    Best place in Uvita
    • Leisure trip

    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    The ground floor (basment) doorm can be very dark and damp. You can here other rooms super well as there's no actual walls, but as long everyone respects the quite hour it's ok.

    Big common area with multiple hammocks and space to eat, play games, work, and socialise. Staff was friendly and attentive, happy to answer questions. Because it was rainy season, I was offered an upgrade from the basement dorm to a room in the main building. I didn’t accept it at first because it was a lot smaller and seemed more crowded, but on the last day I asked, and they were still happy to assist and let me take the upgrade. The view is STUNNING. Very chill and pleasant place. If I had to choose between Cascada Verde in the jungle or one of the hostels next to the beach, I would pick this one, even if it’s a 1-hour walk from the beach. With the rain starting at 1pm, it’s nice to have this beautiful and tranquil place for the rest of the day. Also gotta add that I ment many amazing solo travellers here and we spend many evening playing games and having a laugh. All of us kept extending our stay. One more small detail, on the first night, there was a group of people that were quite loud at night, and the hostel offered me a complimentary breakfast for my troubles. I found it was a very sweet and thoughtful gesture. Bonus thats always nice: plenty of showers and bathrooms.

    Can't think of anything to complain about

    Cascada Verde was an ideal place for my first time in Costa Rica, especially as a nature lover Great location, Julie and the staff was very helpful The ladies keep it clean! I love the hammock chair on the balcony and sat there listening to the frogs and bugs every evening I'll return within a year,if the US dollar holds its value Also, it's a great value Thanks 🙏 so much Julie!

    The only thing i could perhaps mention here is that the laundry service is quite expensive (6$/kg) but in return you get your clothes back dried and folded.

    Our stay was fantastic. The hostel is located in the forest, just a 5 min. walk from a waterfall. There's always animals around to observe, and generally it's very peaceful and quiet. There's quiet hours from 10pm to 6am, which are well respected, and we really appreciated this, since we wanted to relax. The place was clean, well equipped (including the kitchen), and comfortable, we especially enjoyed the open second floor and all the hammocks to chill in. You can do yoga, play boardgames or read from their library, there was even an egg painting activity for easter, which was really fun. The staff were super nice and attentive, always open to any questions. We enjoyed the cats' and dogs' company. There is so much information on the things you can do around the hostel, including more waterfalls, walks, and tours. There is also information about bus schedules, nearby restaurants and shops, tide schedules, etc. If you want a relaxing, friendly experience in Uvita, this is definitely the place!

    unfortunately in the middle of the night I had to ask some girls in a room next to mine to stop to talk, there is no sound barriers between the rooms and if guests are unpolite it's a mess. I purchase extra breakfast, I believe the meal quality/quantity could be improved

    location and design absolutely nice, especially the common area.

    Nothing. Maybe that the location was a bit far to reach, quite a hilly walk. But that was all fine and defenitely worth the view of the beautiful house!

    The people and atmosfeer of the hostel. The carefull way they did their work and made sure there was a peaceful atmosphere at all times! This beautiful bamboo house felt like my home for the last couple of Days .

    No privacy in terms of noise in the rooms, as the walls don’t go all the way up to the ceiling.

    Absolutely beautiful surroundings. Nice big common area with plenty of space and seating. Kitchen was also a good size. Free coffee (and plantains!) was a plus! Our room had a nice balcony towards the jungle. Everything was nice and clean. Very close to the Uvita waterfall. Would definitely recommend if you want to be in nature, but don’t want to be isolated from other people (as it is a fairly large hostel).
