What Our Guests Say

Real reviews from real adventurers

"The Beer Pong Tournament had me laughing until 2AM. My team won a round and it was epic. The pool area is paradise, cold beers are cheap, and the staff actually remember your name. This hostel gets what travelers want—genuine connection and unbeatable vibes."

"Blackout absolutely ruined me for every other hostel ever. The pool parties are insane, the staff genuinely care about your experience, and I made friends I still talk to daily. I came for a week and stayed three. Best decision ever."

"Die Salsa Night war legendär! The energy here is completely different. Everyone is actually interested in meeting people, not just scrolling phones. My room mates from night one became my adventure buddies. Highly recommend the Jungle Trek."

"Como colombiana, la Salsa Night was amazing! Everyone on the dance floor, even the tourists who cannot dance, and nobody judging. That is the energy I was looking for. The private balcony room was the perfect place to recover before the next adventure. I will definitely return."

"Que lugar incrível! The VIP Suite made my bachelor party perfect. Our crew felt like royalty while staying connected to the entire party scene. The welcome shots, the balcony overlooking everything, the sound system—10/10. Meus amigos ainda falam disso."

"Honestly thought I was too old for hostel life, but Blackout proved me wrong. The Recovery Brunch brought me back every Sunday. Met people from everywhere, experienced actual Costa Rica beyond the tourist trail, and had the best time. Cheers to the lads at the bar."

"Finally a hostel that understands that solo travelers need community. The all-female dorm is perfect—actually felt safe and made instant friends. Events are well-organized, the pub crawl was wild, and the staff are solid humans. Only minor thing: breakfast could be bigger."

"The Beach Bonfire on Saturday was pure magic. Sunset, fire, acoustic guitars, and genuine human connection. The Jungle Trek was educational and thrilling. My only wish? More chill activities mixed in with the party schedule. But the vibe is unmatched."
