Fine
Our stay was fine, however the property was in need of some maintenance. Our kitchen area of the apartment was missing a window so we had many mosquitos in the room. Stayed at other Selina Hotels and this was certainly not one of the better ones

I wasn’t planning on even leaving a review because I think this place caters to a certain demographic and for that demographic it is maybe a cool happening place. Here’s what I didn’t like: 1. The RUDEST staff. Everyone in puerto viejo was so kind and welcoming. I feel like they actively had to search for the rudest most unwelcoming people they could find. 2. Forget about trying to find this place in the dark. There’s a tiny tiny sign that says Selina which is not very lit at night. When I called the front desk for help they were wildly unhelpful then the security guard was also unhelpful when trying to figure out where to park when the gates were both locked. 3. I had a private room. It was FULL of mold and pretty gross. The toilet leaked from the bottom all over the bathroom floor and constantly smelled like poop. 4. I was feeling sick and asked the bar to SELL me a cup of ice, I offered to pay and did not ask for it for free. They would not SELL me a cup of ice (honestly should have been free but ok, I get it I’ll pay if that’s a policy). THEY WOULD NOT SELL ME A CUP OF ICE WHEN I FELT SICK AND JUST WANTED ICE WATER. That was really the straw that broke the camels back. They bartender went over to the “boss” likely the manager or owner to ask and he just said no. What an abysmal policy. They said because there’s a “festival” well I’m not part of the festival (literally 10 people in front of a dj booth, and 4 people at the bar) I’m a paying guest at the hostel who also

Very friendly and helpful team. Good location, close to Puerto Viejo and Cocles. Our suite was very spacious and quite with a good size fridge. In general very good but a bit expensive for what you get.

My stay here was amazing! For that little bit extra per night compared to other hostels in the area you really do get a luxurious hostel which offers a lot of activities for the guests and a very high quality of service from the staff! When i arrived there was a problem with my reservation and instead of not letting me stay they upgraded me to a private room at no extra charge! I made a last minute decision to extend my stay for 2 nights and they were very accomodating and gave me another private room! The rooms i stayed in were always spotless and i ate in the hostel nearly every day due to the high quality of the food!

Fun and Pleasant stay!
Selina is the place to be if you wanna make friends and have fun. It is located a few minutes from Playa Cocles the most popular in Puerto Viejo. Staff is very friendly and the place has all kind of activities to make your day entertain or relaxing as you wish. The property is big and with beach access. Rooms have all type of options from shared dorms till private king. There’s a common kitchen where you can cook yourself and fridge storage or the restaurant has a full day service if you rather don’t cook. So you can choose what type of experience you want to have, knowing that is a priority for the chain to relate within guest as weekend parties are big event in the area.
