Really underrated - and cheap for what it is. People were really nice, it was clean and new, you have your own privacy if you want it and social spaces are very great. +1 for the guitar!

This hostel surprised me. Everything is very clean and organized. At the reception, they explained how to get to my next destination by public bus, the best activities to do in Fortuna, and I booked a full-day tour with them for the only day I was staying in La Fortuna. Everything was perfect. I recommend it, it’s a great place to stay.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Blackout Hostel. Most notably, the location and the staff/people. Just a couple minutes walk to the city center with nice restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Also about 10-15 minutes walk to this spectacular waterfall where everyone goes to jump off the rocks and swing from the Tarzan rope. Tony, the owner, was so kind and welcoming. We spent every night chatting in the main room with the other guests and even went out all together at the club next door. If you're looking for a fun time focused on experiences, this is the place to be.

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.

I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
