Hostel Mariposas

Hostel

Very nice hostal! Really chilled area good kitchen and rooms. Sometimes party with DJ and almost everyday actions like going to a waterfall, volleyball, walking and so on. As employees are all international volunteers they are on to do adventure too:) Surfing is only for beginners as Hurricanes and earthquakes destroyed the reef and sandbanks.

This place is a disaster. I've been in other hostel in Costa Rica and they had nothing to do with this place. The first room they gave us (a room for two) was infested with termites and had no bathroom no sink, nothing. This means we had to share the only two shower with 15 other people and only one of these shower had hot water. When they gave us another room because of the termites (this one had a private bathroom and was the same price as the other one, so they were charging us the same price for less). In that new room the smell was horrible, and had to sleep in dirty sheets, I was able to smell the scalp odor of the person who who slept on the pillow before me. And on the top of that, don't think about using the Wi-Fi. It doesn't work or constantly disconnect. Avoid this place.

Beautiful place inside the jungle! +great crew and excellent breakfast.

Good people, nice common areas, good location, but needs more ventilation in dorm, and fix that drip in the kitchen before someone gets sick please. Recommended regardless.

I spent 5 days at Las Mariposas and could't have made a better choice. The location couldn't be any better, as its a 2 minutes walk from the beach, a 4 minutes walk from the next supermarket and close to bars and cafes. The hostel itself is very cozy with plenty of beautiful and thoughtful details. Private rooms/dorms were clean and so were the bathrooms and the shared kitchen. The staff was very friendly and made me feel welcome from the very first moment. Wish I could have stayed longer!

First hostel I've ever been to… mind blown! Awesome volunteers awesome guests can't ask for a better experience!

Good location, close to the beach. Friendly staff. Found the dorm room dark & uninviting, with no locker to secure my backpack, just a small lockbox for valuables… so I opted to spend more and take a private room. Room was okay, with shared bathroom. Overall vibe of the place wouldn't make it my first choice if I returned… I've stayed in lots of more cheerful, colorful hostels.

I really loved this hostel and wish I could have stayed longer. Well equipped kitchen, free coffee in the morning and really friendly staff! Would definitely recommend this hostel to everyone!

This is the first hostel I've stayed in (and my first international experience) but I was quite impressed very quickly. The staff and guests are both great! So friendly and easy-going. The kitchen is well stocked for use and the family dinner in the evenings was wonderful! There are lots of room options and great beach access. Overall I'd highly recommend this place and definitely plan on coming back someday!

After traveling for weeks, we wished we'd found Hostel Las Mariposas sooner! Beautiful, relaxing, and immediately felt welcome and at home thanks to Jackson, Salome and the other staff and fellow travelers. Family dinner each night, many options for lodging, and inexpensive laundry service! Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay and hang out. Pura Vida.
