Amazing ocan view from the hostel, I spent a lot of time in one of the hammocks, reading books, meditating and feeling simply happy! The most beatiful sunrises and the persistant sound of the ocean are exceptional. The staff is really helpful and great, inspirational backpackers travellers from different parts of the globe. I met also great local friends from Costa Rica and visited so many beautiful places and even pool parties in Cabuya:)

I loved my stay at this hostel :) The energy is amazing here and it is really easy to meet new friends here! Additionally the hostel is super close to the beach and has a great location! I was worried that there would be no AC in my 4-bed mixed dormitory because it is not listed, however they had AC in I think all rooms. There was also a super cute cat that was very entertaining!

Highly Recommend! WOW! Our stay at ICO Living Hostel in Santa Teresa was unforgettable. We booked the apartment, and it was perfect—amazing balcony, spacious outdoor kitchen, and a chill area that made it feel like our own tropical paradise. We even had regular visits from monkeys and iguanas, which felt totally unreal! The staff were exceptional—so friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. They made us feel right at home, and the ambience was laid-back and welcoming, perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. Thank you so much - Marco, Augustin and Brandon! The location is unbeatable—close to everything, 5 minutes walk from the beach and local restaurants. Honestly, ICO Living Hostel is the only place I’d stay in Santa Teresa. Don’t hesitate. Just go there.

Everything was more than great. After 1 day i already felt like home there. Especially the whole team made the stay awesome! Super close to the beach, nice shared kitchen and open spaces to get to know people easily. Came there twice, at the beginning and at the end of the trip, bc I already missed Eso. Would 12/10 recommend and always come back. Eva, Austria

My stay was absolutely amazing! The place is super clean and has everything you need for an epic vacation! You're just two blocks from the ocean and one block from the main street, perfect location. But what really makes this place special are the hosts, Lenin and Chelsea- they'll make you feel like part of the family! Thanks for an unforgettable experience!!

the staff absolutely made this hostel! so friendly and happy to help with everything from the minute we got there. they make everyone feel so welcome - there is a lovely social but chilled atmosphere here. it is located between the north and south of santa teresa so both are in easy walking distance despite it feeling a little out of town. the dorms were small but it didnt matter as we had curtains which felt very private. my favourite hostel of the trip

The place is great for a female solo traveller. The owner is very nice, has great info about the area and shares a great ethos. The beds were very comfy and spacious. I also had a nice locker on wheels where I could put my stuff. The dormer is for females only and after 10 pm it's quiet zone. I made friends here but also managed privacy.

All hostels in Montezuma

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Helpful staff (they helped us book a shuttle to Playa Del Coco), clean facilities, beautiful patio/outdoor areas to hang out, quiet, great location, coffee available in the morning, lots of lines to hang wet towels, clothes and swim suits. Overall a nice spot for the budget traveler.

    The hostel is a real old style hostel, don’t expect to come to a 4 star hotel for the price you’re paying. We had a basic simple private room with a shared bathroom, from the room you can hear everything but again it’s a hostel, that’s okay. The structure it’s very tico style. The community inside was really friendly and nice. If you’re looking for a place on a budget in Montezuma and at 1 minute from the center, this is the place to come!

    The hosts Gustavo and Regis made me feel very welcome and at ease immediately. The hostel is perfectly located in Rio, whether you like museums, party, beaches, food, walks... The hostel organizes lot of activities like a fun karaoke, so you can mingle easily and meet new people. There are many cool - day or less - trips possible to do, like hikes to magnificent view points. Also the hostel itself is just beautiful, with greenery, cosy terrace, grandeur from the past and still very ready for the 21st century! 10/10 or more!
