+There is a nice kitchen, the AC in the room works at night and it cools it for the rest of the day. Nice restrooms, and the room itself with the bed is well built and equipped.
−It's far from the town so getting back from the whale tour (transportation back not included) required almost half an hour walk back in the sun. In the public spaces it's hot, and there aren't many fans to cover that.

“An amazing, friendly hostel close to the beach with phenomenal hospitality and pickleball!”
+I loved the homey feeling of this place! The staff are incredibly nice and friendly, and the owner truly went above and beyond. I didn't realize that Sander plays pickleball until he offered to be my mixed doubles partner so I could join the open play at the local club. Even though it's just a 9-minute walk from the hostel, he actually drove me right to the courts! For a solo traveler, this is a wonderful place to stay because it makes you feel like you have a family around you. Of course, it's ideal for couples too. It's a close walk to the beach, or you can rent a bike to explore Uvita.
−I was only unhappy about the fact that I could only stay for one day! To be honest, I cannot think of a single negative thing. It was a pleasant, short stay that made me want to remain much longer. It truly felt like home to me, and I definitely want to come back and stay longer next time.

“Loved it 😍😍😍”
+Loved the vibe here! Really relaxed vibe. Wonderful location! Close to beaches and waterfalls and a super market but tucked away from the street. Kitchen had all the tools you could need. Showers were hot! Beds were comfy!
−It advertised AC when in reality it's only the sleeping area that has AC, the rest of the hostel is open air. And even in the sleeping area the AC isn't turned on til about 8pm

“Very clean and comfortable stay in Uvita”
+We really enjoyed our time at this hostel in Uvita. The location is directly on the main road, which was perfect for us since we had rented a car. It’s easy to find and very convenient as a base for exploring the area. The hostel itself is very clean and nicely decorated, and we appreciated the attention to detail , even small touches like a pleasant scent in the room and an essential oil diffuser made the space feel welcoming. We stayed in a dorm that offered a large bed suitable for couples, which we really liked. The beds were comfortable, had their own power sockets, and offered a good level of privacy, making the stay very comfortable overall.
−What we slightly missed was a more social atmosphere. Although there are several common areas, which is usually a positive aspect, they felt a bit too spacious for the number of guests staying there. As a result, it didn’t naturally encourage interaction as much as we had hoped, and it was easier for people to keep to themselves. Aside from that, we don’t have any real negative points and would gladly stay here again when visiting Uvita.
