever! It was clean and brand new with big lockers, AC and a big fan with toilets and bathrooms inside each room and a beautiful balcony over the patio where you have many animals coming every day like monkeys and macaws! The people working there are the best 💚 It also has a restaurant and bar with a dock that’s amazing to watch sunset. I honestly could live there it was so green, clean, beautiful and new.

Cons: Todo fue perfecto

I loved feeling like I was on an island.

Pros: This was a fun visit. I loved feeling like I was on an island. There weren't any cars. It was easy to walk to the park and plenty of restaurants to choose from. We ate at the Patio too. The food was amazing. We had a great stay. We did take a canoe tour through the National Forest area and saw lots of animals, birds, etc. The turtle sanctuary was interesting. I would love to see the turtle run--usually in June. I liked where the Patio is located right on the dock where we were taken and picked up by water taxi.

Cons: Can't say I had a dislike.

Mooi en goed hostel!

Pros: Het hostel biedt fijne kamers, het bed ligt heerlijk en de douche is ook goed. De kamer komt overeen met de foto’s en het is fijn om zo’n ruime kamer te hebben. De zitjes op de balustrade zijn ook erg fijn. De keuken is basic, maar je hebt een koelkast op je kamer en wat spulletjes voor een ontbijt of iets te drinken, het is mij erg goed bevallen en kan het iedereen aanraden.

Cons: Eigenlijk niets.
