When I came to Las Camas from San Jose I didn't have a clue how my staying there will end. Edit the owner was really excited to meet an Eastern European guy and I joined her and two other guys in some garden maintenance works. Later that day other people arrived and it felt like we were friends for years.... More

I think it was a very interesting place. It wasn't the cleanest but clean enough. It was a little cramped because it's just a basic house. But Edit was very sweet and made us feel very welcome. Everyone chipped in $5 one night and she made everyone in the hostel a Hungarian dinner which was delicious. But I stayed here... More

We stayed in Las Camas several times during our trip to Costa Rica. We kind of used it as our home base and every time we came back it was like coming home. Edit was so caring and generous! Every Wednesday there is a bondfire at the beach and on Easter we all painted eggs and had a family style... More

Las Camas is not for everybody, but if your looking to meet a bunch of awesome travellers and party a bit, this place is for you. I've been to Las Camas a few times and it's always been fun, the owners are great (they're running the hostel because they like the lifestyle, not to grab as much money as possible... More

This was my first trip to Costa Rica, and I found Las Camas by way of Trip Advisor reviews right here. Edit and Chaba were great hosts, they are both absolutely the most wonderful Hungaricans you could hope to find anywhere. I stayed for a week, then headed South to Dominical, but made sure I came back before leaving from... More

I can see why people would like this hostel for fun, partying and hanging out. I like all those things too but also like privacy and cleanliness of which there is neither! The outdoor shower, toilets and sinks are filthy. It was quite obviously a long time since any of them were cleaned. The rooms are a basic as it... More

This place offers a warm welcome to every traveller! It is filled with friendly and people, and has a laid-back vibe. You can hang out with other guests in the backyard, rent a board or bike for a few bucks a day and just enjoy the time in this surfer's nest. There is a kitchen to cook your own food... More

It seems this Place has changed since it was last voted for here. I stayed in June 2012. The Hostel is a nice place, perfect for backpackers on a low budget. A bed in the dorm is 11 bucks during the low Season. The owners are very welcoming and helpful. Theres a common kitchen that is clean and a cool... More
