The property is located outside the busy and noisy centre of town in an oasis of peace and rest. The views of the sea, and the plants, trees and animals all around are magic! ✨ saw a sloth right opposite the gate of Svastha and Tucana fly around the yoga Shala!

Rihanny at the front desk is a total star. Calm, pleasant, warm and helpful she made our stay exceptional. The hostel was a joy, wonderful grounds with a resident sloth (Raoul), a number of agouti and most wonderful...the red straberry dart frogs. There are flowers at every corner and the trees and lush vegetation add ambiance and privacy. They have a good system for food storage in the shared kitchen and a nice little pool area.

It’s very clean and quiet. Everyone is extremely helpful. If you want some action you can go into town (10min walking or 3min bike) if you want some peace and quiet you’re right at the beach or stay in the really nice garden. It’s really green and beautiful. As a sólo traveller you can easily connect with others or chill in a hammock! Wifi is working everywhere, beds have curtains for privacy and you can even rent bikes. I really really enjoyed my stay, I already came back and will come back again!

Amazing location, beach is beautiful. Staff were super friendly and very helpful (especially Allehandra). The hostel has a very chilled out vibe. Other travellers were respectful, welcoming and friendly. Our room was really nice (clean and spacious). Excellent facilities.

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.

Best hostel in Puerto Viejo! Had an amazing stay once again. I keep coming back here. The staff is amazing, always willing to help or just chat with you. It has everything you need and is located in between town and cocles beach. Both are walking distance which is really nice. Recommend anyone to stay here!
