More than almost any hostel in San Juan del Sur. For a reason.

You came for the beach.
You stayed for the people.

Hola Ola is a small, social hostel built around surf, laughter, and easy connection.

Many guests plan a few nights. Many stay weeks.

A few accidentally meet their future spouse.

Surfers at Hola Ola Hostel

First wave or fiftieth, you’re covered.

We organize surf trips to the best breaks around San Juan del Sur, so you spend less time planning and more time in the water.

Boards ready. Rides sorted. Crew included.

All you have to do is paddle.

There’s always something going on.

And if there isn’t, someone’s about to start it.

  • Family dinners.
  • Beer pong battles.
  • Beach days that turn into beach nights.
Join everything or dip in and out. Either way, you won’t be bored and you definitely won’t be alone.

Volunteer

Not ready to leave yet? Happens a lot.

If you want to help behind the bar, support projects, or be the life of the party, we sometimes have volunteer spots open.

More connection. More purpose. Same good vibes.

One of the best hostels in which I have stayed, the atmosphere is another level really friendly and the hosts make you feel at home. I'll recommend this hostel without hesitation. If you go to San Juan del Sur you have to stay at Hola Ola.

The perfect hostel! Great place for solo travelers. Met so many nice people here. Hostel organises events every day and provides free coffee and water for all guests. A little outside the town which is a plus. Only place to stay while in San Juan

Such an amazing place and hostel experience! Great people, delicious food, beautiful views and an amazing pool! They made us feel like family and we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in San Juan!
