My stay at Argdivan was exceptional. The owner, Pablo, as well as all of the volunteers were very welcoming and helpful throughout the entire process. I will definitely be returning someday and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a laid-back hostel in Sámara.

I liked that the property was in a quiet cozy area. it's a short walk from the beach into the center of town, and an even shorter walk to said beach. I travel to costa rica to see the wildlife and here I was able to experience the beauty of this MASSIVE mangrove tree in the yard and all the cool animals that visit. the jungle here feels prehistoric! but the property is very well kept and safe. There is a code lock on the main gate so i never had to worry about losing a key at the beach! Hallelujah hahaha. it was nice to just run down the street and jump in the ocean, and back. Theres even a few outdoor showers to wash the sand off after. overall will be returning soon! and bringing my surf board :^)

All hostels in Sámara

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
