Bigfoot has a great location and offers great atmosphere for younger travelers.

There is a bar inside the hostel and with travelers from all around the world, this can make for great conversation and fun times.

The hostel also offers several trip packages, including volcano boarding / hiking at the near Cerro Negro.

The bathrooms can get pretty sloppy.

With that said, I wouldn't recommend this hostel to just any traveler. If you are looking to get some serious r&r or are looking to take in the local flavor, there are a few hostels in the immediate surrounding area that would be more appropriate options. If you want to drink mojitos and mix with young people from all over the world, this place is for you.

I liked Big Foot a lot. The location is nice and the hostel is clean. Also I liked the common area where you can either read by the little pool or watch DVD's or play pool in the 'living room' area. The staff was nice and helpful and they are very environmentally friendly! It is a bit of a hot spot so it can get noisy but when we were there, we didn't have any problems. It was definitely quiet after 11.
I know the owner (Gemma?) has been working on a little farm project too and works with WWOOFers (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms).

Just read a review about the place being noisy. It was true at times but everyone had a good time and for every noisy night there was five quite ones. It is a place for traveler's and people to meet. The staff and the owner's are nice there and vibe is great. Quite possibly the best hostel I have ever stayed in.

Just thought I would let you know!

Me and my girlfriend stayed here in march to read some spanish in a nearby school. A few things destroyed our stay completely. It was very noisy until midnight, even though signs said that it should be quiet at 11pm, also some people who were not staying there hanged there all the time. We talked to Gemma, the manager, but did not get any understanding, and were solely informed that "this is a hostel!, and the rules are not so important as long as people have fun". We tried to get our prepayment back, but it was impossible. I would say this place is not very friendly, unless you do not want to party all the time.
