Mega Lage , sauber , freundlich alles top Haben vor Ort verlängert Stand ist top Küche super ( Gemeinschaftsküche) Nur zum empfehlen, bei unserer Reise das günstigste Hostel in diesem Ort !

Die Lage direkt am Strand ist wunderbar. Ins Zentrum gelangt man mit einem Mietvelo oder Tuktuk, welches die Reception einem ruft. Evelyn und Alejandra von der Reception sind sehr sehr nett und helfen bei jedem noch so kleinen Anliegen. Die dritte im Bunde war sehr unsympathisch. Die Zimmer fand ich auch super, es gibt Ablagefläche und grosse abschliessbare Fächer für den Rucksack.

Puerto Viejo is one of the best areas in Costa Rica for surfing, chilling on the beach, and getting a great tan. The city also offers amazing hostel options, that promise a comfy bed, a chance to meet like-minded travelers and an affordable price for the night.

Selina is a great spot to spend your time in Puerto Viejo. For a lot of reasons, too. It’s the amazingly helpful staff (always very attentive), the clean, bright and airy dorm rooms, and some pretty sleek private rooms on offer that make this the best hostel in Puerto Viejo.

There’s tons more of amenities besides that though. You’ll find a swimming pool with a big outdoor area to chill out in and get to know everyone else staying here, and it’s even got a coworking space for all you remote workers out there. The beach, just steps away, is a favourite of snorkellers, surfers and beach bums alike who love this slice of paradise.

Playa 506 best hostels in Puerto Viejo

  • Beachfront Location

If you’re looking for somewhere that is definitively polished, we reckon Playa 506 is the choice for you. The private rooms here are fresh, with natural wood floors and high ceilings for just a hint of traditional flavoured luxury. The dorms are pretty dang nice too, to be fair.

Location? Well, it couldn’t be better: this top hostel with a private room in Puerto Viejo is right on the beach. Being situated here calls for cocktail lunches on the beach, catching some rays, and then more drinks at sunset. There’s even a buffet breakfast served up every morning and we’re all about that.

Best Party Hostel in Puerto Viejo – Lazy Loft

Lazy Loft best hostels in Puerto Viejo

  • Drinking Games

Set right on the beach itself, Lazy Loft is literally set right above one of the biggest, hard-partying bars in the area: the Lazy Mon Beach Bar. This means you’ll be basically in the action, with all the crazy drinks deals and dancing on the sand you could ever wish for.

This top party hostel in Puerto Viejo is the kind of place where you’re going to meet a ton of new people, get to sip on cocktails pretty much all night, and dance the night away to some awesome music (till 3am on the weekends). If you were thinking of getting any sleep… maybe consider booking somewhere else! This is for party people only.

Lazy Loft is one of our favourites in Puerto Viejo but they’re not taking guests right now. We’re not sure if they’re closed for good but we hope they’ll come back soon.

Best Hostel for Digital Nomads in Puerto Viejo – Hostel Kinkaju

Hostel Kinkaju best hostels in Puerto Viejo

Staying at Hostel Kinkaju means you get somewhere super chill to get some work done; it’s got a low-key, welcoming atmosphere meaning you’ll be able to just slot right in. It may not have the most polished interiors, but what it does have is good feels and views of nature.

There’s nothing quite like being able to get in the zone with a bit of work to a jungle backdrop – or typing a few emails from the ultimate chill of a hammock. We’re definitely into this Puerto Viejo backpackers hostel. As a bonus, the owners are a mellow bunch you’ll inspire you to relax after some intense typing.

For inspiration on what to do after you finish work, check out this article on the best things to do in Puerto Viejo.

Hostel Kinkaju is one of our favourites in Puerto Viejo but they’re not taking guests right now. We’re not sure if they’re closed for good but we hope they’ll come back soon.

Active Roots Security Belt

Stash your cash safely with this money belt. It will keep your valuables safely concealed, no matter where you go.

It looks exactly like a normal belt  except for a SECRET interior pocket perfectly designed to hide a wad of cash, a passport photocopy or anything else you may wish to hide. Never get caught with your pants down again! (Unless you want to…)

  • Communal Kitchen

As you might be able to tell from the name, this is a small hostel with a friendly vibe. Decorated with tons of bamboo and other natural fabrics, and with great music being played and nice people to chat to, it’s got to be one of the coolest hostels in Puerto Viejo. There’s even a cafe to chill in!

The location, just tucked away from the main street, gives you the best of both worlds: quiet, but close enough to all the madness you could desire. Everything here is very clean and well looked after, the owners are friendly, and the communal kitchen here is handy to cook up a few snacks to keep costs low.

The Lion Fish Hostel

The Lion Fish Hostel best hostels in Puerto Viejo

Another hostel located in the centre of town, this one is particularly good because it’s literally just 150 metres to the bus stop. Great for onward journeys – or for arriving. It’s never fun to traipse around a new town with your backpack, nope, not at all.

It’s not just about the location though. One of the best perks about this top hostel in Puerto Viejo is being able to wake up to a fresh cup of free coffee: a great wake up call. You can enjoy movie nights, rustle up a meal for yourself in the kitchen, or simply kick back in the garden and laze away your days. It’s a great spot for that kind of thing.

Oh, and it’s got a bar – which is always fun!

Pants, socks, underwear, soap?! Take it from us, packing for a hostel stay is not always quite as straight forward as it seems. Working out what to bring and what to leave at home is an art we have perfected over many years.

Earplugs

Snoring dorm-mates can ruin your nights rest and seriously damage the hostel experience. This is why I always travel with a pack of decent ear plugs.

nomatic_laundry_bag

Hanging Laundry Bag

Trust us, this is an absolute game changer. Super compact, a hanging mesh laundry bag stops your dirty clothes from stinking, you don’t know how much you need one of these… so just get it, thank us later.

Hostel towels are scummy and take forever to dry. Microfibre towels dry quickly, are compact, lightweight, and can be used as a blanket or yoga mat if need be.

You can’t get much better of a beach vacay spot than Puerto Viejo. With mass tourism not properly arrived yet, and still a destination with more backpacker vibes than tourist traps, it’s a super chill and relaxing spot… where you can party if you want.

There’s definitely nightlife going on at Puerto Viejo. But if you’re not a party animal, don’t worry about it. There’s some prime surfing to be done here, amazing marine life just off shore, and plenty to explore inland as well. Or just swing in a hammock in a jungle garden all day!

We totally get it if there’s still too much choice on offer for you, so we’ll make it easier and narrow it down for you. For the best overall hostel in Puerto Viejo, with a balance of location, vibe and everything else, Selina Puerto Viejo is number one in this town.

Now all you need to do is pack a swimsuit, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent: Puerto Viejo awaits!

"The time in the Eco Travel Hostel was an extremely special time in my life. Not only could I grow and learn a lot personally, I really felt that the work was meaningful and needed. Beate, Federico, and the rest of the staff make you feel like home and welcome you with open hearts. I did not want to go home and for sure will come back sooner or later."

from Germany

“Eco Travel Hostel is wonderful. The house, of course, but also Beate and Federico and all the wonderful people I met here. Staying here never gets old and it really taught me about being conscious about my impact. Learning to use less water, watch my waste, use less plastic, and composting food. It’s not just a hostel, it’s a lifestyle.”

aisha fb.jpg

"Puerto Viejo is breathtaking! Living at the Eco Travel Hostel gave me many opportunities to meet people from around the world, take part in dance and yoga sessions, learn Spanish and also how to surf! My time in Puerto Viejo truly allowed me to explore, experience and indulge in the local life so much so, that I didn’t want to leave!"
