Spacious, relaxing, nice staff, good internet, and breakfast.
I was very surprised that for 55USD they do not provide a towel for the single room

Selina is great value for money for the ROOM. But beware, they'll screw you for other services. Everything they offer from beverages to activities are at least as expensive as what you'd pay elsewhere, but it's almost always significantly more expensive. Which is maybe fair, but avid hostel visitors would expect a hostel to be sort of "your friend that helps you navigate the local area by showing you how not to get screwed" kinda. Selena is the screwer here. I've been to 3 different Selena locations, and it's been true for all. If you're fine with that and buy stuff elsewhere, Selena is a very fine choice!

This Selina hostel was one of the most beautiful we have seen: it has a nice pool area and the accommodations look very pretty. They also offer free yoga in the evening.
The standard rooms are quite simple in that doors are very heavy (and don’t close well), the front door had to be locked to close it (which is a minor hassle) and the bathroom door shuts itself (which is inconvenient).
However, we received an upgrade to the Suite+ room. This was absolutely the best room we got in 4 months of traveling: spacious, balcony, etc. Just fantastic!

Really nice rooms. Nicest room I have been in so far during my two months of traveling. The AC didn’t work so we got an upgrade to a room with own bathroom which made the whole experience much nicer.
The swimming pool and area around it could use a touch up, looks a bit old and could use some nice beds for example to relax on
Food in the restaurant is quite expensive and snacks in the small store are ridiculously expensive
6.0
The looks of the Hostel were quite nice. The Yoga deck was fantastic and the area near playa maderas was also very relaxed.
The shared kitchen was a big dissapointment. No coffee machine, no normal drinking glasses (only coffee cups or plastic cups) and it ways filthy and not enough space in the fridge. I book Selinas for two reasons, the cool activities (which were mostly canceled here) and the good Wi-Fi and free coworking (for the coworking they charge you now $5 extra per day....)
5.0
Nice clean room with AC and a hammock outside.
The barkeeper has made some intrusive comments, which bothered us.
The staff at the reception seemed very unmotivated and has not been very helpful for our questions.
The Hostel is quite far away from San Juan del Sur and therefore you have to take a shuttle which does not run at the indicated times.

10.0
a great hostel, nice pool and sociable. rooms really nice and clean. surf beach a short (but steep!) walk away. nice new surf boards for rent that they rent you from the beach so no need to carry!
very limited vegetarian food on the menu and no desserts, not a huge problem but it was quite remote so going other places to eat was quite limited!
9.0
Chill place
Good food and good price
The main pool is really good.
The staff is kind and helpful.
Clean bathrooms and showers.
The Teepee Tent was comfortable, clean, and with very good space.
The chicken is always a good option.
Beverages were 2.5x expensive comparing to regular price :(
The road during winter is really heavy for Sedans.

the location is good if you’re interested in surfing at maderas beach! staff super nice and helpful and good value for money
The place was very dirty. there was a big party on the night that I got there so the co-work space was not available for 2 days which was disappointing as i went there for that purpose. I also could not sleep as the party went on till 5am. The tap in the outdoor bathroom was leaking and I told them multiple times to fix it, the bathroom was extremely dirty with mud all over the floor, no soap to wash hands and dark hair clogging the drain.

I liked the pool area and the rooms
The paths are not well lit, in the night you have to turn on your flashlight
