- John (10/5): EXCEPTION GEM 💎 WILL RETURN ☝🏽 - The Owners were EXTREMELY accommodating with respect to everything requested. There is a full kitchen, washers and dryers for use - Huge load of self-serve washing clothes cost $1…!!! Located close to all outdoor activities - I suggest the “full-day boat tour”, which included stops at several beaches, fresh fruit snacks, day snorkeling, lunch on one of the beaches, night swimming and snorkeling 🤿 in a bioluminescent bay… Absolutely Nothing…☝🏽
- Khristian Eduardo (9/5): - Me gustó mucho que tuviera una piscina
- meza (8/5): -
- Cos Cincuenta Ycuatro (10/5): - Me gustó mucho el trato sencillo, por parte del personal y una habitación grandísima. Y un baño reparador, en la piscina al final de la jornada.
- Swetlana (8/5): - Die Hosts sind suuuper freundlich Die Pool-area ist ansoch total schön, könnte aber konsequenter gereinigt werden - insbesondere der Pool.

- Reto (2/5): Wir sind trotz zwei bezahlter Nächte nach einer weiter gereist. Wie das Rating zu Stande gekommen ist, ist rätselhaft. - Die beiden Katzen waren niedlich. Das erste Zimmer hatte keine Klimaanlage und müsste renoviert werden. Eine Einrichtung war kaum vorhanden. Auf Nachfrage haben wir ein Zimmer in einem anderen Gebäude direkt an der Strasse erhalten. Dieses war ebenso lieblos wie unvollständig. In der Nacht war wegen der lauten Nachbarn und der Strasse nicht an Schlaf zu denken.
- Percy (8/5): -
- Damien (5/5): Vraiment moyen pour le prix - La piscine et c'est tout Beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité/service. Bruyant. Salle de bain vraiment délabrée.
- Esteban (10/5): - Todo muy lindo
- Zeledon (7/5): -
- Benoit (8/5): Très bon rapport qualité prix -
- Jimmy (1/5): Innommable - La piscine correcte c'est tout Ce type d'établissement n'a pas à figurer sur booking. Descriptif mensonger.prix exorbitant pour un boui boui bruyant sale pas aux normes électriques, les fenêtres ne ferment pas, eau chaude bof... Aucun mobilier digne de ce nom.viue sur la piscine c'est vue sur les voitures au bord d'une route bruyante, cuisine infâme, sale, on ose pas utiliser le frigo type auberge de jeunesse.. A A EViter a tout prix même pour 20 dollars J'avais choisi une chambre de 40 mètres carrés elle n'existe pas!!! C'est un motel..
- Rivera (6/5): Adequate place to stay. - It was affordable, the location was good, and the bioluminescent tour provided by Coco was very nice and inexpensive. The pool was very nice. The air conditioning was inconsistent. There was a big, gross hole in the ceiling. One of the two lights in the room didn’t work and the fuse panel was exposed and not in a secure fuse box. There was no hot water on site. The kitchen was dingy, underequipped, and honestly a little gross. The mattress was extremely uncomfortably for me.
- Jeanne (9/5): - La piscine et le personnel La chaleur
- Bringebøen (10/5): - Great value for money, clean and big room. Loved the red cat living here. Went night swimming to see the bioluminiscencia.
- Andrée (9/5): Deux nuits avec ma petite fille de 7 ans, endroit parfait. - Très près du centre de Paquera Calme et agréable Proprios supers aimables Très bel endroit J’y reviendrai c’est certain Piscine extérieure appréciée, extrêmement chaud ce magnifique pays!
- Kuehne (10/5): -
- Keily Esmeralda (10/5): -
- Daniela (8/5): - Ambiente muy bonito familiar, el lugar se encuentra en muy buen Estado. Falta tener más de mantenimiento en área de cocina ya que todos los utensilios guardados se encontraban sucios hasta con moho, pero aparte de eso se encuentra excelente
- Araya (3/5): - Malos olores por agua estancada de la piscina y la piscina se veía sucia. Habitaciones muy incómodas y muy calientes ; espacio muy reducido en la cocina. No sé dan implementos para el aseo personal.
- Naïa (10/5): Chambres fonctionnelles et confortables accueil chaleureux - L’Hostel est super bien situé, un peu en arrière du centre du village. On peut emprunter des vélo. Il y a la réserve de curu à quelques kilomètres et les propriétaires proposent des sorties pour voir la bioluminescence. Les chambres sont simple et fonctionnelle, c’est un endroit parfait où se poser. La piscine est magnifique, même les oiseaux et les iguanes aiment y traîner. Tout était super
- Heidy (9/5): -
- Daniel Mora Siles (10/5): Relación precio y calidad - Muy limpio y excelente ubicación, no hay aire acondicionado y el abanico hace mucho ruido. Pero tiene una piscina bonita y amplia y parqueo Falta aire acondicionado y hace mucho calor.
- Roppel (6/5): - Bekamen ein Zimmerupgrade. Die Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet. Die Zimmer sind alt und stinken etwas. Ohne Klima wird es sehr heiß in den Zimmern.
- Ido (6/5): - Pool area was nice Room walls are not isolated so it felt like a greenhouse, the pillows were rigid
- Sabrina (8/5): Das Hostel ist 6 KM von der Ferry entfernt. Es fährt unregelmäßig vom Pier ein Bus, der nur 300 Colones Kostet und direk - Ich habe alleine in einem Dormitorio geschlafen, welches sehr sauber war. Die Zimmertür war zum abschließen. Die Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet (Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle, Reiskocher, Küchenutensilien) und Essensreste werden separat entsorgt. Das Bad ist sauber. Das Hostal verfügt über einen recht großen Pool, der von wunderschöne Bourganvillas umgeben ist. Die Hängematten laden zum Verweilen ein. Es gibt einen kostenpflichtigen Laundry Service. Man kann für 10 Dollar Fahrräder mieten oder sich das Fahrrad für den Supermarkt Besuch kostenlos ausleihen. Allerdings sind beide Fahrräder meiner Meinung nach in einen fast unbrauchbaren Zustand. Der Wasserhahn im Badezimmer hat nicht funktioniert. Es gibt neben dem eigentlichen Hauptwasserbecken ein kinderwaschbecken (?), wo das Wasser fließt.
- Joes (8/5): -
- Villalobos Valverde (8/5): Buena - Ubicación Un gato en habitacion
- Erland Cotter (9/5): - Nice pool, nice staff, great location. The room was a bit too hot during the morning and day.
- deborah (1/5): Don’t stay here, and definitely don’t book trips with them. - Nothing. It has the potential to be amazing, and yet, it’s horrendous Where do I start?! Pool cloudy and disgusting, kitchen disgusting, bedroom like something out of a horror movie. Rude unhelpful staff. Cancelled our Tortuga island trip last second, stated sea was ‘too rough’ when it was the calmest sea day of the year, like a millpond. Really dishonest people and I would not stay there again. Our friends also stayed and got a lovely room, completely the opposite to ours. We ended up all sleeping in the one room together ours was that bad!
- Elisa (10/5): -
- Nick (10/5): - Der Pool ist mega schön und das Vogelgezwitscher dazu ein kleines Paradies... Nur zu empfehlen! In der Küche ist alles was man braucht zum kochen...
- Julia (10/5): - Eine familiär geführte Unterkunft mit schönem Pool. Coco liebt das, was er tut und dieses Feeling geht schnell auf seine Gäste über. Wir können sagen, dass wir gerne auf ein bisschen Comfort verzichtet haben, dafür aber unwahrscheinlich herzlich aufgenommen wurden und eine unvergessliche Zeit hatten.
- Joel (10/5): Great hostel + tour to see bioluminescence - Great deal to enjoy the town of Paquera. We absolutely loved the bioluminescence sunset tour and will never forget kayaking through the sparkly blue waters. The guys running the tour did a great job organizing everything and making sure everyone was taken care of. Nothing
- Rafael (8/5): Bien - El lugar está bien..es limpio y cerca del centro Nada en particular
- Petra (8/5): - Ein sehr schönes Hostel mit allem, was man braucht! Sehr nettes Personal, Beatrix hat uns sehr gut versorgt! Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!
- Rodolfo (7/5): - Ubicación y atención
- sitzia (8/5): -
- Laura (8/5): - La zona de la piscina.
- Patricia (9/5): - Der Pool und der Aufenthaltsbereich
- Bart (10/5): Legendary is all i have to say it was the best place i stayed and with the best people amazing time - Amazing rooms
- Esteban (9/5): -
- Federica Azul (5/5): Cómodo para usarlo solo para dormir - La pileta es súper linda, ideal para llegar de algún tour o pasar la tarde! La habitación es muuuuy calurosa, se hace como con bao de humedad adentro. Y nos resultó extraño que el placard esté dentro del baño. Y la ducha al no tener un tope nos pasó que se iba bastante el agua al resto del piso
- Martin (10/5): Absolut empfehlenswertes Hostel mit Tour - Der Pool ist perfekt um darin einen langen Tag ausklingen zu lassen. Die Zimmer sind sauber und mit Klimaanlage. Die Biolumineszenz-Tour war der Hammer. Unbeschreiblich schön.
- Deanna (8/5): - The pool area was nice. The smell in the bathroom. I kept the door shut and that helped.
- Anna Louise (6/5): - The swimming pool is the highlight Room was exposed to the street, area felt a bit sketchy at night.
- susanna (8/5): - The pool was great....and the staff were fabulous and helped organise wonderful trips The bed was a little uncomfortable for me.
- Fallas (10/5): -
- Marie-Pier (7/5): - L'emplacement est parfait! La chambre était propre! Pas d'eau chaude, l'eau de la piscine était brouille, la cuisine et ses équipements étaient très désuets
- Audejj (8/5): - La piscine, le proprietaire Coco super serviable et super excursion le soir et le lendemain aussi, quasi privée.
- Andrew (6/5): you get what you pay for and this is good value for the area - Basic accommodation but with aircon (in the room we booked, don't know about others), ideal for an overnight stop. Within walking distance of shops and restaurants.
- Hué (7/5): Bien pour le prix - L’espace extérieur est super autour de lla piscine De passage je ne suis restée que pour une seule nuit, dans la pièce d’eau la robinetterie du lavabo ne marchait pas
- Daniel (4/5): - El dueño da el mejor tour de luminiscencias. A pesar de mi cama muy mala me dieron un upgrade para una mejor habitacion. Aun asi falta mantencion en la ducha que sonaba y la cama de 2 plazas de resortes. Las camas incómodas. De muy mala calidad, puros resortes, ultra caluroso. La cocina deja mucho que desear.
- Yasmin (5/5): -
- Gina (10/5): -
- Tatiana (8/5): Très bon rapport qualité /prix. Superbe escursion de Coco - La piscine est grande et bien entretenu. Le personnel est très serviable. L’excursion de Coco le soir est superbe, vraiment à faire. La chambre est assez petite et asketique. Le WC coule un peu.
- Gabrielle (10/5): 2 nuits supers ! - Personnel au top ! Chambre et parties communes propres ! L’extérieur avec piscine était super !
- Becke (8/5): Ordentliches Hostel mit Pool - Tolle Sitzplätze am Pool Straßenlärm
- Lucrecia (9/5): - Excelente, ofrecen toalla y las habitaciones son muy cómodas, grandes dimensiones, impecables pisos y camas. El personal es muy amable y atento en todo lo que pueden ayudar. El tour de bioluminescence fue increíble! Sin dudas lo volvería a elegir.
- Alberto Jose (10/5): Lo mejor es el combo alojamiento + tour isla tortuga y bioluminiscencia con Coco’s Tour - Un alojamiento de habitaciones sencillas, con cómodas y bonitas instalaciones exteriores para pasar momentos agradables y conocer al rato de los huéspedes. Lo comentamos directamente con el propietario
- cristina (8/5): - Ottimo punto di partenza per l'esperienza della bioluminescenza, fatta direttamente col proprietario, molto ben organizzata, e per visitare in Parque Curù, raggiungibile anche in bici o bus.
- Alvarado (8/5): Bien - La piscina La habitación
- Lesley (2/5): Smelly and insanely hot room - Nothing other than the owner's welcome Everything. We didn't stay.
- Stephanie (5/5): - La piscine ... dommage elle n'était pas propre ... La chambre était pleine de moisissures .... l'odeur était horrible pas possible de nous trouver une autre chambre là dame nous a donner un spray pur neutraliser les odeur ... un matelas noir de crasse était aussi entreposer encore dans une des pièces de la chambre ! Des blattes ... gros problème d'hygiène...
- Amaia (10/5): - El trato del personal fue buenísimo, se nota que es un negocio familiar y le ponen mucho cariño. Además, el tour de isla tortuga + bioluminiscencia fue increible El wifi no llegaba muy bien a la habitación, pero sí al resto de zonas comunes
- Jose (10/5): -
- Erin (7/5): I would return - Coco and his family care and the pool area was great! - I loved the friendly staff, the beautiful pool area, the location, the A/C, the safety, the feeling of community with the other guests The bigger bed in our room was terribly uncomfortable. Springs poking me everywhere. I slept in one of the other beds the second night because the main bed disrupted my sleep so much. Otherwise everything was good.
- zazou (8/5): - Le personnel est très sympathique et arrangeante et toujours disponible. Tout est a proximité Sortie bateau pour bioluminescance super avec coco! Bruits extérieur on entends tout Eau froide dans la douche
- Nicolas (6/5): -
- Natalia (8/5): Amabilidad, barato - La amabilidad del personal, nos aconsejò sitios que visitar, donde comer. No sabia que no había agua caliente, en Booking no costaba
- Mónica (10/5): Excelente! - Todo, sobretodo la atención, me ayudaron en todo momento en lo que necesité, le dan mucha importancia a que el cliente esté a gusto y cómodo. El hotel está a unos 5 minutos andando del centro de Paquera. Sus zonas comunes son muy bonitas y el Tour de bioluminiscencia e Isla Tortuga con Coco es una maravilla. Mi estancia fue de 10!
- Luis Diego (10/5): -
- Vf (6/5): Tipo de cliente define la estancia - Lugar de bajo costo, por lo que sí se recibe el servicio acorde al precio, se observa proceso de mejora de instalaciones De una habitación a otra se pasa el ruido, el extranjero es muy consciente de eso, pero el tico definitivamente no coopera, no pudimos descansar
- Sonya (8/5): Really nice stay with great amenities in a nice area! - The pool was really nice! The rooms had good beds and AC. The parking was a bit tight and the bathroom didn’t have any hot water.
- Alain (10/5): C’est un endroit qu’il est difficile de quitter - L’accueil super. Conseils pour dîner, conseil pour une coiffeuse, pour le parc CURU. Madame COCO nous a gentiment commandé un taxi pour CURU. Ne pas rater la sortie bioluminescence en petit comité animée par le patron COCO qui est très sympathique avec beaucoup d’humour. La chambre avec Clim et TV impeccable La piscine avec son cadre verdoyant et les hamacs . Rien
- Vargas Piedra (10/5): -
- Côté (9/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): - coco y su esposa nos dieron una atencion 100/10 nos ofrecieron el tour de bioluminiscencia estuvo espectacular
- philippe (8/5): - Proche du parc La piscine Literie moyenne
- Josué González Gómez (10/5): - La atención del personal, el tour a la bioluminisencia, La habitación le falta una mesita adentro solamente
- Brian (5/5): - Lovely family business. Great evening boat tour. Just don't take the room next to the road. There's a typical Tico dog next door which barks all night.
- Dominique (9/5): schönes Hotel zum Entspannen - Sehr schöner Garten mit Pool. Hotel ist sauber und es gibt eine Küche. Zudem werden Touren angeboten. Personal zum Teil nicht auffindbar
- Operaciones - DETOUR (3/5): - Teniamos un grupo en un calor insoportable, y unos tenian aire acondicionado necesario y otros solo tenian abanicos, esto creo más inconformidad.
- Dominique (9/5): -
- Sophie (5/5): Good value for money, but basic. Only book a room with AC otherwise it’s very uncomfortable. - Good location, and Coco the owner is great and helpful. The bioluminescence tour was really fun, but not super informative. I recommend if you want a cheap and fun way to experience it, but not if you want to learn more about the science behind it. Only book the rooms with AC. The room without AC and only a fan is extremely damp and uncomfortable.
- Cristina (10/5): -
- Mauricio (10/5): Increíble!! - El trato amable del personal. Tanto Coco como su esposa he hijo súper especiales. Los Tour que ofrecen a buen precio y hermosos.
- Zita (10/5): -
- Francisca (8/5): - Muy amables y limpio
- Junior (10/5): Lindo lugar - Estuvo muy cómodo
- Anja (10/5): -
- Anja (10/5): - The owner of this property Coco is really nice and he organized a great private tour to Isla Tortuga for us. We went with captain Adrian and his wife Tatiana who are amazing people! They showed us all the nice sports around at the sea and we had a great freediving experience with Adrian (he is an experienced captain, diver and spearfisher). If you are staying here we recommend you book the tour with Coco - it was one of the best experience we had in Costa Rica. The tree outside of hostel is full of birds and other wildlife so it is fun to wake up early and observe the wildlife. Paquera is a great location in Costa Rica which is not too crowded with tourists so you can enjoy the place and meet really nice locals.
- David (1/5): No vayas - Nada Todo era muy viejo y estaba muy sucio, incluso con arañas por las había y cucarachas en el baño y la cocina
- Nathalie (8/5): - L’accueil de Coco et sa compagne. La piscine et la bioluminiscencia. Le bruit et la chaleur
