We heard about this place from everyone throughout our travels and decided to give it a try. Pagalu is beautiful and very clean. The cooking utensils are awesome, which is key in a hostel. The rooms are clean and very nice. Probably one of the nicest hostels I have seen throughout Central America. The owner is the nicest guy ever... More

This is a lovely, clean place in a slightly quieter section of town. The people who run it are very sweet. It has a great kitchen with lots of light. Still, it´s close enough to the main drag that you won´t feel left out. Good price, too! I highly recommend it, especially if you don´t feel like being totally absorbed... More

Perfect Hostel!!!! Very very very nice people, very clean rooms, big kitchen <3!!!! Good Price! The best hostel I ve ever been. I really deeply recommend to backpackers who go to puerto viejo to stay in this place. You ve a good location close to all bars and clubs. It is easy to rent bikes close by for going to... More

The title says it all really. I apologise to Mike, the owner, that this is slightly delayed. My boyfriend and I spent about 5 nights in this fantastic hostel in October 2011. Costa Rica was our first stop in our 6 month trip, and 4/5 months down the line and a few different continents later, I can say that this... More

Stayed here for a almost a week in February. This is the best Hostel I've ever been too, and I've traveled a lot. The place is beautiful, very clean, spacious and a great value. Wifi is great, and computers are available if you don't have a laptop. Crowd is friendly and mature. Kitchen and lounge area are cozy and comfortable.... More

I will join the chorus praising this extremely well run hostel. My stay was brief, but I appreciated the well stocked kitchen, good wifi and clean and comfortable dorm with a great locker system. I arrived early, and my bags were stored securely until a bed opened up. I got good advice about a place to rent a bicycle and... More

Super clean, big rooms, big lockers (could fit my big 80l. backpack in it with out removing any thing) superb kitchen, really nice staff and price you cant beat (11 dollars per night in 4 bed dorm). Beds are super comfy by the way. In the "living room" they got several different games you can borrow and the place is... More

Colorful new hostel with friendly owner in Puerto Viejo. We had a nicely decorated double room with a huge bathroom, all very clean. Good communal areas and cooking facilities. They really need to repair the mosquito nets in the windows though. Fair prices. More

I read all the great reviews and I have to say it really is a great hostel. It's not a crazy party hostel but that's not to say people don't hang and have fun. Each person gets a great full size space in the room which easily fit my full size travel backpack and smaller backpack. It's right in town,... More
