Guest Reviews
- Rosa (9/5): - Todo perfecto, buena ubicación con bonitas vista al rio,personal adorable, todo bastante nuevo y moderno y café a disposición :)
- Patty Vegetariana (10/5): - Estaba limpio.
Cerca del río
Tiene refri para poder poner algunos alimentos.
También para lavar los trastes.
Hay agua caliente. Sólo que, la recepción no es 24/7 y tuve que esperar dos horas adecuadas que abrieran para asignarme la habitación.
- Marie Moreau (10/5): Super auberge de jeunesse - Super auberge de jeunesse, avec une grande chambre, des lockers qui ferment à clé (fourni) et une salle de bain privative pour la chambre.
Super emplacement, au bord de l'eau et juste à côté des quais d'embarquement des bateaux et kayak Les horaires de la réception sont assez limitées, il est parfois compliqué de trouver quelqu'un, même si le restaurant voisin peut aider
- Putz (10/5): Las mejores puestas de sol y restaurante - Me encantó el lugar, tortuguero es hermoso y está hostal es agradable. Está situada junto al canal, la pieza de 4 personas está excelente, muy cómoda con aire acondicionado, todo super limpio y además tiene refigerardor y cositas de cocina en la pieza. Tiene un balcón grande para descansar y para preparar café .
Además al lado está el restaurante, un increíble lugar para ver el atardecer y comer algo . Quiero agradecer al staff dde meseras del restaurante por ser tan amables conmigo, fueron super buenas anfitrionas , me presentaron a la iguana harry, me dieron datos y me hicieron sentir como en cada.
También contarte kayak y estuvo bonito Todo me gustó!

- Yasmin (10/5): Loved every thing about it - Loved every thing about it. The room, the ventilation in the room and the a/c, having some of the kitchen equipment in the room as a fridge.
Getting the housekeeping service everyday.
It's really a lovely hostel with an amazing and relaxed vibe. I enjoyed my time relaxing by the hammocks hearing the sweet sound of the birds singing. I would only add the breakfast service, nada mas!
- Divya (9/5): - Beautiful property, well located a few minutes walk to everything . The owner and the staff were very responsive and helpful. Loved the vibe. Highly recommend! No hot water.
- Ellie (9/5): Mooi en goed hostel! - 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. Eigenlijk niets.
- Joelle (8/5): -
- Lucia (9/5): Cómodo y limpio - Estaba todo muy limpio, tiene aire acondicionado, las camas y almohadas eran cómodas y las taquillas funcionaban bien. Hay una balda para dejar el móvil cargando al lado de cada cama. No había agua caliente y pondría mantas, las personas con las que compartimos habitación tuvieron toda la noche el aire puesto y pasamos bastante frío.

- Valeria Rizzato (8/5): Ottimo ostello a Tortuguero - Lo staff è super disponibile, mi hanno dato informazioni su come raggiungere l'ostello e che attività offrono in anticipo, così è stato più facile organizzarmi. Nota bene, accettano solo contanti.
C'è una zona relax con tre amache e la barca ti può lasciare al molo davanti all'ostello (molto comodo).
Stanza spaziosa con armadietto con chiave e bagno finestrato. Ventilatore e aria condizionata in camera.

- Carole (10/5): Parfait - Tout était parfait! Le personnel est adorable, les chambres tres propres et agréables, le restaurant est délicieux.
Un des meilleurs hostels de notre sejour. Rien
- Sarah (8/5): Tolles Hostel mit guter Lage - Die Zimmer sind schön und jeder hat einen großen Schrank für sich. Im Zimmer gibt es eine kleine Küche, außerdem steht eine Gemeinschaftsküche zur Verfügung. Direkt im Hostel gibt es ein tolles Restaurant mit leckerem Essen und Getränken – dazu mit schönem Blick auf den Fluss. Zum Entspannen gibt es auch Hängematten.

- Grace (9/5): Great value and beautiful location - The location is perfect. The hostel is beautiful. The beds are super comfortable. The staff is so kind and helpful. They were excellent at communicating both before and during the stay. I would definitely stay here again. It's also nice that you can drink the tap water and use their kitchen facilities. The coffee and coffee maker is also very much appreciated. Having a refrigerator in our dorm was great as well! The bathroom in the dorm is very small. As long as it is cleaned daily, it's okay - because the water from the shower gets everywhere. They need more towels in the bathroom so we can clean it ourselves in between the daily cleanings.
I would not recommend booking the turtle nesting tour through the hostel. Our group had a very poor experience with this tour. The turtle tour is a really special and unique experience, so take the time to book with a tour operator that has good reviews. I would be happy to provide more feedback/detail to the hostel should they contact me. The canal tour we did through the hostel was very nice.
- Dominika (9/5): Superb - 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. Nothing special being honest.
- Lena (8/5): Very good - 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.
- Solène (10/5): El hostel más lindo donde me he hospedado en Costa Rica 💙 - 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. Todo fue perfecto
- Mirjam (8/5): Good place to stay - Room was nice and functional, AC worked well and I slept well. A bit of decoration in the room would be nice.
- Ricard (10/5): Excellent, top service, activities, quality, helpful, and the place is wonderful… - Clean
- David (10/5): Exceptional - This was perfect. AC, centrally located, cheap, good for a family of 4.
- Colleen (7/5): It is very remote but a great place to see for a few days. - This was an excellent stay for the price! It was very clean and the bed was comfortable enough for the price. The staff was great and Leo was my guide on the canoe tour, which was fantastic. He was super friendly, patient and knowledgeable. The wifi went out for all of Tortuguerro for about 20 hours because of a bad storm. It was not the fault of the hostel. I would recommend going to Tortuguerro with extra cash in case wifi goes out. Overall, I recommend this hostel! I have no complaints.
- Sebastien (7/5): Strategically located, nice and comfortable - Functional, clean and very well located Can be noisy depending on the neighbours
- Veronika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): I loved feeling like I was on an island. - 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. Can't say I had a dislike.
- Jean-paul (8/5): Very good -
- Jessica (7/5): Good -
- Lance (10/5): Would stay again! - Great staff!
