We paid $20 for a twin room per night which was good value for tortugero as its hard to find anything cheaper. Rooms are basic with a fan, and ours had an ensuite bathroom with hot water. There are hammocks outside which are nice to relax in. We were a bit disappointed that they didn't actually offer the $6 evening... More

Cabinas Tortuguero is nothing fancy -- the rooms are basic, as is the common area and kitchen.. but everything is well-maintained and they have everything you need! The hostel is located right next to the park and just a 5 minute walk both to the beach and to the center of town. The rooms have fans, clean bathrooms, and they... More

I stayed in a dorm. There was a fan to keep you cool at night, and the room was clean, but very sparse. Just the basics here. However, the reason I love this place so much is because of the guys who run/own it. They are great people and very helpful. Also, there are a lot of hammocks on the... More

I spent 2 nights at Cabinas Tortuguero and we stayed in a triple room with private bathroom. Even if the rooms are really basic (no furniture or decorations), sufficiently clean even if not surely immaculate, and the walls provide no soundproofing at all, we enjoyed very much our stay at Cabinas. The location is great, the atmoshpere is laid back... More

Cabinas Tortuguero is a cheap place, so don't expect luxury. However, it's ok for this price. The environment is very quiet, safe and relax. The owners are really friendly, always try to help you without stressing you, do their best to make you feel safe and relax. Definitly a good place to stay in Tortuguero.

I spent 2 nights with a friend there. Despite the bad weather we spent 3 really nice days there. They organized tours for us, and was helpfully. We asked some questions about the park, and finally Jose took some hours to go and show us some thing in just for the pleasure to be with (is not guide). The rooms... More

Lovely island and good staying at this place. They are the new owners and doing well with excellent service. Rooms are all you need with an extra fan too keep it cool, witch wasn't needed during the rain period. The bathroom is a bit small but with warm water and very clean. Because of the rainy season we could not... More
