- Cheryl (7/5): Good place - Location facing ocean. Close to restaurants and bars. Nice owner. Laundry available. Room large clean and great a/c which is needed as it's very hot. Close to ferry and many street festivals Everything was nice but had a bug issue only in kitchen so we did no cooking. Owner notified. At night hard to watch TV or sleep as street music was unbearably loud.
- belkis (1/5): - El tipo me canceló prefirió un hombre

- Arguedas (1/5): No se puede ir a ese lugar usted hace la reservación y llegas al hotel y te dicen no hay alojamiento - Nada, mal servicio no me hospedaron me dijo el dueño q no tenía lugar para hospedarme así de tranquilo Lo irresponsable
- Lopez (10/5): -
- Dominik (1/5): Forced to stay in different accommodation and pay more - Check in took an hour. Once I arrived, the host told me there was a problem with the room i booked, and sent me to a different address for an alternative, but forced me to pay a higher price. The accommodation I stayed in was fine, was still cheaper than anything in the vicinity that night, but being forced to pay more than the booking.com price is a straight up scam.
- Anja (3/5): Sind vor der Übernachtung abgereist - Verständnisvoller Vermieter, durften ohne Zahlung abreisen. Doppelzimmer oben ist grundsätzlich in Ordnung. Die gesamte Wohnung mit den drei Zimmern hat extrem nach einer Chemikalie gestunken, was Kopfweh verursacht hat und Sorge um die Gesundheit. Der Vermieter meinte, das sei normal, aber sowas haben wir in 4 Wochen in einfachen Unterkünften nicht erlebt. Es roch nach Schädlingsbekämpfung.
Gemeinschaftsbad sah furchtbar aus, komplizierter Vorgang mit Schlössern, Codes und unzähligen Schlüsseln.

- Gioconda (6/5): - Mas o menos Mucha bulla en pa calle , no tiene parqueo. Es complicado las instrucciones para entrar. Paredes despintadas , baño con moho. No hay donde poner la maleta , hay q ponerla en el suelo.
- Angélique (6/5): Bien pour ceux qui aiment la cohabitation - Chambre propre et assez spacieuse. Emplacement sympas près de la mer. Salle de bain et sanitaire partagés et très petit.
- Hilary (8/5): - A good location for getting the ferry, owner was super friendly and kind. kitchen was okay, a bit basic Strong smell of bleach in the bathroom and some other chemicals.
- Salas (10/5): -
- Denise (5/5): Prima voor een nacht, maar neem oordoppen mee! - Het bed ligt goed! En de airco op de kamer is een prettige bijkomstigheid. De eigenaar woont ernaast en heeft tot de late uurtjes ONTIEGELIJK hard muziek gedraaid. Slapen was niet te doen. Ik ben dus ook niet uitgerust wakker geworden. En dan vind ik het de prijs niet waard!
- Valeria (10/5): - Todo bien
- Cruz Diaz (9/5): - Bien Si
- Padilla (10/5): Buena experiencia - La ubicación y las instalaciones y el dueño muy buena persona
- ShirleyBarq (1/5): old, dirty and unsafe place - Nothing It was dirty, I parked on the street, someone broke a window and stole a suitcase, the property keys don't work

- Annina (8/5): -
- Chanes (4/5): Disappointing -
- Ann (7/5): Good - The apartment had a nice terrace with sea view. Walking distance (5-10 minutes) to the ferry and to tour boat. Air condition in the bedrooms. Nice and helpful host. We stayed Friday and Saturday night, and there was street race with high music and racing motors outside the apartment all night. This is nothing our kind host could help, and it was a lot better Sunday night.
- Mateaaetam (10/5): Felt like home – 10/10 stay thanks to Victor :) - Everything was great! The location is perfect, the room was clean and comfortable, and we felt very welcome. Victor is an amazing host, he is friendly, helpful, and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. There’s nothing we didn’t like, everything met (and even exceeded) our expectations!
- Magdalena (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice host, very good and easy contact and nice apartment with sea view from the terrace.
- Lurdes (7/5): Nice location. - Great location, helpful hosts Kitchen practically unusable, furniture poorly put together, no effort to make the place comfortable for guests
- Christopher (10/5): Good value place to stay right in the heart of Puntarenas. - I liked how close this place was to many restaurants and the beach (where you can see a wonderful sunset view). The owner was very friendly and gave me advice on my bicycle trip going south.
- Salli (3/5): You get what you pay for. - The location was good for walking on the beach. We never saw another person, the locks were difficult to open. The correspondence over WhatsApp with the owner seemed to require a lot more back and forth to establish a plan for payment than it should have.
- Lurdes (7/5): Good potential but neglected and lacking comfort - Lacking adequate furniture and kitchen needs improvement. Great location and host very friendly. Did not seem cared for. Bathroom has some loose tile pieces on wall that clothes may get caught on. Cannot do laundry and no stove in kitchen. Not enough plates or cutlery for house guests. No coffee or tea
- Xenia (9/5): Nice for a short stay - Very good for a short stay. The hosts are very kind and helpful. Viktor also speaks a bit English. Kitchen had everything you needed. Common space is nice and everything is clean.
Puntarenas is busy on weekends (only locals) and quiet during the week. I booked the single room, which was downstairs and only had a small window to the landry area. It had a ventilator, however the air inside was very humid, stuffy and hot - wouldn't recomend booking it.
- Steven (9/5): Superb -
- Robert (8/5): Staff was very helpful and present - Clean and comfortable
- Tina (4/5): Disappointing stay - Full kitchen with cold water in fridge was very nice. Sitting area/dining area in front was great with a fan. Bed was comfortable and the A/C was cold. TV was good with provided cable box. In the shower stall, had a drip line from the A/C just hanging there dripping water. Lots of noise from outside, not just cars/motorbikes, but dripping water and banging from some machine or something. Floors weren't clean, dust in corners. Complicated locks, multiple locks and keys made securing the location difficult. Parking was very tight for an SUV and the locking gate would get stuck in the locked position, had to open from the outside to get it unlocked. No receipt for payment in cash.
- Marius (10/5): Excellent Stay with Outstanding Hospitality!" - The accommodation was fantastic! Great location close to the ferry in Punta Arenas. The hostess was incredibly kind, and her husband even gave us a ride to the bus station in the morning. Absolutely recommend!
- Steve (7/5): One night maximum here in order to catch the ferry - The location was close to the ferry and to restaurants, etc. The lady is lovely. The property was fine, but Puntarenas is a very dirty and noisy city. There is garbage everywhere and at night it was difficult to sleep because of the loud music and traffic noises.
- Camilo (6/5): Good for a short stay - Easy to find Nothing useful in the kitchen
- Charlie (10/5): Exceptional - Had a lovely stay. Great location and the hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming!
- Ngan (9/5): Close to the ferry, comfortable bed - Nice room, comfortable pillows Keys each working differently, no signs of WiFi
- Gabriel (8/5): Very good - It was one person room, small bed but comfy, with full bathroom, value was cheap and comfortable, just in front of the beach. No A/C but a fan worked fine.
- Gal (10/5): amazing!! - Victor and his wife was super friendly and the location is amazing!
- Valerie (8/5): Very good - The host was super nice and helpful, the room was also good.
- Ajanel (10/5): Comfortable and feel very good welcomed - The host was awesome, made us feel like home and the location was also great Maybe that my room didn’t have a/c, already knew it but it’s def needed due to the hot wether over there and I think the room needs to be painted to clean the wall
Didn’t have soap in the shower
- Annabella (10/5): Exceptional - I have loved everything about this beautiful place. The host is an immensely generous person with his time and kindness. If I visit Puntarenas again, I would gladly repeat the experience. Everything was such a nice experience.
- Takemoto (8/5): Very good - Room was not lockable and I was upgraded
- Verastegui (10/5): Víctor is a great guy - Easy access to the beach N/A
- James (9/5): Beach And Excellent Value - Nicely located on the main beach strip of the Town. Friendly helpful owner and family. Good wifi. Excellent price for a room with bathroom. Not really a negative, but more along the lines of a room in a family house rather than a dedicated hostel.
- Holly (9/5): Pleasant! - Wonderful hosts! Nice and clean, comfy bed. Washing machine for laundry was a plus! Good location across from the beach. Was a great last minute find. Kitchen was lacking cooking ware (also, things like cooking oils/salt etc. are helpful when traveling!). I think the place was new so maybe they will stock it more soon.
- Iwona (8/5): Very good - the location is very poorly marked, it's hard to find, there are no numbers on the street.The person who welcomed me wanted to give me a room without a window. Then I refused, then he showed me another room which was also not the room I booked, seeing that I was dissatisfied, he said I could cancel the reservation. I showed him my reservation, that I had a room with a sea view. The third time he showed me the right room. This man I think he wanted to put me in a room cheaper than the one I booked, it was very rude of him .
- Bob (10/5): Fantastic hosts, comfy room and dolphin sightings! - Super friendly hosts, air conditioned room, access to kitchen to prepare our breakfast, and dolphins swimming by the beach.
- Luc (6/5): Avoid this place - No breakfast Nothing to do in Puntarenas, avoid this place
- Sherri (9/5): Ocean front comfort - Location , cleanliness, friendliness, value all excellent I'd give it a 10 if there was a stove for cooking
- Ronja (8/5): Very good - The hosts were relly nice and helpful. The view from the terrasse is great and the room was clean. The bathroom smelled a bit.
- Arnaud (9/5): Great place to stay. Outstanding - Great place to stay: a whole house on the beachfront. The owner lives next door, so perfect to get assistance.
3 rooms, which are not well described in booking: a large bedroom on the 2nd floor, a small/medium-size on the first floor, both with modern and well functionating AC. The last room in the basement is very tiny, has only a tiny window to the laundry room. Doable for one night, when you are really on budget travelling but not suitable for 2 ppl.
Great open kitchen, sofa in the living room and free laundry :-)
Great place to stay for one day but also for one week or longer. Really the bed we had in Costa Rica so far. The owner and his wife both do not speak english. This would make the communication for check-in a bit easier, but we made it! :-)
- Jim (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent value guest house in central sea front location. Vanessa the friendly host treated me to delicious coffee in the morning. Extremely comfortable bed and bathroom was right next to bedroom. Very classy and clean. Highly recommended for a stay in this underrated pleasant and peaceful untouristed seaside town.
- Earle (8/5): Very good - Location a 10 Room too small
- Leonie (10/5): Small room in a home-stay with really nice hosts! - The hosts were really nice!
- Le (10/5): Exceptional - Location, the owners/couple were extraordinary.
- Laura (5/5): Good location, friendly host, needs aircon as small hot room - Victor was extremely welcoming and friendly :) great location, on the beach by all the really good seafood restaurants. The room was sooooo hot inside, there was a fan but no aircon, it took me ages to fall asleep. A cockroach visited, I had to spray it with bug spray I found outside and there was no soap, shower gel or shampoo.
- Greg (10/5): Lovely hosts - The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The location on booking.com is not correct
- Gemma (8/5): Great location and lovely hosts - Our hosts were very friendly and kind, and gave us advice about our trip, as well as our onward journey. The location is excellent - very central and close to the beach! The room was clean and comfortable. Fantastic value for money! A large gap at the top of the bedroom door meant we didn’t feel we had too much privacy.
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - The location and it's very clean the staff was excellent Towels
