Very lovely stay with a true Jungle atmosphere 😍

The breakfast was a Costa Rican typical fare. The host served the same breakfast daily. This was fine with myself and friends as we were able to cook and add things like sausage to our plates if desired ~

Not on the host but Costa Rica goes to bed early. The sun is down by 6 pm and quiet hours are observed shortly after through the night. A few times the pool and facilities would shut down early if no one was using them. This could be a bother on occasion if we didn't arrive back at the room until after things had been shut down at 7pm vs the 10pm time posted.

Belle chambre joliment arrangée joli salon de jardin mais trop cher pour une auberge de jeunesse

Chambres et salle de bains très joliment arrangées. C’est petit mais très soigné . Petit salon sympa dans le jardin .

On ne nous montre pas sur booking les photos de l’immeuble et le parking qui longent la piscine. Mais c’est une auberge de jeunesse ou les jeunes en dortoir ne payent pas cher. Nous avons payé 78 dollars.

Bel hostel bien tenu avec petit-dejeuner

Bon accueil, maison originale avec des espaces de vie et de la musique très agréable et c'est très propre. Le délicieux et copieux petit déjeuner est un plus !

Malheureusement, ils étaient en travaux d'agrandissement de leur hostel et construction d'une piscine donc du bruit dés 6h toute la journée avec la poussière qui va avec...

Pleasant

The hostel itself is beautifully decorated and furnished. The garden invites you to relax. A paradise in the jungle, close to the beach. The breakfast was great and huge! The beds are comfortable. In general, the hostel was very well organized with the colors of the towels, food boxes for the fridge for each guest and things like that. But…

First of all, I didn’t like that I paid more than I had to according to booking. I paid in colones and not in US dollars (as USD is not Costa Rica’s currency…). When I asked what the price would be in colones, they made me pay something between 10-15 USD more (I don’t remember the exact amount). Unfortunately, I realized that later on when I calculated my expenses. I slept in a dorm with 4 beds. There were ventilators for each person but the room is definitely way too small for 4 sweating people. It smelled bad and was everything but comfortable.

It was comfortable enough. It was a fairly quiet hostel so attracted quiet travellers.

good breakfast- decent size

Maybe start breakfast at 7am. If you rise early, 8am is a long wait.Maybe has a bowl of fruit also as an option instead of the same meal everyday

Great quiet place at the beach

The atmosphere and attention to details, as well as the breakfast and cleanliness were second to none. The beach is only 150m from the property.

The niceist hostel I have stayed so far!

Come to this cozy, colorful jungle where breakfest was excellent, garden and relax areas were so good that CasaJungla will be a place you imagine from now on then you think about retreat. :))) 3 komplete bathrooms, beautifully decorated like rest of the accomodation, always clean, and they put new towels on your bed every other day. Thank you, you are excellent example on how to run a hostel! :))

Air conditions in the rooms will help people rest more from the heat.

I really loved this hostel. It’s about a mile from the main part of jaco, which I enjoyed as it was a little quieter. They have bikes you can borrow to go downtown but also walking distance. The kitchen area was stellar!! Super clean and organized, was so refreshing compared to other hostel kitchens. Cute dog <3 Garden in the back was so lovely. And bonus points from me for the outside shower option! Lovely hosts who spoke very good English. Breakfast and coffee was yummy and super filling. Overall loved

Nothing it was all so good

Would definitely stay here again.

This was a very pleasant experience. the owners are very nice and they are easy to talk with. very informative on anything you need. Rooms: We stayed in a private room. very spacious with ceiling fans. Beds: very comfy and 2 pillows/person Common areas: a variety of different areas snd experiences. living room in the front with couches and chairs. kitchen +dining area very spacious with large table. Garden has a few hammocks and garden furniture under a tent so you’re not in the sun/ rain. Kitchen: Well equipped. Fridge: Only one fridge but it’s a small hostel so we all managed. Extras: There are a few bicycles which are free for the first hour then they charge 2,000 colónes if you take additional hours. Surf boards available. Breakfast: Coffee is prepared early in the morning and they serve you breakfast at the table. Typical Tico breakfast. Very safe hostel as most places in CR. 10-12 minutes walk to downtown by road. A few minutes less via the beach. 5 minutes by bicycle.

Incredible place, at the border of Jaco. Super tranquila vibes, a wonderful garden, comfy rooms, and the most beautiful decoration and kitchen area I have ever seen in a hostel. Clean and tidy, without a doubt, the best hostel we have stayed in CR sofar. The breakfast is also delicious, best gallo pinto sofar (btw I would love to have the recipe of that)

Everything was fine 🙂

Away from the noise of Jaco, but still within 15-20min walk from the center, the hostel is perfect for anyone looking for tranquility and proximity to the beach. The hosts are super welcoming, they make you feel at home immediately. Some reviews mentioned the rules being to strict, to which I clearly disagree. They are necessary to ensure cleanliness and comfort of all the guests, especially in “party town” places like Jaco. For anyone looking to socialize, there is a garden space and a big kitchen table where people usually take breakfast together. The common spaces are really cosy, and the kitchen is decently well equipped if you really want to cook. I had a double bed room, it was small but cosy, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, I really enjoyed my weekend there! Thank you Casajungla.

Nothing, but some suggestion: - Breakfast could be a little more diverse. Gallo Pinto is fine if it’s your first time traveling in Costa Rica, but it gets a bit old if you’ve been staying here for some time. Perhaps pancakes, French crepes or something really simple to do could be good, especially for people staying for several days. - Tea is available at every moment of the day, but coffee was only for breakfast, which I found a bit odd considering we are in a country that is known for its coffee. A simple coffee maker would have been good to have access to.

Cute hostel but too pricey for what it is

The location of the hostel is good, close to the beach but a bit outside of Jaco (+- walking distance to Jaco centre). The place was clean.

It was quite noisy (I know it's a hostel) as the rule of no noise after 10 pm wasn't really reinforced with the other guests. The hospitality seemed a bit forced, not natural. The breakfast is only being served between 8 and 9 with is very restrictive I think. The fact that you can only pay in cash is not normal in my eyes (we didn't know at the moment of booking and would have probably chosen another hostel as we have fees with every money withdrawal). For me the price was too high for what it is.

Great location! Basic, but clean and friendly.

Very close to the main beach of Jaco and a short (10-15 min) walk into town, so the location was great because it was both convenient and quiet. Cute garden with nice places to sit. Breakfast was the best free one we had in Costa Rica. Rooms are secure and there is a gate out front so it feels very safe.

Beds were a bit uncomfortable, and the rooms could use more hooks to hang towels and stuff. The showers didn't have hot water which is not ideal.

The perfect place to have spend my first solo vacation.

The hostel was such a great environment to be in: the rooms and bathrooms were always super clean, the staff was always incredibly friendly and there were so many things to do around the hostel. You could enjoy the ocean, the jungle, the city and the amazing chill out garden at the hostel.

There are some people who stay for just one night and others who stay for a longer time, so it was not always easy to make friends/get to know people at the hostel. I stayed for a week, so I had both sides of poeple staying 1 night and people staying for a longer period of time. I met some great people who taught me how to surf, so I’m very grateful to have been there for a week!
