    The vibe is fantastic! Friendly staff, cute atmosphere, and feels like family. Convenient location near beach, town center, and amenities. Great communal spaces for socializing and playing games. Clean and well-equipped kitchens for cooking. Quiet at night, no need for earplugs.

    Nothing could have been better.

    Close proximity to the beach and a short walk away from the hostel. Clean and cozy atmosphere, giving it a homely feel. Well-equipped kitchens with drinking water and complimentary coffee in the morning. Engaging community living, where people from different backgrounds gather around a garden table and share stories. Immaculate bathrooms and communal areas. Great location near all amenities. Comfortable and value for money.

    Felt privileged, no reason to complain.

    Really enjoyed the friendly vibe and welcoming atmosphere at this place. The staff were kind and made us feel at home. The common area was great for socializing with other travelers. The location was convenient, with bus stops nearby and everything we needed within a short walk. The comfortable mattress on the bunk bed and the circulation fan were a plus for a good night's sleep.

    The internet was a bit slow, but that seems to be common in Costa Rica. The smell of smoke in the room and on the bed sheets was quite unpleasant, and the sheets didn't feel very clean.

    Great option for a city trip

    The hostel is conveniently located close to bus stops and within walking distance of everything. the comfortable bunk beds and dedicated fan made for a pleasant stay. Plus, the hostel offered a kitchen, helping guests save money on food.

    The shower was dripping and the lockers were noisy. mosquitoes made the common areas uncomfortable at times.

    I recently stayed at Hostel Matilori for three nights and it was an amazing experience. The location was perfect, just a 5-minute walk to the beach. The hostel had a cozy and homely feel with two kitchens, complimentary drinking water, and free morning coffee. The place was always clean and tidy, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and I met some wonderful people during my stay. The hot showers and comfortable beds added to the overall comfort of the hostel. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in town!

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The hostel had a relaxed and fun vibe, making it a great place to meet new people and socialize. Clean and comfortable rooms. The beds were comfortable and the showers had hot water, providing a pleasant stay.- Convenient location. The hostel was located close to the beach, making it easy to access and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

    Lack of security. The communal outdoor area was accessible at all times and valuables should not be left unattended outside.

    The staff and volunteers were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home during our romantic escape. They treated us like family and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. The common areas and bathrooms were cleaned daily, which was a nice touch. It made us feel more comfortable and added to the overall cleanliness of the place. The location was perfect for us. It was close to the center of town, making it easy to explore and experience everything Samara had to offer. Plus, it was quiet at night, so we were able to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

    That the pillows on the bed were a bit thin and small. Bringing our own pillows would have been a good idea, as it would have added more comfort during our stay.

    My recent stay at a cozy hostel in a charming beach town was absolutely delightful. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and made to feel right at home. The hostel had a clean and comfortable atmosphere, with all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. I especially loved the communal outdoor area, where we could relax and share stories with fellow travelers. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and close to everything we needed. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting the area.

    I had an amazing time at Matilori! The location was perfect, close to the beach, town center, bars, and supermarkets. The vibes were super nice and the price was great. Hanging out in the backyard, playing games with Oscar and enjoying a beer was a highlight. The staff, especially Fran, were helpful with my travel plans and the conversations with Ariel about music and movies were engaging. It truly felt like a home away from home. Pura Vida!

    Strongly recommend this hotel.
