The kitchen was really dirty and there were ants everywhere.

I am sorry the kitchen was dirty. However, there are signs everywhere saying that it is the guests responsibility to keep the kitchen clean. We have the cleaning ladies clean the kitchen once a day. However when there are over 10 people using the kitchen, it will get dirty right away. this is why we have signs posted to clean up after yourselves. If there is food left out, yes it will attract ants. This is the tropics.

Good hostel in convenient location for seeing the west coast. My boyfriend and I stayed in the 2 bed dorm - 2 single beds, private bathroom, A/C, Wif and good security, everything we needed. Car park for our rental was also handy. Kitchen is very basic but manageable. Hostel is across the road from a supermarket. Bring insect repellent! Lots of Mosquitos in the common areas.

My only suggestion would be to be allowed to use the swimming pool a little later than 7p.m. being how the best beaches for surfing you need a car to get to from Rincon often guests may not return here until about 5ish in the evening or so. The common area is very big with a big kitchen dining room and living room.

Traveling on a tight budget the Rincon Inn is the place to be. There is a grocery store across the street, a beach two blocks away for swimming and snorkeling (there is a reef at this beach too!), plus a close drive to world class surfing. The staff and service they provided was amazing. Thanks for providing a comfortable and affordable place to stay!

Staff was very nice, there was a mistake in our reservation and they ended up giving it to us for free! Nice pool area, and AC was great, as well as kitchen facilities. Two thumbs up!

Rincon Inn is more rustic than the other hostels I stayed at in PR, but completely satisfactory. I felt very comfortable here. There\'s a large common area, kitchen, and balcony that overlooks the busy main drag. The inn is south of town and the main beaches, so if you don\'t have a car you won\'t be happy with the location. The kitchen lacks some of the things I expected (like dishes). None of those were dealbreakers for me, though. I met some REALLY cool people here and had a GREAT stay over all!

You gave the staff a D and you didn't even meet one person who works here. We left the keys out for you because you check in late and you leave before the office opens. you give the staff a D and didn't even meet one person on the staff.

Outstanding hostel, clean, quiet and comfortable. Nice pool area in the back with plenty of parking, you need to rent a car to get around to explore. Common area has a spacious kitchen, cable TV and outdoor patio/veranda area. Hotel/Hostel lobby has plenty of info on surrounding area: surfing, snorkeling and diving. There is a grocery store, bank and pharmacy all with walking distance. The Lucky 13 BBQ below the hostel serves tasty food and drinks, a great place to swap travel/surfing stories.

I've been to many hostels in a few countries and this is one of my favorites. comfortable clean beds, rooms have their own bathroom with shower and appear to be fairly new, nice pool out back, parking, new bar and restaurant The Lucky 13 gives it an extra star. Cool surfer vibe, people from all over stay here. other reviews wrote about mean dogs on Calle 14, completely false. I stayed in 2 bed and private room also. Great value and character. walking distance to bank, grocery, restaurants,bakery

VERY IMPORTANT: MANY GUESTS HAVE BEEN BIT BY DOGS ON CALLE 14. This is the road closest to the Inn that leads to the beach. About half way down the street, on the left. I get the impression that the management is trying to get the "Inn" to run its self. I think the building has huge potential but it needs to be attended to. Empty, moldy beer bottles on top of rusty appliances on the balcony, laminated policy signs falling off the walls, drains that wouldn't drain, no hot water.

Moldy beer bottles? I have no idea what you are talking about . You stayed with us for 1 night, on xmas day. Sorry if we were closed on xmas day but that is just how it is. So I am sorry if the fact that we were closed on xmas day gave you the impression that the inn is trying to run itself! You stayed with us for 1 night, what did you do spend your entire time looking for whats wrong instead af actually trying to get out and enjoy the area? We do have hot water and I am sorry if the sign that says please turn off the AC when leaving the room fell off the wall, what a deal breaker! Not one guest has ever said anything about being bit by a dog. I think you need to lighten up a little bit .

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry if the travelers staying in the hostel when you were here were not friendly but in all honesty that has nothing to do with us and doesn't mean that all the people who stay in the hostel are not friendly.
