Great hostel! The location is perfect and they have good bike rentals. I loved being walking distance to both the town and beach. The rooms are comfortable. Fortunately it’s close enough to the ocean that it cools down well at night.

Loved our stay at this hostel, we had an apartment with our very own kitchen. The staff and volunteers were so friendly. It is not a party hostel but has a really cool and friendly vibe with a designated area where you can stay up late and socialise.

Best hostel in Puerto Viejo. I planned to stay one night and ended up staying 4! Only left for a cheaper place but this hostel gave me great energy. Everyone I spoke to had a good vibe to them. Met travellers and even went for a drink with them one day!! The facilities are well maintained. There’s hot water and the kitchen is so so so nice and spacious. Loved the hammocks too. Pura vida

Do not stay here, the private rooms are boiling hot and only separated by nets so you will get shushed for talking and have no privacy at all. Right by the road so you will wake up at 6am to motorists. Rude owner charged us 100$+ for cancelling despite how disappointed we were with the room. So many other alternative to choose from.

Can definitely recommend La Ruka Hostel. Friendly staff and clean rooms. It‘s not directly located in the center, which creates a relaxed and quiet atmosphere. It‘s possible to rent bikes for a good price and you can reach the center of Puerto Viejo in less than 5 minutes.

Close enough to everything but far enough that you can still enjoy some quiet time! Such a wonderful hostel with everything you need - the bike rentals and yoga shala (w/ workout equipment too!) are wonderful. The people are wonderful and the energy here is good! My favorite hostel I’ve stayed at in Central America!

BEAUTIFUL PLACE, there are so many cool hang out spots to relax or socialize. Not a party hostel by any means but has a very chill social vibe. The kitchen and bananas are great and Armando was the best receptionist ever🙏🙏
