Jungle River Lodge

The river, the excursions, some of the property

No ice machine, lost water for half a day, no daily housekeeping, no AC, no hot tub

- Location was amazing on the river - Lovely natural rock pools - Friendly staff - Clean

Overpriced for what is offered - only 1 fan and 1 toilet/shower for 12 bed dorm - not enough relaxing seating in communal area, just a few tables - no hot water and water didn’t work at all on 2 occasions - for price I would expect free water refills and tea/coffee like most other

Astonishing location and amenities. There’s a massive deck overlooking the rainforest and the river and natural pools maintained by the owners. Refreshing spot to enjoy a cold drink or a home cooked meal.

What a beautiful sacred space out in nature. I loved the home cooked meals, and they were right within my travel budget of around 10$ per meal. The location is breathtaking. Photos on the website don't even do the place justice! Its very beautiful, serene and scenic, a great place for a quiet retreat to just meditate and take it all in. There is a national park nearby that the hostel offers a guided hike for. They also offer white water rafting which I would highly recommend. The blue natural pools beneath the balcony to the place are a very nice touch to an already magical retreat. The owner was amazing, and all the staff were friendly helpful and accommodating. You must go experience this place.

Location was great, loved the pools to cool off in. Owner was helpful and friendly, goodmusic and good food.

Room a little hot, but not their fault but unusually hot weather due to smoke haze.

Everything was awesome, From the Host to the food and of course the location. Very recomended, i'll come back soon Thanks

Kathy was amazing. She was very accommodating and helpful. A true down to earth amazing lady! Would recommend staying here. We stayed in a private room and loved it. The family dinners are also delicious and the entire place is on the river with a great view. Definitely book canyoning/ white water rafting.

Amazing location and friendly staff They have loads of reviews on hostelworld so check them out

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a hostel! The environment is EPIC - you are inside a canyon, next to a river, with private diving spots and natural pools. The communal dinners with the other backpackers are super nice, the hike in Pico Bonito is bonito bonito, and the rafting is super fun but you can get it much cheaper literally right next door. The owner is so sweet and stays present with everyone :) Everything here is truly paradise on Earth!!!

Food is expensive, but extremely tasty! There’s no kitchen, so bring what you can from La Ceiba before you arrive. But you’re not really paying for the food, you’re paying for the atmosphere!!!
