I love this hostel if I were to go back to Tamarindo I will definitely be going back! The staff were amazing and super friendly (shoutout to Lucas!) It felt like family and was a great place to socialize and hang out with other people staying at the hostel. They have plenty of rooms and bathrooms and a big kitchen to cook. It’s cleaned throughout the day and is kept very nice. Highly recommend! ##### Gregory ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diego Apr 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Diego Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RONALD Dec 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super friendly and accommodating staff.
