Really well set up. Gorgeous pool and open kitchen for hanging out. Staff are super friendly and helpful. I hadn’t stayed in a hostel in over 10 years, so was unsure about what a dorm would be like. No worries - totally chilled. To any other solo travelers in their mid-30s - this place is fab.

Absolutely incredible experience. I would love to stay here again. BOOK NOW! Downtown is a few steps away and the volcano is literally on the same street.

Selina is an amazing hostel experience, no matter where you stay. We always enjoy the stay

Nice property but felt they lack to execute on VIP Benefits commitments. They tried to pull off the welcome drink as their 2 drink commitment — After discussion manager agreed but this should have never been the case. I did not get credit for the previous night when they failed to tell me about my free drinks. Also when asked about room upgrade as part of VIP membership they told me they would look into it and never executed. Lastly the room was to have daily cleaning (service) and this was never done. Overall very disappointing!

Selina’s in La Fortuna is amazing! I had a single room with a great view of Arenal Volcano. I slept like a baby in the comfortable bed! My only tiny issue was how dark the lighting in the bathroom was. Overall I had a fantastic time and made new friends!

Amazing place, close to the town and such kind people working and staying there too

Great location, space for parking, comfortable room but pretty noisy and the floor was filthy and sticky. Made the mistake of wiping it with the white bath mat and it really wasn’t white anymore after that. The lighting looked cool but rather dark, which could be improved.

Great hostel.

Nice place to meet people

Nice and clean hotel, good value for money for the region

Selina was nice, however a little more expensive than I think it was worth. I felt that the staff were a little disorganized. They were very friendly though and I appreciated the help I got with bringing my bags to and from my room! The breakfast was alright, however I think could use a little more flavor! I didn'y use the pool. It was a nice size though and the parties there were fun. I didn'y spend much time on the property during my 3 nights there. I was in a room with my own bathroom. The whole room was nice and a good size. The bed wasn't as comfortable as I would like and the pillows were also not great for my neck! Overall a great place, I just think maybe they should charge a little less for the type of room I booked.

The explanation of the place's services is not given. Just a key. I did not know that I deserved breakfast and not on all the activities

As beautiful as the property is, our stay was somewhat disappointing. To start off, masks are not enforced at all here, most of the staff did not wear masks when near guests. Fine. We got a teepee room which was advertised with A/C. The teepee has little to no room for yourself, let alone luggage and has a fan, but no A/C, which is sweltering, especially if you are with another person. Everyday, the river near by begins to smell like feces, which infiltrates the teepee making it completely suffocating. Luckily, we voiced our concerns and they moved us to a deluxe room which was great. Upon a few hours in our new room, a front desk staff member (not a maid) opened our door and saw me naked. Don’t know why he was coming into our room, or why he did not knock. At the restaurant, the food was very inconsistent. I didn’t like my frozen banana bowl because it was warm and soupy. I asked for oatmeal instead, but they just brought me back a cold soupy banana bowl. I scheduled a spa day 2 days in advance. When I checked in to my appointment, it seemed as though they forgot they scheduled me. They called the masseuse because she was not on the premises, which led to my appointment being pushed to half an hour later. The masseuses was very nice and my massage was great. It seems as though the front desk functions off of personal laptops. To end things on a good note, the premises are nice. the tourist desk girl was very helpful and they offer fair prices. Maybe never again.

Great staff, location. Teepee room was adorable, comfortable & clean. The property has a fun, local character. Staff made it easy to book excursions. I met great people. I saw a toucan in the tree above my teepee. That was amazing!

Amazing space with a great gathering area & happy hour! Our deluxe room had amazing artwork & was very thoughtfully decorated. The staff was super nice & I very much enjoyed my time in La Fortuna

Our stay at Selina was amazing! We liked it so much we ended up extending our stay several nights. We had a private room that was very cute and clean. Amenity spaces were great. Luis at the front desk was always available to help and very accommodating. Also a good place to stay if you want to meet other travelers.

Como siempre un excelente servicio y lugar, muy buen ambiente

Modern, funky, fun place to stay. Comfortable bed and pillows. We stayed in the deluxe room, a little more spacious and private. They seem to have a lot of options for travelers of all budgets, hostel type rooms and camping. If I was a young backpacker on a budget the shared bathrooms and kitchen areas looked really nice. Many nice lounge areas and pool. Pretty quiet too. Close to the center of town, so very walkable to eateries and shopping.

Extremely expensive. The tent is super tiny and cost around $150 per night. The picture is fake.

A great place to meet fellow travelers. Perfect fit for young and middle age travelers

This is a hostel, not a hotel so make sure your aware of that before booking. In our experience people were very loud and constantly slamming doors in the hallway. The towels have orange/brown stains supposedly because other guest take them to the springs. If this is the case then it’s not the hotels fault. The staff is very nice except for the guys at the front desk at night, not friendly, not welcoming and not helpful (don’t have their names) The rooms are ok and kind of small. The common area feels dirty and it’s always crowded, so if you are there to meet people it’s a good thing. The location is great.

Great location and views. The single room in this Selina was ok by hostel standards but not as nice as the one in La Fortuna.

We came for a few days while visiting the area. I didn't realize it was going to be so quiet. We thought it might be a bit rowdier but it was good for what we needed. Big focus on working remote and tourism. I would go back for a weekend for sure.

I had a private room, it was clean and comfortable. Overall place is clean and beautiful. However, my room was in between a shared bathroom and a dorm, meaning it was always very busy and noisy. Also the swinging chairs in front of my room make the most horrible sound, especially when drunk people just hang out there late at night... Restaurant on site is good but reaaaaaally pricey, especially at night. A simple nachos was 5500 colones...

This was the first time my boyfriend and I stayed on a hostel and we loved it. We spent two nights in a tepee and it was great. The staff is very friendly and the food is amazing. It is budget friendly and delicious.
