The staff was absolutely amazing, friendly and helpful, they literally created a magic atmosphere in this place, they made my stay magic. I stayed almost a week instead of a single night! Very clean place, good facilities and the kitchen is complete. There’s free coffee in the morning.

I had the best time at the hostel. I intended to stay for 3 nights and ended up staying 10 days - i guess that says it all. Kiban and the volunteers are just amazing and they really make your stay unforgetable. Muchas gracias amigos <3 The kitchen in the hostel is really spacious and well equipped. The AC in the room is a lifesaver and there is plenty of space to put your things. The atmosphere in the hostel was great and when they finish their new commen chill area I am sure it will be even better. I will definitely come back!

Annie and her large number of sisters went out of her way to make us feel at home. Even accommodating us to stay an unplanned extra night in the same room. Everything was as shown on the site and the big washing lines for drying clothes were an extra bonus.

This is the best place to stay if you want to see the arribada of turtles! The starting point of the tours is just right across the street. Ostional is quite far to drive from other locations, it is advisable to drive there in daylight and stay in the village for a night. The house is basic but comfortable, the rooms have AC and stable wifi. The hosts were super kind depsite the language barrier.

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.

Perfect backpackers. Central location. Super friendly owner / staff. Best equipped kitchen of any hostel I've stayed in. Comfortable rooms. Lots of space outside rooms with tables and hammocks. Supermarket 2 mins away. Beach 2 mins away. We loved our stay here. Mum + 2 teens.
