I was given the contact information for Hostel Bekuo by a friend that lives in Nosara, Costa Rica and frequents San Jose. I had many reservations about staying in a hostel rather than a nice hotel, but when I arrived, I was greeted by an incredibly friendly staff and led into the main common area where they have a pool... more

My friends and I met up in Costa Rica from various places in the United States at Hostel Bekuo. We stayed a total of 4 night of our 10 nights in Costa Rica. We had a wonderful experience there.

We loved our stay at Bekuo.

Our first night, a great impromptu party broke... more

The afternoon a day before we were supposed to stay there (I had emailed the hostel and they told me they had room and we were all set) I received an apologetic email saying that someone else had used a secondary booking site and that our room... more

I stayed at Bekuo for 2 1/2 months last summer. A couple of us were there for school down the street at the Inter-American Court on Human Rights. Storm and the rest of the staff were amazing and unbelievably helpful. We knew little of the country and where to go and what to see. Storm, the owner, is an endless... more

We stayed here based on reviews. We have never stayed at a hostel before but will be open to it in future travels....just not with our kid. Only stayed 1 night.
