Perfect! ##### Camielle Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camielle 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The best rooms are the private with shared bathrooms. The view is great from this room. And the bathroom was always well kept. There is lack of internet in the fully private rooms, etc. ##### Camielle Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### wilber 24 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything is nice thanks ##### wilber Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Emily 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Being a surf hostel, the place is run by young 20 year olds. Which is just something to be aware of in terms of the professionalism and unwarranted sassyness lol. I also thought it was a little pricey compared to its competitors in the area. It wasn’t very busy when my friend and I stayed and it gave off a very cliquey vibe. Other than that it’s literally steps away from the beach and is within reasonable walking distance to the rest of Jacó. Also loved the ample parking for our rental car. ##### Emily Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yadira 14 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Es un lugar bonito divertido cerca de todo y con muy buena atención ##### yadira Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob 11 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a very clean and fun hostel where the staff was very friendly and helpful. ##### Jacob Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pablo 14 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Todo limpio y el personal muy agradable!!! ##### Pablo Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 21 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Solo trip Hostel was great, awesome bar and pool setup, friendly staff, and everyone looking to hang even w current COVID conditions.

The room was great! However, there were aunts EVERYWHERE on the wall next to the single bed. I was so thrown off by them and they were in the sheets as well. ##### Madeline Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I had a great time and I would go back. I almost didn’t stay at Room2Board— they are VERY Instagram-friendly, and I am not exactly the IG demographic. That said, I am glad I didn’t get scared off! Room2Board was clean and friendly, and they were strict about quiet hours starting at 11 pm, so no worries about pounding music all night. My only two comments are SUPER minor: it would be great if they provided hooks in the rooms to hang up wet/damp clothes, especially since they don’t want you to hang clothes out on the balconies, and the free coffee doesn’t actually start at 5 am like the signs in the room say- it starts at 7 am. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is such a great hostel. I had a private room with a shared bathroom. Staff was friendly and the place was big, bright and clean. Right by the beach for great surfing. 10/10. Even got to watch nfl by the pool in the big projector Close to a few good bars for night life. Don’t go alone at night. Jaco is high risk if you are out alone at night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Alberto 11 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Claro que volveríamos!

Clean, cool vibe, really nice pool, great location. This place is fantastic. My only gripe was that the free morning coffee wasn’t more than luke-warm. I’d still gladly go back. ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### lucia patricia 17 Apr 2019 Elevator was not working Lobby staff not able to help all time, many answers like "i dont know" ##### lucia patricia Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 14 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### R2B will be our go-to in Jaco R2B had such a fun atmosphere, was steps to the beach, and had awesome happy hour specials! ##### Rachel Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie 22 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location and value Great hotel!
