"One of our favourite stays :)"

10.0

It says “Home Away from Home” at the door, and it truly is! Love all the details of this place, including a yoga space and outdoor gym. They rent out bicycles as well with guest rates. Excellent Wi-Fi even for those who work online. Definitely recommended :)

Our room could have a desk and chair, but overall, it worked out for us as there were communal spaces.

"Recommended, great secure location and good vibes"

9.0

Everything was great and smooth, private parking was essential and appreciated. Hot water and great bathroom in the Surfers Paradise room Room was big and main bed was very comfortable

If you need AC make sure your room has it. Wasn't too bad but might be a bit warm for some

"A great and homey stay in Puerto Viejo"

10.0

A great stay, close to the town and safe to walk at night. There was a nice path over the road to the beach. Staff were really nice and have so much information about what to do. Also a lot of birds and frogs in the gardens which was so cool!

Nothing - everything was great.

"Perfekter Aufenthalt! Es lohnt sich definitiv!"

10.0

Eines der schönsten Hostels, in denen ich je gewesen bin. Wir hatten ein Privatzimmer mit eigenem Bad. Auf dem Balkon waren 2 Hängematten + Tisch & Stühle und es war perfekt um einfach nur zu relaxen. Alles sehr sauber! Personal total nett und höflich. Immer für einen da und gibt viele hilfreiche Tipps. Fahrräder können gegen Gebühr geliehen werden. Perfekt um die schöne Umgebung zu erkunden. Der Außenbereich war echt toll! Es gab einen Sportbereich ausgestattet mit Sportmatten und Gewichten. Hier haben wir gelegentlich unsere Workouts machen können. Der Garten ist wunderschön. Ich kann es definitiv weiterempfehlen und würde direkt wieder her kommen! Wir haben es genossen und uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Perfekter Aufenthalt!

Nichts, denn es war alles super!
