Cool but loud

A cool place with a great location. The staff were really cool and helped with anything that was necessary. The common area is fun and it's easy to meet new friends there

Loud music all day long until 23:00. It's horribly hard to find a quiet corner inside the whole hostel area

Perfect stay in Tamarindo

Perfect location, 5 mins from the beach. All the staff is really nice and helpful. They have a very good surf instructor on site. Beds are super comfortable and the room was really clean. The kitchen has everything you need and loads of storage space for your own food. Close to restaurants, bars, supermarkets and shops. The perfect stay in Tamarindo. We will definetly come back.

Good

The beds and pillows were really comfortable. Check in was easy.

A little paint could go a long way. Maybe next time I can stay a night during low season and paint a room for you?

Nothing fancy, but descent hostel and good for weekend getaway at Tamarindo

The kitchen is stocked quite well and the bathrooms/showers are spacious and relatively clean. I LOVED that the bedrooms had AC and it cooled the room very quickly. Beds were relatively comfortable and so were the linens. The location is perfect for visiting the beach or going out to the bars. They have a quiet time of about 11PM so even if it's loud, they do respect your need to sleep. The staff were also super lovely and practically leapt to help you even if they couldn't do much. The free Wi-fi was pretty good for me though some people said they had issues.

No soap in the bathrooms. Bathrooms could also have used an extra cleaning with so many people staying there. Bedroom door did not lock (was broken), and had no safe place for valuables unless staff locked them up in a closet. Didn't allow early check-in despite offering it on Booking.com (maybe a miscommunication or just because my group booked last minute). Salt water crocodile at the beach so didn't swim. No, that has nothing to do with this hostel, but I thought people might like to know before they go. Was kinda cool though.

I only stayed for 1 night so I don’t want to judge too much. but I had the ved underneath the aircon and it dripped onto me the whole night so when I woke up in the morning my bedsheets where soaked… also I I didn‘t feel much of a social atmosphere.

it’s cheap but I really wouldn’t stay here again

good facilities with a pool, games and good kitchen.

the staff were so unhelpful, the manager was just straight up rude and pretty much refused to help me when I just asked how to get a bus. My food and 2 other guests food was stolen from the fridge. the beds weren’t comfy and the dorms were dirty with doors that wouldn’t shut, my friend saw a rat in our room too.

I don’t recommend this hostel at all

Nothing honestly

The room and the bathrooms were dirty. I asked the staff about the bus to Flamingo and they told me to google it 😡 because apparently they have no idea. They weren’t too friendly.
