Great pool/common area, environment to meet new people. Clean. Great value for Costa Rica

Kevin United States of America

The staff is amazing, very friendly and helpful! Room was nice, we had a problem with the AC and the manager of the hostel fixed it straight away. The pool was a nice plus. Good energy and vibes overall. Definitely good value for price, would go back!

Eliana Israel

It was my first time staying at a hostel and Botella de Leche set the bar so high for other future hostel stays. Amazing staff, super friendly. Great location next to a market, close to where all the action is. I even extended two extra days because I was having a good time. Book it.

Jose United States of America

The staff was simply amazing. Everyone went above & beyond to assist with any needs that I had.

Calhoun United States of America

Really comfortable room, amazing location (close to grocery, restaurants, etc), nice pool to cool off during the day, there is a yoga/ gym space, Leo the manager helped us book a diving trip and make sure we have the best stay. It can get loud but all the guests are following the no noise guideline by 10pm so it wasn't a problem for us.

Badri United States of America

I can't say enough about how welcoming the staff was at reception. The hostel was clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again!

Paul United States of America

This is a great little inexpensive place to stay in Tamarindo. The rooms exceeded my expectations for the price paid. The rooms are basic, but clean and have what a person needs (bed, bathroom etc...). The staff were extremely helpful, especially Leo! While i was there, I suffered an injury and Leo was extremely helpful and empathetic.

Angela Canada

Best value and most friendly chill staff! Awesome vibe there! Easy to walk everywhere!
