They staff was very nice & helpful. They are a very close walk to the beach, less then 5 minutes & close to town. The breakfast was delicious, was very social and it was great meeting other guests. The back yard was beautiful and very relaxing. I had a nice nap in a Hammock in the beautiful backyard.  The guests ranged in ages from 57 to 23. I would not hesitate to go back. There is a bus stop very close that will take you to the San Jose airport. Very convenient and easy way to get to the airport.

Lovely Hostel

First of all it's adorable, artsy, and full of good vibes. Second, they gave us 6 pillows on our double bed and the bed and pillows were very comfortable, which as you might know is unheard of in the hostel world. Lol. The entire place is super clean and well maintained. It's nice and quiet and it's set up really great. If people want to stay up late and chat there's a beautiful garden lounge area away from the rooms so as not to disturb people who go to bed early. The location is wonderful because it's about a 3 minute walk to the beach. It's a bit of a walk into town which is kind of a good thing in my opinion. The owner is very kind and helpful and communication was easy. I would definitely 100% recommend this place. It's my favorite hostel so far!

I absolutely love this hostel!!!

Casa Jungla's interior is really beautiful! I particularly like the outdoor dining area which looks like a jungle. It offered the real "pura vida" vibe. My favourite thing about this hostel is their breakfast! Veronika served us pancakes with almonds - it's the best pancake I ever had! If you are going on a road trip (rent a car) like what we did, Casa Jungla has a private parking lot, too!

What a beautiful hostel!

Nice location, literally 5 minutes walk to either the beach, the nearest small (very small) shop, a bar and a diner. Breakfast's tasty (although very light), the yard with the seats/hammock/couches is fantastic (there are few funny lizards and tons of birds), bed's comfortable, and the atmosphere's great! Free bicycle (for the first hour) and you can reach the town centre in literally 5 minutes (cycling, I'd avoid walking). Kitchen's nice, beach's perfect.
The road can be quite noisy, allocate fridge space is kinda limited.
NOT RELATED TO THE HOSTEL: keep in mind the nearest beach bar (Aloha Bar and Grill) is kinda a tourist trap

Amazing, would go again and again and again

Second time staying at this hostel and I would definitely come back again. 
As soon as you pass the front door of Casa Jungla, you’re struck by the soothing power of the lush vegetation that surrounds the house. 
The back garden with couches and hammocks is a perfect place to chill and read and observe lizards, squirrels and iguanas in the trees! 
This place feels more like staying at somebody’s home rather in a hostel. The backyard has an open kitchen and swings around the dinner table. Francisco has great taste in music and usually has some nice playlists on during the day - this is not a party hostel with sh*tty music and people at the reception on their phones. To each their own... but if you’re after a place that’s calm, you should consider it!
You can rent surfboards and bikes there, and it’s only a 2-mn walk to the southern end of Jaco beach. 
Super friendly atmosphere!

Feels like home!

We initially wanted to stay just for 2 nights but ended up staying around 6 nights because we loved the hostel and the city Jacó! :)
The host has been so kind and helpful when we needed information about the city. 
You can walk to the center but the hostel provides 2 bikes (in total) so this is a bit faster. Hope you'll enjoy your stay as much as we did :)

Cozy place with lovely hosts

My niece and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casajungla. We enjoyed the location near the south end of the beach. The beaches are quiet, and it's a great spot for surfers. There are two bars next to the hostel with excellent local food. It was very clean and decorated nicely. Our room was charming. Francisco and Veronica, the proprietors, were welcoming and helped us with whatever we needed. They provided information about local transportation and excursions. When we return to Jaco one day, we hope to stay there again! 

Charming Hostel

Arrived in the pouring rain, didn't see the bell on the door to call reception so make sure you ring it! Was showed to my room which was decorated very nicely. The bathroom was nice and clean, the shower had hot water, and was overall very nice. Curtains were a bit see through so had to be careful with changing because people can occasionally walk past. The communal areas were nice, especially the kitchen, I met a lot of nice people there, and the garden is also very pretty. The included breakfast served is really tasty so make sure to get up for it, and the dogs are very cute. Only thing is it's not very near to the shops and restaurants so it's a bit of a walk into town, but very close to the beach and there's a little bar nearby as well. Overall really nice experience.

Very nice experience

The location is very beautiful especially the lovely garden. Almost all the beds have old matrasses where you feel the iron wires digging in your back. When I came back to the hostel the second day staying here I noticed my backpack was moved from the place where I put it and when I talked to the owner about this he was rude and said he was cleaning. I said that does not matter, nobody touches my stuff when I am not there. He did not agree and did not understand my issue, did not even say he was sorry. Luckily he gave me back some of the money for the remaining days and I got out of there.
