Booked for 4 days, left after 1 day
The location is very beautiful especially the lovely garden. Almost all the beds have old matrasses where you feel the iron wires digging in your back. When I came back to the hostel the second day staying here I noticed my backpack was moved from the place where I put it and when I talked to the owner about this he was rude and said he was cleaning. I said that does not matter, nobody touches my stuff when I am not there. He did not agree and did not understand my issue, did not even say he was sorry. Luckily he gave me back some of the money for the remaining days and I got out of there.
What a beautiful hostel!
Casa Jungla's interior is really beautiful! I particularly like the outdoor dining area which looks like a jungle. It offered the real "pura vida" vibe. My favourite thing about this hostel is their breakfast! Veronika served us pancakes with almonds - it's the best pancake I ever had! If you are going on a road trip (rent a car) like what we did, Casa Jungla has a private parking lot, too!
Amazing, would go again and again and again
Nice location, literally 5 minutes walk to either the beach, the nearest small (very small) shop, a bar and a diner. Breakfast's tasty (although very light), the yard with the seats/hammock/couches is fantastic (there are few funny lizards and tons of birds), bed's comfortable, and the atmosphere's great! Free bicycle (for the first hour) and you can reach the town centre in literally 5 minutes (cycling, I'd avoid walking). Kitchen's nice, beach's perfect. The road can be quite noisy, allocate fridge space is kinda limited. NOT RELATED TO THE HOSTEL: keep in mind the nearest beach bar (Aloha Bar and Grill) is kinda a tourist trap
Feels like home!
Second time staying at this hostel and I would definitely come back again. As soon as you pass the front door of Casa Jungla, you’re struck by the soothing power of the lush vegetation that surrounds the house. The back garden with couches and hammocks is a perfect place to chill and read and observe lizards, squirrels and iguanas in the trees! This place feels more like staying at somebody’s home rather in a hostel. The backyard has an open kitchen and swings around the dinner table. Francisco has great taste in music and usually has some nice playlists on during the day - this is not a party hostel with sh*tty music and people at the reception on their phones. To each their own... but if you’re after a place that’s calm, you should consider it! You can rent surfboards and bikes there, and it’s only a 2-mn walk to the southern end of Jaco beach. Super friendly atmosphere!
Cozy place with lovely hosts
We initially wanted to stay just for 2 nights but ended up staying around 6 nights because we loved the hostel and the city Jacó! :) The host has been so kind and helpful when we needed information about the city. You can walk to the center but the hostel provides 2 bikes (in total) so this is a bit faster. Hope you'll enjoy your stay as much as we did :)
