    I left hostels in my 20s but I overspent so I had to save... and this hostel exceeded my expectations! First of all - it has the cutest interior I have ever seen in a hostel. Second, female only dorm was very clean and I met some European girls....

    Beds are done everyday, place is extremely clean and looked after. Very conviniently located and peaceful. Each dorm has a backdoor patio to chill. There is a beautiful backyard. The kitchen is very well equipped

    The hostel has a beautiful wild garden where you can see many animals. Everything was very clean most of the times. The bed was quite comfortable. It’s located pretty far from the town centre, but close to the beaches which I personally find more...

Karandi Hostel is the perfect place for nature lovers. Recently open, it was built with techniques and materials that allow a better interaction with the environment. Comfort in our rooms was the goal, while visitiing the Tropical Rainforest. Located in the proximities of the Marino Ballena National Park and just 2 km away from Uvita, we offer mixed and female only dorms. All with a lavatory, terrace with garden views and shared bathroom. We introduce the concept of retractible beds in the zone, making possible to increase dorm size and turning rooms private. Spacious gardens, shared kitchen and a small forest we call: Reserva Karandi in which you can spot +70 birds species, mammals and multicolor insects. Even when the area´s main attraction is whale´s sighting, there are multiple options, some of them at walking distance from Karandi. Beaches, waterfalls, rivers and many more, come and enjoy of one of the most biodiverse places in the Planet.
