Guest Reviews
- Yarden (10/5): Super recommend - We loved the personal emphasis the wonderful owners put on our experience. They gave us recommendations for the area and helped with everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing and the rooms were lovely.
- Yannick (7/5): -
- elisa (9/5): -
- Verónica (10/5): - El lugar tranquilo, limpio y muy bien ubicado
El desayuno muy rico!!
- Louisa (10/5): Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal war unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles ist liebevoll eingericht -
- Eve-Marie (10/5): Yes! - Delicious breakfast. Very big room. A/C worked perfectly. Loved the outside kitchen. Loved the hamacs. Owner super friendly and helped me plan my days. Wonderful flora around the propriety. You can hear the other guests talking in the adjacent rooms, but earplugs fix that up easily!
- Mary Clare (9/5): -
- Ricarda (10/5): Cute, laid-back bed & breakfast - We really enjoyed our stay at this cute, little bed and breakfast! From the minute we entered the place we felt calm and welcomed! The breakfast in the garden in the morning was always a nice start to our day! It’s located really close to the beach (5 min walk) and across the street there is a supermarket. Don’t expect a luxury hotel rather a small, cute family place to feel safe and comfortable beside the hustle in Santa Teresa! We would definitely come back and we can just recommend to also have dinner at the place once! :)
- Filippi (8/5): -
- Petra (9/5): -
- Angelina (8/5): - Das B&B ist eingangs Santa Teresa und 2 min vom Strand entfernt. Diverse Restaurants, kleinere Geschäfte in der Nähe und der Supermarkt vis à vie. Im Aussenbereich gibt es eine kleine Gemeinschaftsküche welche einfach aber sauber ausgestattet ist. Die Zimmer sind einfach, gewisse haben eine Klima (unbedingt mit Klima buchen :)) und es kann auch ein geimeinsamer Kühlschrank benutzt werden.
Das Frühstück ist frisch, herzhaft, lecker und jeden Tag ein bisschen anders. Auch zu Abend kann im Bajo el Arbol gegessen werden. Eher obere Preisklasse aber SEHR lecker!
Die Gastgeber sind sehr zuvorkommend, helfen gerne bei Schwierigkeiten (wir bekamen andere Kissen weil die eigentlichen uns zu hoch waren) und geben super Tipps um Santa Teresa zu erkunden.
Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen! -
- Chloe (10/5): - Les hôtes sont top et de bons conseils.
L’hôtel est situé en face d’un supermarché, à côté des commerces et à proximité de la plage.
- Tim (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit sehr netten Gastgebern - Toll eingerichtete Unterkunft an zentraler Lage, 5minuten vom Strand entfernt. Mauro, einer der Gastgeber empfangte uns sehr herzlich, gab uns einige schöne Empfehlungen für Auflüge und war jederzeit hilfsbereit. Sehr leckeres Frühstück mit selbstgemachten Brot😊
- Katja (8/5): - Super fijne locatie, dicht bij het strand. Fijne douche en ook een fijne buiten douche om het zand weg te spoelen naar een stranddag. Kamer was van alle gemakken voorzien en het was fijn dat er ook een gezamenlijke keuken en waslijn te gebruiken was.
- Louise (8/5): Aangenaam verblijf - Prachtige en rustige ligging, eigen parking, vriendelijke ontvangst, proper gekuist Kamers zijn erg warm, geen muggengaas bij de ramen.
- Mélanie (10/5): Je recommande et reviendrais ici sans hésiter - Service exceptionnel, expérience culinary incroyable
- Andersson (8/5): -
- Audrey (10/5): - Cadre très charmant, juste à l’entrée de Snata Teresa, le personnel très gentil qui nous a upgrader dans une chambre plus grande pour le même prix! Petit déjeuner compris. Très bon séjour
- Juan Bautista (10/5): Muy buenos anfitriones, cocina muy bien equipada, desayuno incluido muy - El desayuno increíble, variado y con un poco de todo lo que la tierra en este lugar tiene para ofrecer. Fruta, banana bread y unas tostadas que iban variando su topping según el día, acompañando de un excelente café. La ubicación perfecta, a 2 minutos de la playa, con supermercado al frente, servicios de rental al frente y Todo lo que uno necesita para pasar unos increíbles días
- Juan Manuel (10/5): Ideal. - Muy acogedor el lugar, y mucha calidez por parte del personal.
- Franziska (9/5): - Die Lage ist sehr gut und der Strand ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Es gibt einen Parkplatz direkt an der Unterkunft.
Es gibt insgesamt vier Zimmer, die sich ein WC und eine Dusche teilen. Draußen befindet sich eine kleine Küche. Die Zimmer und die Gemeinschaftsbereiche wurden täglich gereinigt. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und haben jeden Morgen ein frisch zubereitetes Frühstück serviert.
Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis (gerade im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften in Santa Teresa) stimmt hier auf jeden Fall. Der Fußboden in unserem Zimmer war an den Rändern etwas kaputt und brüchig. In der Küche wäre ein bisschen mehr Ausstattung schön gewesen.
- Eugenia Lucia (10/5): perfecta! gracias a mauro y julio por todo 🩷 - mauro y julio son super amables, siempre dispuestos a ayudar y la comida riquisima! ademas el baño siempre estaba súper limpio! nada ! la ubicacion esta muy bien, pero si quieres esta un poquito alejado del centro de santa teresa si estas a pie, pero la playa de enfrente super bonita y estas mas cerca de mal pais y montezuma!
- Michael (8/5): -
- felicia (5/5): Overpriced and not as nice as other places - Everything was really clean, it was great location and felt really safe. Everything looked as it did on the photos. It was extremely many mosquitoes, and only one hearing plate in the kitchen, so most nights I had to wait about 30-45 minuter to do my dinner. Also only two places for couples to sit so not always place to be in if you don’t want to eat in your room - and therefor no natural way to socialize with others. Also no flexibility about when the breakfast is served, so definitivt not recommend this place for surfers, once I was 4 minutes late and then I wasn’t offer it. I asked about more breakfast but had to eat more of my own afterwards because it didn’t filled me up.
- Delfina (10/5): Me hicieron muy bien en el corazón, riquísimo desayuno, e interesantísima última noche san Sebastiana - La armonía, la excelente atención, que tenga restaurante, la ubicación. Todo. Los ame Nada
- Eve (8/5): -
- Roland (8/5): -
- Carlos Andres (10/5): - Linda y cómoda habitación muy bien ubicada con todo cerca. Muy rico desayuno, y ellos fueron muy amables y atentos.
- alexandra (10/5): Excelente alojamiento - El alojamiento es perfecto, el espacio entre la naturaleza hace que la estadía sea soñada, la habitación doble que ocupamos es súper cómoda. La cocina está muy bien equipada con todo lo necesario. El desayuno es una delicia, con fruta fresca, panes y mermeladas caseras. Es para destacar la atención de Julio y Mauro, excelentes anfitriones, ellos hacen que la estadía sea estar en un hogar.
- Inês (9/5): - O alojamento é maravilhoso. A localização é otima, a apenas 5 minutos da praia e muito perto de restaurantes e supermercados. Apesar da rua movimentada, no alojamento reina paz e tranquilidade. O espaço exterior é super agradável, rodeado de natureza. O quarto é simples mas com todas as comodidades necessárias. Os donos são super prestáveis e simpáticos, sempre disponível para ajudar. Recomendo vivamente. O chuveiro tinha pouca pressão o que tornava os banhos um pouco mais longos do que o necessário.
- Veronica (10/5): - Todo. La excelente atención de los anfitriones, la decoración y el cuidado en todos los detalles. La comida, tanto en el desayuno como en su restaurante, se destaca la calidad de los productos y el amor por la cocina. La ubicación cercana a una hermosa playa y todos los servicios cerca.
- Goltseva (9/5): - The room was comfortable and clean, the place is right by a surfing spot although it was very rough to surf (waves to quick and punchy), although I was told it gets more mellow as well. The breakfast was OK but probably the most modest I had during my stay in Costa Rica.
- diogo (10/5): Everything you need for a fair price - Breakfast was really nice
- tal (8/5): מומלץ ליומיים שלושה - נקי מאוד
אנשים טובים ושירות שנותן הרגשה טובה
- Céline (10/5): - Très calme et confortable
Petit déjeuner excellent
- Hannah (10/5): Very nice! - The owners are the best part of this stay! They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed, gave me great advice about what to do in the local area, and were always avaialble for questions. They also made a wonderful breakfast. Good people all around.
- Bar (5/5): Passable -
- Renata (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay was excellent!
The place is very well located, and the accommodations are very comfortable and clean.
The highlight is the breakfast—truly exceptional! Additionally, it’s well worth visiting the restaurant and trying the delicious dishes.
The owners also make a difference in ensuring an excellent stay, always being helpful and attentive.
I highly recommend this place!
- Moritz (10/5): Hidden gem close to the beach - I have spent 5 nights at the rather simple but also cozy and comfortable b&b which is set within this beautiful Garden, a hidden gem with very heartfelt and nice owners!
The restaurant has been my best dinner experience in whole Costa Rica, the food is amazingly fresh and Julio is an amazing Chef!
Highly recommended to visit for a romantic and great dinner or just a glass of wine Can be a bit noisy from all the nature, animals around the place in the morning, but I also feels like being connected to this natural early morning routine
- Marie (9/5): Superb - Great place to stay in Santa Theresa. Beautiful garden, wonderful breakfast and walking to distance to grocery stores, restaurants and beach.
Definitely recommend
- Cohen (1/5): Don’t waist your time money !!! It was a horrible experience… - Breakfast was very nice and tasty
friendly staff.
Location is close to the beach and shops
Parking included The property is super old, and outdated, it almost fell like jail, the room is tiny, in a size of a bed with some room around it, I couldn’t sleep all night, the rooster was crowing all night , the dog was barking, you could hear anyone who came in and out the house, as it’s a room in a house, the pictures on the listing looks very nice, when you get to the properly it doesn’t look the same, the inside of the room and bathroom can use a paint touch up .
I left the property to find a different hotel and gave up my paid night since there was no refund policy,
Don’t waist your time money !!! It was a horrible experience…
- Josefine (9/5): Superb -
- Carmen (10/5): Exceptional - The property is very comfortable and enjoyable. The owners are very kind and nice.
- Ramos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Silvia (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful and magical place! Surrounded by lots of nature in its wonderful garden. The room was nicely decorated and spacious.
Julio and Mauro were amazing hosts.
- Enrico (10/5): Location Location Location - Great location close to beach and restaurants, secure property, pleasant staff Dusty main road
- Margo (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast was delicious and fresh! Such a beautiful place to stay, so relaxing and naturally beautiful. The staff was wonderful and kind. The spanish tapas were so delicious and authentic!
- Suzanne (10/5): A comfortable oasis in a fun town within a short walk to the gorgeous beach. - A surprising oasis away from a busy street and a number of comfortable common areas to relax. The staff were very kind. Nothing
- Remy (10/5): Exceptional - Very welcoming place with 2 charismatics owners. You get the right tips for what you are looking to do around.
Everything was clean, confortable and the garden was beautiful.
Great expérience ! We missed a strainer and wine glasses would have been perfect. So, not a big matter..
- Raffaele (8/5): Beautiful Garden and friendly hospitality in Santa Teresa - We really enjoyed to stay at Bajo el Arbol. The garden is beautiful, we loved to spend time there, and the breakfast.
The rooms are quite basic, but they have everything you need and were cleaned daily. We also had a small kitchen to prepare our meals.
Mauro and Julio are very friendly guests, they shared lot of tips about Santa Teresa and surroundings.
The location also is optimal, only 2 mins walk from Carmen beach. In comparison to other place where we have stayed in Costa Rica, I found this property slightly overpriced vs the value of the room.
- Benedetto (10/5): I will come back. - The property was well cleaned, well organised and equipped with all the necessary things. The environment is cozy and the staff is available for anything when needed.
The stay has a restaurant that is a jewel in Santa Teresa. Nothing
- Annie (9/5): Perfect base to explore Santa Teresa, good value - Julio and Mauro were really friendly hosts who gave us lots of helpful local recommendations. We enjoyed the breakfast each morning (especially the homemade banana bed). The parking at the property and supermarket across the road were very convenient
- Nathalie (10/5): Exceptional - The B&B is located on the main street. Close to everything (beach, supermarket, restaurants and cafes, ATMs, etc.). The rooms get cleaned every day and the breakfast was excellent.
You can hear animals at night. So if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. .
- Lydia (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel was very nice and beautiful; perfect location, fantastic breakfast and the hosts we´re very nice and helpful.
- Julian (10/5): Amazing stay, especially suitable for couples due to the romantic atmosphere in the garden and restaurant - amazing property with beautiful garden, very kind and helpful owners, very good breakfast, and the restaurant is a very cozy and place for dinner! really nothing, one of our best stays in Costa Rica (if not the best)!
- Sally (7/5): off the busy road, cool green garden and dining area, basic kurxhen facilities if needed. rooms quite small but clean. - reataurant area. location to beach and the bakery, supermarket etc although owners were helpful and polite when approached they did treat accommodation clients a bit like students, which we were not.
- Jessie (6/5): Don't pay 5% extra for your stay to use a card!! - Great location right in the centre of Santa Teresa, a few minutes walk to the beach and directly opposite a supermarket.
There are shops, restaurants and surf schools everywhere.
It's on a busy, dirt, main road but far back enough and surrounded by foliage to not be bothered by the noise. The garden was tranquil and we spotted some wildlife.
The breakfast was good (fruit, bread, cake, jam, tea, coffee or water). Giulio wasn't very welcoming when we arrived. Then told us we would be charged 5% extra to pay for our stay with a debit card because they have to pay 5% to the government. If thats true the 5% should be included in the price at the time of booking. After many hours travelling we were forced to go to a cash machine that didn't even give us cash. We complained to booking.com and the 5% additional charge was dropped. DONT PAY IT!!!
The tin roof in our room soaked up the sun and bakes during the day. Air con is needed.
No mosquito net on the window.
It would be nice to have a choice at breakfast and when I asked for orange juice I was told tea, coffee or water.
- Board (10/5): relaxing retreat for a week, close to the beach and everything you need - great location , very pretty place. delicious breakfast and delightful owners. rooms & facilities are basic but clean and comfortable. a good price for the location . would come back again 😊 nothing !
- Simon (9/5): great stay - basic facilities but clean and well appointed. proximity to beach great and delicious food - close proximity to the beach. friendly hosts. delicious breakfast included. useful shared kitchen/fridge and supermarket right across the street.
do eat at the restaurant as the food is really very good - however one complaint - see below we had a great meal at the restaurant - I would highly recommend it - delicious tapas.
the one gripe is that even though we were staying in the accommodation and we were told that the tap water was fine to drink, when we asked in the restaurant at dinner for tap water with our (expensive but worth it) meal we were refused, saying they did not have it (even though the same host told us the day before that tap water is fine) - and were forced to pay $2 for “filtered water”
air con would have been nice but was not really required as the ceiling fans are more than sufficient and keep the mosquitos away
- Victoria (10/5): Exceptional - We loved it! Super clean and tidy. Great decoration style. The breakfast was amazing.
- Siem (7/5): Good -
- Hannah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (9/5): Superb - it was a pleasure to stay at this place. the owner helped me a lot. he is very kind and helpful. the place with the little garden is a good place and a bit away from the noise of the street. i would stay there again
- Melanie (8/5): Short but nice - Mauro was very nice and welcoming, always checking on us, making sure everything is fine. The Breakfast was great! I loved it! There was no mosquito net in the window, but luckily we managed to keep them out of the room.
- Lee (10/5): Exceptional -
