Hostels in Tortuguero

Sean Canada

Mina at reception was incredibly helpful and lovely, I also booked a canoe tour though the hostel and my guide Israel was incredibly knowledgeable. The hostel was great and the common area was amazing for cooking and socializing with fellow guests. Hostel was very close to main strip and 1min from the beach

This place is truly paradise! An authentic eco-lodge run by a lovely local family. This lodge is located in San Francisco which is a neighboring village, a short 5-10 minute boat ride from the main village of Tortuguero. You can take a private boat taxi or catch the local boat service for very cheap. I truly enjoyed staying in San Francisco rather than Tortuguero. The village is much more local, with very few tourists, offering a slower and more authentic local experience. Geraldo, Ana Rita, and Victor made me feel like family during my entire stay. Geraldo was a guide in this area for over 40 years and has so many lovely stories to share about his life here. Ana Rita is the master administrator and lovely matriarch of the family that can help you with booking any tours, boat transfers, or services that you require during your stay. Victor has great energy and prepared beautiful meals for me daily which were healthy, filling, and varied from day to day. I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful lodge for 5 nights. Most people only stay in the area for 2-3 nights but I definitely recommend extending your stay because the local area and lifestyle has so much to offer. During my stay, my room was cleaned daily and the sheets were changed every other day which was a lovely addition I wasn't expecting. Just from the property, I was able to see a variety of different wildlife passing through such as toucans, tiger herons, and a variety of other birds and frogs. I couldn't have asked for a more amazing and tranquil experience. I hope to return once more and spend another week with this lovely family in the future.

This hotel is the best option in town. I can’t believe is almost 7 thousand colones with a great location, good breakfast and all the attention from doña Marina. You will feel at home in the very heart of Tortuguero. This place will be always my first option!

Great location in Tortuguero (close to the sea and center of town, no busy street), it's clean, bathroom is quite decent, free coffee and water refill, friendly staff.
