The verandah above our room was a tucked away sanctuary with a lovely breeze that we enjoyed whiling away some time on watching the world go by. Staff were helpful and the tours we did fun. Particularly Andreas night tour. He was so informative and excited by nature.

The owner is exceptionally kind and patient :). She supported us to get our ride back to the mainland and organised a good guided trip. But where she went above and beyond was preparing a special thing for a special event and also helping me find my phone which I had lost somewhere in the village. It’s definitely somewhere I would consider going back to. It is clearly not high end accommodation but it is extremely clean and the rooms have great air conditioning. For the price it is unbeatable. We also saw a humming bird while there and a few frogs. It is a lovely place to just be and relax.

Everything. The owner and her family are all nice, especially her girl. The cats are so cute as well. The location is perfect which is near the main street and beach, while is quiet at night. The host provided us some many useful information about the transportation and tours.

Lovely colourful place with free water, coffee and tea. Lovely and helpful staff and a nice little chill out area. Located near the beach and the park entrance but a bit outside the main road, which was just perfect for us.

This was a fun visit. I loved feeling like I was on an island. There weren't any cars. It was easy to walk to the park and plenty of restaurants to choose from. We ate at the Patio too. The food was amazing. We had a great stay. We did take a canoe tour through the National Forest area and saw lots of animals, birds, etc. The turtle sanctuary was interesting. I would love to see the turtle run--usually in June. I liked where the Patio is located right on the dock where we were taken and picked up by water taxi.

All hostels in Tortuguero

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location on the side of the football pitch, 2 minutes from the beach and 2 minutes from the dock. Welcoming and friendly, kids loved relaxing in the hammock and the hostel run canoe trip

    This is a hostel and we had private room with ensuite. It's basic, as expected. You can use a well equipped kitchen, great if you are on a budget. It's right in Tortuguero close to many restaurants and mini market. There's a garden to relax in and a veranda with hammock. Very quiet at night. You can book tours which were great, we did canals in canoe, day walk and night walk (highlight). You can do self guided walk too either in the park or just along a path from the village to the airstrip.

    If you want to feel at home in a beautiful place like Tortuguero, then Doña Marina will make sure you do. I stayed for 7 nights and I could've stayed for more. Doña Marina will help you with any of your questions and will book any tour for quickly and safely. She's an overall great person. The place itself is a great hostel to stay in and relax after a day of exploring the amazing place Tortuguero is.

    Staff were really helpful, helped us navigate the local boats and even let us borrow boots. The setting is lovely with a very relaxed feel with great views from the platform. Great location just away from the main village and felt very safe.
