Our kitchen area of the apartment was missing a window so we had many mosquitos in the room. Stayed at other Selina Hotels and this was certainly not one of the better ones ##### Rhiannon Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Freth Sep 5, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities It is gampling for 150 dollars.. it doesnt value the cost. Good service but the room is too old, bed is no longer usable it needs to be changed, it is impossible to sleep well here. It is a 20 dollars room from my experience. ##### Freth Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Oct 28, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I wasn’t planning on even leaving a review because I think this place caters to a certain demographic and for that demographic it is maybe a cool happening place. Here’s what I didn’t like: 1. The RUDEST staff. Everyone in puerto viejo was so kind and welcoming. I feel like they actively had to search for the rudest most unwelcoming people they could find. 2. Forget about trying to find this place in the dark. There’s a tiny tiny sign that says Selina which is not very lit at night. When I called the front desk for help they were wildly unhelpful then the security guard was also unhelpful when trying to figure out where to park when the gates were both locked. 3. I had a private room. It was FULL of mold and pretty gross. The toilet leaked from the bottom all over the bathroom floor and constantly smelled like poop. 4. I was feeling sick and asked the bar to SELL me a cup of ice, I offered to pay and did not ask for it for free. They would not SELL me a cup of ice (honestly should have been free but ok, I get it I’ll pay if that’s a policy). THEY WOULD NOT SELL ME A CUP OF ICE WHEN I FELT SICK AND JUST WANTED ICE WATER. That was really the straw that broke the camels back. They bartender went over to the “boss” likely the manager or owner to ask and he just said no. What an abysmal policy.

However the kitchenette was in need of repairs and the dishes and utensils were dirty with dried out food and housekeeping was unreliable. ##### A.

For that little bit extra per night compared to other hostels in the area you really do get a luxurious hostel which offers a lot of activities for the guests and a very high quality of service from the staff! When i arrived there was a problem with my reservation and instead of not letting me stay they upgraded me to a private room at no extra charge! I made a last minute decision to extend my stay for 2 nights and they were very accomodating and gave me another private room! The rooms i stayed in were always spotless and i ate in the hostel nearly every day due to the high quality of the food! ##### Sean Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ziv Dec 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good place The place is tidy and inviting.

Selina is the place to be if you wanna make friends and have fun. It is located a few minutes from Playa Cocles the most popular in Puerto Viejo. Staff is very friendly and the place has all kind of activities to make your day entertain or relaxing as you wish. The property is big and with beach access. Rooms have all type of options from shared dorms till private king. There’s a common kitchen where you can cook yourself and fridge storage or the restaurant has a full day service if you rather don’t cook. So you can choose what type of experience you want to have, knowing that is a priority for the chain to relate within guest as weekend parties are big event in the area. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B4E4F9059B0D609511642EB89E4E12F2B9AFF2361639241650175.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Veronica Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andrew Oct 19, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities For the price this property is disappointing.
