I was excited for this hostel based upon all the rave reviews it received on hostelworld and tripadvisor. However this ended up being one of my least favorite hostels while staying in Costa Rica and that was the general consensus from our group as well. The main common area/lodge just did not feel very clean-the table was sticky, the floor... More

Spent a night in this really peaceful and green hostel 3 km outside PJ, last month. Brain and Kyle, the owners are very friendly and helpful. They also seem to know and care about what goes on around them and in Costa Rica in general. They are working hard to make this new hostel a self-sufficient place. I really enjoyed... More

Overlooking the jungle with so many awesome animals in the trees like toucans and monkeys. The rooms are in... More

This place is an amazing hostel. The environment was beautiful, charming.... The owners of the hostel are very kind and the dinners they prepare there are simply excelent. You sleep in the middle of the jungle and what you will find in this is place is paradise. For sure, I will come back some day to this place.

This is really an amazing hostel. You get the ultimate junglefeeling with all the naturesounds around you and you still have a nice bed and a great kitchen. The vibe is very good and it's easy to meet new people in the nice open kitchen and hangout place. There's a trail in the 'garden' leading to a small creek and... More

This must havebeen the most relaxing spot in the 4 months we are travelling. The guys who own and manage it respondee to all my questions by email which made getting there a piece of cake. The rooms are great since you sleep under a mosquito net in the jungle. Of course there are bugs but that is completely normal.... More

This place is surrounded by great nature! I highly recommend... More
