There was some dust on our room, on the dedicated space to put our clothes

The staff was superb

It is a bit far from the beach and the town. It was very busy when we arrived and people were partying until late with music playing a little bit to loud in my opinion. I think the price was a bit high in comparison what we usually pay for a private room with shared bathroom, but it was high season, so everything is a little bit more expensive usually.

The staff was very friendly, helpful and responsive, especially when we needed to organize a taxi arriving late at night. They also made it possible for us to check in late. The breakfast was also good and you could choose from several options. The pool area is big and looks nice. Room and bathroom were clean. Internet was very fast and easy to access.

Definitely was very noisey, but we were there on a Saturday night..

I think for what you pay it’s pretty good value for money. Our private room was a great size and clean. If you want to stay out of the hustle of San Juan then this is a good spot as you can jsut walk to Maderas beach which is convenient.

I was very surprised that for 55USD they do not provide a towel for the single room

Spacious, relaxing, nice staff, good internet, and breakfast.

it’s far from the beach but not too far and I always managed to find some ride (but if you’re staying for a very long time could be tiring and do this walk everyday). and the second thing it’s pricy (just like any selina) I was lucky to get some discount from my genius level 3. but really worth the comfort (stayed for 1 night). small Tip: do your shopping in San Juan no supermarket in madera hammock in my balcony was broken (please fix)

Beautiful place, great pool, free activities (yoga etc) great big kitchen and the most comfortable room I stayed in (they had AC, 2 pillows, really good bathroom, big spacious rooms) really just like a hotel feeling. If you want to treat yourself that’s the place ! lots of places to chill and socialize & balcony in each room. great pool great after a day at the beach.

Selina is great value for money for the ROOM. But beware, they'll screw you for other services. Everything they offer from beverages to activities are at least as expensive as what you'd pay elsewhere, but it's almost always significantly more expensive. Which is maybe fair, but avid hostel visitors would expect a hostel to be sort of "your friend that helps you navigate the local area by showing you how not to get screwed" kinda. Selena is the screwer here. I've been to 3 different Selena locations, and it's been true for all. If you're fine with that and buy stuff elsewhere, Selena is a very fine choice!

too far away from the city and the beach

different activities to choose pool music rum

Stayed in February 2023

The facilities (showers and toilets) next to the tips weren't really well-equipped and often dirty.

Slept in a tipi which was super cozy. When we arrived, the mosquito net in the first tipi we got couldn't be closed, so staff helped us move to another one. Facilities in the main building were great and the kitchen was well-equipped. Drinkable water was always available for free. The swimming pool and the zip line were a nice plus! Only 15 minute walk to the Maderas beach.

the way is not good and there are few things to do in the hotel.

The standard rooms are quite simple in that doors are very heavy (and don’t close well), the front door had to be locked to close it (which is a minor hassle) and the bathroom door shuts itself (which is inconvenient). However, we received an upgrade to the Suite+ room. This was absolutely the best room we got in 4 months of traveling: spacious, balcony, etc. Just fantastic!

This Selina hostel was one of the most beautiful we have seen: it has a nice pool area and the accommodations look very pretty. They also offer free yoga in the evening.

The swimming pool and area around it could use a touch up, looks a bit old and could use some nice beds for example to relax on Food in the restaurant is quite expensive and snacks in the small store are ridiculously expensive

Really nice rooms. Nicest room I have been in so far during my two months of traveling. The AC didn’t work so we got an upgrade to a room with own bathroom which made the whole experience much nicer.

it was not so busy so that was why most the activities were not happing, unfortunately, beacause I really wanted to join them.

loved this place. it was cozy and the pool was really nice. private rooms and also dorms were good. loved the yoga classes in the nice shala from Steven.

Nice location but needs some renovation. Booking went wrong so that was a bit of a hassle. Manager was not kind and very grumpy.

The power went out on numerous occasions and we had to eat 2 minute noodles using the gas stove to boil water. The location is shocking, it’s a 20minute walk on a dirt road to get to the beach and 15 minutes the other way to get groceries. The ‘hot shower’ was very sensitive and was mostly cold water. Selina’s beers and food options were outrageously expensive and with limited/difficult alternatives we did have to drink/eat there during our stay. We wouldn’t stay again and wouldn’t recommend staying.

We booked a teepee but once we arrived were upgraded to a room but that we had a write a good review. This was possibly a joke but didn’t set the right tone, especially because the teepees were not being used. This happened to other guests but ours was a free upgrade while we heard others had to pay. The pool and common area were good, along with the shared kitchen.

Stayed in November 2022

Beverages were 2.5x expensive comparing to regular price :( The road during winter is really heavy for Sedans.

Chill place Good food and good price The main pool is really good. The staff is kind and helpful. Clean bathrooms and showers. The Teepee Tent was comfortable, clean, and with very good space. The chicken is always a good option.

The paths are not well lit, in the night you have to turn on your flashlight

I liked the pool area and the rooms

Going out for dinner in San Juan del sur would cost you $3 pp for the shuttle to the city and $15 for the taxi to return. Which is fine for a night, but something to consider for a longer stay. Celina itself offers also food though. but after all I would definitely stay at Celina’s again!

Very nice rooms and park. Fun tours to do. Helpful personnel.
