Guest Reviews
- Carina (8/5): - Is near the airport and the hotel overall is a little bit old everything looks pretty good
- Campos (8/5): - Deverian dar la clave del WIFI con la llave
- George (9/5): - I left to early for breakfast, but I had a meal of pork ribs that was amazing.
- Simon (8/5): -
- Paola (10/5): Buen hotel y buen servicio - Un hotel agradable, limpio y bien ubicado en Liberia No había jabón y Shampoo,
- Sanabria (9/5): Agradable - La piscina, el parqueo, la vegetación Que no tenía ni para hacerse un café
- LESLIE (8/5): -
- Jillian (2/5): - The staff were friendly enough. The restaurant was okay. The hotel was a short drive from the airport. We stayed at Hotel Las Espuelas for one night as we had an early morning flight and needed to be close to the airport. We only needed a room for a few hours as we needed to check out at 3:30 am. Therefore, we chose this hotel to avoid paying the price for some of the more expensive hotels. Another reason we chose this hotel was that the website stated that there was an airport shuttle, this was actually just a $30 US taxi paid by us. I made a mistake while booking and didn't type in two people. When we arrived we were told that it would be another $30 US for my husband. I apologized and felt this was fair as it was my mistake. The front desk said it was because breakfast was included which obviously we didn't have as we checked out at 3:30 am, again this was my mistake so didn't make a fuss. The reason for giving the hotel 1 star is that I cannot believe it is classified as a 3 star hotel! We stayed at several 3 star hotels in Costa Rica and aside from this one they were all wonderful. Our room was filthy (please see the attached photo of my husbands brand new white socks that he wore around the room). The bed sheets were thin and falling apart and the pillows were lumpy and stained, likely had not been replaced in years. The walls of the room were dirty, stained and had marks all over them. They are in dire need of a paint job. The bathroom was also gross and had no toiletries in it, no shampoo, no conditioner, not even soap! There was no ice machine at the hotel, nor was there a safe in the room.
How they justify charging $130 US (plus, plus) for a room that they can't bother to care for and clean properly is insane. Spend your money elsewhere!
- Erik (10/5): -
- Carlos (10/5): - Las habitaciones, son cómodas amplias y muy limpias
- Zuna (9/5): Buen nivel y buen descanso - El colchón y las almohadas.
Disposición de las habitaciones.
Piscina y otras dependencias, jardines, tranquilidad. Ideal para viajeros con coche! Me gustó todo
- Guillermo (6/5): Buena . - Es viejo pero mantenido ! Las camas ,no entiendo como un hotel no se preocupe por tener buenas camas,cuando se va a descansar!!
- Nathalie (8/5): - Belle piscine et personnel très aimable L'hôtel est vieillot et il n'y a rien aux alentours, il faut impérativement une voiture
- Sharon (8/5): -
- Melissa (8/5): - Me gustó lo limpio del cuarto, el desayuno estaba riquísimo. El personal de la recepción muy amable. Que el precio del restaurante para cenar está un poco elevado.
- Elizabeth (8/5): -
- Alex (7/5): Fue muy desestresante, tranquilo, atencion de sus empleados excelente y cordial. - Excelente Hotel, muy cómodo, muy limpio, excelente atención de su gente. La piscina es exactamente lo que buscaba, hubiera sido fantástico brindaran atención en el bar de la piscina para no salir a comprar. Tener que salir a comprar un baso para mi habitación, comprar hielo porque no había una refrigeradora en la habitación, precios de las cervezas un poco altos, en vez de mejorar los precios para que sus clientes no salgan a comprar afuera, hay muchos lugares para hacerlo, critica constructiva, entre mas tiempo pasen los clientes dentro de las instalaciones, con precios accesibles son mas ingresos para el hotel.
- Audrey (10/5): - It was gorgeous! The restaurant was a bit pricy and the shuttle cost 30usd even though ah uber to the airport is 8 dollars!
- Laura (7/5): A pleasant stay for a night before a flight - Spacious room, beautiful grounds, nice large pool, good air conditioning, decent breakfast Only two bath towels provided, no hand towels. Room furnishings were a little beat up
- Nancy (6/5): De más cuidado precio no va con los detalles para el cliente - Aseo Secador cabello malo llame para que lo cambiaran
Reserve para 3 solo 2 toallas llame y la tragieron
Aire acondicionado nunca enfrió quedaron que mantenimiento llegaba pero nunca llego
- Felipe (4/5): - Nada destacó. Mala atención.
- Jesus (10/5): Práctico y cerca de la ciudad - La ubicación, la habitación práctica. El desayuno estaba frío y no había refrigeradora en la habitación.
- Bruce (8/5): -
- FELICITO D (5/5): It was ok - Location Breakfast

- Chirley (10/5): -
- Gerardo Solís (8/5): -
- Carlos (9/5): Buenas opción en Liberia - Piscina y ubicación Camas y almohadas
- Angie (8/5): Overall this was a good hotel. - We stayed here for just one night for an early transport to the airport. The staff was efficient, the pool was nice, we enjoyed a snack and drinks at the restaurant. They arranged us a taxi for the morning. The AC wasn’t very good so our room was pretty hot and a coffee maker in the room would have been nice because we left too early to have the free breakfast.
- Mollie (8/5): Convenient stay near Liberia airport. Friendly staff, good food and lovely grounds on the property. - We ate at the restaurant and the service was very good. The food came out quickly and was very tasty. They had a great bartender as well. They are not the fanciest of fixtures in the room, but the room was clean, quiet, and everything worked.
- carlos (9/5): - Todos bien Todos bien
- Gabriel (7/5): -
- Guylaine (3/5): - la porte de la salle de bain n’ouvrait pas de l’intérieur et propreté de la chambre moyenne. A l’extérieur c’était bien.
- James (9/5): A visit to the past in a rustic ranch style accommodation. Perfect for Liberia - It was like a retro stay in a ranch style accommodation. The pool liner was needing attention. But it did not bother my stay.
- Víctor (10/5): Hotel Las Espuelas. Muy bueno. - Excelente piscina. Rico desayuno y buena ubicación. Café gratis en la habitación.
- Sunshine (10/5): -
- Tekela (8/5): Nice, relaxing, and budget friendly spot for a night before travel day! - Right near the airport for ease of travel, and such a bonus to have a restaurant with good food right there so you don't have to go anywhere. The bartender was so nice and gave us ice and glasses to chill our wine! The pool was huge and it was so nice that there is a separate kiddie pool. Because it was surrounded by trees, it definitely catches a good bit of leaf debris and bugs, but that can't really be helped. The detergent they use on the sheets was a bit strong for our sensitive skin.
- Eugenia (7/5): -
- Camilo (7/5): Bien para 2 dias, hotel de siempre - Muy limpio, cuarto en general bien, buen internet, piscina grande y muy limpia La cama matrimonial muy pequeña, calidad precio podria ser mejor
- Dr mary (4/5): - Basic, clean, good meals Lights with no plugs in bit of a joke, further from airport and traffic a real problem, thin towels though clean, reasonable priced
- Erica (10/5): place was perfect!! exceeded expectations, my parents had a delayed flight and needed to stay somewh - place was perfect!! exceeded expectations, my parents had a delayed flight and needed to stay somewhere near Liberia airport last minute and this place was lovely! super friendly, clean, nice pool, easy to park and get there. we will come back! nothing
- McCraw (10/5): -
- Glen (10/5): -
- Albert (9/5): -
- Díaz (3/5): Experiencia desagradable - La ubicación La forma en la que resuelven las situaciones, se nos presentó una situación y en lugar de resolverla de inmediato, se esperaron a que fuéramos a tomar el desayuno para decirnos que no estaba incluido. El desayuno estaba feo y solo había una opción.
- Trine (7/5): -
- Zumbado (10/5): Piscina y locación excelente - La piscina muy limpia
- Grow (10/5): - It is quiet and the food is good and very reasonable!!!
- Anne (8/5): It was a little expensive for the area - Staff very welcoming Breakfast
- Paul (4/5): We have travelled a lot and this is the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed in - Check out No fridge in the room. No hot water for showering. They checked another room that they were going to move us to
and there was no hot water there either as it was in the same block. Eventually after an argument and refusal by the management to refund me for my second night we were moved to another room at the front of the hotel that had hot water. We were given an ice box as my wife needed to keep her medication cool. The weather in Costa Rica is hot, why on earth would you not have a fridge in the room. Every other hotel we stayed in had one. There was a coffee machine in the room but no coffee, milk nor sugar. When we were moved to the other room it was the same. We had to ask for the coffee as we were told it was complimentary and it should have been in the room.
The hotel management refused to speak to me in person and did it through the receptionist who was very kind.
- Gustavo (7/5): Ubicación estratégica - La ubicación, el lugar es un poco viejo Que es un poco viejo. Falta renovarse
- Jaime (10/5): -
- SLNI (9/5): -
- Luis (8/5): -
- Jon (6/5): -
- Lee (8/5): A nice place but lacking basic amenities for the price - I have stayed at Las Espuelas at least 4 times in the past. At some point, the cost went up a fair amount. I decided to stay at Los Boyeros in town in spite of some negative reviews. I was pleasantly surprised there and when I stayed at Las Espuelas the following night, I had the chance to compare them. I still like Las Espuelas, but I think it is over priced. Here are amenities that Las Espuelas lacked: there was no safe in the room, no water glasses were provided, no hand towels nor wash cloths. In the hotel there was no place to fill a water bottle, and no washing stations near the restaurant. I do like the overall setup and that it is located a bit outside of town. Staff has always been nice and the breakfast was good. I always chose a hotel that has a bar and restaurant with food available at almost any hour as is the case at Las Espuelas. In the room, a safe, hand towels and wash cloths, and water glasses would be reasonable amenities for a hotel in this price range. A place to fill water bottles would be nice in the main area
- arndt (8/5): -
- Peter (7/5): - Der Mann in der Anmeldung war absolute Spitze Keine negativen Erfahrungen gemacht
- Milagro (10/5): -
- Esau (7/5): -
- Diego Romero Alvarado (10/5): Óptima - Esta vez llegué practicamente a dormir nada más, pero todo fue rápido, el check in, el check out, las instalaciones de este lugar me gustan mucho, parece el típico lugar Guanacasteco.
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Adriana (8/5): Si regresamos a Liberia si volveríamos al hotel - El servicio al cliente exc! Al momento de hacer el check-in, todo el personal en general super amables. El desayuno ok, a la comida le faltaba sabor
- Bégin (9/5): Accueil bienveillant - Une piscine très bien est à notre disposition, le jardin et les couloirs sont très bien aménagés. Ce que j'ai préféré est la qualité du service! Les employés sont très gentils et bienveillants. Ma nuitée est tombée le soir d'une fête dans le secteur, et la musique et les cris de joie ont teinté cette nuit à l'hôtel. C'est certainement plus calme à d'autres moments.
- Daniel Sanabria (10/5): -
- rjra4 (7/5): - UBICACION Las habitaciones y ropa de cama ya estan un poco viejo.
- Luis (7/5): Para sobrevivir - El espacio El linóleo de la piscina, lo antiguo de la habitación y malos desayunos
- Morten (6/5): -
- Liliana (9/5): -
- María Graciela (7/5): - El personal excelente
Limpieza tambien
Me parece un poco caro para la habitacion standard Mayor comfort a la habitacion
- Stefanie (7/5): comfortable and convenient place at a reasonable price. - comfortable room, really relaxing grounds, quiet, easy access, great location, good price, very friendly and helpful staff. free parking right outside. it was mostly okay for me because I travel with a multiplug so I could plug a few things in at once to charge my devices, but there is only one accessible outlet (not a double, a single place to plug one thing) and it's in the bathroom. I'm not sure if this is the case in every room, but worth noting if you need to work and plug in your computer at the desk, or if you have more than one person in the room (just bring a power strip/multiplug to solve that).
- José (5/5): Hotel viejo y sin mantenimiento - Nada Habitaciones viejas, las puertas no cerraban bien, llavines en mal estado, personal desinteresado
- N. Quesada (8/5): Bien - La comida realmente no nos gustó, no saben cocinar buenos cortes ni términos, comida de baja calidad y pocas opciones pero el lugar es bonito, muy tranquilo, cerca del Centro de Liberia,así que se puede buscar restaurantes en otros lugares, el lugar es de fácil acceso, buen internet, hay muchos zancudos así que es recomendable llevar repelente, tiene psicina amplia y limpia, linda zona verde. Buen parqueo. Buena atención. La alimentación.
- Bonnie (10/5): Helpful staff and pool made the stay enjoyable. - Excellent staff. Pool was refreshing escape from the heat. Bar & restaurant on site. Not much nearby. Need a car or taxi.
- Joseph Acuna (7/5): - Los aires Acondicionados son viejos y suenan bastante, las habitaciones huelen raro

- שמריהו אבי (8/5): -
- Margaret (8/5): Clean, cheap and cheerful. - The property is well maintained and clean. The bed was comfortable. The gardens and landscaping is beautiful. The place met our needs for being close to the airport and clean. This is not a luxury hotel, but it is clean, cheap and cheerful.
- Sandra (10/5): Warm welcome and pleasant staff made our last night a beautiful send off and end to our trip! - From the moment we arrived the front desk staff was so friendly and welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we loved our room and location and that all was well. The intimate restaurant onsite had great local style food and the staff again was smiling, friendly and accommodating to our dietary needs. The staff make this a happy place to stay and was perfect the night before our flight and the huge pool & beautiful garden with palm trees etc was a bonus!
- Samuel (9/5): Superb -
- Hugh (8/5): Very nice location just outside of the busy area of Liberia, but close enough to everything. - The hotel was very clean and staff members were constantly cleaning and working.
- Claire (8/5): Very good -
- Desiree (7/5): Ok for one night but to expensive - The pool was nice , the hotel area is also nice and full of beautiful flowers and trees . It was also really quiet what was good. Service was nice and tried to help all the time. Restaurant was also good 👍 The bed was really uncomfortable and the rooms just to old and basic for the expensive price.

- Julia (10/5): Exceeded expectations - Very cute motel! Fun ranch/cowboy vibe! Food & drinks were excellent! Great wildlife!
- Ondrej (7/5): Good - There is not much choice of hotels in Liberia. For our last night before flying out it was fine. It's just by the highway, so easy access to the airport. It's a bit dated but our room was clean. Breakfast was very good. Price for what it is.
- Larry (9/5): Will stay again when we travel thru CR - Great breakfast
- Brian (8/5): Very good - Beautiful setting, quiet, lovely pool. Excellent food in the restaurant. Staff were very attentive and helpful, speaking English and Spanish as needed. Very good included breakfast of local flavor. Room and bathroom were old and worn looking. Need a refresh. With updated and new cosmetics, would give this place 5 stars.
- Ana-maria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (10/5): This was our second time staying at this hotel, both excellent experiences! - we were leaving to go back to USA the next AM, so that is why we were in Liberia..
- Dawn (7/5): Only pay for this if you want a pool - Easy to get to Old rooms, not worth $150/ night. Not enough staff at the restaurant, so really slow service.
- Mike (8/5): Very good -
- Charlene (9/5): Superb -
- Grant (8/5): Good value. - Good value. Nice outdoor space. Restaurant had good food. Bar was good. Staff were excellent. A bit dated and close to the highway but not bad.
