At the accommodation the rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels. I arrived in early July very late one night as a solo woman traveler, and when I reached the hostel I was immediately relieved. The garden atmosphere (and geckos!) and kind staff helped me make a smooth transition into Costa Rica. This was my first time staying at a hostel and it was wonderful. My room had 3 other beds but no one else was there. There was ample space for storing luggage, a fan to keep the room cool, and a bathroom that had shower soap, shampoo, & conditioner included! Additionally, the breakfast was wonderful (and included!), there was plenty of filtered water to drink, and the garden attached to the dining area has beautiful seating and lush greenery alongside a fountain with fish and baby sharks! I am so glad this was my first impression of Costa Rica! Pura vida!

Super sweet couple that invites you in the guest area of their own house. It is a tranquil place with 2 people taking super good care, making you comfortable and helping you with anything you like to ask but with a relaxt, leaving you to do your thing vibe. The breakfast that is included is the best! Was sad to leave, it is such a nice rural region of Costa Rica, with Rio Celeste entrance within 20 mins drive. Recommended! Night tour was nice and interesting as well!

You can really feel this hostel is run by a backpacker who's really aware if everything that actually matters for one. Comfortable mattresses, extra bathroom on every floor beside the ones in the rooms. The price is one of the cheapest in the area, David really tries to set people in groups for whatever so we won't each take uber for ourselves, he's really into showing you whatever is around the city to do and will try to arrange anything that you might need. Free yoga classes in 18:00 everyday are worth mentioning . And also the effort to devide the people in the different rooms available to promise as much privacy as possible to each one. The kitchen is really big and equipped also and there's even a stone to sharpen the knives.

Excellent value for money. Great location. Close to a supermarket, which was good to utilise the kitchen. Esteban was very friendly, helpful and responsive. He organised a shuttle to Monteverde for us that was cheaper than anywhere else we could find. I even got an invite to go and play Soccer with his local friends.
We loved everything about this hotel. In particular I liked that it was all pedestrianised so the kids could wander about safely. It was great to have hot springs and a pool onsite, plus plenty of wildlife including a sloth mum and baby, lizards and loads of birds. The location was really convenient and we could easily order Ubers to transport us around La Fortuna cheaply. The view of the volcano from our porch was spectacular.
Great location, very safe and quiet, Yoga corner, free tea and coffee in the morning, the owner is just a super nice person and helped me with every little question / concern! Will come again!
Great staff. Lovely rooftop deck and lower deck with chairs and hammocks to relax. We never felt unsafe. The location was good, just a few minute walk from all the action, it was nice to be in a little quieter spot to sleep. Lots of Hostel-run excursions for reasonable prices. Good value.
Great location. Typical backpackers type of stay. Very basic but meets needs. Lovely communal areas Staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable, special mention to Jenni - excellent member of staff.
The best hostel I have stayed in Costa Rica so far! Owners were so friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and I felt so safe there. I’ll definitely be back and I would 100% recommend that to everyone who needs a place to stay close to the airport.
The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
It had a great pool, nice hangout areas if it’s not raining. Rooms were basic but did the job and was nice to not have a bunk bed (although ours was the only room without). Great location in the centre of the town. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Generally a spacious and nice hostel.
