Ready to serve and to help with any kind of questions/problems. We enjoyed at the maximum. The location is very closet to the Playa Grande/ Tamarindo.

Maria and Mati are incredible and have created the best Hostel in Tamarindo. Friendly, Clean, affordable, and have created a great vibe for those looking to surf.
The hotel is in a great location, easy to walk to the beach and restaurants. The room was spacious and clean, the pool area was great. The breakfast was delicious, it was nice that it changed each day. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Parking is easy. We felt safe here.
Great location. 2 min walk from the beautiful beach. Laidback hostel vibe and met the basic expectations with no problem.
This place is quiet. It has a pool and good privacy for couples. As there aren’t any hostels in town, this 30$ per person is the cheapest.
Everything was perfect! The best hostel, the rooms are big and clean, there are activities every day, it's the perfect place to meet new people! The staff are great and make you feel at home! If you are staying in Samara I recommend this place 100%!
Nice airy hostel. I stayed in the 8 bed dorm. There was plenty of space around each bunk bed, a fan and AC and a cabinet each to lock with key. Although a small hostel there was ample communal space in the front ( large sofa,table) and on the balcony plus some work out space. Kitchen was clean and well equipped with new pans etc. Staff were really welcoming and super helpful going the extra mile. Location was great. Quiet time 10pm to 7am and not a party hostel which is what I wanted. Very well run and friendly.
Good breakfast. Need more options though.. Great location. Safe sorroundings
One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Small, cosy and super friendly place. The staff were very welcoming and helped me numerous times throughout my stay from booking tours and trying to find transfers to booking surfing lessons at the hostel (highly recommend!). Special thanks to Camila who was incredibly nice and helpful :) As for the room, it was also nice. Even though the room is for 8 people, it is quite spacious and clean.
Definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Immediately felt like home. Such good vibes. The staff is very friendly. It's very well located. I extended my stay a few times. It was really sad to leave. Love this place!
We did not have high expectations for Tamarindo, but ended up loving our time there - mainly because of the hostel. The owner is very sweet and helpful, it is easy to meet people in the common kitchen area and the 10-minute walk into town makes for a calm atmosphere out of the party district. On a backpackers budget, Tsunami hostel is really good value for your money. We felt very welcome here.
