Selina Maderas - Hostel

San Juan del Sur

Common areas especially communal kitchen, dining area not cleaned well.Library full of spiders and not cleaned.My room had wooden shutters and no glass on the windows. Spider found in room, had to buy insecticide.Concrete floors no rugs.Good air conditioning.

Nice place reasonably priced and tasty food.

Located in the foothills about 600 meters from Playa Maderas, Selina Maderas is the best hostel I have ever been a guest at. With a modern yet rustic and festive vibe, an excellent and helpful staff, state of the art pool you definitely want to stay here if visiting this beach and area. 

The co working space is excellent with views of the mountains, air conditioning, and great Wi-Fi speed. I teach online and did not have any issues. There is plenty to do in the evening and you can arrange a tour, or just chill in any of the comfortable rooms, whether opting for a shared or private room. I stayed in both. 

I definitely would like to visit again. If you surf, you can rent a board here and pick it up at the beautiful Playa Maderas. Thank you to the wonderful staff for being so accommodating and kind.

Bad service, horrible check in, bad room swaps. List goes on…

Staff is not well trained and didnt know its amenities. Place looked dirty and not well maintained. Breakfast ok.

Very disappointing! We stay at Selina in Granada and we loved our stay so we decided to stay in Selina Maderas. The employees were not really welcoming, always on their phone. We had no explanation about what to do in the area. We had a shared bathroom, it was always full of sand and hair, not really clean at all! Not even talking about the prices!!! It cost twice the price than everywhere else and the cocktails were served in very small glass. The food is average and also crazy expensive for the area.I would not recommand this place!

Not clean, too expensive

This hostel is definitely a place that is very well designed, but just not well maintained. I had a fine stay here but there are a lot of small annoying issues which made it feel like it wasn't worth the far more expensive rates you pay compared to many hostels.

For me the most annoying thing is that they didn't have daily yoga on as advertised on their profiles and even in their app of daily activities - it's not running at weekends at the moment, which meant that I could only do it on one of the three days I was there even though this was a big reason I booked. In the room itself, which is basically very nice, there were lots of small issues like a missing handle on the door, a half-working toilet, broken light when we arrived, and no soap in the dispensers. Outside there's only one proper sunbed in the whole place, few hammocks if you're not in a private room, and the brick paths are SO slippery that everyone is sliding around and tripping. The kitchen is pretty nice and well equipped but they clearly don't clear the fridge out, so even though there weren't many people there while I was staying and it's a big fridge, it was really hard to fit anything in. Also didn't love the loud music playing all day but that's probably more personal. 

There are plenty of positives too - it's very pretty, big and nice dorms, good food (though pricey), beautiful yoga space - but all the small issues made me not want to pay the rates any longer and I moved elsewhere after a few days.

Lots of small annoying issues - not worth the price

i liked the kindness and service of the staff as well as the variety of food offered by them

Relaxing atmosphere, comfortable, one of few places that has hot shower in San Juan del Sur.

Friendly staff, nicely designed in the nature

Very tranquil and customer service was amazing (especially Lisbeth and Lijah). Lisbeth made us feel at home and Lijah made sure we ate well and offered us a delivery service when we were hungry. I would definitely return here and recommend this place to others. If you can, get the suite at the top where You can see everything.

Backpacking trip

Nice and relaxed hotel close to the beach. The location is pretty far from San Juan, and well suited if you want  to relax by the pool or surf at Maderas. The rooms are very nice and quiet - you sleep well here. Staff is friendly and you are made to feel welcome.
