  We previously stayed at Hostel Backpackers La Fortuna in 2017 and found it to have good value for money. Unfortunately this time we did not have the same experience. The room was fine, but the bathroom was not. There was a disgusting stench coming from the bathroom and after some investigating we found a large hole by the plumbing which had been covered where we found rodent droppings. Additionally, the ceiling was a repulsive colour which we’re assuming is a direct correlation with the rodents. We will not be returning to any of their locations.

  Seriously bad business practices basically scammers. We we’re driving in from San Jose booked within three hours for the 10 instead of the 9th an honest mistake. When we arrive they said they had space for 9th but we also had to stay the 10th because it would be charged as a cancellation. How is it a cancellation if you didn’t even know for 3 days we were coming? We had literally just max the reservation same day!! They basically don’t give a damn about customer service. We refused to stay on 9th found an Airbnb and I’m definitely going to fight the charge with credit card

  Nice location. Super friendly and helpful staff. Our room was spacious and clean, with toilet and shower. Generally poor WiFi which didn't reach our room. Guest kitchen and pool table seemed to be old and not well kept. We generally had a good stay. Reason for low rating is that we booked our room less than a week in advance and they did not mention that they were in the middle of a months long construction project. It didn't bother us much since our stay was short, but they really should tell customers these things.

  I have stayed at Backpackers all five times I have visited La Fortuna and have enjoyed my stay every time. The dorm rooms are clean and spacious (especially the mixed dorm with all beds on the floor) and the private rooms are a nice budget option for a couple. It is generally quiet at night other than the street noise and you can enjoy some delicious drinks at the bar for a good price. The staff have been very helpful in booking tours and offering advice and deals for the best hot springs in the area (highly recommend Baldi with a meal!). If you are driving, there is a private, secure parking lot, which unfortunately filled up the last time we went. The newer staff member from New York was not very accommodating when this happened and did not offer any advice on where to park out of the lot in order to keep the car safe, but other than this experience, I have had nothing but positive interactions with staff and an overall great stay here.

  Nice hostel with friendly staff. And we got a welcome cocktail! There are several bars and pools (even one bar-in-a-pool) and kitchens with basic tools. It's in the very center so shops and restaurants are close. The bad: our room (101) was in a far corner close to the street (noisy) and had no mirror in the bathroom nor ANY spot to hang clothes or towels to dry. That's very annoying when you went swimming or just... Any time. And the lights are those very cold white ones that I don't like (but that might be cultural)
