Sehr liebevoll hergerichtetes Gelände mit verschiedenen Ecken, wo man sich auch zurückziehen kann. Fussläufig nach Puerto Viejo und auch zum nächsten Beach - Lage top! Kostenloser Wasserspender 👍🏻

"My time at La Ruka was full of making memories with other travelers, exploring Puerto Viejo."

10.0

La Ruka is the perfect location between Cocles and the town centre. I loved the bikes available for rent! The hostel is clean with friendly staff and is a quiet place to unwind after a long day of exploring. I really enjoyed the communal spaces like the kitchen, yoga shala, dining room, and reception area for meeting new friends and sharing dinner and conversations. I love La Ruka so much that I returned for two more visits and would return again!

Une auberge très bien située, entre le centre ville (avec notamment la station de bus) et la mer ! L’ambiance y est très agréable, et les chambres confortables

"My Time at La Ruka"

10.0

My stay at La Ruka was so much more than just a stop along my travels it was a true immersion in an atmosphere of sharing, simplicity, and kindness ! Every detail of the place invites you to slow down, in a spirit of respect for nature and the local community ! The energy here is contagious you quickly realize that traveling is not only about seeing landscapes, but also about meeting, connecting, and exchanging Thank you to the whole team for this beautiful lesson in authentic hospitality

The only negative thing? …That I had to leave!

"Un lloc ideal per poder visitar el paradís tant amb cotxe com en bici"

6.0

Bona ubicació i ideal per viatgers solitaris, instal•lacions diverses.

No hi ha esmorzar i t’has d’espavilar per poder menjar…

"Excelente muy recomendado"

10.0

El lugar precioso, la administración impresionante, cocina perfectamente organizada, personal un amor, cama hiper cómoda con privacidad y todo lo necesario. Super limpio y respetan el sueño de los demás.

Creo que las bicis no deberían ser alquiladas y menos a ese precio.. no están en condiciones. Son súper pesadas. Agregar set de comidas free cuando sobra. Arreglar salida de la ducha.
