Costa Rica Backpackers - Hostel

The beds have a draw underneath that "locks" but no bottom inside and the beds are so light and not bolted down, that you can literally just lift them up and steal someone's stuff. Completely ridiculous

A literal train passes by your window and shakes the room every 30 mins. I wouldn't stay here if you want a good night sleep.

I love that it’s a little piece of paradise in the middle of San Jose. If you like it quiet at night bring ear plugs, as it is a very social place!!

It was good, but there was a lot of noise all night. Also the kitchen was not really clean. The pool and hamac section were nice to relax.

Sink was broken for days and constantly ran, kitchen was just destroyed. I was in the shower once and the water just quit working while I was covered in soap. Don't recommend this place at all.

Wouldn't recommend it to be honest. Rude staff, definitely better hostels around

The welcome ain't that good. There's a mini tour that's all. Then on your own after. Fix your own bed, pillow cases to pillows, blankets just handed over. Unsure if it's washed or not. But what can you expect, the price is cheap. You get what you paid for.

The pool was gross and I asked the staff multiple times within two consecutive days to clean the pool so I could swim and prevent germs and bacteria spreading from the already filthy pool, especially during times of the coronavirus and nothing; it was not cleaned. Beers and food I had left marked with my name in the fridge was stolen. The female who works cooking in the morning for breakfast can’t cook or on purpose cooks my breakfast terribly; I can cook better and the other older female cooks who cook in the afternoon cook better. The I didn’t give attention to the female local staff who are single or pose as single but already have boyfriends hated on me and refused to honor my next reservation; I don’t even date fat girls, latinas, or dark skinned girls to each their own taste in dating ! I’m not from the country India I don’t do arranged marriages nor do I date or flirt with women I’m not attracted to; sorry that I’m not sorry. There were some local prostitutes who came to stay at the location but like I stated they fall under the same category and not my type so they refused to continue to do buisiness with me and I’m like whatever. I chase European women or a woman from Europe and I’m from the USA and I don’t even chase, date any chic from the USA. They previously didn’t refund me my key deposit nor did. They do so this time either but when I arrived they didn’t charge me the key deposit but still again I didn’t get it back. Over all They just hate on me from reviewing

Super cute out door area. Backpackers always brings about a certian vibe of friendly and warm hearted people

There is a large sized female who work(s) (ed) the afternoon shift until 10 pm and she is a paid local who does speak Spanish and little English but has the worst and most sour attitude out of all the staff. This female gave me an attitude since the moment I walked in to do a check in and the day prior to check out refused to receive my laundry for laundry service before I moved on to trace to the next city; I personally do not like to travel with dirty clothes and the sour staff she was made me travel with dirty clothes because she refused service for no reason. Other than that upon check out when I returned the room key, the key deposit money was never returned to me :-( I want my money back ‼️
