I've stayed in a lot of hostels during my travels over the last few years, and this one was probably my favorite. The view is amazing, the atmosphere is relaxed, the dorm mattresses are new, the dinners are tasty, Buzz the monkey is interesting (but will soon have it's own place in the back of the hostel, which i think...

We had a short visit at Casa de Olas. Unfortunately we lost our reservation due to an honest mistake. They were very nice about it and offered us dorm beds. But, we decided to go stay with a friend instead. We were told by many people that we had to check the place out. And they were right. The view... More

The Guesthose was really really nice. Very clean, very nice rooms, well decorated. It's a hotel but there are mostly budget couple-travellers and a few single travellers. There is a bar and a very nice pool, rooms are located around the pool. This means that it could be a bit loudy, but after 22 or 23 (don't remember, i'm sorry)... More

I stayed here for three nights in April, and loved every minute of my stay. The hosts are gracious and warm, and the rooms are an excellent value. On top of all of that, the hillside location is nothing short of beautiful. Will definitely return.

Casa de Olas is awesome! the owners and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. the food is delicious, rooms clean and comfortable, nice atmosphere, excellent happy hour, best view of the sunset, a cheeky little monkey to play with, an adorable cat, shuttles to the beaches, everything you need/want to is here. would recommend it 100%.

Just left Casa de Olas. Had a wonderful time. The staff and owners are friendly and helpful. My husband and I are already trying to figure out when we can return. Hostel is a little out of city but with shuttle and taxis, never a problem going into town. San Juan del sur is great little town by the sea.... More

As someone who has spent over 6 years traveling, staying mainly in hostels... Casa de olas is probably the best I have ever experienced. The food and rooms are top notch and very affordable but it's the atmosphere that makes this place so amazing. Do yourself a favour and pay a visit to Fred and Carla (and buzz!!) you won't... More

We booked for 2 nights and stayed for 4. Now I wished we had not left. It has a hostel feel, but has far more class. The owners and staff contribute to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. They know your name after a few hours and go out of their way to make sure you are having a good time.... More

This is truly the most amazing place I have ever stayed at. Fred and Carla treat everyone like family and they both hilarious! They spend time with the guests and the vibe here is very inviting! They have family style dinners at 730 and have a round bar that makes it so easy to talk to people. The infinity pool... More
