Perfect price-quality hostel - $10/night in dormitory - very friendly owner

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 Aug 2016
I spent two night at Oro Verde Hostel.
For this price I got everything I needed. A comfortable clean bed in a shared room for 4 persons.
All rooms had sufficient fans so at night the heat was no issue which I highly appreciated.
The Hostel owner Juan is very friendly and helpful. If you have any issue, he will help you. I had several (cell phone broke down so no alarm clock, no universal charger, he let me use his computer).

All in all, a nice place to stay. There were 5 people staying in the room I was in, and all of us thought that the location was perfect, rooms were relatively clean and prices were really good. The owner who went by the name of simply 'jan' was absolutely incredible. Took us to feed Crocodiles and Caymans and even went out in the dark to see florescent Plankton. The only bad part about this hostel is that the room we were in (room 5) had a rancid smell coming from the small bathroom we had in the room. It was a very horrible smell and made just walking around in the room difficult. However, the other rooms that friends stayed in smelt absolutely fine. All in all, good hostel.

Room tip: don't stay in room 5

I arrived late at night in Puerto Jimenez and stayed only one night. The hostel was already fully booked, but the girl working at reception was extremely friendly and helpful. She called the owner. who came to pick me up at the hostel and brought me to his house, where I rented a little studio with kitchen for only US$15.
The studio was clean and had everything you need; bedroom with living room and kitchen. Hostel as well as owner's house are located close to the town center as well as supermarket.
The next morning, Ian, the owner, drove me to the port where I caught a boat to Golfito. Everyone was extremely friendly and I felt really welcomed.
Can totally recommend the place when you go to Puerto Jimenez.
Muchas gracias!

extremely helpful staff: they made our trip way easier and less complicated. They arranged tickets and a guide for the nationalpark and even lend me some equipment!

Of course the rooms are not luxurious, but it´s good for the price you pay. - and it´s clean!

definitely recommend it (espec. for backpackers)!

Owner was absolute lovely! Went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing stay and helped us with groceries walking back from the supermarket/with our bags from the bus station too. He took us to feed alligators and turtles just because he thought it'd be a nice thing to do!
very cheap washing, fast free wifi, good kitchen facilities, comfy beds and fans in all the rooms!
Overall awesome stay and would definitely go back when in Puerto Jiminez

Stayed with large group here twice before completing Osa trail trek and then after.
Owner ~ Manilla (pronounced Man-eu) was super helpful ~ picked us up from bus station with all our backpacks, helped with bus bookings, helped with bookings of meals, took us to see crocodiles/caiman, helped transport our camp food for 5 days for group of 20 from supermarket..... and always greeted us with a smile and "no problem".
Rooms are clean, have fans for some firm of air condition (some rooms have air condition units but this is an extra charge). Beds were comfortable, and rooms had cool showers and clean toilets.
Hostel also offers quick laundry service.
Little supermarket below which is open late - ideal place to buy a cool drink.
Located near bid supermarket and many places to eat, get coffee, and near bakery & fruit shop.
I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone stating in Puerto Jimenez.
