We had a private room and it was perfect. We had a little balcony which was nice to sit outside. Room was spacious for two people - shower was hot too. Staff all super friendly. We used the restaurant a fair bit - the food was good. We also did a surf lesson with the hostel and the team were really good - would have loved to do another but we ran out of time. Beach is a 30 second walk which was great as well. We would stay here again :)

Incredible place, at the border of Jaco. Super tranquila vibes, a wonderful garden, comfy rooms, and the most beautiful decoration and kitchen area I have ever seen in a hostel. Clean and tidy, without a doubt, the best hostel we have stayed in CR sofar. The breakfast is also delicious, best gallo pinto sofar (btw I would love to have the recipe of that)

All hostels in Jacó

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.

    Everyone at the hostel was incredible - the owner, Brian, as well as the friendly volunteers and staff. There were great food promos each day, generous happy hour times and prices, and the AC at night was an absolute lifesaver. I felt extremely safe at this hostel as both a young woman and a foreigner, and my friends and I were very sad to leave. A couple of us are even considering going back to work there!!
