Traveller reviews
Johanna “Superb”
09 Jul 2025
Gonzalo is a really nice host who makes the best breakfast and always gives good tips on how to get around the area and what to do there. The Hostel is really nice in the middle of the jungle which makes staying there already half the experience.
Natalia “Highly recommended”
03 Jul 2025
One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The owner, Gonzalo, really puts his soul into this place and you can see it in tiny details like night sky projectors in every room. I will happily stay here again if I come back to Puerto Viejo.
Antonela “I have enjoyed my stay at Smile Jungle, and would recommend to others.”
01 Jul 2025
The Hostel is located in a special silent location, surrounded by jungle and plenty of wild animals. The breakfast was freshly cooked every morning, with love and attention, and you could feel it in the taste. Both Gonzalo and his mother were very friendly, helpful and you could feel the cosy atmosphere🥰

We loved staying in Smile Jungle Hostel, from the first minute to the last. Gonzalo is an amazing host and this was our favourite accommodation in Central America. You feel right at home because everything you could possibly need is available and Gonzalo is always so warm and positive. Bonus points for su madre and for showing us our first sloth! 😊 Gracias por todo!
