• Sarit (1/5): -
• Céliane (10/5): -
• Sara (9/5): Super lieve eigenaren die ook bereid zijn om je met van alles te helpen - Het ontbijt was fantastisch en de eigenaren echt super lief. Tijdens het douchen kwamen er miljoenpoten uit het doucheputje je been opgekropen
• Stanton (10/5): -
• Everett (10/5): Near Hospital San Raphael - Location in-house taxi price Neighborhood
• Jaromir (10/5): - Great host and location. A bit difficult to find.
• Angelika (8/5): - Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis mit einfachem Zimmer, perfekt für eine unkomplizierte Übernachtung nach dem Flug. Problemlose Organisation des Flughafenshuttle (kostet 10$, unsere Ankunft war um 22:00Uhr).
• Everett (10/5): Hospital San Raphael - Location and in-house taxi price Neighborhood simple furnishings
• Julio Marras (9/5): -
• Lena (9/5): Sehr nette Gastgeber und ideale Lage für eine Nacht in der Nähe des Flughafens - Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft hatte eine gute Lage wenn man am Flughafen ankommt oder abreist.
• Tristan (7/5): -
• Amy (8/5): A welcoming, friendly stay with a wonderful family, extremely well placed for onward airport travel - A really lovely and welcoming family who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and easy, which was particularly important after a whole day of travelling and my flight taking off the next day. Really comfortable beds in a beautifully clean room, with air conditioning being a bonus! The host could not have been more flexible when it came to the timing for breakfast and even treated me to their home made empanadas and beautiful coffee! Really convenient location for an easy journey to the airport and would definitely recommend. The shower wasn’t massively warm unfortunately but a refreshing shower isn’t always a bad thing!
• Klaus (10/5): -
• Jessica (9/5): Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt zu empfehlen - Die Unterkunft war schnell vom Flughafen aus zu erreichen und als Bleibe für eine Nacht eine gute Lösung. Durch den Google Maps Link von der Gastfamilie hat man die Unterkunft gut finden können. Die Hausbesitzerin spricht hauptsächlich Spanisch und wenig Englisch, konnte sich aber dennoch gut verständigen. Uns wurde am Morgen ein traditionelles Frühstück zubereitet, was sehr lecker war. In dem kleinen Garten konnte man Kolibris beobachten. Das Bezahlen der Unterkunft ist in Euro, Dollar oder Colones möglich. Wir waren mit allem zufrieden
• Clara (10/5): - Me gustó la calidez, cercanía y hospitalidad con la que te trata Patricia. Es encantadora y muy ayudadora. Además es mejor hospedarse en una casa local que en un hotel. La experiencia cambia muchísimo. El lugar además olía bienby estaba limpio, lo cual se agradece.
• Philipp (9/5): So nice - Sehr nettes Personal Mücke im Zimmer
• Peter (8/5): - Patricia and Alexander were very friendly people. They were flexible with us about our arrival time, our payment method, etc. They were also helpful to us in recommending places to go in the neighborhood.
• Jop (10/5): -
• carlotta francesca (8/5): -

• Sylwia (8/5): wart swojej ceny - Pokój czysty, łazienka w porządku. śniadanie ok - jajecznica i tost. Super, że obiekt oferuje transfer na lotnisko Kiedy dotarliśmy na miejsce, właścicieli nie było na miejscu mimo, że zapowiedzieliśmy godzinę przyjazdu. Musieliśmy poczekać, ale tylko 10 minut.
• Juan Pablo (10/5): -
• Sarah (8/5): -
• Adinaell (9/5): Ótimo para ficar uma noite e não quer gastar muito em um hotel. - Local próximo ao aeroporto e ao local de alugar carros, bom para ficar uma noite de passagem. Como alugo carro na Budget, então fica muito próximo, voltaria sim. Única coisa é que não há estacionamento interno, mas não é empecilho, pois dá pra deixar na frente da casa e não aconteceu nada com o carro, local seguro.
• Antonio (8/5): -
• Jade (10/5): Lovely. Staff is so kind as well :) - Very homey and welcoming.
• Radek (10/5): -
• nykolaishyn (10/5): Ill stay here again - Great location. Restaurant nearby city mall is walking distance.. close to the airport

• Antonio (6/5): -
• Michael (8/5): Hosts were wonderful friendly accommodating. Alex gave us a drive to airport very early morning. - Left too early for breakfast No AC, but it's not very hot there at night. Just need a bit better airflow in the room and quieter fan.
• pipitone (10/5): Queer friendly - Location was perfect! Right next to the airport No complaints
• Britney (10/5): Welcoming and comfortable - The host was very flexible despite my flight getting in late and making a last minute reservation. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Patricia and Alejandro were very welcoming and talkative. The breakfast was good. Location was close to the airport and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Nothing
• Marzena (10/5): - Sehr nette Besitzer, sehr hilfsbereit. Haben uns sehr gute Restaurant empfohlen und konnten wir den Garten nutzen. Besitzer ist Taxi Fahrer und hat uns zum Flughafen gebracht.
• Gabriela (9/5): Gute Unterkunft in Flughafennähe - Patricia hat extra mitten in der Nacht auf uns gewartet, da unser Flug sehr spät ankam. Das Zimmer und das Bad sind einfach, aber zweckmäßig. Zum Frühstück gab es das beste Gallo Pinto der ganzen Reise! Man kann nur bar zahlen, aber es wurden auch Euro angenommen. Ein Mückennetz oder die Möglichkeit zur Befestigung eines mitgebrachten Netzes wäre noch super.
• Jorge (10/5): Muy cómodo, tranquilo, bonitas piezas y excelente ubicación cerca del aeropuerto - Muy tranquilo, cómodo y las personas muy amables, además de la ubicación a 10 minutos del aeropuerto No aplica
• Anne (9/5): A lovely welcome to CR - Patricia and Alexander were charming, they picked us up from the airport and made us all feel so welcome in their home. We enjoyed the use of the garden, and we were able to stay when our transfer vehicle was delayed the next day. The Costa Rican breakfast was delicious! Pura vida Nothing, very happy with our stay

• Annie (10/5): Comfortable and well situated b&b - Very comfortable b&b, amazing hosts, very close to the airport and to a mall (to eat). Taxi service available to go to airport (no worry about missing a flight). No negative points.
• Taylor (10/5): - The lady was very friendly and accommodating. The warmth was immediately felt. The space was clean and exceeded expectations.
• Pilz (9/5): - Perfekt zum Ankommen oder für die Abreise.
• Gaëlle (8/5): Hôte très serviable et disponible. Nous a aidé lors de notre arrivée un peu chaotique et pour nous organiser à prendre n - La disponibilité de l’hôte qui est même sortie à 1h du matin nous chercher dans la rue car notre avion arrivait tard. À proximité de l’aéroport. Confort minimal mais bien. Propre.
• Helen (10/5): A wonderful home from home. - Patricia welcomed me into her home and made me feel very comfortable. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the garden was lovely. Patricia helped me to order food and a taxi in the morning. Highly recommended if you need to be near the airport or bus stations. I will definitely stay here again. Nothing.
• Jill (9/5): Homey vibe - Convenient and cost friendly for a quick overnight layover. Hosts were very accommodating for my late night arrival. Coffee and breakfast were good. They shuttled me to the airport after breakfast. I felt very welcome in their home.

Nos tuvimos que buscar la vida, por suerte hay taxis en el aeropuerto al mismo precio

• Pereyra (10/5): -
• Nathalie (8/5): - Patricia était très aimable avec nous, nous avons passé une nuit au calme après notre vol d arrivée au Costa Rica. Petit déjeuner inclus appréciable ! L' emplacement difficile à trouver mais proche aéroport.
• Sayaka (10/5): -
• Nathalie (8/5): -
• Justyna (10/5): Polecam każdemu, szczególnie przed jak i po locie do Kostaryki. - Na śniadanie do wyboru była jajecznica z grzankami albo ryż z fasolą, jajecznica i grzankami. Próbowałam obu i obydwa warianty były bardzo smaczne. Właściciele są bardzo mili i serdeczni. Z tyłu jest mały ogródek gdzie można usiąść i spędzić miły wieczór ze znajomymi. Nic

• Katrin (8/5): - Super situiert in der Nähe zum Flughafen. Frühstück gibt es auch früher. Wir würden sehr nett empfangen, auch wenn wir lange ein Problem am Flughafen lösen mussten. In der Nähe gibt es Soda zum Abendessen. Perfekt, wenn man früh weiterfliegt. Uber zum Flughafen ca. 2500 Colones
• Patricia (8/5): -
• El Jaguar (9/5): Gre ⁷vat place, hidden gem. - Very clean and comfortable. It is small but very comfortable. Alexander and Patricia are excellent hosts. Can't say enough nice things about them. Definitely will go back. Their place is a little hidden. Waze takes you close but there is tiny little street(alley) you turn right on from where it takes you. If you are driving there yourself, get clarification on the directions. It doesn't look like a neighborhood or street where you would expect a place to stay. Looks a little scary, but I, an older man, walked around the neighborhood at night and was fine. You go past the gym and a little soda and then turn right down a little alley just before the end of the road.
• Taylor (10/5): -
• Andreas (10/5): -
• Joaquim (10/5): -
• Cidália (10/5): - Tudo: da simpatia da Patrícia, da limpeza imaculada, do conforto do quarto e da cama. O pequeno-almoço estava muito saboroso. Ainda conseguimos comprar no local um cartão sim local. Muito perto do aeroporto, é ideal para quem chega tarde de noite ou tem de apanhar o avião muito cedo. Recomendo a 100% Nada. Tudo perfeito!

• Bobbig (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect spot if you need to be close to the airport, room is spacious with big bathroom and a hot shower. Super comfortable bed. Patricia was so nice to let me stay in the room after check out to wait for my time to go to the airport. They offer taxiservice for a good price. They have a cute little dog. Simple breakfast includen. Walking distance to the mall to kill some time. Would stay again.
• Tom (10/5): Clean comfortable room, delicious breakfast and a very welcoming proprietor. - We checked in late and left mid-morning the next day. Breakfast was excellent. Our host Patricia took very good care of us and met us around midnight to check us in. We were also able to take a taxi that was on the property to the bus station, very convenient. The room was clean and neat and completely quiet during the evening.
• Tracey (8/5): Easy, clean, friendly host. - Lovely host. Clean, near airport and one of hosts is taxi driver who can take to airport. Breakfast included. It was a little noisy during day from neighbour. There isn’t much in immediate area to eat. A sign outside would be good as I had to knock on neighbours to figure out which house.
• Marta (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean place with amazing owners. The owner is also a taxi driver and took us to the airport at 4 AM for a very reasonable price.
• Mirela (9/5): Superb - Everything went smoothly, the owner is very kind. We only slept one night and grabbed the plane in the morning. The airport is just 25-30 minutes walking distance.

• Dov (10/5): Amazing basic home stay near airport. Best hosts - Booked this for one night near airport for early morning flight. It’s very close 5 mins from airport. Booked room with private bath was located in back patio. This is someone’s house but they have 4 rooms they rent. Clean, basic, comfortable. Host was very nice. Her husband is a taxi driver and took me to airport next morning at 5 am. He charged $8 very reasonable. wonderful place would stay again Uber driver that dropped me off told me that area wasn’t safe to walk at night. It’s a small residential street with a few places to eat. Didn’t bother me as I wasn’t leaving room but good to know.
• Emelie (10/5): Exceptional - Super nice staff that helped us when we got some trouble with the transport to the next location. Great breakfast!
• Katherine (10/5): A great place to stay that is close to the airport. - The owner was so kind and accommodating. We stayed upon our arrival and departure to Costa Rica. The B&B was very close to the airport. We arrived late (the first stay) and had to leave super early on both stays. The host stayed up late to greet us, and made us an early breakfast on both days. She was extremely pleasant. The location was a bit challenging to find but with a good GPS, you will be fine. There are also places to eat within walking distance.
• Gina (9/5): Superb - Patricia & Alex were wonderful hosts. Location was very clean and well looked after. Because of the lateness of the Flight Alex wasn't able to pick us up. A taxi however had no trouble finding the place. Breakfast was delicious. For a small nominal fee, Alex took us to our car rental next day and picked us up from rental upon our return, then delivered us the next day to the airport,. Neighborhood is authentic Costa Rican, with local eateries & pulperias close by. I would definitely stay there again ❤️
• Helene (9/5): Superb -
• Tomas (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly and helpful people with a beautiful room and patio. Thank you for letting me stay in your beautiful home.
• Sara (10/5): Exceptional - Convenient location, friendly and helpful hosts, nice property. Seeing a bird living in a cage right outside our room made us sad. Birds are born to fly.
• Marta (10/5): Exceptional -
