    I felt small room for 4 beds. We got 3 person in one and I felt that the air started to be not enough. I wouldn’t imagin with four, or if one stink or snore.

    Very clean.

    I think they should invest in bed fans because the big ceiling fan is not enough!

    Lots of cool birds around the property and even a resident crocodile (not near the housing)! It’s really close to the beach which is nice and there is a mini mart not that far from the property (5min walk) Supermercado is 20 ish min walk away but that’s uvita for you.

    The fridge could be bigger and big supermarkets are rather far away. But just become friends with someone with a car and do one big grocery shopping with them. There

    The location is perfect! You're close to the beach and that's always the main thing I'm looking for. The beds were comfortable, every dorm has it s own little terrace and all in all it's a super nice stay there! Nice vibe!

    The common area could do with better seating - both chairs and tables seem to be non-permanent solutions. Sometimes there came a sudden awful smell in the kitchen area (maybe from the organic waste basket?).

    Clean and modern rooms, with good bedspace and comfortable beds. Nice with sinks in the room! Friendly atmosphere and a nice garden to look at birds and lizards. Staff was nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

    It was my first time staying in a dormitory and it was a really great experience. This place is very chill, calm, relax and clean. The garden is amazing with so many birds to watch. The kitchen is good, enough bathroom and shower for everyone. The vibe is super chill, no party or anything. Its not in the center of uvita but more close to the beach. You can walk to the beach its a 10 minutes walk max. There is restaurant around and places you can book tour with or rental a bicycle like i did so i was able to look around the town. I cant recommend it more !!

    This place is just amazing, was the best hostel i stayed in Costa Rica. It was always Clean and you can see, the people who work there are enjoying it. The owner is really nice. The Open kitchen is perfect located, enjoy your breakfast and watch all the amazing birds and trees around you. I just loved it there and tbh did not wanna leave 😂. There are enough showers and toilets for everyone. The rooms have enough space, and every room has also a little Patio attached to it. It is also close to the beach.

    Breakfast was good (and cost effective for Costa Rica) but can be repetitive if you're staying longer term as there are only two options.

    The atmosphere is very welcoming and there is great social vibe but also a chill and relaxing space. The gardens are lovely and have a lot of wildlife. The hostel is in a great location, in a quiet part of Uvita only 10 minutes walk from the beach, next to a minimarket and with several great cafes and restaurants around.

    The outside area could be a bit updated. A sofa or something instead of the broken chairs could do wonders. Also the hammock's could be replaced. Also some hooks in the bathroom would be helpful.

    Very relaxing vibe and beautiful area. All the staff is very nice and everything was clean. The Mattress was also good. Very good value for the money.

    Beautiful host, she works day and night for you and will help you, cook, clean, serve food, book tours, show you around. They will also wax your legs if you're into that. 10 min walk to the beach, close to minimart.

    Access to the upper bunk is a bit difficult. The fan is directly above the upper bunks.

    Attached to my favorite restaurant in Uvita, about 0.8km away from the beach (Playa Chaman), nice garden, only dorms available. The beds are comfortable bunk beds. Staff is exceptionally nice!

    Only thing missing for me in the dorm were hooks to hang up clothes. But you can hang them outside.

    The outside area is amazing, such a beautiful garden! Everything was very clean, the staff was so nice and the dorms have everything you need, even a little terrace. I loved staying here!
