Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
Really enjoyed being submerged in the deep jungle and enjoyed hiking all the trails. Fantastic forest bathing. Our favourite trail was the valley trail for views but to see wildlife you need to go deeper on Bonan (we saw monkey, toucan and butterflies). From the hostel you can sit and enjoy hummingbirds from your room or the social platform.
Enough showers, toilets and kitchen facilities that you never have to queue
Ron and some of the volunteers were nice
Excellent value for money for the location and we enjoyed the magical stay overall
The trails are amazing. I really enjoyed my time with both the volunteers and fellow guests. This is a place that attracts interesting people. I spent 5 peaceful nights here. Having stayed on a previous occasion, this visit further taught me to keep my mind and senses open both on the trails and at the hostel. The best experience is to be had by reducing any preconceived expectations. Such a beautiful natural place.
beautiful open plan living (naturist optional)hostel! The best place to meet likeminded travelers, recharge and live comfortably in nature. Up at the hostel it was run by volunteers who put in a lot of care which was great, adds a little something to the place! Nice walking trails and hidden gem spots all over.
The Hostel is located into the jungle very close to Corcovado National Park.
It has two well equipped kitchens.
When walking the associated walking trails animals like snakes, spiders, frogs, howler and white-faced monkeys... can be observed.
If you don't want to spent your money for a Corcovado tour, then you can have some exciting yet relaxing days in a rainforest instead.
One for the books! Not only was Ron(host) very welcoming, he created a safe space for travelers and nature lovers that excepted any expectations I had. Many memories where made during my 6 night stay. And the trails that he created were a bonus! Oh and you will definitely spot so much wild life during your stay! Thank you Bolita Rainforest Hostel!
amazing place in the middle of the rainforest! unique experience with stunning sunrises in the morning! definitely worth a visit during your time in Costa Rica. We saw so many animals just by chilling in the hostel. friendly staff, great included hiking trails (especially the waterfalls and the hike through the river) and an breathtaking atmosphere - all around a one of a kind hostel
What an amazing experience.
The hostel is situated on the border of Corcovado National Park and offers a budget friendly alternative to hiking in the jungle and spotting wildlife. We saw sooo many different types of birds,insects and even a snake.
The hiking trails are easy to find and well maintained.
Bear in mind that you will need to trek 30 min to get to the hostel and bring enough food to cook yourself during the duration of your stay. There is no fridge, so plan accordingly.
