Farid and Juliana were exceptional hosts—so welcoming and friendly, they really made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived and they genuinely care about their guests. The hostel itself is spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay: the beds are cozy, the kitchen is fully equipped, and there’s even a space to hang out clothes which came in very handy. I highly recommend Maracuya Hostel! Thank you for making my first time in San Rafael so great!

This place is a piece of heaven on earth. I left with a full heart. I came the 1st time in November 2024 and I fell in love with the place so I come back 2 months later and I fell in love even more. - Let's start with the view that is just incredible. You can sit there for hours and just look at the landscape. The mariage of vegetation and the lack makes the place looking as a painting. The entire place is peaceful and relaxing and you are only a short walk from town if you want more craziness and activities. - Lodges are in the middle of vegetation which give you the impression of being one with the nature. The decoration made the place very authentic. My room was very comfy and I have plenty of space. I got a mini fridge (perfect for snacks). My room has also a private terrace with a view on the lack with a table and a hammock (perfect to chill and relax). I was worried about the room temperature at night but I even did not need to open the window actually. - There is a private access to the lack, which is perfect for a swim during the hot hours of the day. They also offer activities as yoga, kayak, hiking, massage... You can not get bored. - The breakfast is very generous and good. You don't need another meal until late afternoon. - Lady at the reception was very kind and helpful. She made me feel very comfortable even if my Spanish was very limited. Always happy to answer my questions. - The last but not the least was my meeting with Maria the owner and the creator of the place. She made my stay unforgettable with a her warmth. She made me feel as a family member. We did a firecamp, went to San Rafael, I met her lovely family... Being a solo traveler Maria took care of me as a daughter (I even don't speak Spanish hahaha). She so inspiring, as a human, as a woman, as an artist and as a nature lover. Don't miss her during your stay if you want to meet someone special. Thank you Casa Encuentro for being my new

I stayed in a shared room, and my bed has amazing view for the lake. The place overall is cozy and clean, with good Wi-Fi. The whole area is very beautiful, very green, with a lot or palm trees and blossoming bushes, far from crowds, very calm. The most amazing is a heated pool, and variety of water activities. I’ll definitely come back. And it’s highly recommended for those who value spending time in nature.

We've enjoyed our stay very much. Staff is super friendly, location is great right before a river where you can swim and see flora and fauna, clean and spacious rooms and bathrooms. Quiet place to enjoy nature. Will come back! I also recommend the restaurant next door for breakfast, lunch and diner. Great food and nice presentation!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
