The room excited my expectations, it was big, clean and the bed was comfortable. I found it nicer than the pictures. The common areas were very nice and the kitchen was great (probably the best kitchen I've had at a hostel). As a solo traveller I found it easy to meet people at the hostel. There's a big supermarket just across the street and an even bigger one just a few minutes away. It is not on the main street, so it's very calm and quiet at night, but it is close enough so you don't feel uncomfortable walking back in the dark, however would always recommend walking with someone if you can. It is close to restaurants, stores, busstation and the beach.

The property is located outside the busy and noisy centre of town in an oasis of peace and rest. The views of the sea, and the plants, trees and animals all around are magic! ✨ saw a sloth right opposite the gate of Svastha and Tucana fly around the yoga Shala!

Rihanny at the front desk is a total star. Calm, pleasant, warm and helpful she made our stay exceptional. The hostel was a joy, wonderful grounds with a resident sloth (Raoul), a number of agouti and most wonderful...the red straberry dart frogs. There are flowers at every corner and the trees and lush vegetation add ambiance and privacy. They have a good system for food storage in the shared kitchen and a nice little pool area.

The hostel is the perfect mix of comfort and outdoor lifestyle setting. Providing clean rooms with comfortable beds, while the outdoor kitchen and hangout areas make you feel one with nature. Super relaxing stay. The staff and owner were very welcoming and accomodating. Location was fantastic, we walked to both Puero Viejo and Punta Uva - we love walking. Otherwise, you could hire a bike, scooter or TukTuk if you prefer.. The beach is only down the road so easy to pop to the beach.

Best hostel in Puerto Viejo! Had an amazing stay once again. I keep coming back here. The staff is amazing, always willing to help or just chat with you. It has everything you need and is located in between town and cocles beach. Both are walking distance which is really nice. Recommend anyone to stay here!
