For me it was perfect, very good location and suprisingly calm and silent in the evening. The staff went above and beyond to clean the common areas, also the room was cleaned daily. Very nice common area and kitchen, easy to meet new people if you want. They also provide free coffee in the morning and filtered water.

The room was well set up; the bed was comfortable, the 2 fans were great and having a mini fridge in the room was very handy. We loved that there were sloths and agouti around the hostel. We also loved Tequila, one of the cats who was super friendly. He brightened our days!

Best hostel in Puerto Viejo! Had an amazing stay once again. I keep coming back here. The staff is amazing, always willing to help or just chat with you. It has everything you need and is located in between town and cocles beach. Both are walking distance which is really nice. Recommend anyone to stay here!
