Beachfront hostel with all the amenities
Reviewed By KathleenH25Room2Board is a class act beachfront hostel that has claimed its own spot in Jaco. Away from the business of the main strip, Room2Board offers comfortable shared or private rooms with a view in front of a pumping surf break. The bathrooms include showers; additionally, there are common cooking areas, outdoor showers, a beautiful pool, restaurant and bar. For remote workers the co-working space is bar-none. You can stash your stuff in a locker to keep it safe, rent a board from the surf shop if you need one, take a lesson, book a tour, you name it. The prices are competitive and a real deal for what you get. If you are a budget traveler, stay in a shared room for under $20. If price isn't an object, stay more luxuriously in a private room. The owner Brian takes pride in his masterpiece accommodation and his friendly staff hails from all over the world. You will be content to just hang in the bar/restaurant area all day long or relaxing in the state of the art pool. Hands down one of the best places to stay in Jaco. As an experienced hosteler, I can confidently say that Room2Board's value can not be beat.

One of the best experiences in Jaco
Reviewed By Tephy_GuzmanThis was my first time traveling solo and staying at a hostel so I was pretty nervous but the staff was very nice from the moment I checked in to the moment I checked out. It was raining quite badly when I arrived but that didn't stop me from enjoying my time there. They offer a totally unique experience in cylinder rooms and I cannot wait to go back!

Muchas gracias!
Reviewed By Wiebke DThanks a lot Marisela for helping us organizing our trip to Montezuma. Was such a pleasure, we absolutely recommend the Buddha hostel - very very nice service, also the location is pretty good. Cafes, stores, restaurants and beach are next to the hostel. Very beautiful place. :-) Muchas gracias, tres chicas de Alemania

Good on a budget
Reviewed By Kathleen EI have stayed at this place a few times when visiting Jaco. It is a block from the beach and the included breakfast and entrance to Jaco Blu (a swimming pool bar near by) is a definite plus. The rooms are basic, but nice enough. The biggest negative is the street noise. Ask for an inside room or download a white noise app! If you are looking for a party hostel, this is not it. Mostly couples, small groups of friends or small families.

Nice comfortable and friendly guest house whith shared kitchen equiped, tv and read room....Arrounded trees and green zone...Peacefully zone near the down town, 1 km and 200 mts to the beach
Lovely Hostel
Reviewed By Deborah7998They staff was very nice & helpful. They are a very close walk to the beach, less then 5 minutes & close to town. The breakfast was delicious, was very social and it was great meeting other guests. The back yard was beautiful and very relaxing. I had a nice nap in a Hammock in the beautiful backyard. The guests ranged in ages from 57 to 23. I would not hesitate to go back. There is a bus stop very close that will take you to the San Jose airport. Very convenient and easy way to get to the airport.

Great place to chill and recharge
Reviewed By Evita ZThis is one of most welcoming hostels with its owner Maxi, that makes you feel like home right after your arrival. When needed he can pick you up from Jaco (Hako) or the bus stop, so you can save some colones otherwise spent on taxi. The hostel is in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood so you can feel really safe here and without buzzy city noise. Still, you are close to the city - 10 min drive to the centre. Bonus: here is a free parking space for your own or rented car. Rooms are nice and clean, with Air Conditioning. Available private rooms and also bunk-beds shared with other solo travellers. Feels like home while watching some movies in the living room together with other hostel guests between swimming in the pool and sunbathing. The kitchen provides all that's necessary to cook your own meal, but 15min walking distance there is Playa Hermosa that has some really good restaurants. Closest shop for most necessary things is only 60m away from the hostel. For those who like to explore surroundings, it's possible to do some trekking in the neighbourhood and find perfect viewpoints to see the Ocean and jungle from the top, especially great for sunsets, just be ready to climb quite a steep road. In the breakfast, you can choose between pancakes or toast that is freshly made for you as soon as you wake up. During the week it's perfect for groups of friends and/or families that want just to chill, relax, have some BBQ, but during Fridays and Saturdays they open a bar, so you can have a backyard party together with other guests that fast become your best friends because of the chill atmosphere. You can be sure that you will get the best from your stay.
8. Riva Hostel Jaco
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 61 reviews
A new lodging option in Jaco Beach, Only 2 blocks away from the beach. We promise a completely clean place, spotless: what everybody is looking for. One of the cheapest but with an incomparable experience given by a chill atmosphere. 100 m away from the main avenue, where you can find all the nightlife, restaurants and stores. Our Hostel is the most conveniently located, where you can go party at night and go back and rest without interruption, with out loud music on your ear! Shared rooms or really cool private tents with their own lighting and electricity and fan, designed by us, check out the pictures! Our hostel is 100% Costarrican. Spanish, English, and Italian spoken. You won't regret it! 100 m east (opposite to the sea) from KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)
Horrible experience
Reviewed By WinstosworldI registered for a room and they refused to let me enter. It was 2:15am and I was told they were closed. I had a paid registration and I was forced to wander the streets looking for a place to sleep. I'm a foreigner and I was told I can't come inside to safety. This Hostel put my life in jeopardy!!!

A completely new way to stay, explore and work. Whether you're a digital nomad, an adventurous backpacker, a surfer seeking paradise, or you're on a family vacation, you've come to the right place. In Isa's Hostel you will find: walks and sunsets on the beach, a vibrant city, incredible views from the viewpoints of the city, come create memories and enjoy.
Could be good but isn't
Reviewed By huntforgoodtimesThe hostel had the potential but was not utilising it. The entrance was uninviting and closed most of the time. The receptionist was rather useless giving me the wrong directions a couple of times (however it must be said that the cleaner was useful). The kitchen had no utensils to cook with and the pans were struggling, there still remained a rice cooker which was broken. There were dorms unused when our dorm was full of 8 people and you could not walk on the floor without a struggle due to there being no space with people's bags. In the morning I tripped over and hurt myself when it was dark as there was no floor space. The toilet & shower is shared between 16 people and they are not separate so you may be left waiting for a long time and often a queue formed. The WiFi was so poor I gave up on it and went to the Selina down the beach and used there's at the bar. The beds however are comfy.

とても安いがバスターミナルから距離がある
Reviewed By Suzan8955朝食付きなのに他にない格安の価格設定である（ベッドやシャワールームの古さは気になる人は気になるレベル）が、唯一の欠点として長距離バスターミナルからかなり遠く、ハコの街を横断して30分以上の歩く距離。
