• David (10/5): Útil - Ubicación Nada
• Alonso (8/5): - Bonito y tranquilo El desayuno
• Jasmin (8/5): Ich würde sofort wieder in die CasaJungla. Ich habe mich dort sehr wohlgefühlt - Sehr viel Liebe zum Detail Die Lage ist ein bisschen ausserhalb
• Guillaume (5/5): - La piscine Le personnel, le fait que, pour la première fois en voyage, l'on me demande 15€ pour laisser mon sac à dos qq heure avant que mon bus n'arrive.
• Jonathan (8/5): -
• Jonathan (8/5): - La place rends les gens sociable
• natalia (10/5): Ok agradable - Si el lugar era cómodo y agradable el sitio estaba limpio todo como corresponde En la parte de la ducha en la caída del agua la rejilla estaba cortada y levantada en la que mi acompañante se cortó el dedo del pie ósea fue un corte pero todo lo demás dentro de la instalación bien
• Pierrette Hawley (10/5): -
• Tamara (9/5): Very nice 3 night stay - Great location around the corner from the best surfing and plenty of board rental options. Staff was super helpful and welcoming. We had a private room and bath and it was very efficient and clean. I wasn't able to enjoy the hammock area to relax due to unpleasant smell. All else was very good at this hostel.
• pauline (10/5): Parfait - Endroit très paisible, le jardin est parfait pour relaxer, grande cuisine ouverte, personnel adorable et chambres très confortables. Tout près de la plage, superbe auberge Rien
• ELENA (10/5): - Todo esta bien!
• Ramírez (6/5): -
• Gal (8/5): Close to beach, quiet area, clean and comfortable. - I stayed only one night. The location is in a quiet neighborhood. No shops or supermarkets around. The central street is 10-15 minutes walk. The beach is very close, like 5 minutes walk. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the bathrooms are clean and spacious. The outside area is very pleasant to hang out, the pool is nice, although the water were not cold enough in my opinion. Nice outdoor showers (with colder water:).
• Alicia (10/5): Perfecta - Lo tranquilo y amables que son, y el desayuno está muy rico
• Cordero (6/5): -
• Dana (10/5): -
• Pierrette Hawley (10/5): - Très près de la plage. Cuisine très propre et très bien équipée. La piscine est propre. La musique était toujours pareille et très plate dans l'aire ouverte.
• Ulises (10/5): -
• Somasundaram (10/5): - Great group of people. Made some amazing friends. The breakfast was very tasty and fulfilling. The host and front desk members were really nice. Great amenities for a hostel. Will definitely go back if I end up in Jaco. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. Nothing I can think of
• Liliana (7/5): - Molto carino e accogliente. Personale gentile camere pulite. La colazione buona ma poca.
• Maria (9/5): Es war wirklich schön, eine kleine Oase nahe am Meer. Das Personal war Mega freundlich und die Terasse war sehr gemütlic -
• Blandon (6/5): - Mala la atención
• Krzysztof (10/5): - The hostel is very well organized. The rooms and shared spaces are regularly cleaned. There is warm water in every shower. It's very close to the beach and if you fancy some sightseeing on shore you can rent a bike. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Fully recommend. Nothing
• Michel (9/5): - Chambre petite et confortable. Avec un immense ventilateur mais sans clim. Pour une nuit ça va. Proximité de la plage. Jaco n'est pas un lieu incontournable. Une rue avec des commerces et la plage, pas plus. Jaco n'est pas un incontournable côté Pacifique.
• Kateřina (8/5): -
• Maria Victoria (9/5): It was an excellent experience and for sure will stay there again the next time we go to Jaco. - I like the fact that it’s very close to the beach. Very nice staff, well organized and very helpful Very friendly place, quiet and I feel safe

• Hannah (10/5): -
• Brunet (9/5): - La proximité et l'écart avec le centre ville. Le calme et le cadre a l'intérieur De partager ma chambre avec des filles
• Alix (5/5): Chambre confortable mais hôte désagréable - La chambre était confortable et les meubles plutôt moderne Il y avait un énorme cafard dans le lit le soir quand nous nous sommes couchés. De plus, nous avions une excursion pêche le lendemain matin de 7h à 11h mais nous avions payé pour un petit déjeuner servi uniquement entre 8h et 9h… nous avions donc gentiment demandé à la responsable si elle pouvait nous le garder, elle a accepté mais quand nous sommes rentrés elle nous a dit qu’elle n’avait enfaite rien gardé, que le Check Out étant terminé nous devions partir d’ici!
• Brandon (10/5): - Love it Not staying more

• Powerserg (10/5): Phenomenal - Friendly receptionist clean pool amazing a place where I can relax and eat meet new friends
• Garrie (10/5): Exceptional - Very cool, hippie vibe. Great breakfast included! Tranquil setting. Comfortable bed, nice little pool. A good amount of zones to chill out in and owner was lovely plus super cute dog on site It was a little far from the centre but we knew this beforehand, this gives it the serene atmosphere we liked about it however.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - A friendly hostel, with cooked breakfast every morning which is a good time to meet the other guests. It is out of the centre of Jaco, which is no bad thing

• Jon (10/5): Great location, staff, food, pool - Very nice kitchen, rooms, great WIFI. Breakfast in the morning was tasty pinto beans, rice, eggs and plantains. Enjoyed my stay, got 2 great roomates but my 3rd roomate unfortunately would go to bed when I woke up at 5am. I really enjoyed the pool, very clean and relaxing. N/A
• Arielle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jennifer (10/5): Great. - So clean and well loved. Beautiful spacious bathrooms. Delicious gallo pinto breakfast included. Hammocks, pool. Felt very secure. Hot room with noisy fan, but nice settees and hammocks in garden as option to cool off.
• Michell (7/5): Nice outdoor but lacks inside dorm. - Really nice outdoor space around the pool. Loved the common space decor. Comfortable beds. Musty smell in room. Being told at 945 pm. That the one time my roommate and I laughed too laugh because a mouse ran over my feet in my room the owner/lady scolded us and said and to stop because it's quiet time.
• Elena (9/5): Superb - Nice clean colorful little hostel close to the beach
• Jade (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful property. Very nice common area and the amenities were great. They offered bikes free for 1 hour to ride into town. Very helpful host.
• Romero (7/5): Good - There were some guests smoking mariguana, the smell was very strong, management did not even notice.
• Steve (8/5): It's an ok hostel - The lady that worked there was friendly, and so was the other guests The breakfast is nice but not very filling. A slice of bread or banana might have been a nice extra touch. I felt like they could have been more informative with information about things to do
• Isabell (9/5): Superb -
• Eric (10/5): This is a great hostel to meet fellow travelers in a quiet, clean, and inviting space. - Clean, tasty breakfast, friendly staff, free parking, accepted credit card payment on-site. Location is a bit further removed from the main area of restaurants. This could essentially be considered a good thing if you want more quiet.
• Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hayley (9/5): Nice and comfortable. - Nice breakfast, drinking water available and close to the beach
• Hussein (10/5): Exceptional - Loved this property, the owner takes care of all the guests and her breakfast was great.

• Lucy (10/5): Lovely quiet space - During the stay it was all time maintained clearness in all spaces, as well swimming pool area. Shared room was arranged comfortably and excepcional breakfast was included. Thank you.
• Гребенькова (9/5): Lovely and peaceful place! - The hotel is located in a quiet street, away from the seediness and noise. Sleeping with the window open, all I could hear was crickets, birds chirping and waves lapping. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the big supermarket where you can get pretty much everything. It was great to have breakfast in tge garden. The lovely hostess cooked rice with beans, fried egg and plantains + plus tea or coffee as self-service. There's a big and very clean fridge that you use to keep your food. The pool is small, but clean and refreshing. And the beach is really close - about 5 minutes on foot. Really convenient! In the garden/lounge area, as lovely as the music was, sometimes it was a bit loud.
• Jessica (9/5): Great one night stay - Nice pool and outside areas, staff were friendly, the included breakfast was delicious! Pool was meant to close at 10 but was shut down 20 mins early. The fan in the room attached to the ceiling couldn’t be adjusted (anything less than the maximum turned it off), and due to having the bed that wasn’t a bunk with its own fan, it was pretty powerful and cold at times
• Yan (9/5): Superb -
• Radi (10/5): Marvellous - Everything All was spot on
• Oonagh (9/5): Superb - Nice atmosphere! Lovely lighting and background music especially for chilling in the pool in the evening
• Takeshi (9/5): Superb -
• Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hernan (9/5): Superb -
• Andrews (6/5): Pleasant - Hotel matched picture online, rooms were clean. Pool and lounging area. Netflix was the bonus highlight. Was told to pay in person no cc when I got there they had no change, even after getting something to eat and presented change in local currency had to wait long for change. Need to specify mixed room on the. website had to call to find that out. Family dog just walking all through the premises and it echoed from upstairs in the night .Staff unwilling to give a dry towel the next day when only booking for one night and the towel is already medium sized and absorbs quickly after one shower. Good for 1 night short stay.
• Jeanine (10/5): It was great! We loved the location and the host! - Breakfast was great. The host was very kind and helpful!
• Robert (9/5): Very enjoyable. - All good.
• Brandon (10/5): Exceptional - This is a nice place and very close to the beach, please visit the is a nice spot and you can fell a nice vibe from the staff Have to go home
• Thor-r (10/5): Great space with great vibe - Super cool style on the rooms, kind of bohoemia/hippie but modern and good still. Garden is great with basilisks, birds ad lizards. Short walk to the beach, has a nice pool and hammocks. Good breakfast, good coffee, good comfort. Nearby chill bar.
• Stefany (10/5): Very Comfortable and Relaxing. - I loved my stay here, I felt very comfortable, it’s a safe and quiet area, perfect for those who have a car and want rest. The hostel is close to ‘El Miro’ (10mins walk to the entrance of the hike). The kitchen its very nice for those who likes cooking, they have plenty of space in the kitchen area. The pool is great after a long day by the beach. The breakfast they include it’s delicious and very filling.
• Jairo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roth (9/5): Great little property. Good breakfast. Great location. - Great breakfast. Hot water. Air conditioning. Nice fellow travelers. Pool was pretty tiny and the water was very warm.
• Esteban (7/5): Good -
• Antonio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (9/5): Very lovely stay with a true Jungle atmosphere 😍 - The breakfast was a Costa Rican typical fare. The host served the same breakfast daily. This was fine with myself and friends as we were able to cook and add things like sausage to our plates if desired ~ Not on the host but Costa Rica goes to bed early. The sun is down by 6 pm and quiet hours are observed shortly after through the night. A few times the pool and facilities would shut down early if no one was using them. This could be a bother on occasion if we didn't arrive back at the room until after things had been shut down at 7pm vs the 10pm time posted.
• Michaela (9/5): Overal really nice, despite the hot night without the ac. - The shared area was brand new with new pool and nice kitchen area. Not in the centre but close to the beach. Parking inside available. No ac in the room (but we should have checked that) and the vent was not great.
• Johanna (7/5): Okay stay if you pick the room with aircon. Breakfast is great - The rooms with aircon on the new side are nice. The rooms on the old side without, are bit too small for 2 ppl, and fan does not help the warm&humidity.
• Juju (10/5): Exceeded any expectations! :D - Delicious breakfast, right by the beach, super clean and beautiful, good value for money and the owners are soooo sweet. I loved every moment at this place! Would stay again.
