"Best hostel ever!"

10.0

La Ruka Hostel is a magical place. It’s nestled in the jungle, with an open-air kitchen, a gym, a yoga space and even an ice bath. It’s so easy to spend time there, when you wake up and see the sun shining through the leaves, you can’t help but feel peaceful and happy. The reception area is so cozy, I loved hanging out there. Everyone working at the hostel is so lovely, from the cleaning ladies to the construction workers to the yoga teachers. The volunteers working at reception are incredibly friendly and welcoming and they create a beautiful environment. The backpacker’s community is made up of the most open-minded, kind-hearted and interesting people, and La Ruka seems to attract the best of them. I loved getting to know all the other guests. This place gifted me with new experiences, a new outlook on life and helped me notice what truly matters. Staying here you will meet people that will become friends for life and live in an incredibly beautiful place. I am so grateful for having discovered this beautiful place and can’t wait to be back!

Super séjour au Ruka Hostel. L’auberge est très bien équipée, très propre, belle et agréable, et propose de nombreuses activités et recommandations. Le personnel était très sympathique également !

L’établissement n’est pas dans le centre du village, mais le village est si petit que ce n’est pas un réel problème !

"Enamorada"

10.0

Lo que más me ha gustado es el personal voluntario que trabaja allá. Muy buena onda, buena gente, muy serviciales y simpáticos. A algunos me los llevo en el corazón ❤️ Las instalaciones son muy bonitas, la recepción una pasada y su cocina está muy equipada. Tiene lavabo , taquillas y ventiladores dentro de los dormitorios compartidos y luego ducha y lavabos fuera para no tener que esperar. El jardín es una pasada de bonito donde puedes encontrar diferentes animales como ranas negras y verdes. Tienen una zona de ocio con una mesa de billar gratis para los clientes, un pequeño Spa de pago y una zona de fumadores. Tienen bicicletas para alquilar y una gran oferta depende de los días que la quieras. Tienen diversos animalitos como perros y gatos. Gracias a Violet por su gran corazón y simpatía. No es un party hostel y eso me encantó, gente muy respetuosa.

Nada.
