Hostel Rocking J's

Beach. This property is either next to the beach or will have its own private access.

Playa Salsa Brava, 63735 Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica –

It was so quirky and unique I loved wandering around and discovering new bits of artwork.

Kelcey, United States of America

Great atmosphere, neglecting private room 5 an astounding interior, nice private beach, right opposite to a liquor store, amazing live performances, great place to party,

Jonathan, Costa Rica

Beachfront and bonfire were pretty sweet for the night!

Michael, Costa Rica

This place is awesome!! The owner & all staff are super friendly & welcoming. Definitely stay here if your going to Puerto Viejo!

Maddy, Australia

Spent only one night here. Environment very artistic, it's close to the beach. You can rent bikes here which are in pretty terrible shape, but seem very authentic and does the job :)

Mantas, Lithuania

While I wasn't looking for or expecting a party hostel, I suppose I should have with a name like Rocking J's. And it lived up to the name. If you're looking for a good party and a chance to meet people, Rocking J's has what you need. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there's a private beach just a few feet away. For a laid back, party atmosphere, Rocking J's is the place.

Christopher, United States of America

This place is amazing. It's covered in mosaic tiles everywhere and right on the beach. If you can sleep in a hammock I highly recommend this place.

Chloe, United States of America

Things were pretty good at Rockin J's - amazing live performance at night. Slept comfortably, things were clean and it is right on the beach.

Ryan, United States of America

Private room for two was more like cell in penitentiary with the bunk bed and railing, there was no air-conditioning or ventilation there. Shared room at least had air-conditioning, so my friends switched into shared room with bunk beds.

Biker, United States of America

The bartender made great drinks and I liked the live music they had later that night
