Awesome energy in the space. As a solo, female traveler I felt immediately safe like I could exhale. The space quickly felt like home. The Staff genuinely cares for everyone that’s walks in their door, their kindness and helpfulness was unending.

This place exceeded every expectation I had! Sámara is a true paradise : the perfect little beach town with the kindest people, the most beautiful beaches and the best vibe.

Perfectly located in a very quiet neighbourhood close to the beach, supermarkets and the towncenter. The volunteers and owners do their best to keep the space clean at least twice a day and are very communicative. Very comfortable beds with lights, chargers, curtains and personal fan. I loved it!

This is the best place to stay if you want to see the arribada of turtles! The starting point of the tours is just right across the street. Ostional is quite far to drive from other locations, it is advisable to drive there in daylight and stay in the village for a night. The house is basic but comfortable, the rooms have AC and stable wifi. The hosts were super kind depsite the language barrier.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
