    The location of the hostel is a short walk from the main road and close to a beautiful beach. the rooms are simple but have comfortable beds, towels, and mosquito net windows. the staff is friendly and helpful, and the hostel is equipped with two kitchens and plenty of showers and bathrooms.

    The shared bathrooms could be cleaned more frequently and the sheets and pillows could be of better quality.

    The jungle location is amazing, with the sounds of howler monkeys and jungle creatures creating a magical atmosphere. the rustic charm of the buildings adds to the experience, and the fans are much needed in the humid climate. the owners are lovely and always eager to hear about your day. Don't miss out on the exquisite coffee they make in the mornings. perfect for nature lovers and a peaceful stay.

    Felt very happy, no reason to complain.

    I had an amazing time staying at a lovely hostel in the jungle! The hosts, Hagith and Martin, were incredibly welcoming and made my stay even more enjoyable. The private room in the tree house was cozy and comfortable. Waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys was a unique experience. The breakfast provided was generous and delicious. The location was perfect, close enough to town but still secluded enough to enjoy the beauty of nature. The staff members, like Anna and Sofi, were friendly and helpful. The hostel had plenty of space to relax and socialize, including an outdoor cinema. Despite a few minor inconveniences, like the room being next to the kitchen, I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

    The atmosphere in the jungle was amazing. Waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys and falling asleep to the sounds of cicadas and frogs was truly magical. The breakfast provided was generous and delicious, with a variety of options including toast, honey, cream cheese, jam, fruit salad. The location was also great, offering a peaceful and tranquil setting away from the busy city center. Renting bikes was a convenient way to explore the area.

    The staff seemed disorganized and not customer-oriented. When we arrived, our rooms weren't ready and when we returned from the beach, our beds were not properly assigned.

    We got great value for our money at Madre Selva. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a cozy vibe. The location was perfect, tucked away from the busy main road, and surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. The staff treated us like family, always ready to lend a hand and make our stay enjoyable.

    The breakfast experience could be improved with more variety of options.

    I had an exceptional stay at a lovely jungle hostel with wonderful hosts. The location was peaceful, yet still close to Puerto Viejo. The owners, Haggith and Martin, made me feel like part of their family. The dorms were spacious and quiet, and the hostel was clean and well-maintained. I made great connections with other guests and felt grateful for the beautiful community at Madre Selva. I highly recommend staying here.

    Surrounded by nature, with monkeys and sloths, this cozy hostel offers a yoga deck and is close to the beach and supermarket. The staff is friendly and helpful, and you can rent bicycles for a short ride to the center. Enjoy a delicious breakfast and amazing food prepared by the chef.

    Loved being surrounded by nature and listening to the sounds of the jungle. the breakfast was delicious with a nice variety of fruit and toast. - the location was great, close enough to the beach but away from the crowds.

    There were too many cockroaches in the room, which was a major turn-off. The room was extremely hot and the fan was noisy, making it difficult to sleep.
