Well, I have stayed here twice now for a total of 3 nights. It is very low-key and close to the San Pedro Mall. There is easy access to Barrio Chino for great food. The owner is a cool, nice fella. There were some mosquitos, but that is just Costa Rica.

What a great hostel! The staff are all extremely helpful with anything you need and they are very knowledgeable about traveling anywhere in costa rica. The beds are comfortable, breakfast is decent and free, and the common room is nice too with games, lots of DVDs, a great book exchange, and space to relax. My only (minor) complaint is that... More

Thank you so much for your compliments and constructive criticism. We strive for cleanliness 100% of the time, but I realize, unfortunately, that it's not always "hostel" possible :) We are also strict on our kitchen quiet hours that begin at 11:00 pm, so I am extremely sorry if there any noise beyond that time. We hope to see you... More

We stayed here both on arrival in San Jose and for the night before we departed at the end of our trip. The hostel is about a 15 minute walk from Downtown San Jose and had a nearby supermarket and mall. The hostel is clean and comfortable and the breakfast is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Thanks... More

First, maybe we are too old and seeking to much comfort to sleep in a hostel. Still, our reservation was made with hostel bookers and that caused problems. The staff did manage it but it seemed complicated. The bed was broken and falling aside when one of us woud get up. We were under heavy attack with a flock of... More

Nobody is too old for a hostel :) Thank you for your review. I looked into the problem with the bed. It wasn't broken, but I could see what you were talking about how it lifted up a little. It is now fixed... so thank you for helping us make our hostel better. I also understand that there may be... More

We stayed here in Feb 2013 and weren't able to get a private room. We stayed in the 8 bed dorm for two nights. It was a nice hostal, the staff were super helpful and welcoming and had excellent knowledge of the area and San José. The shared areas were clean and although breakfast was sparse, the kitchen was well... More

WOW!!! I wish I would have known that something was taken from the fridge...few things awaken my inner detective more than food thievery. I am so sorry that happened here. We usually have pretty respectful guests, but I guess your experience was a bit different. Thank you for all of the great compliments...not sure if you woke up in time... More

I enjoyed very much both times I stayed there. Had all the help I needed from the staff, yummy breakfast. Staying in other places in Costa Rica where the plumbing was not heated, I was very happy to find hot water here!! (Not that I needed it to be hot, but then I could have its temperature my way!)

Hidden away in the middle of San Juan, Hostel Bekuo is incredibly friendly and really well set out….just a shame we only spent one night between buses. Our room was pleasant but it’s the shared areas that are the star attraction. The city may not be that great but this place is well worth staying in if you happen to... More
