Stayed there 2 nights. We were 2 girls the first night so we booked a double bedroom w/ shared bathroom in the main house. The bedroom was right next to the terrace where people was relaxing. 2night we were in a dormitory, as we were 5. Less noisy as the dormitory is at the back of the house. Despite the... More

We stayed for 3 nights in the new annex building. We paid 35 dollars a night for a two bed private bathroom room. Jaco Inn has a main building with a kitchen, tv room, dorms and porch with chairs and hammocks, an old annex building and a new annex building with 4 rooms (two bed private bathroom). Our room in...

I spent a night in Jaco on a Saturday night while not finding any other option. The dorm was OK, although the cleanliness could really improve! There was a leech in the shower and a few other insects dead on the floor in corners of the room. So Yes, we are in a tropical place, but still... The lady of... More

This hostel was very nice, just within minutes to Jaco beach, rooms were clean and nice, we met a great backpackers over there and service of this place was great too. We stayed in the private rooms so we cannot comment on dormitories

The staff is not friendly. We had a horrible room upstairs. It's not really a room, it has weird plastic windows covered with shower curtains. We changed to Buddha House - same price and sooooo much better!!

I can´t belive that somebody could like this hostal. It is dirty and looks very poor. Unfortunately we had no choice as it was very late. I wouldn´t stay there for the next night even if I were paid. The only good thing was the porch.

I've stayed here last year and then again this year for 3 nights. The rooms are reasonable, $12 pp/night for the dorms. The parking lot has a locking gate if you are worried about getting your rental car broken into. There are a few different caretakers, and only one that I've met doesn't speak much English, but I saw other... More

I stayed there for one night with a friend in a dorm, which was comfortable and quite. It´s just a 3 min walk away from the beach and located in the centre of Jaco which makes it even more difficult to be a quite location. Next to the hostel is the Tabacon, where you could have real good coffee in... More

Really great place, Raul is an awesome host and very knowlegable. If you need any tips or help planning your next stop after Jaco, Raul can help. Right downtow Jaco yet far eough from the road you feel secluded, plus Luna is an excellent gaurd dog. Higly suggest checking it out had a blast!!
