My two friends and I stayed at the Hotel Kangaroo for four nights during our stay in Jaco. We had a triple room with an ensuite bathroom. The room was very clean and comfortable for the three of us. Although the best part of the hotel lies in its staff. They were very helpful in giving us advice on things... More

We stayed in Jaco for 3 days 2 nights and arranged an airport pickup to our hotel. Definitely worth the extra $ to start your trip not figuring out how to catch a bus down and getting a taxi with bare minimum Spanish. Also a great tip to work on your Spanish. But most people speak English in jaco. Arriving... More

20 min walk outside of town, pretty much deserted beach, awesome team, great vibes. Such a perfect place to go to chill out by the pool or a three minute walk to the Pacific. The guys are super helpful and so cool. The pets are all friendly and cute. I've stayed here a couple times now and I plan on... More

Very well located hostel, not too far from town and very close to the beach. However, the staff wasn't always easy to locate on property for information/check-in/out. The room itself was fine and clean. The bathroom had a really weird smell (rotten eggs or mold...) The kitchen was quite dirty and the common space were not that clean either. Since... More

The best advantage of the hostel is that it is a 20 minute walk to Jaco in a less touristy area. It is really close to the beach. Also, the beach is less crowded there and cleaner than in town. Very basic rooms that could be cleaned up better. Front balcony and hammock are good. Staff is friendly but not... More

This Place got the most friendly and helpful staff that you can find in costa rica. You don´t have to think of it, BOOK it! It's located next to the beach, they have a nice and clean pool, perfect hangout area and you can easy borrow a bike and get to the town in 5min. They help you to book... More

Imagine coming back from a day trip, finding all your belongings outside your room. It's not a joke, it's a true story of what they did to us in hotel kangaroo. They 'forgot' to tell us that our room is booked and we need to check out. When we got back at 18:30 pm we found out that there are... More

It was my first time in Costa Rica and I booked the Kangaroo blindly just to have a room the week of New Years not really knowing what to expect. It turned out to be a hidden gem and one of my favorite places after traveling 3 weeks in Costa Rica. Its a simple place with 7 or so rooms... More

I stayed here about a year ago with 3 friends and we shared a 4-person dorm. The accommodations were very basic and the rooms were hot, but it was nice to have a pool and the outside shower. A less crowded part of the beach is a short walk from the hostel, so we got to experience a beautiful sunset... More
