Felt ripped off having to pay $15/night for a bed in a 12 person dorm because it was Semana Santa. Even the regular price of 10 seemed too much for this hostel. The fans in the dorm didn't have covers so I feared cutting myself if I accidently walked to close to one. The kitchen was small and dirty and there was a cat that would walk across the counter at leisure. The worst hostel I stayed in Costa Rica.

For the same price, it's possible booking a better hostel looking for it in site.

I must admit I wasn\'t expecting much for $10/night especially after some of the other reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did the owner speak English very well, but she was very pleasant. I stayed in the dorm room which was cleaned daily even when I was the only one there. There were two full bathrooms- one with access to 2 sinks, toilet and shower separately so if the dorm was full you would be able to do what you needed to without much wait. The house was locked up fairly early (but I had a

This hostel's location is perfect - you walk through the back garden and there's the beach right there. I also loved the jungly atmosphere (there's a tree painted in rasta colours too!). However, the bathroom smelt of damp and mould and my sheets didn't smell much better. The staff were friendly but didn't speak any English at all (slightly surprising since this was the Caribbean Coast), which made it very difficult to book anything through them. Peaceful but a little TOO quiet maybe.
