Great location, nice kitchen facilities, pool is such a bonus. They are strict about quiet time which is helpful to be able to get a good nights sleep. Definitely glad I stayed in the 4 person dorm though, a/c throughout the night and I'm always cold so they gave me a blanket. They were helpful with planning a shuttle to La Fortuna and also the surf lessons were great (cash only).

Great base for visiting Tamarindo

Very clean, very friendly, very helpful and great value for money in Tamarindo. A lot of people used the kitchen for cooking but it was extremely well managed. After hours security response was excellent.

OK for a couple of nights if you’re looking for a cheap place to stay.

Great location - near to the centre and a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Amazing value for money, clean and friendly.

The staff we all very friendly and flexible, and helped us a lot when we were in a pinch. Also, as a smoker in a country that forbids smoking almost anywhere, I was thrilled that the hostel has an area for smoking.

great place to stay although they could do a few small things to make it better

the pool, chilling area and kitchen were great! and they even had things like oil in the kitchen for free which is super helpful, and an ice machine 😍 there is staff/security there constantly even at night/early in the morning the vibe is just really great which i think comes from the attitude of the staff - they’re the best!
