+ it was cheap + Common outside area + Safe parking

- we got a whole dorm for us, which was not really clean and smelled very bad - bathroom was inside the room, open on top and also not super clean - kitchen was dirty

I wondered what happened because what I read in other comments about being perfect and what I saw was so different. First of all, everything is very very dirty. The kitchen is unusable as it disgusting - the fridges are rusty and inside there's just so much left over and rotting food. The (only cold) shower is full with cockroach and with wires you can see. Also, the doorm was next to their living area, so it's very noisy. They watch or listen to very loud things so don't expect to relax. They also wake up, talk and cook breakfast at 4:30 am. The open area could have been nice if it wasn't for the smell of dog pee. I've booked 4 nights, I left after 2.

José was fantastic and very friendly. Nice for a night or two; I recommend anyone who is here for the bioluminescence to stay in this hostel.

José and José are very nice hosts! They help you with everything you need. I felt at home. It s very clean (thanks José for cleaning so good ;) ), 5mn by foot from the town center, 2mn from a soda. Safe place to be and to have nice conversations with this tico family!

Honestly, I don't have anything to complain about.

I liked the shared facilities

The room was extremely hot, and there were mosquitos

-eating space was nice -allowed us to use washer and dryer -proximity to markets and bank

-hostel workers were being too “friendly” and we felt very uncomfortable and scared -bugs in the shower -insanely hot with horrible fans that don’t really promote airflow -a plug sparked electricity and exposed dangerous wires -didn’t feel very clean in the room -very molded and rusted fridges and lots of moldy food inside -the town is really small and was scary to walk around after dark, lots of places with no signal -Might have bed bugs! ppl in our group got many bites that appear like bed bug bites

very nice location, helpful staff

the room was a bit hot, the fan was very loud

lovely staff, super helpful for booking taxis and very smiley. location was useful and in the middle of lots of restaurants and only about 10 minutes drive from all the attractions (ferry/ bioluminescence/ tortuga tour). lovely outdoor areas to sit and chill. we got given an absolutely massive room too which was great

our room was ridiculously hot, way hotter than outside. we had to leave the doors open to cool it down and the fan we were given didn’t help much. the kitchen was a bit of a mess too
