Place genuinely feels like home - really cozy environment and very hospitable hosts. Felt very welcomed.
Plus, location is perfect because it’s close to the airport (which is a big differential given the amount I’d have spent on taxi if I had stayed at another hostel in San Jose’s city center)… and the area is really chill, with a beautiful view of the mountains and good restaurants.
Definitely staying there again anytime I find myself in San Jose in the future.

Great place for families with kids. We even got invited to the dinner with Juan - the owner of the property, and his wonderful wife and friends. Plus we also got a free excursion in the sorrounding garden where Juan grows mangos, avocados, blackberries and meny other fruits. Absolutely recommend.

The (single) rooms are spacious with air con and a terrace, there's a pool and poolside bar, and it sort of feels like you're staying in a tropical villa with all the plants and fountains! Jenny at the tour office by reception was helpful to book tours with, and everything is walkable (including El Salto natural pools).

The hostel is situated in a quiet area, but 2 minute walk from the 'center of town'. The vibe is very relaxed, with a garden and terraces where you can sit and meet other travelers. Dorms are relatively small, but all have their own bathroom and there is plenty of room for everyone because you are out and about during the day anyway. The kitchen is big and well-equiped. At 10:30 p.m., lights and music go out, so the peace and quiet is well guarded. Staff is very friendly. The hostel offers very good and very affordable tours through RedLava Tours, but you can also explore the area yourself with an Uber. La Fortuna is lively, with plenty of bars and soda's but still it has a relaxed vibe. La Fortuna is a great hub for exploring the Arenal volcano, rainforest and hotsprings, so I recommend spending at least 3 nights.

Wish more places worked like this. Totally recommend.

He gave lots of great recommendations for several activities and does not want to sell tours like lots of others. Just perfect!!! This made our trip perfect and I highly recommend the hostel for everyone who goes to La Fortuna. The rooms were clean and we had a nice balkony to sit outside. It is a great hostel to get to know others.

Excellent value for money. Great location. Close to a supermarket, which was good to utilise the kitchen. Esteban was very friendly, helpful and responsive. He organised a shuttle to Monteverde for us that was cheaper than anywhere else we could find. I even got an invite to go and play Soccer with his local friends.
We loved everything about this hotel. In particular I liked that it was all pedestrianised so the kids could wander about safely. It was great to have hot springs and a pool onsite, plus plenty of wildlife including a sloth mum and baby, lizards and loads of birds. The location was really convenient and we could easily order Ubers to transport us around La Fortuna cheaply. The view of the volcano from our porch was spectacular.
Great location, very safe and quiet, Yoga corner, free tea and coffee in the morning, the owner is just a super nice person and helped me with every little question / concern! Will come again!
Great staff. Lovely rooftop deck and lower deck with chairs and hammocks to relax. We never felt unsafe. The location was good, just a few minute walk from all the action, it was nice to be in a little quieter spot to sleep. Lots of Hostel-run excursions for reasonable prices. Good value.
Really great is a hostel-Whatsapp group that you join by scanning the QR code at the reception. It enable to post plans and ideas to go out, and then share Uber cost for instance to the parks or to anywhere. Really good idea. Very much appreciated also, the individual curtains on bunk bed. Really nice for added comfort and privacy.
I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!
Great location for airport travel with some great local restaurants close by. Safe and quiet area. Great hostel owner, Katty helps with everything including very fair taxi rides to the airport. would highly recommend for anyone coming to or from San Jose airport for a night. Just one more is make sure you have either dollars or cash but there is also an atm close by.
