“Best hostel in Santa Teresa”

It was my second time staying at ICO and this hostel is simply perfect ! The facilities are clean, the staff is amazing, it’s close to the beach and the double beds In the 8 people dorm are definitely a plus.

Very cozy hostel with super kind and open staff, lots of space in the doorms, well equipped and clean kitchen, clean bathrooms, pretty common area makes it easy to connect with others, very close to the beautiful beach. We enjoyed our stay a lot and would have loved to stay even longer, I highly recommend!

“Amazing Hostel”

Super friendly staff. Marco, the owner is a great host always aware that everybody feels well. Thanks also to Rosario, Lucas and Lupe. The place is very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend Ico Living Hostel.

“Amazing time”

The people I met there were amazing, you can always talk with someone. The room was spacious and had big beds which I loved. The lockers were big as well. Super close to the beach, just a 2 min walk Close to supermarkets, restaurants etc. They can also arrange a shuttle for you to your next destination which was super helpful!

Great location and kitchen area, as well as really great staff.

“the most comfortable hostel i’ve been in”

“Hostel with a heart”

Very friendly and helpful staff, great location, nicely cleaned common areas. Kitchen equipments could be upgraded but essentials for cooking are there. The

“Amazing”

Loved the vibe, location and big beds in the dorm! I even returned after visiting a different place in Costa Rica 😅 Would absolutely recommend staying here!

Property was really clean. The cleaning lady was super friendly. Nice kitchen, chill atmosphere and the staff was really helpful.

I stayed for 10 nights (dorm and privates) and absolutely loved the place. It is a great hostel for meeting other travellers. Great vibes and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Marco and his team are super welcoming an helpful and they really make this place special. Pura Vida. The dorm is spacious with queensize bunkbeds and aircondition. I would definately recommend staying there. It's a place you don't want to leave again.

“New Hostel with the comfiest dorm I’ve ever slept in”

Super nice and cozy brand new hostel, the dorm is so spacious and the beds are so comfy, did sleep so good in this place, the kitchen is super nice and perfectly equipped and there is so much space for everyone.

“Pura vida baby”

Double beds, aircon and a huge dorm - you can’t go wrong. The big, open kitchen was a great place to socialise and chill and I met plenty of friendly people even though there’s no forced activities. Marco is creating a beautiful thing here, and it’s so well priced, just seconds from the beach and staffed by the best people! The surf lessons they run from the hostel were the best price I saw and also so professional and fun. I’d come back in a heartbeat!

“Super cute hostel”

The nice outdoor kitchen, very clean, social vibe, cute dogs, very friendly and helpful staff, the owner was very helpful, nice shower facilities

everything was just perfect!

The staff was very helpful and responded quickly to our messages. The kitchen was great, and very clean. The location is in walking distance of a supermarket and the beach.

“Great stay! Great location!”

Very central, cute kitchen area and clean rooms and bathroom

The location is perfect. In a few minutes you are at the beautiful beach. The owner of the place is really friendly, and gave us some great tips for dinner and other things to do. We thought the room was a bit small for 2 persons and backpacks, but overall the room was good. There is no ac, but the fan works good. We read some negative comments about the bathrooms. There are 2 bathrooms: toilet+shower. The bathrooms are clean! Yes, 2 bathrooms are shared with everybody, but it isn't a big hostel so there aren't that many people. All by all, good experience with the bathrooms:)

This place has been nicely designed with a touch of Bali-vibes a few meters aside from the main street, preventing super loud noise from distrubing you. It was a luxury to have had a 140x200 cm mattress in the dorm. The lockers could be bigger and you could feel a bit the spring frame of the mattress but not to the point that it would make your night uncomfortable. I am a light sleeper and slept super well during my stay. It was also easy to get to know other travellers. The kitchen vad all I needed and the location is super central and close tomain bars, restaurants etc.

“Absolutely Amaizing”

This place is stunning, people there are super kind, welcoming and helpful with anything you need. Close to the best surf spot, shops and restaurant. Love staying there and sharing time with the crew! Absolutely coming back 🤍

“Almost perfect and would stay again, but different room.”

The staff was great, the location was perfect, quiet at night and in the middle of everything. The staff was excellent, they recommended the best surf teacher and helped with everything we needed. The internet was decent for a zoom call (but no video), the kitchen was perfect. I didn’t stay in the dorm but the dorm beds were double and i think that’s amazing.
