The hotel was really fun and the staff were all kind and super helpful. The room and bathroom were nice the only issue was the bathroom door was broken off the hinge. Really nice to be right on the beach

My friends and I stayed in a room with a queen bed and a single bed with a shared bathroom. The room was great! However, there were aunts EVERYWHERE on the wall next to the single bed. I was so thrown off by them and they were in the sheets as well.

I almost didn’t stay at Room2Board— they are VERY Instagram-friendly, and I am not exactly the IG demographic. That said, I am glad I didn’t get scared off! Room2Board was clean and friendly, and they were strict about quiet hours starting at 11 pm, so no worries about pounding music all night.
My only two comments are SUPER minor: it would be great if they provided hooks in the rooms to hang up wet/damp clothes, especially since they don’t want you to hang clothes out on the balconies, and the free coffee doesn’t actually start at 5 am like the signs in the room say- it starts at 7 am.

This is such a great hostel. I had a private room with a shared bathroom. Staff was friendly and the place was big, bright and clean. Right by the beach for great surfing. 10/10. Even got to watch nfl by the pool in the big projector
Close to a few good bars for night life. Don’t go alone at night. Jaco is high risk if you are out alone at night.

There is a reason why this place is rated “best hostel in Costa Rica”. Clean, cool vibe, really nice pool, great location. This place is fantastic. My only gripe was that the free morning coffee wasn’t more than luke-warm. I’d still gladly go back.

Warm and welcoming staff. Great attention by owner to make sure your stay is wonderful. Friendly customers from all over world. Tour services available plus surfing lessons and rentals. Yoga and group hikes. Good food. Pleasant bar atmosphere and DJ most nights, until 11pm ... not too late so you can still get sleep. Options for private rooms and baths with AC, which we had, so good for any adult even tho it says it is a hostel. Good Wifi. Steps to beach. Easy walk to town, for shops, restaurants and bars. Overall a fantastic experience.

clean sheets. good ac, lockers... all good. The staff is friendly and speak good english. The swimming pool and bar is a nice area to meet new people. Rooms are better then Selina, however, it's not that big, so the vibe can be quiet at some part of the day. It is chill tho.

This hostel has good vibes, tasty food, and is steps from the surf in Jaco. The main strip where restaurants and bars are is a few minutes walk away. The rooms are good as well. My only complaint is that they charge you $10 per day to use AC, even on their highest priced rooms. The rooms do not have much airflow so AC is necessary.
Overall excellent stay at Room2Board, highly recommended!
