Please speak with Kellen at reception. There was an additional lock put on my locker. When I asked for it to be removed I had to wait until 1:20pm for the next person on shift.
Kellen wouldn't open my locker and ignored me. The hostel was withholding my passport, and credit card illegally. I was checked out, and leaving. I had no problems with the hostel, or premises, until I was leaving. I had to wait 1.5hrs for the lock to be opened.
An employee with authority abused his power and I felt unsafe, and all I wanted was to leave. Take note in this online review, this isn't good, or wise of staff members to do this to customers. Withholding passports, and credit cards are illegal, and I didn't owe any money.
You have my contact information, if you chose to email and talk about this further I m happy to set up a time with you.
Another women opened the locker for me without hesitation and apologized, so thank you to her for being there.
****UPDATE****
Management has never contacted me about this scenario. If you stay at this location as a single female traveller, be aware of the guy named Kellen (if he is still employed or around the area). I would consider myself a fairly experienced traveler over the years. Rockin J's is the first and ONLY place that has had an employee/staff member put an additional lock on my personal belongings locker. And since I know I had already payed and was LEAVING, I could not leave the premices without my passport or money.
Show this review to Management and let them know how important it is not to have creepy male staff in charge of computers, or access to lockers!
Management should atleast notify the public that this situation was acknowledged. Females being held up in hostels isn't a positive review/good for word of mouth once people start reading this. (I stayed there for 3 days).
El lavatorio no funcionaba , pero todo lo demás sí incluyendo la plantilla, abanico, etc. La cama grande y muy cómoda. No habían muchas almohadas ni sábanas, pero las que habían eran suaves y agradables al tacto.
La entrada a la habitación era una puerta tipo puerta de ático , y era una puerta muy pesada de alzar a la hora de subir las gradas y empujar hacia arriba la puerta para poder entrar.
Entre otras cosas, había agua fría y también caliente en la ducha y el diseño era de corales, muy cool.
Tenían bebidas a la venta en recepción, mas no había mucha variedad, pero al frente hay una tienda de conveniencia.
El staff muy amable y agradable.
Me pareció extraño que no dejen fumar m@rihuana pero tienen letreros de 420 en la entrada del lugar.
Gracias a pablito que nos hizo sentir como en casa ???????? volveríamos completamente
I wanted to stay in this hostel and booked a room for me and my friend. The hostel canceled the room and gave me a refund voucher instead of my money back. When I wanted to use the voucher, they said it's only for their tent options which are only 5000 colones and only for one person. They weren't interested in finding a compromise, replying the same text over and over again, ignoring me completely in the end. Super rude.
A unique experience, though.
Though the reception was often useless, either there was nobody or the guy there had permission to do nothing (store luggage, rent bikes).
Rocking J's location is clearly its strong point: its access to the sea-side through a path between beach and jungle is very nice and you can see monkeys and sloths there.
The only downside is the staff have us zero info on checking in and the vibe was quiet to the point of being a bit depressing
Strong shower pressure. Nice and welcoming staff.
Bicycles available to rent
Alles in allem ein billiges Histel und für alle unanspruchvollen Menschen, eine gute und günstige Wahl.
