I have stayed about Selina many times, It’s great that’s why I keep coming back, Except this time, the bathroom had two leaks, one Was coming from the ceiling from the air air conditioning pipe, and then the faucet had another leak. But that wasn’t the worst part, There’s a receptionist, Short blonde, Who has the worst demeanor, I have noticed that before, God forbid she cracks a smile, And at the time of check out, she didn’t even say thank you or goodbye, Specially, annoying the inconveniences I had had in the bathroom Just rude! The rest of the staff are fantastic. The guys at the restaurants are great, Jesse and Caroline and all of them!

Amazing locstion and amenities. It was set up to be easy to meet people so i went out with a group at nights and chatted by the pool. The views from the top of the hill were amazing, but walkong back was a serious workout. A few monutes from the beach, the national park, and Quepos. Restaurant food was excellent. Their speed and responsiveness was jmpressive. My door broke and it was fixed within 15 minutes. I needed to reschedule a booked appointment and they did it without fanfare or fuss. Local staff who know the lay of the land can suggest things to do besides the tours.

This hostel was great for the 2 nights I stayed. The bus stop is right outside the property and can take you to the beach for less than $1. You can also walk to the beach but I don’t recommend since it is very hilly and there really isn’t a sidewalk. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. Staff is very helpful and answered all our questions about the town dining potions etc.

Place in paradise

This place on its own was pretty nice but when you take it in conjunction with the staff the services and the experience they provide, for me personally, it was simply perfect, I could not have asked for nothing more. Paula and other staff were amazing. Most of the activities and help I received was from Paula ajd it genuinely felt as if she did care about my safety and well being in addition to the experience I had. Ive stayed in what many would consider higher end hotels and resorts and I've never felt as welcomed and as at home as I did here. This was my first experience at a Selina hostel and I absolutely will be coming back with.

Ignore the other reviews

Okay so, I saw a lot of negative reviews after we booked this so was quite worried HOWEVER this hostel/hotel was PERFECT I can confirm there is no construction at the moment (stayed at the end of Jan 23) and the pool cushions are brand new :) We had a lovely suite with aircon and a fan, reception and housekeeping were all so lovely! Quick check in :) Breakfast was good, if it’s not included in your stay you can buy a ticket for $8 at reception which is cheaper than buying it from the a La carte menu! Overall it was the best place we stayed in during our trip and was worth the price, made our last few days so fun! pS , there is a bus to and from the beach (like 3 minutes) for less than 400 colones and it can stop right outside the hotel xxx

Great place to meet people!

I had the experience of staying in a solo room and a dorm style. The dorm style bed was much more comfortable compared to the other. Overall the accommodations were nice nothing special. The reason you stay a Selina is to be at the heart of where people meet. I met people from all over there. I would stay again but the price is high for what u get.
