Summary of traveller reviews

Casa Wolaba in Puerto Viejo is a highly social hostel, perfect for solo travellers looking to meet new people. Guests praise the friendly staff, well-equipped kitchen, and the daily organised activities. The location is great, close to amenities and the beach. Some recent reviews mention that the dorm rooms can be quite small and cramped.

Basic hostel! I only stayed a night and was fine. Sister hostel pool is a great feature. Room was tiny with barely anywhere to put my bag

Wifi doesn't reach the rooms upstairs. Beds make a lot of noise when someone moves. Everything else was good.

I enjoyed my stay at Casa Wolaba! I enjoyed having access to the partner hostel’s pool and loved the hammocks. Guests kept to themselves more than I was expecting and it wasn’t quite as social as I thought, however, that could be because it’s low season. Staff and volunteers were very cliquey, often hanging out as one large group instead of inviting guests to join and participate in conversations and activities. They were not very welcoming or inclusive as I have experienced at other hostels.
