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.

    The staff and community they have created make Finca Mystica the best place we have stayed throughout our trip through Central America. I was a bit concerned about being isolated and having all dinners at the hostel but this really works perfectly and the food is great.

    This is a 10 from the heart. A very nice family, good food, great location. During the night, you can enjoy a sky full of stars. In the morning, at breakfast , there was a group of howler monkeys very close to us. Sunset views are great as well. The last bus from Moyogalpa to Merida leaves at 4.40pm and it’s a 2 hours trip. There is a sign on the left side of the road just as you leave Merida, the bus will drop you there. Otherwise, it’s a 20-30$ taxi trip. You can have lunch and dinner as well, food was delicious.

    The home stay is amazing and not located in a crowded area with hostels. Teresa, the owner, is such a smart and lovely person. Her animals (dogs, cats, chicken) are amazing too.

    Loved my 4 nights here. The staff were super nice and helpful and served delicious food in enormous portions. It’s definitely not a party hostel, but the communal dinners made for a really nice and sociable atmosphere. Plus a beautiful, tranquil setting, lovely garden full of monkeys, cute dogs, double bed in the dorm, loads of hammocks… and great value when I booked (start of rainy season).
