Hostels in Costa Rica

We stayed for 9 nights and absolutely had an awesome stay! the room was clean and AC worked perfectly. We really enjoyed the environment and sense of community that this hostel fosters as well as enjoying the privacy of a seperate room while staying there. The supermarkets are extremely close (2 to choose from within a 5 minute walk), the beach is super close, and the property is far enough off the main road that noise and dust aren't an issue. It was a pleasure staying here and would very stay again!

Ein schönes Hostel mit sauberen Zweibettzimmern, viel Natur und freundlichen Mitarbeitern.

Me encantó el lugar, la gente fue súper atenta y nos trató como si fuéramos parte de su familia. También era muy acogedor y la ubicación era excelente

Séjour exceptionnel!! Endroit tres bien aménager et tellement beau. Toute était tres propre et tel que photo! La vraie vie au milieu de la nature dans une ferme auto suffisante!! Nous avons adorer l’expérience avec nos quatre enfants. Les repas (avec léger supplement$) étaient délicieux!! Rencontrer des gens incroyables dans un atmosphère incroyable. De plus, quand la nature se réveil le matin, s’est magnifique a entendre. Le ruisseau, le paresseux qui vie sur le terrain avec son petit bébé, et les dizaines de oiseaux différents wow!!! Nous nous sommes senti chez nous et complètement dépaysé en meme temps. Merci pour ce séjour, nous recommandons 100%

We really had a great stay at Casa Aura. Would not hesitate to recommend to others looking for a very nice hostel, close to the beach, with beautiful surroundings and breakfast included. Great value for the money.

Great place definitely for the price you pay for it! The garden is beautifull and Andrew and his wife are both very kind and easy to talk too.

I wasn't going to post a review because I had a very few nits with the place that might have led me to give it less than five stars. There were basically only two regarding the place itself. The first was the lack of a lamp on the dresser next to the bed, which left the room lit by only the fan light in the ceiling and I found that to be a sadly lost opportunity for a warmer ambience. The other was that the floor in the shower was slippery and I had to be careful about not falling. I really didn't want to mention these things (I'm reviewing only because he reviewed me and I want to see what he wrote), as I told them to Manuel and I'm sure he'll correct both of them. In fact he said he had two lamps I could use, but it was already too late in the evening to bother. And I'm sure he'll put a mat in the shower. Everything else was fine, except there was confusion finding the place as several other reviewers have mentioned. I'll send him a better map. In general very highly recommended!

Cabinas Carol is a great hostel… Carol is quick to respond to messages. Carlos, Ismael and Carolina were always helpful whenever I needed something. Great spot very near the wave - walkable - close to the markets, restaurants and most importantly the point… been staying here mant times over the years and always have a good time. Definitely worth the price.

We loved carols so much. Our first time in pavones and was surprised at how great the location is. Easy walking to surf and everything you need is a short walk. The space is beautiful and everyone is friendly. We’ll be back!

Wir wurden sehr herzlich in Empfang genommen, haben uns off season in der Ruhe sehr wohl gefühlt und Carlos war jederzeit erreichbar. Pavones außerhalb der Saison ist wirklich beschaulich, ein Mietwagen ist nützlich, um flexibel nach Punta Banco zum Surfen zu fahren, wenn Pavones nicht läuft. Die Welle ist ansonsten direkt vor der Tür und gleichzeitig hat man im Hostel das Gefühl, mitten im Dschungel zu wohnen. Delfine, Wale, Papageien und Leguane inklusive… eine sehr schöne Auszeit!

A frente de las olas y tenía la mejor experiencia a cabinas Carol. Me sientí súper cómoda aquí y conocí muchs gente y amigos para siempre. Estoy agradecida para este lugar y toda gente adentro. Gracias Carlos 🫶💯 regresaré pronto

We loved our time in Pavones, and felt completely at home and welcomed into the community at Carols place. Perfect location and truly restful vibe. Will absolutely be back, thank you!!

Non so da dove iniziare. Sono una persona che viaggia molto, sempre da solo, non sono mai tornato nello stesso luogo per vedere più cose possibili. Ecco, Credo di aver lasciato un pezzo di cuore in questa struttura, tutti mi hanno accolto calorosamente, a partire da Luis, alle ragazze della reception, a Kathryn al bar, mi hanno fatto sentire uno di loro, non c'era neanche bisogno di uscire di li per incontrare persone perché riescono a coinvolgere tutti con eventi durante la sera. È anche un ottimo posto per trovare altre persone solitarie come me, dove si crea un legame enorme, come a me è successo. Ma, il più grande legame, l'ho creato con lo staff, non finirò mai di ringraziarli per come mi hanno fatto sentire. È l'unico posto dove tornerei, solo per loro. Sicuramente un giorno tornerò, e se non è per vacanza , lo sarò per farmi assumere come lavoratore e vivere con LA PURA VIDA. Grazie ragazzi, siete stati la mia famiglia per una settimana e nel mio cuore per sempre.

Excelente lugar, muy tranquilo, la piscina, excelente, muy amplia, buen campo para descansar.-

Muy buena opción de hospedaje para quien quiere disfrutar de la zona

Es war eine grossartige Zeit in Drake Bay und ich habe mich so wohl gefühlt, dass ich länger geblieben bin, als geplant. Für alle Fragen waren Henar und Pascal da und auch beim Buchen von Booten usw. Superfreundliche, grosszügige und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Das Zimmer war riesig, sauber und bequem, um die Klimaanlage war ich froh und die Hängematte vor der Tür habe ich genossen. Super fairer Preis.

We had a great stay at Diego’s place. He was super kind and helpful, and our dog was more than welcome, as Diego has a few dogs himself. The place was very clean and conveniently located close to the beach and local restaurants. Alejandra, together with her friend, helped take care of our son, for which we are very grateful. Diego and Alejandra are wonderful, family-oriented people. I 100% recommend staying at their place.

Highly recommend. Amazing hostel and loved the beds. Very private and large. Appreciate the big storage boxes. I really enjoyed my stay there for 3 weeks and met really great people. It’s not a party hostel which I also liked as it was quiet at night and easy to sleep. The only thing which can’t really be helped due to location is the noise of the street as there are a lot of loud bikes and vehicles in Santa Teresa. Staff were helpful and nice and they shared events happening as well. Very clean and great set up for cooking as well. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Se los súper recomiendo lugar tranquilo una amplia cocina

Minha experiência foi incrível na Casa Malibu! O local é exatamente como nas fotos, muito bem cuidado e super confortável. A comunicação com o Léo foi excelente, e o Spider foi muito atencioso e nos forneceu todas as informações necessárias para uma estadia tranquila, sempre disposto a nos ajudar. Com certeza voltaria a me hospedar aqui e recomendo a todos!

Had a great stay here, lovely peaceful location, close to the big grocery store and the gas station. Fairly reasonable pricing

The place is very well maintained. The bar and the restaurant are a real plus. Clean bedroom, quiet. The host is very friendly. I highly recommend!
