Great location, the staff are great and really willing to help. We didn’t use the kitchen but it seemed to be clean and comfortable. There is a big supermarket and laundry (lavandería) which is comfortable and recommended.

The room was well set up; the bed was comfortable, the 2 fans were great and having a mini fridge in the room was very handy. We loved that there were sloths and agouti around the hostel. We also loved Tequila, one of the cats who was super friendly. He brightened our days!

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The best accommodation we had in Costa Rica! House is perfectly clean, spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. The air conditioning, wifi and washing machine worked perfectly. Great location in a quiet and safe place with beautiful views of the garden and banana plantation. Wendy took excellent care of us. She is super kind, helpful and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    Friendly staff. great location, very close to the National Park, but also just out of main town so it was quiet. plentiful breakfast. Loads of wildlife in the gardens around the hotel - saw monkeys everyday (Howlers and Capuchins) and lots more. The pool is a great place to chill out and enjoy the gardens. The track to the hotel is well lit and perfectly safe. Rooms are good size and showers have plenty of hot water. Rooms had both air-con and fans so easy to regulate temperature.

    The hostel is located really close to the national park, the restaurants, and the shops. Five minute walking distance maximum to the furthest restaurant. The bed was comfy and had a personal fan and light. The lockers came with a lock. The water was safe to drink.
