Guest Reviews

• Mordecay (8/5): -
• Angie (10/5): -
• Danny (5/5): - La localización Un olor muy desagradable en todo el hotel como aguas de desecho
• Fernando (9/5): -
• Luis Mariano (10/5): - Todo bien Se ve un poco descuidado por fuera pero las habitaciones son bonitas y comodas
• Pedro (3/5): - Nada Ofrecen cosas q no tienen
• f463cefe914370a6577c777e453350f1 (8/5): Great location, friendly staff, clean property - Location makes this hotel awesome, park your car and walk anywhere in the town, only need the car to tour the neighboring towns. Walk out from the lobby, cross the street in you are on the beach, very cool location. Coffee all day available, the kitchen makes it easy to bring home leftovers, cook breakfast if you wish, full size fridge in unit. The bathroom has hot water, it is usable and clean but it could use a little TLC. On our units window, half of it was covered by the adjacent cabin/villa, not pretty to look at, Overall for the price it is not bad
• 90668db785f37364330653d1d94ba124 (7/5): - La ubicación es increíble y las chicas de recepción super atentas y serviciales en todo momento. El lugar es tranquilo y nos sentimos muy seguros. Las instalaciones necesitan mantenimiento en general y principalmente limpieza de desagües ya que en algunos momentos huele mal.

• serge (4/5): Bruyant,sans équipement et vétuste. - Personnel agréable et qui fait son possible pour vous aider. Emplacement en face de la plage. Très bruyant car la route passe devant et c'est du passage incessant. A la réservation on parle d'une kitchenette....OK. mais pas équipée! Une casserole et une petite poêle qui est proche de la fin de vie!. Pas assez d'assiette, couvert etc... La salle de bain éculée. Pas de coin au calme pour déjeuner. Les photos sont vraiment trompeuses. L'hôtel mérite un rafraîchissement total. Très cher pour ce que c'est.
• Jonathan (7/5): Ubicación excelente, limpieza general y agua caliente! - La ubicación es genial, cerca de todo, el cuarto bien limpio.
• Cecilie (8/5): -
• Denis Martís (6/5): Adecuado para una estancia corta, pero con instalaciones antiguas y precio elevado. - Está bien ubicado y cumplió perfectamente con lo que necesitábamos para una noche de urgencia, ya que no teníamos nada reservado. Ofrecen café gratis, la piscina está limpia y cuentan con un patio interior muy agradable y relajante. Las instalaciones son bastante antiguas y echamos en falta algo de renovación. Además, se escuchaba mucho el ruido de la calle. Nos pareció que el precio era elevado en relación al servicio ofrecido.
• JOAO FRANCISCO (8/5): -
• Denyse Tr (7/5): - L' hôtel offre du café le matin et il y a une cuisinette dans la chambre j' ai apprécié le fait que ma chambre se situait au rez de chaussée face a la piscine Il y a trois marches dans la chambre pour accéder à la salle de bains et cuisinette. L' eau de la piscine n' était pas propre ni claire à mon arrivée cela a pris quelques jours avant de pouvoir s y baigner. Il n' y a aucun fauteuil confortable pour s asseoir à cet hôtel. Situé à l' extrémité du village et de l' autre côté de la rue de la mer
• Dorelyn (10/5): -

• Sanchez (10/5): - La limpieza del lugar Todo muy bien
• Manuel Emilio (6/5): Hotel se quedó obsoleto en el tiempo . No hay inversión - Instalaciones bien ubicadas , no obstante , la infraestructura está desactualizada El hotel necesita renovación
• Gerardo (7/5): Lugar céntrico - Atención del personal Bañera con aspersión dañada, refrigeradora la perita no cerraba bien y por tanto enfriaba poco
• Tyra (10/5): 10/10 - Rooms were clean and big!
• Allen (7/5): - Ubicación Instalaciones deterioradas
• Luis Diego (1/5): - Todo alojamiento tiene la obligación de tener su alcantarillado funcionando adecuadamente. El baño no está funcionando al momento de recibir la habitación y en lugar de enviar a una persona de mantenimiento le dicen al huésped aquí tiene la repárelo y me avisas cómo le va. Inadmisible y hace la habitación inhabitable
• Pedro (10/5): -
• Aaron (10/5): -
• Jinnelle (7/5): Betza was the best concierge and receptionist, she went above and beyond for me and my family she’s the only one who tru - Location was excellent AC was not working properly, we arrived extremely exhausted from another long trip and were extremely thirsty, usually hotels provide little bottles of water but this one doesn’t provide anything. I would suggest adding little bottles of water for the comfort of the passengers sometimes we come from very far and a few bottles of water would’ve been nice. Also I asked for an Iron for clothes, and the hotel did not have one which I found very weird because all hotels have these things, had to change my whole outfit because they didn’t have an Iron , anyways it was just ok , location was great though.
• Ida (10/5): Love it, vil absolutt komme tbake - Hyggelig personal! Midt i smørøyet! Kunne vært litt mer «moderne»
• Zuniga (10/5): Muy bonito - La ubicación excelente y la muchacha muy amable todo muy limpio
• Keylor (4/5): - el servicio al cliente el personal de recepción muy amable y atento las fotos de la habitación no son la mismas que salian en la pagina considero que el precios es muy elevado para lo que se ve ya en fisico
• RITA (9/5): -
• Katie (4/5): More like a backpacker hostel with shocking prices. - The lovely helpful receptionist and free coffee with an excellent bakery right next door! Dilapidated building that has seen no love and care or updates for many years. We had originally booked for 2 nights but luckily they agreed to refund our second night as we really didn’t want to be there. The sheets on our bed didn’t fit and the pillows looked like they had chopped up pieces of foam sewn into a towel and then put into a pillowcase on the bed. Everything in the room was so cheap and awful. The curtains didn’t fit and were ripped, the towels were frayed, the floor was filthy etc etc. The hotel was far more akin to a shabby backpacker hostel than a hotel. And the noise on the busy street! The icing on the cake was the exorbitant prices charged - £135 per night!!! So out of kilter for what was delivered.
• Fabiana (7/5): Algunas mejoras - El personal muy atento y amable, la habitación era bonita y el hotel muy tranquilo El exterior del hotel realmente no es tan lindo como se ve en las fotos, el piso de la habitación le falto barrerlo mejor, el baño de la habitación tenía un olor muy poco agradable deberían poner algún aromátizante o una mejor desinfectación, el hotel tiene restaurante me parece que por el precio deberían incluir desayuno.
• Kristel (10/5): Paola y Valeria de limpieza fueron super amables y dejaron todo super limpio, recepción siempre estuvo atento a cualquie - Localizada en el puro centro de Puerto viejo. Cerca de absolutamente todo Me gustó mucho todo, super bien equipada
• Jose (9/5): -
• Tirza (9/5): -
• Vivian (6/5): Playa - Ubicación Un poco descuidado las habitaciones
• Pamela (4/5): - Uns hat die Lage gefallen. Leider in die Jahre gekommen, Einrichtung veraltet und verkommen. Möbel und die Unterkunft veraltet und beschädigt, außerdem kein trink Wasser.
• Erick (10/5): - Es mi cuarta vez que voy me gusta mucho Todo estuvo bien
• Villarreal castro (10/5): - Great location , amazing pool , great personnel
• Eduardo (9/5): - La atencion de Giuliana fue muy buena, siempre bien dispuesta y amable. La habitacion estaba completa y limpia. Excelente ubicacion y cafeteria al lado de primera..
• Mojca (10/5): - Very clean, in the center 😃
• Jacqueline (10/5): Excelente atención al cliente - La ubicación es excelente,el vehículo queda con seguridad y se puede ir caminando al centro de Puerto Viejo. Tuvimos un inconveniente con el aire acondicionado de la habitación y el personal se preocupo y en todo momento estuvieron pendientes de que se resolviera el problema! Es nuestra segunda visita y esperamos regresar, muchas gracias Juliana y Betsabé por tan excelente atención y estar pendientes de nosotros en todo momento!
• Yahaira (10/5): - La atención muy buena
• Everton (10/5): Great caribean experience with beach sounds - Hotel is great, room are big and comfortable. It’s an excellent option to stay in Puerto Viejo with family and friends. It’s quiet and peaceful. Pool area is great to close the day after the beach. Staff is great and very thoughtful. Thank you Betzabeth, Juliana, Paola and Valeria. For treating us so great as always. It was my 8th+ time already staying there. It could have food options available in the property for flexibility. For me usually traveling alone with kids. However there are a lot of restaurants in less than 50 meters.

• Saida Rodríguez Rayo (6/5): -
• Bernhard (7/5): -

• Daniela Zumbado C (6/5): Excelente ubicación, experiencia no confortable - La ubicación El cuarto olía demasiado a humedad, se escucha todo el ruido del piso de arriba y por las paredes, lamentablemente no tienen servicio de restaurante, y las chicas se quejaban porq tenían que hacer café, malos acabados constructivos en "suites", mala calidad de almohadas. Me he quedado muchos años atrás y este año a sido la peor experiencia.

No me gusto que tuviéramos problemas con el aire acondicionado de la habitación 3 y el televisor de la habitación 6. Deberían cambiar el piso de afuera la piscina ya que mojado es super resbaloso. Y tratar de controlar el olor a humedad en las habitaciones.
• Marcela (10/5): Bonito - Todo Nada
• Viviana (10/5): -
• Félix Alberto (5/5): -
• Ryan (7/5): Quick stay located right in town - It’s located right in town. There’s a balcony over looking the Main Street. Our room was very noisy, to be expected because it was right in the front of the hotel. The shower head only had three streams of water coming out.
• Jimmie (10/5): The staff makes Lizard King an enjoyable place to stay. I will be back again! - A/C, pool, location, free coffee all day, and the staff is so nice and helpful! The beds are very comfortable. N/A
• Jimmie (8/5): I enjoyed my stay, I might stay there again.Just wished they would include breakfast and coffee - Close to town, comfortable beds, A/C, staff, and pool. They no longer have free coffee or breakfast included.
• Stanley (9/5): The staff is extremely friendly and service oriented. They make staying in this hotel something wort -
• Jimmie (9/5): I would stay there again if they offered coffee and breakfast included. - Location, clean, nice pool, comfortable beds, and staff. Pool towels! It used to have free coffee and breakfast included.
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adriana (10/5): Close to everything in Puerto Viejo! - Located in the center of Puerto Viejo, many places nearby to eat or have fun. Staff were nice and the property has parking at the back. The rooms were clean and A/C worked amazingly! Would definitely come back! NA
• Gary (8/5): Overall a good stay. The staff were very helpful. - The location was great. The pool was great. Close to the beach and restaurants. Some areas needed repairs.
• Juan (8/5): Very good -
• Adriana (10/5): Nice stay in the middle of everywhere in Puerto Viejo. - The room was exactly as in the picture, comfy beds and A/C worked perfect. It is located next to many cafes, restaurants and the beach is accross the street. The pool was clean and staff super friendly. They also have a parking in the back which was great.
• Stacey (9/5): Superb - Location,and the beds were very comfortable
• Patricia (7/5): Overall it was a good stay. - Although it is an older 2 storey board building that had seen better days, i did like the character of it. Room was very spacious, loved the kitchen area (although we didn't cook). Adequately furnished with dining table, private balcony overlooking the street etc. Comfortable beds and a/c. Walking distance to restaurants, beaches, supermarkets and activities etc. On arrival, my heart sank when i saw the room, nothing like the pictures. After a visit back to the front desk, the receptionist said the owner agreed to change the room. We ended up with one of the rooms from the pictures and i was happy again. Bathroom was small with no counter for personal items. Wooden floors were creaky. Didn't like that we had to get the receptionist to open the side gate for parking each time we arrived or left, but happy there was some off street parking. The room overlooked the main road and was very noisy through the night, that was not a problem for me.
• Kelly (8/5): Very good - Relaxed environment. Welcoming 😃 smiles Too short of a trip
• Bryony (4/5): Lacklustre - Very little to like with it being so overpriced. It just had no vibe. No love. Clean but musty rooms and nothing goes back into property.
• Hair (10/5): Exceptional - Killer location clean room nice spot German bakery next door😁
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - Front desk staff was very helpful with recommendations for around the area.
• Paul (7/5): Great location. - Room very comfortable. Great location with very easy access to centre of town. Great air-conditioning. Most of staff very friendly. No problem with the property. Could have done without Room 4 playing loud music and smoking something herbal all afternoon/evening by the pool.
• Mauricio (8/5): Good hotel with a great location for exploring puerto viejo - Good rooms, nice beds, good location, friendly staff, safe parking Swimming pool PH was definitely above levels, my daughters and some other friends got skin rashes both days after swimming in it
• Mieke (10/5): Wonderful stay - The hotel has a great location, loads of restaurants and shops around. Nice pool to cool off in. Staff is really friendly! Nothing.
• Everton (9/5): Superb -
• Karolína (9/5): Superb - We had a big room with two big comfortable beds, AC and a kitchen - very nice staying in a great location. The staff was very kind. There is no drinkable tap water (we asked about it) so you have to buy some bottles for yourself.
• Simon (7/5): Good - Nice pool, kitchen in our room was good and dishes and utensils to cook. Room was quite dark, almost no natural light as the windows look onto a wall and construction site fence.
• Anna (1/5): Bad -
• Katja (8/5): Very good - It is a good location at Puerto Viejo. All is close by, like beach, restaurants, shops. The bakery right next to it is also a plus. The staff was really friendly It is on a noisy street

• Pamela (1/5): Bad -
• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
