The hostel consists of several charming tree houses, and our private room was nice and pretty much space and a big window. The staff seemed very nice and the atmosphere were friendly and I think the guests and the staff had some nice evenings with food, beer and fun. Not located completely in the centre of Livingston but the five... More

Stayed there for one night on our way to Honduras. The rooms were nice, yet extremely damp! Staff was super nice and really helpful. There was a great atmosphere and it was great to see that most guests knew each other from previous evenings.

Lovely people and good communal dinner. However, if you get put in one of the rooms near the bar, when you've stopped partying you won't be able to sleep - at all! I'm normally a dorm kind of girl, but ended up travelling with a few others and shared a room. It was right near the bar and when we... More

On my way to Honduras I landed in Livingston and checked in at Casa de La Iguana: the atmosphere is so nice, the volunteers so friendly that I ended up staying a week rather then the 2 days planned. Food is amazing and the idea of the family style dinner creates the perfect opportunity to meet people to explore the... More

Had an amazing time at this lovely hostel! We stayed there for almost a week and celebrated New Years eve. It was an unforgetable time! The place is really chilled and nice to hang out at during the day and becomes a complete party place at night. Every night there are lovely family style dinners, which is a wonderful way... More

We slept in the iguana 2 nights in the beginning of january. We took a private room. In the time we were there 120$ were stolen from the dorm and 30$ were stolen from my bag (which was in the private room). The hostel has no gate, and it's open- anyone can get inside during the day. Other then that... More

I am very sorry for your experience here at Casa De La Iguana which also reflects on your impression of Livingston. In six years this hasn't happened which I accept is no compensation to you. We do take people's and their valuable's security seriously and there are motion detecting security lights, and night guard and a safe for people's belongings.... More

We stayed there just one night but we had a nice evening and a good night at this hostel. The staff was really nice and helpful, we enjoyed our time there. We could pitch our tent in the garden which is the best for us.

Me and a friend stayed here for Christmas, couldn't have asked for a better hostel! The staff was very knowledge, making arrangements for day trips and lancha rides right at the front desk. Also they were very friendly, making you feel right at home. The evening meals are fantastic, everyone comes together to enjoy great food and fellowship. There is... More
