Looking for a hostel?
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.

    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.

    We had a big 6-bed-room for the whole family with very well equipped kitchen corner, where we could prepare breakfast and hot snacks. Everything is very clean and e felt very safe. The location directly at the beach is great for a early morning walk. Upon our arrival in Pavona boat station, we were already expected by a guide sent by the hostel to bring us to the house. We would definitely come back if we came to Tortuguero again!
