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!

I highly recommend visiting this place—Pablo, the owner, makes you feel right at home. The rooms are comfortable, the kitchen is well-equipped, and they offer free coffee. The facilities are being renovated, and the cleanliness is noticeable throughout. Plus, the natural surroundings draw you in, with two friendly pets and plenty of open spaces to enjoy a getaway from the city and breathe fresh air. It's my favorite spot in Puerto Viejo. I arrived as a guest and left as a friend.

All hostels in Puerto Viejo

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!
