    The hosts were SO awesome! Super friendly and helpful. Went out of their way to make us comfortable, help us get to know the area, and the breakfast…WOW! Quite possibly the best meal we had for the whole trip.

    This place is off the beaten track and a perfect stop. Spotlessly clean and has everything you need. The view and terrace is amazing!!! Its like having your own private rainforest!!! We could have watched the hummingbirds all day. The hosts are fantastic and we spoke with google translate. Easy! I highly recommend this if your are on a road trip to Rio Celeste etc. Thank you for our stay!

    Where do I even start......... this place is perfect hidaway. Looking into the greenery from your super comfy bed or hammock, sipping coffee on the little terrace, listnening to the sounds of nature... The river running just behind the house was such nice surprise, with fresh clean water, surrounding nature and quiet privacy There are many places to stay in Costa Rica, many of them beautiful but this one is really unique and I hope I will have a chance to stay there again.

    I honestly do not understand the bad reviews, the place is certainly not a fancy hotel or anything but rather a small family run inn and therefore is very basic and simple but the hosts were super nice, the rooms were clean and the breakfast was really good. So if you are looking for something to stay for a night to see Rio Celeste which is just 10mins, and want to actually see 100% of your money go to a local family its a good place.

    Authentic cabana in exceptional location. Great tranquility. It is so great to relax by the river and the pool. We really recommand a stay! The hosts are really kind. If you don't speak much espanol, ask for the wifi code right away to use a translating app since they don't speak much English. Make sure to sleep with the mosquito nest provided and bring some great repellent. The region of Rio Celeste in general has hungry mosquitos.

    Everything, the owners are incredible great hosts, super cute and accommodating. The place is very comfy and the room has a beautiful view to the garden. The live downstairs so anything you need you can easily reach them. You can get food delivery to the place from a nice restaurant around (it wouldn't stop raining the day we spend there)
