Tamarindo Hostel

Very friendly and accommodating, replied promptly to emails and were very communicative prior to stay. Organised airport pick up at my request (at extra cost), and woke up to open reception very early so I could check out before my flight. Comfortable beds and adequate washing facilities. Good wifi, balcony with hammock! Will also do laundry at small cost.

Limited hot water so showers are lukewarm- although not much of a problem in the hot weather!

The room has nice air conditioning, a hot shower that comes with towels and a comfortable bed. The room also has screens on the windows to keep out pests. The bathroom was very clean.

There is no way to enter the front gate without ringing a bell and waiting for someone to open it. It felt very insecure at night time.

Loretta, Jorge, and Julio were so kind and welcoming! The place is humble but so cute!! They have a huge mango tree, a lot of plants and flowers, and cute cats that hang around! The outdoor space is gated! So if you leave and come back late you’ll have to ring the doorbell to get let in! I felt very safe here! There’s a lounge area inside as well, and a terrace on the second floor to relax and hang out on the hammock! There’s a lot of food and bars nearby that are walking distance! Pretty affordable place for what they offer!

The room I was in was packed with bunk beds, there was no room to move. Thankfully, there were only two of us there, I dread to think what it would be like at full occupancy. It did have its own bathroom, but the property was dilapidated and needed some TLC. Also rather expensive for what you got
