The place itself is a party spot. Not a bad thing just not what we were entirely looking for. Good hostel, but the staff were incredible. Very helpful

It’s really nice, and good value for the money, It’s my first time in a hostel and I liked it, so I guess it’s pretty good

The facilities are good, they have a little of everything which makes it very convenient. Is not that close to the center of Santa Teresa but you can easily get around. Is easy to meet other travelers in the common areas.

I thought there would be some more activities in the evening, at least a bar, like other Selinas. But it was just some people hanging out.
Overall pretty good. Pool was a nice temperature. The room was great, comfortable bed. Everything pretty clean. Location was pretty good, close to some good restaurants.

Best hostel I've stayed in! I can't express how friendly all the other travellers are here. It's like one big happy family! The staff was also really great and super helpful and the surf instructors are some of the coolest people I've met in Costa Rica, and absolute genius'! They have loads of activities on offer and will sort everything for you so you don't have to stress. Would recommend this hostel to anyone staying in Santa Teresa, singles, couples, groups and families!

The shared kitchen is not well equipped. We couldn't find one decent knife to cut a lime.
The hostel offers everything you need for a beautiful and relaxed stay in Santa Teresa. It's close to the beach and has a nice pool. We had a double room with air conditioning and a balcony in the back of the hostel which was cozy and quiet. The staff is super nice and the surf lessons are fantastic. Danny and Robin are the best surf teachers.

“The apartment suite at Selina South is wickedly cool and made it an unforgettable experience.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 4 nights
To be clear here we booked at Selina North but the room for 4 people was not up to my expectations. After 1 night I wanted to cancel the room but was not allowed. Instead we were offered an upgrade to the Selina south property and given a room in return there. I have to say it was the best possible outcome for us to stay there. Made the final part of our trip an amazing experience and would highly recommend staying at the Selina South location at least in the room\suite we were given. I will never forget the kindness and good judgement someone in management made by giving us the suite we got to stay in. I will recommend this property and suite to anyone who wants to stay at a unique and cool apartment in Santa Teresa. I will be back here again next time I visit. Selina did good in my books and i will always remember them fondly. Thank you for the grand gesture you did after being disappointed in the original location. The pool is nice in Selina North but the hostel is for a younger crowd, for an older mature person their south location is where you want to be.

“Too bad confirmation was incorrect and only part of the renovation story. Better luck next time.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
I booked the day before my arrival on Saturday. Saturday I received an additional e-mail stating that the restaurant would be closed as off Monday. Restaurant was already closed when I arrived Saturday, so no drinks or food available on site. A large section of the outside chill out area was closed off with construction work going on in this area throughout the weekend incl. Saturday evening and early Sunday morning. The onsite availability of food and drink plus typically good chill out area had been key reason I had decided to stay here. Too bad information had been incorrect and only covering part of the situation. Should be good though when it is finished.
I travelled alone, booked for 2 nights and had my own room with bathroom. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and bed and pillows very comfortable. Room had functioning airconditioning and fan. The hammock outside my door was nice. Too bad on site construction work was going on including through Saturday evening and from early Sunday morning, which resulted in me using it only briefly.

I had a private room with a shared bathroom, the shared bathroom was locked throughout the day. I received one towel during my seven day stay, the staff does not speak English and were not overly friendly. The area by the pool was full sun, with only I am full of chairs in the shade. Overall, not a bad hostel however I was paying well over $100 USD per night, definitely not worth it.
Proximity to the beach!

Out of the five days we had hot water once in a room that costs $140. They always had someone coming to fix it. Once we were offered a free buffet breakfast with no apology and it cost them nothing to offer that breakfast. Only on the last day when checking out did Patricia at reception apologize about the inconvenience. Service at the bar was slow at the bar at times.
There is a nice atmosphere at this Selina. There were three staff members here that were really good at their job and very helpful and professional. The location and beaches are amazing. Food here was good.
