La ubicación y que la habitación compartida era muy grande
La limpieza del baño era insuficiente, no hay posibilidad de contratar tours o shuttles desde el alojamiento, la recepción solo está de 8am-8pm, la interacción entre las personas es básica

Increíble personal.
Lo mejor de todo es el muy grato ambiente que hay en el hostal, bien distribuido los espacios comunes y la cocina, donde se generan relaciones con los demás huéspedes de forma muy natural. Es acogedor y limpio, además tiene buena ubicación, literalmente puedes cruzar la calle y tomar un paso directo a la playa.
Tiene un "plus" de que hay un segundo piso exclusivo para mujeres, lo cual considero muy cómodo y seguro para las viajeras que andan solas.
Los dueños, Tule y Uki son demasiado amables y tienen muy buena disposición para ayudarte con lo que necesites. De verdad se siente como si fueran amigos que te conocen de antes.
Salty es realmente una comunidad, es sin lugar a dudas el mejor hostal en donde hospede en Santa Teresa

Salty was one of the best places we have stayed at during our own trip. The atmosphere was really nice. It was a quiet, comfortable place to stay at. There was a nice outdoor kitchen and the staff is really nice. The owner and the volunteers helped us out with all our questions. It is close to a nice and quiet beach. A bit further from the real center, but close to a supermarket, nice ice cream place and other restaurants. Would recommend 100%

We spent 5 wonderful days in our studio-container. There were private outdoor kitchen and lounge part!
AC in the bedroom + fan outside.
The owner and volunteers are super friendly and helpful.
3 minutes walk to the beach. Close to good restaurants, bakery and a supermarket.
In the garden, we could see howler monkeys, raccoons, birds and cats :)
The bus comes in front of the guesthouse.

First of all, this is the most comfortable hostel i have ever stayed and i am sure this will f*ck up my travels because I will never find a hostel this good. Most important for me was my bed; it was comfy (140x200cm/queensize) had a LOT of privacy and because this hostel is not a party hostel i could sleep in peace. Second the vibe is very laid back, i feel if you're here for a couple of days you could easily keep people.
Everything is cleaned once per day and reasonably clean, i feel like the bathroom (shower) could use a deep cleaning.
Because i liked it so so much, i extended my stay and was here for over a month. For me it feels like home, would definitely come back and recommend 10/10!
Pura vida and thanks to Uki, Tule and their team <3

The owner Uky is such a great host! Really helpfull with helping me out. The key of my door was broken and he tried to fix it as fast as possible. Wasn't able to do it in time, but really helpfull. I stayed in the studio, and had my own patio (with kitchen and fridge too). The bed was nice and had my own bathroom. It's a bit futher away from the centre, but It's a good price. You will have your own mini home there! Really chilled vibe. Maybe some new pillows for the bed will be a good option because of the spots on it.
Location just a little out of town. But close to the supermarket! The pillows were a bit old and have molt spots on it. Cold shower, but good water pressure!

10.0
One of my favorite hostel ever ! Everything was amazing and I really felt home. First, the bedroom: 8 beds in a very spacious room, all of them with double bed, all of them with curtains - lights - fan - mirror ! The bed was soooo confortable. There’s a bathroom in the room (with hot water) always super clean, and also more showers and toilets outside. Then, the kitchen: there’s two and they are very well equipped, with a lot of free condiments and food. Also all the volunteers were super nice so thank you for everything !

nice hostel, private room very comfy with modern bathroom.
owner very informative about local idea and places to go/eat/drink/visit throughout your stay.
the two different kitchens made socialising hard within the hostel.

I booked this a bed in the female dorm very last minute as I wanted to stay in Santa Teresa itself instead of Playa Hermosa and it was the best decision. Loved the dorm room, so big, spacious and clean with a private kitchen and terrace. Really loved my stay at Salty

The Dorm is incredible. Huge bed, huge room, air-conditioning, everything very clean. Our dorm had an own kitchen. One of the most comfortable dorms I have ever been. The beach is only a few minutes walking distance.
The street is very close and a bit noisy.
5.0
The double beds, with all around curtains felt incredibly private and spacious. and the rolling under bed lockboxes were adorable. The kitchen was decently equipped with a nice eating area.
Tons of mosquitoes my legs got eaten up! I felt like it was in a weird part of town, and a longer walk to the beach than I had anticipated. The general cleanliness was decent, but the whole place needs a deep clean especially the shower walls 🥴 and the toilet seat was quite broken. There was 8 beds instead of the 6 in the listing and so every nice addition (personal fan, light, and locker box) was missing on two of the beds. Was not much area at all to hang out and meet people.

I really enjoyed my stay at Salty (5 nights) during my vacation to Santa Tere. Uky and Tule (the owners) are so easygoing and helpful, also their staff is very nice and cool to hang out with :)
This place is pretty well situated in town, beach and most places are within walking distance.
The room is neat (AC and fan!) and there’s enough space for your luggage. There’s an outside shared kitchen and fridge. You could also borrow surfboards and snorkelling masks for free. Best thing are the mangos (so tasty!) they literally fall from the trees here!
Muchas gracias guys, would love to come back soon :)
Just be aware this is not a party hostel, they try creating the atmosphere as chill and laidback as possible.

Relaxed vibe. Very close to the beach, shops, restaurants, etc. Kitchen had good facilities. Quiet nights sleep despite being near the road.
We got so many mosquito bites staying here, far far more than anywhere else we’ve been in Costa Rica.

I really enjoyed the stay! The stuff was so friendly and helpful all the time, it was clean and I definitely would come back again!

Very nice place to calm down and relax. The beds are big and with the curtains you get slot if privacy although you’re in a dorm. The balcony and the kitchen outside are very inviting and everything is made with lots of love. I enjoyed staying here very much and hope to come back one day.

reception wasn’t always there
9.0
Perfectly located near the beach and to all bars and restaurants around. It is lovely decorated and the beds were very comfy and big. The staff was very friendly and kind and the owner gave me the best recommendations for Surfing and vegan restaurants (there are a lot) and for exploring Santa Teresa. Both owners were very kind and caring. Also the people around were very open-minded and it was easy to connect. The best was the two doggos, such cute and lovely beings. Gonna miss them!
The Hostel is located directly to the main street. But nearly all hotels/ hostels in Santa are. So sometimes it got a little noisy bc of the traffic. Also some more possibilities for chilling and relaxing would have been nice.
10.0
This hostel was outstanding. Very friendly and helpful owners/staff. Structure of rooms/beds/storage was perfect. Outdoor area for eating/working/socializing was wonderful as well. Nice vibe/music/chill atmosphere. Very centrally located. Easy passage to the beach. Salty was a top favorite for me!
8.0
The dorm was really nice and there were big beds and clean bathrooms. There was a good kitchen and the location is perfect in between the two beaches.
I would say that this is not a really social hostel where you can meet other travelers.
3.0
Big rooms with a lot of space, very quiet in the evening
Not a lot of stuff to cook with (they didnt even have an oven or a microwave), only takes cash but they don’t have change, volonteers who works there are lovely and very nice but manager/owner is rude to customer, not polite and not accomodating at all. They did some noisy renovations at 7am for 3 days in a row and didnt even warn customers. Shower kept getting clogged. Overall disapointing

I liked everything! There is a really relaxed atmosphere. The dorm has a lot of space. Good, large beds, everything very clean. The staff is super friendly!! They helped me a lot when I had an accident, I could even stay one night extra for free. Would definitely recommend this place.

You will not regret staying in this hostel, don't hesitate to book! It far exceeded my expectations and this was my favourite place I have stayed on my three month trip. The volunteers and staff were so friendly and good vibes, I stayed in the female dorm and the room was beautifully decorated and spacious. I rented a board and surfed every day, the town felt safe to walk alone and was a perfect size with some lively bars / nights. I love Santa Teresa, it is the best beach town in Costa Rica!
