One of the best hostels I've stayed in Centroamérica. Not only do dorms have a bathroom but also every bed has curtains, lights, a little fan and a socket! Ana is always willing to help and give you good advice about places and how to get there. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped and the common area has games and a ping-pong table, apart from some cute little lizards strolling around the garden. Great hostel!

had a great time here! the guys who own the hostel are super nice and try to help you with whatever you need. they also organize group activities like going to the hotsprings or cooking dinner (way cheaper than the restaurants and very good). It’s super easy to connect with other people! The place gets cleaned everyday and the supermarket and town are just around the corner. definitely recommend staying here, especially if you are traveling alone

I absolutely loved this hostel! It was super spacious with lots of nice hangouts and a beautiful view of the river. It had a chilled but friendly vibe so it was easy to meet other travellers but nice and quiet when you want to sleep. The kitchen was really clean and well equipped - there were plenty of hobs so even at busy times you don't have to wait to cook. I loved having the gym for morning workouts too!

We had an absolutely amazing time at Blackout Hostel. Most notably, the location and the staff/people. Just a couple minutes walk to the city center with nice restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Also about 10-15 minutes walk to this spectacular waterfall where everyone goes to jump off the rocks and swing from the Tarzan rope. Tony, the owner, was so kind and welcoming. We spent every night chatting in the main room with the other guests and even went out all together at the club next door. If you're looking for a fun time focused on experiences, this is the place to be.

The receptionists were very nice and helpful. We needed to find a way to get to Tamarindo very last minute and they helped us find it even though it was late. Also great vibes, nice pool, and beautiful rooms with AC. Also they helped us book tours in La Fortuna which were very enjoyable.

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.

I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
