This was genuinely the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful. The restaurant next door was some of the best food we had in the whole trip. We had a fridge, small kitchen, private bathroom, and nice clean beds which were cleaned each day. Special shoutout to Sandra who graciously helped get my wallet back to me which I left under the pillow. I had already left on the boats when I realized and she was able to send it with a different boat to the La povona port.

I did enjoy my stay in Tortuguero. The room is really nice but I don‘t understand the situation with the kitchen split up in 3 parts (Room, balcony and the actual kitchen). Not really a social Hostel cause there is not that big of a social space. Still nice though

A very nice hostel, located in the middle of the town. Clean, spacious rooms and a nice restaurant as well. Loved the overall vibe!
