I'll be going to Costa Rica and living in hostels, any advice?

Question

I'll be in Costa Rica and will be staying at a hostel, what type of things should I bring? Should be bring blankets and pillows? What are the main differences between a hotel and a hostel?? Thank you!!!

Answer 1

In a hotel you have your own room. A hostel is a lot cheaper because in a hostel the room has bunk beds where you share the room with like 4 or 6 other people but there are rooms for only girls and rooms for only guys and sometimes if you get lucky you might be the only one in the room or maybe not but a lot of people like hostels because you meet other people on the same type of trip as you and you have fun together but the bad thing is you gotta share bath rooms with other people staying at the hostel but if that doesnt bother you, youre straight. Maybe bring an umbrella might help because it is rainy season and when you get here if you go to a hot humid place make sure you buy some bug spray because some parts have mosquitos and have shoes that you can walk with and make sure you bring sandals for the beach and you can buy sun lotion here but if you want, bring some, the hostel will provide you with a pillow but if you want to bring your own for more comfort, why not. I hope you have a great and blessed trip im sure your going to love it and good luck.
