I went to San Juan del Sur with friends and stayed at Yajure for one night. It was a really nice experience: the location is beeeautiful, the rooms were clean and the hosts were super friendly. My friends and I had a great time, and Chely was very helpful in arranging a trip to a nearby beach for us. I... More

Me and my friends stayed here and we had pretty bad experience. Hostel itself is nice, has a swimming pool and it's pretty spacious. Dorms are ok too. Hostel is located at the end of the street and it's about 10 minutes walk to town. Problem here is that section of the street is dark and people frequently get robbed... More

Chely was super friendly from the word go. He introduces himself personally to every visitor and always checks that you're doing ok. The entire hostel including bathrooms is cleaned reguarly throughout the day. The kitchen is massive. Feel completely safe here and its nice to be a 5 minute walk from centre of town. Everybody is super friendly and a... More

I flew into the airport in Liberia, costa Rica and made my way up to San Juan del Sur looking forward to a hot shower and a nice bed. It was dark when i arrived and the herbal smoke that rolled across the patio was thick. I had made a reservation and sent a deposit, just needed to check in.... More

How can you complain when the first step you take outside in the morning is right onto the sand? We checked into Yajure with intentions of staying only a night or so. We had to extend our stay because we just love this hostel and love Chely. He is awesome, friendly, welcoming, and pretty darn hilarious. He has an exuberant... More

I stayed here back in August of last year with six of my girlfriends after staying in two different hostels in San Juan Del Sur before hearing about Yajure by word of mouth. Hanging out by the pool was amazing...there is so much room so nothing feels cramped. The hostel is right on the beach so there is always a... More

Planned on 4 days, stayed 3 weeks. Best atmosphere of any hostel I've stayed at. Always a great crowd, social atmosphere, great common area outside. You can buy beer there or bring your own, Ping pong table, tv room, clean swimming pool, right on the beach, hammocks to chill out in all day under palm trees. Can't beat this place

My boyfriend and I stayed here at the tail end of Semana Santa and loved being away from the craziness of the town. The hostel is very clean and Chely, the owner, is extremely nice-- he handed us cold beers the second we got there-- and very helpful, offering us advice and surf lessons during our stay.
