Great rooms, great location! Very homely and chilled out feel. The staff are fabulous and have great taste in music. It's also very clean. I would definitely return there.

My friend and I spent a total of 8 nights at this hostel across a 2 week stay and it was definitely our favourite by far! I couldn't quite appreciate how nice it was on the night I arrived as it was very late and dark but in the morning when I had time to explore I realised this hostel... More

Hands down, Tamarindo Backpackers is the best hostel I have ever stayed at. When I first showed up at Tamarindo Backpackers, I was immediately greeted by great staff, a great vibe with chill reggae sounds playing throughout the day, and the cleanest hostel I have ever seen.

A 5minute walk from the supermarket and the beach. It is clean, feels safe, has a nice pool and hammocks to relax in. Friendly staff and chillout music. A good option and only $10 per night!

The backpackers seems very new and clean from the outside and the general living areas. We booked a private double room and the single beds and linen inside were very old and dirty. The reception guy was also unable to help with anything we asked - taxis, booking other hostels and some other advice. Very mediocre hostel compared to others... More
