Very functional hostel. We just had a room with a ventilator. But we don't need more. Clean, very sweet hosts and they treated us like family. The Tourguide Arturo is associated with the hostel and a great guide. I can recommend booking with him over booking with other tours. We went on a private turtle and boat tour with him.

All you need for a stay in Tortuguero! :)

Lovely Eddil made me feel at home straight away. She helped me organise affordable transport to her hostel and my onward travel. She is incredibly friendly, picked me up from the harbour, and also arranged 3 tours including a turtle nesting tour. The hostel has all you need for a basic stay. It was clean, had comfortable beds, and I felt safe at all times. Eddil was always on hand to help with any questions I had. The breakfast is also delicious!

This is a basic hostel. We had our room which contained a bed a small table and a fan. There were two hooks on the wall. We shared a bathroom with the room next door. There were kitchen facilities but we did not use them. Tortuguero is very hot and sticky and we found it hard work. But we couldn't really afford the next step up to finding somewhere with Aircon. Bring enough clothes as nothing dries if you try to wash it.

Costarika trip

The very nice owner picked me up on arrival at the port and accompanied me to the accommodation. She helped me find my way around the offer of trips, because she offers them herself. The equipment corresponds to the standard of the hostel. Smaller room equipped only with bed, shared shower and toilet. There is a small equipped kitchen with a refrigerator. Coffee, tea and bananas available. Breakfast is possible on request. Very nice and nice place.

A simple but nice place in Tortuguero. The center is just 5min away and the beach really close. The owner was really kind and welcomed us warmly. She did with us the Turtletour which was amazing!

I had a wonderful time at Green Macaw! The room was comfortable and everything was very clean. Eddil is such a friendly host and helps whereever she can. I really enjoyed cooking tortillas together with her! Her brother Arturo is also a great tour-guide for example a night walk! I can totally recommend this place and because of them I enjoyed my stay at the tortuguero a lot ☺️

Good budget option if you plan to be out and about for most of your stay. Clean and tidy. Friendly, local host family. No A/C; only fans. No mosquito nets but wasn’t an issue.
