My favourite stay in Costa Rica so far. The double bed bunk beds were so spacious and amazing, and I loved how social it was, I met the best people. The location is also perfect.

My stay was absolutely amazing! The place is super clean and has everything you need for an epic vacation! You're just two blocks from the ocean and one block from the main street, perfect location. But what really makes this place special are the hosts, Lenin and Chelsea- they'll make you feel like part of the family! Thanks for an unforgettable experience!!

the staff absolutely made this hostel! so friendly and happy to help with everything from the minute we got there. they make everyone feel so welcome - there is a lovely social but chilled atmosphere here. it is located between the north and south of santa teresa so both are in easy walking distance despite it feeling a little out of town. the dorms were small but it didnt matter as we had curtains which felt very private. my favourite hostel of the trip

We had the most wonderful 11 day stay at Salty. The property is beautiful, in the jungle, but perfectly located near the beach/shops/restaurants. It is quiet, feels very safe, and is very clean with a cleaning lady there daily. The staff and owners are so friendly and helpful, and are always working to improve the property and surroundings. And the four dogs living on site are absolutely delightful! It is great value for money. We fell in love with Salty and were so sad to leave! We hope to be back some day. Thanks again 😊

El Gato Rojas is one of those places where time flies and you feel like you‘re living a dream. It is an amazing place, where i met fantastic people, beautiful souls, surfed 10 times in 7 days, cooked with people from around the world and was able to improve my surfing thanks to marcus crew and classes. 10/10. Also, surf rental is super cheap so thats good.

All hostels in Santa Teresa Beach

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.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was a 10 from the incredibly comfortable beds to the very cool rooms. We stayed in the mobile home and it is very spacious with loads of storage and a nice seating area and toilet. Kitchen was big open air and fairly well equipped. Nice social area. Right on a great beach and walking distance to most cafes. The best staff of any property I’ve ever stayed in. Mica and all the other reception staff sorted out any type of inquiry or problem the fastest I’ve seen.

ICO Living is a tasteful, small Hostel, that creates a very homey and safe atmosphere. The Hostel is cleaned everyday and at the most perfect location in Santa Teresa (very close to the beach and everything you might need). Traveling by myself, my stay at ICO Living was especially impacted by the wonderful people that work there. Being welcomed and included with open arms and care made my stay very memorable and if you plan on going to Santa Teresa, I can wholeheartedly recommend ICO Living. 🧡

The ‘beach house’ is definitely something you wouldn’t typically find in a hostel and has possibly one of the best locations in Santa Teresa. Highly recommended to get assigned a room there as it feels more like an independent ‘airbnb’ and one of my best hostel experiences ever

Marco was very nice and helpful. The beds are amazing (double sized bunk beds) and were very clean. Very chill but still social vibe. Across from Selina North and close to the best surf beach of Santa Teresa. I visited when it was very new so a few things missed but I think these things will soon come! Till now one of the best hostel experiences I’ve had so far!!
