  Fantastic first hostel experience

  Liked : This was my first time in a hostel. I had a private room with bathroom. The room and facilities were very clean and well maintained. There is no hot water heater (very typical for this area ) and I did not miss it. Showers were good with great water pressure. I had a bin for my food in the commercial refrigerator and no one bothered it, it was very easy to cook and prepare my foods. The family that runs the hostel are welcoming, kind, and attentive. It was a great experience. I was in town for language school and the lovely hostel and center of town location were perfect. It was very easy to swim in the ocean twice a day at sunrise and sunset. Mercado is across the street. Interbus dropped me off at the door. Very easy and I would stay again. Felt very safe at all times.

  Disliked : I really enjoyed my stay. Nothing bad to say here!

  Amazing host and great location.

  Liked : The people at Hostel Sámara were super friendly and welcoming. Annie was an amazing host who was always happy to talk and answer all my questions. The dorm and bathroom were very clean and tidy. The location was perfect, right in the center of Sámara and within a short of walk of the beach, restaurants, and shops. Thanks Annie for an incredible stay!

  Super clean, very organized, well-equipped comfortable right downtown two blocks from lovely beach

  Liked : Super clean!!! well organized with foot shower on the way in to keep the sand down in common areas. Terrific kitchen. Clotheslines available to dry beachwear. Safe - there is a keyed/buzzer front gate whenever desk is not staffed. Water refill station. Nice staff. Right downtown two blocks to beach. Very nice (covered) dining/working space.

  Disliked : nothing.

  Liked : The staff were all very friendly and helpful. This is the only place we stayed where we were asked if we wanted our garbage changed and room tidied. Large kitchen area with designated spots in the fridge for each room. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet. Very convenient location, close to the beach, restaurants and grocery store. We appreciated having cold drinking water as Samara was by far the hottest stop on our journey! There is no designated parking however we had no issue parking across the road.

  Disliked : Cash only

  Would love to go back and stay there again!

  Liked : One of the best hostels I stayed in Costa Rica. Great location, Value for Price and one of the best, well stocked kitchens out of the dozens of hostels I visited in Costa Rica. Very helpful and friendly staff.

  Disliked : Windows into our room had drapes that didn't block the lights from the lounge area, hard to have a dark room when it was time to sleep.
