This place is highly recommended on my list! I backpacked Costa Rica for six weeks and this place was nothing but accommodating and relaxing. We were planning on staying in a cheap hostel but this hostel matched their rate and gave us a private room with a free welcome drink. It was a quiet atmosphere and in the center of... More

Hello, thanks for your comment, we remember your case which was very special. Unfortunately you never told our staff about it, when you tell us that your computer was stolen we cannot guaranteed that the computer was on your backpack because you never reported to us. Hostel Backpackers La Fortuna is one of the safest places to stay in La... More

We had a very nice stay at this totally new hostel. Helpful staff, great kitchen with coffee for free, lovely balconies and hammocks. The rooms were kept very clean and there was AC. You can use the pool at their other hostel, one block away. Location is very central, close to bus station and restaurants.

So there's like three or four different hostels in La Fortuna for backpackers that basically all have the same name. We showed up to this one thinking it was the one we had originally booked. It wasn't but they were so accomodating and nice that we decided to stay here instead. They even dropped their rates for us a little... More

Our room was really clean and they kept changing the towels? Kitchen was fairly well equipped. Garden was being added to with new shade gazebo/bar. You can access the pool a few doors away. Setting is not scenic as there is a builders suppliers next door which sometimes was noisy. Overall though it worked for a few nights.

Pretty decent hostel. The front desk person was very friendly and helpful. I spent only 1 day in La Fortuna and did rafting and jeep-boat-jeep tours on this day, and they helped me customize the tours so I could do both on the same day. They responded to my emails quickly and were helpful. By the way - the jeep-boat-jeep... More

I personally had a good experience in this hotel. My room was very spacious with a good and hot shower. However, some of my friends that were staying in another rooms did not have hot water. The ones that were on the second floor did not have any water. They complained in the front desk, but staff said they couldn't... More

Don’t get fooled by ‘Backpackers’ and ‘Hostel’ in name, this place could very well call itself Hotel or Motel. At least, that’s how we felt. We had a private room with bathroom which was better than many motels we have stayed in states. We were welcomed by receptionist Sonya who had sweet and friendly personality. She gave us short tour... More
