"Pésima experiencia"

4.0

Nada

Es un alojamiento que funciona con voluntarios, y la verdad que aunque la idea me parezca buena, siempre necesita supervisión de alguien, ya que fallaban muchas cosas. Para empezar a nuestra llegada no nos comunicaron que por pagar con tarjeta se nos cobraría un 10% mas. Gracias que nos dimos cuenta y escribimos al alojamiento, que nos reembolso ese 10% porque nadie nos lo había notificado, sino pagaríamos con dinero. Luego, tanto la cocina como todos los utensilios están en muy mal estado y necesitan renovación. Una de las mañanas había huevos rotos en el suelo porque algun animal de noche los tiró, había dos voluntarias desayunando tranquilamente sin limpiarlo antes, y parecía que tampoco les importaba. En una de las noches nos costó conciliar el sueño porque los voluntarios estaban en la zona común hablando muy alto y riendose sin importar la hora (23:00, lo cual considero que era tiempo de dejar descansar a los huespedes). Solamente había un baño para las habitaciones de arriba y muchas veces estaba ocupado. Entiendo que funcione con voluntarios, pero nosotros estabamos pagando un precio bastante alto para la calidad que de ofrecía, y no puede haber ese caos.

"Tranquil & comfortable"

10.0

Loved our stay at Madre Selva - we even extended for a night! Was so peaceful staying in the jungle, and nice to not be in a busy town. Kitchen had everything we needed, bedroom was comfy & the fan kept us cool.

Only downside is the property is located about 500m down a dirt road with no street lights. We made sure we were back before dark each night/caught an uber back as it was pitch black to walk along. Not a problem for us though, but something to keep in mind :)

"Große Weiterempfehlung! :)"

9.0

Das Hostel hat uns super gefallen! :) Die Gastgeberin und Freiwilligen die dort arbeiten waren alle super freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Küche ist sehr groß und top ausgestattet. Die Zimmer waren auch top. Das Hostel liegt ein wenig außerhalb, dafür ist es aber sehr ruhig und man kann sogar einige Tiere aus dem Zimmer beobachten. Ein großer Supermarkt ist zu Fuß in 10 Minuten zu erreichen und auch ein Fahrrad- und Rollerverleih. Haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt :)

"Great."

8.0

Great place to stay! Away from the crowd and noise. Still close to supermarkets and so. Surounded by beautiful jungle and wildlife. Lots of birds/monkeys/ sloths/... to see/hear.. :-) Very well equiped kitchen and places to relax/read. Owners are profesional and relaxed. Cheerio.
