I am a seasoned traveler and have stayed at mostly high-end hotels, throughout most of my travels. In this economy, not so much anymore. I was a bit apprehensive booking in a "hostel" but, since it was with a group, arranged by the owners, I dove in to the hostel experience. Let me say, while they do cater to hostel... More

We picked Blue Trailz because of the location near the beach, great selection of surfboard rentals, they had a room that could accomodate four people in seperate beds, a little kitchenette... and the price was right.. Being billed as a 'hostel', we were honestly apprehensive (four >50 surfers on a road trip and hostel didn't seem right) But our fears... More

When I first walked in to ask for details I was a tad dubious about staying because I thought it would be expensive due to the fact its located in the main street close to everything, but it was really affordable and nice! The owners were also very friendly and helpful.

I stayed at the Blue Trailz Hostel in Tamarindo in March/April 2011(I was unable to select the correct date). I showed up without a reservation and was able to get a shared room easily. It was clean, showers were warm, environment was so chill, and the owners/workers were great. It's a secure hostel which I really liked and it's located... More

Had a great time. The owners are very nice and helpful :). They showed us around and took us to the festival to nearby town. The rooms are nice for a hostel, and beach is literally 1-2 minutes walk. On my visit again, I would surely stay at Blue Trailz.

I've spent the last 5 months living in Costa Rica and must say, this has been the best hostel I've stayed at by far. Small amenities like a/c, a key to lock up your belongings in your room, and a shower located in your room separate this hostel from the rest immediately in my opinion (not to mention the bed...

This hostel was average - it was right in the middle of town so exploring and going to the beaches was easy to do, but this town is VERY touristy. If you are looking for an cultural experience do not come here! It was similar to Hawaii. Lots of expensive hotels and restaurants in the area - dinner was 15... More

Stayed at Blue Trailz for 4 nights with my girlfriend. We stayed in a 6 bedroom dorm with 4 other people at a great price ($14ea). The hostel is right on the main street, close to everything with the beach across the street. Met lots of great people and the staff was great as well. I would recommend this place... More

I am a guy travelling alone and had no expectations before I arrived, as i have stayed in many hostels in the past that don't live up to the reputation. Well, I can honestly say that this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in!!! I stayed for 3 weeks and in that time I imeadiately felt at home... More
