Great music and atmosphere. Food is nice but pricey, along with drinks. Careful with the room you pick if you don't want to party - go as far away from the lake as you can because the lakeside bar and pool are loud.

Stayed here on a couple of occasions. The party nights can be amazing (especially when getting a tequila shot with each beer bought... ). Food is really tasty, but a pricier than most of San Pedro. The hostel's great for rainy days, as well as having a pool and the bar on the lakeside. Downside is when heading to other... More

We had already booked at the Pinocchio Hotel (clean, firm beds, nice) when we found Zoola. The bar and the restaurant and different. Keep walking towards the lake and you will find the bar with the most amazing view. I loved the layout of both. Cushions and pillows on the ground next to short tables. Nice chill areas. The German... More

I'll start with the positives. Given the price range, the layout, price range and pool are exceptional. Clearly a lot of thought and love had gone into the design of the place and in many ways the hostel is far more memorable and distinct than many you will find in Central America. The hostel was full and busy with quite... More

We stayed at Zoola for two nights, they have a minimum stay of two nights, maybe because most guest would leave after the first one.... We had a room next to the bar and it was very loud. In the night people were having pillow fights in front of our room and when we got up in the morning there... More

My friend got dengue fever while she was here and could hardly move out of bed, she had scorpions crawling over her and extremely loud music ALL NIGHT LONG!! It wasn't only until 12, 1, 2 am it was past 5.30 am!!!!!! And there was no one in the bar!!!!! Truly awful! The worst nights sleep we had! Funky hang... More

During my backpacking trip I stayed at Zoola with 2 ffriends from New Zeland, I was so lucky finding out this beautiful place, the minute you enter the place you feel vibe, colors everywhere, different ambiences, the place is huge, very cool privates and dorms, the prices are really cheap for a luxury like this, every backpacker on a budget...

Let me start at the beginning. Upon arrival to check out the hostel we were showed 3 different rooms, the guy had no idea on price or what he was actually showing us, and neglected to tell us the room where we could all be together was right next to the bar where thy played the worst of music till...

This is by far the best dorm I have stayed in with proper thick mattresses that are away from the bar so you can get rest when you want it and partake in the party when you feel it! The food is great, a bit pricey on a backpacker's budget if you're eating all your meals here. The overall environment... More
