Cascada Verde

Hostel Cascada Verde is the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Costa Rica. The host is very friendly and welcoming. The place has plenty of nice common areas, everything is spotless including the kitchen and very well taken care of, with lots of small details that make your stay more comfortable and cozy. It has a laid-back backpacker style with a good atmosphere that we absolutely loved. You’re surrounded by jungle and the only sounds you hear are birds and animals. The views are stunning and I highly recommend it.

Super cool place, really clean, especially for a basically outdoor hostel. Such a cool and beautiful design in an amazing peaceful corner tucked into the jungle. Great kitchen that comfortably fit at least a few different groups cooking at the same time. Would absolutely come back!

The reason why I did not review Cascada Verde despite having visited several times is that I did not know where to start raving. The owners as well as the employees are absolutely welcoming, accommodating, and personally interested in each of their guests. The atmosphere is very warm (literally) and friendly. The big open space kitchen is fun to cook in, the view is calming and stunning at the same time. There is lots to do in the area, nature and adventure based activities, amazing restaurants, jungle and beach flair. There are a multitude of rooms to choose from, budget friendly, family style, whatever you are looking for. Breakfast choices are all delicious and available for a very fair price. Additional services are offered like yoga and massage. Excellent experience all around but the most astonishing thing is the fact that the napkinholders are refilled constantly. Restaurant service in a hostel kitchen - does it get any better than that? Only downside: People who are not researching what they are booking and actually want a different experience (party hostel, luxury lodge…) and then complain about it. Will I go back? Yes - again and again!

Such a wonderful bungalow with so much personality and charm. Peaceful setting with the amount of attention to detail and care they put into piecing together the vibe being extremely evident. Julie the host is the sweetest, the staff is very welcoming and kind.

The jungle view is great and beds are OK. Workers were extremely hostile and rude to us, didn't let us just hang around for 15 minutes around the hostel after check-out time while waiting for a friend. Also extra services cost way more than what you can find in town. For example laundery cost 6$ per kilo while you can find good laundry service for just 3$ at town.

A great place to stay. It's in the middle of the jungle and you can see monkeys in the trees from the common area. The common area has a fully equipped kitchen, a bunch of relaxing hammocks and games/books. Just be advised that it's in the middle of the jungle so you might see an occasional bug too. Every bed has a mosquito net and rooms are clean though. They offer breakfast in the morning. There's a surcharge for paying with a card so bring some cash if you want to save out. Laundry service is also possible for those who have been traveling for a while.

This place is magical and the owners are wonderful. Highly recommend if you want to get a feel for living in a tree house in the rainforest. Breakfast is also delicious!

This hostel offers the real Uvita experience, as it's right in the middle of the jungle. We saw all kinds of animals, as well as monkeys crossing the trees right next to the hostel's balcony (the place to do your daily yoga session). The kitchen is very spacious, with everything you need to cook your meals for the day. The staff were very kind, welcoming and understanding with us even though the place was full. We were also within walking distance of the magnificent Uvita waterfalls for a refreshing dip, where you can also go down a very accessible slide. We can't wait to go back!
