My stay in Casa Terra was simply amazing. The vibe during my stay was very welcoming and warm. Amazing place with amazing people. Alex, Cha, Luis and André we're very friendly and teached me the 'Pura Vida' way of living.

The hostel feels very much like a second home, the people living and volunteering here were extremely friendly and always ready to help! The beach is a 5-10min walk from the hostel and the environment is safe. The owner explained us about the plans for the future, which I’m sure has great potential! Absolutely recommend the place!

The owner/general manager, Kiban, and his entire staff were helpful, sensitive and attentive to my needs and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The kitchen areas were very clean and well-stocked with appliances and cooking utensils.and the entire facility was comfortable, safe and very well-maintained. The price and the facilities are probably the best value-for-dollar places to stay in Samara. Highly recommended, particularly for backpackers on the earlier side of life.

The breakfast was really generous and delicious, including lots of fresh local fruit. I have a gluten intolerance and Tommy was so accommodating, he even got his friend Olga to come over and make corn tortillas some mornings! My room was lovely and big, and there was high pressure in the shower. The communal kitchen has everything you need, and everywhere was really clean. The pool is great for cooling off. The outdoor dining area is relaxed and sociable, and Tommy was always about, with a very calm, kind presence, to answer any questions or requests. There's a really chill atmosphere. The perfect music is always playing softly in the background. It takes a minute to walk to the beach (I could hear the waves from my room at night) and it is a peaceful 20 minute walk along the beach to the centre of Samara. There's a local restaurant and supermarket about 300 metres from the accommodation. It's the perfect location for relaxing while enjoying Samara. I was very unwell towards the end of my stay, and Tommy and Olga were so kind, the level of kindness that restores faith in humanity. They were incredibly caring and really went over and above to help me. Needless to say I would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you so much Tommy!

Wow what an awesome place! Pablo and Malvi are super lovely and helpful, and are busy creating a beautiful space for travellers. We stayed in the new tent platform out back - it was peaceful, cool and comfy, we slept great. Kitchen facilities are good, the hostel is clean and airy with different spaces to relax and loads of stunning murals to enjoy. The location is ideal, it's an easy walk into town/beach and had nice sodas and shops very nearby. Quiet back street that felt safe and has off-road parking right outside. Highly recommend!

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.
