It was absolutely gorgeous. The room was clean and comfortable, and it was very peaceful and quiet. The wifi connection was really strong so I could get work done, and everyone I met there was super nice. Made a couple of friends there as well. Breakfast was yummy and laundry services were pretty cheap

Staff is super friendly, and they value us as guests, and it shows. They are always there to assist! Our key broke late in the night and they helped us in quick and professional manner, the owner made sure we get our full deposit back. Place is really close to the beach and there are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, but the food here is awesome with great chefs. There is always something going on at the bar and everyone is happy to hang out. Cocktails are really good with reasonable price. I would gladly visit again!

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.

    The bed was comfortable. The hostel only had one dorm which surprised me, but you connected very quickly with the other backpackers there because of it. The dorm was mixed, but this dorm had a frame in the dorm so that you could change comfortably. The showers were fine. Kitchen was also good. The common area was very big and comfortable.

    Location was absolutely perfect. 5 minute walk to a stunning beach, amazing restaurants all around. Very safe area for families or female travelers. Best area in Uvita in my opinion. Flutterby has the nicest staff as well, the owner was so kind and friendly. The hostel has clean rooms and is immersed in nature. Great value for your money.
