Guest Reviews

• Maria (9/5): -
• Anna (7/5): - The hostel is 5 minutes walking distance from the Uvita National park/beach. The WiFi is great and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The accomodation is a little bit basic and gets extremely warm during the day, due to there not having a breeze. There was one shower outside for all the guests.
• Mathilde (4/5): - Si votre intention est d'aller surfer, l'emplacement est proche de la plage Ambiance chill si c'est ce que vous recherchez Impossible de contacter l'auberge avant (ni booking ni WhatsApp ni appel, le numéro n'étant pas attribué) Pas de lumière dans la douche Chambre très sommaire Administrateur peu sérieux
• Malou (10/5): - Søde mennesker!
• Franziska (10/5): - Das Camp ist einer der besten Orte, die ich je besuchen durfte. Ich hatte eine Nacht gebucht und bin drei geblieben. Viele tolle Menschen, die Lage perfekt direkt am Meer und super ruhig in Uvita gelegen,, man fühlt sich durch die Affen und vielen Vögel wie im Dschungel...die Stimmung ist toll, der Betreiber ein genialer Typ, der hier ein kleines Paradies geschaffen hat. Wer mag, kann in der Gruppe an einer Aktivität teilnehmen, Surfstunden nehmen, sich kreativ betätigen oder einfach die Seele baumeln lassen. Der Abschied fiel hier wirklich schwer. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen 🙏
• Alexandra (10/5): In love with this place and its people - J'ai vraiment tout aimé : la gentillesse du propriétaire, la good vibe, la proximité de la plage et du parque naturel, les lits étaient confortables et l'équipement était adéquat. Pas vraiment "pas apprécié" simplement, les lieux sont relativement simples bien que très confortables.
• Irene (6/5): -
• Molina (8/5): - Ubicación
• Olivier (10/5): Merci à Julian pour sa gentillesse, son accueil et sa disponibilité - C’est juste devant la plage à 30sec mieux c’est pas possible. J’étais en dortoir et depuis que je suis en voyage (8mois) c’est le matelas le plus confortable que j’ai eu il était vraiment magique, comme dormir dans un nuage.. tout est propre et l’ambiance jungle magnifique et Julian est vraiment aux petits soins et super cool, si je retourne à Uvita c’est la bas que je retournerai sans hésiter.. en allant vers le centre, à 5mn, juste après le pont à 100m sur la droite il y a un super endroit pour manger local pas cher et vraiment délicieux, la cuisinière super sympa.. je sais plus le nom du resto mais juste en face y’a un portail avec marqué birds of paradise !! Rien en fin oui si vous aimez pas marcher, le centre est à 20mn à pied mais pour moi qui adore la marche, l’était parfait, loin du centre près de l’eau et au milieu de la nature !
• Hélène (8/5): -
• Bethany (9/5): Superb - excellent location, 2 minutes walk to the national park. very social vibe and friendly staff. only downside was how thin the mattresses were, could feel the bed frame through it
• Kateřina (8/5): Close to the beach, beatiful place for surfers. - Location of Nomadic Surf Camp is perfect. It is just 3min walk to the beach, you can rent surf board there. We were group of six so we can have one dormitory room for ourselfs. Owner is rally helpful and always at your service. The common areas are nice with plenty of seating space. You can enjoy your time here around noon when it is too hot on the beach. The volunteers at the hostel were friendly, but we often encountered same time use of the kitchen, which is very small, and it often happened that we didn't get our turn to cook until late in the evening. There are a lot of volunteers and everyone cooks separately or in small groups, so the pressure on the kitchen is really high. Unfortunately, they don't clean up after themselves and often leave it up to the cleaning lady who cleans the common areas every morning. It would help if there was a separate kitchen for guests and a kitchen for volunteers. The volunteers also used the fridge for guests which was very full. In the dormitory room is only one wardrobe for all six people, so there is no space for keeping you stuff. It was fortunate that during our stay the owner attached a few more hooks to our room, so the situation improved a bit. Do not expect the hot tub in the picture to be at the guests' service. It was outside the property during our stay.
• Iria (7/5): Good -
• Chris (2/5): Very poor - Closer to the beach No lockers for valuables. Door to room didn’t have a lock and didn’t even shut. Felt unsafe. Didn’t feel like there were any staff around. Bed was uncomfortable.
• Julia (4/5): Disappointing - Very friendly people staying there, great atmosphere, kind cleaner and great location so close to the beach and calmer nature which I really appreciate. The rooms very well cleaned but the other areas were under my expectations. Not cleaned enough for me to stay there one more night. But great price.
• Alessandra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniela (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place with nice people
• Uwe (9/5): Superb - Cool place, nice people A little remote from downtown
• Johnny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katerina (10/5): Cozy, perfect value for money, next to the beach lovely hostel - Very friendly, cozy and convenient. The owner is kind-hearted person, always helpful
• Julia (9/5): Excellent and pleasant - The kitchen is very complete, which I think is super important, and the atmosphere is very calm. The best part is that it is just steps from the beach the sound and movement of the bed in the Mixed Dormitory Room
• Silvia (6/5): Pleasant - Kitchen is well equiped. Just next to the beach. Uncomfortable beds, no privacy in the room, just a sliding door/curtain that does not fully close and no lockers.
• Kay (8/5): Very good -
• K (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charlotte (8/5): Nice spot, especially if you surf. - The lad who runs the place is very nice and there is an outdoor bath, which I loved in the evening. Few monkeys around and right on the beach (paid access). A mosquito net would help.
• Cortes (9/5): Thanks for the experience - Staff, very close of the beach. The project of painting is awesome! Bathroom is small
• Ko (10/5): Incredibly Gratifying and Nurturing - Steps away to the Colonia Playa entrance of Marino Ballena National Park with super convenient and free access to Uvita Beach before 7am. Safely able to stroll the beach at 5:30am and walk the Whale's Tail at low tide. At daybreak, thoroughly appreciated the immensity of the expanded beach and sandbar. Had the park, with the company of birds, the waves, and crabs basically all to myself, except for another person, way at a distance. Many tall trees around the hostel, with howling monkeys as alarm clocks. Saw sloth for two days. Playa Uvita bus stop from San Jose, Dominical or Quepos (not Tracopa terminal or town center) is 10 minutes walk, turning from main road and walking all the way to Playa la Colonia (aka Chaman) park entrance. Not really a problem but it is expected that many ants are around, making it important to secure food. Toilet and shower are tight and rustic, but they are functional.
• Landová (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing owners of the place, the kindest people a met in Costarica, they'll help you with anything you might need. The place looks very cozy, chill, has good vibes and its right at the most beautiful beach! I truly loved it there and highly recommend it. Pura Vida, see you soon! :)
