The owner was marvelous. He gave lots of great recommendations for several activities and does not want to sell tours like lots of others. Just perfect!!! This made our trip perfect and I highly recommend the hostel for everyone who goes to La Fortuna. The rooms were clean and we had a nice balkony to sit outside. It is a great hostel to get to know others.

Absolutely awesome hostel located in a good location in La Fortuna. The volunteers, especially Kristiane and Lily, were extremely friendly and helpful. The hostel offers a wide range of tours and activities which are a lot of fun. Rooms are relatively spacious, mine even had AC and a fan, and the bathrooms are very nice and clean. The bar which is open daily is a lot of fun and the hostel is very social and it's easy to make new friends. I loved my stay here!

I highly recommend this lodge, especially because you can spot sloths right in the garden! Imagine spending dozens of dollars on a tour and possibly not seeing one, but here, on my second day around noon, I saw a sloth for free, up in the trees. I didn’t have binoculars with me, but the kind lodge owner brought out a high-powered camera, and I got to watch the sloth move and sleep up close. If you love peace and quiet, falling asleep to the sound of a babbling stream, and waking up to birdsong, this place is perfect. Plus, you can use the kitchen for free, and it’s super clean. Best of all, everyone here is incredibly kind and welcoming

Really underrated - and cheap for what it is. People were really nice, it was clean and new, you have your own privacy if you want it and social spaces are very great. +1 for the guitar!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

    The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
