I loved my stay at La Tribu, it’s an amazing hostel and I was so relaxed there. Well equipped kitchen, beautiful common area, really friendly employees, bike rental (for 6$), everything in town is in close walking distance. I didn’t even mind to share the room with 7 others because there are toilets and showers outside in addition to the room’s bathroom.

I highly recommend visiting this place—Pablo, the owner, makes you feel right at home. The rooms are comfortable, the kitchen is well-equipped, and they offer free coffee. The facilities are being renovated, and the cleanliness is noticeable throughout. Plus, the natural surroundings draw you in, with two friendly pets and plenty of open spaces to enjoy a getaway from the city and breathe fresh air. It's my favorite spot in Puerto Viejo. I arrived as a guest and left as a friend.

The vibe, the community, the music, the creativity, the location (on the beach) and just close enough to walk or cycle into the main town and Playa Cocles also. The relaxed environment. Diversity of people that stayed there. Great if travelling with teens.

Best hostel in Puerto Viejo! Had an amazing stay once again. I keep coming back here. The staff is amazing, always willing to help or just chat with you. It has everything you need and is located in between town and cocles beach. Both are walking distance which is really nice. Recommend anyone to stay here!
