• Gary (10/5): The staff made a huge difference, awesome Folks - Location close to airport It wasn’t me that stayed but heard it was basic. What made it stand out is the fact that you have genuinely caring folks with a heart of gold.. Thanks so much for taking care of my Father Gary 🙏🙏🙏❤️
• Franca (10/5): -
• Éloïse (10/5): -
• Valerie (6/5): - Ce logement m'a bien dépanné à 1h du matin. C'était une chambre sur 3 dans une petite maison à partager. Il y a une cuisine équipée. Le wifi ne marchait pas. Donc très compliqué pour payer par PayPal ou commander un taxi pour aller à l'aéroport. Et surtout l'emplacement est difficile à trouver et c'est bruyant entre les chiens et les avions....
• Perez (10/5): - Todo Nada
• Mariana (8/5): Good just for one night! - Close to the airport That you need to share bathroom
• Dara (4/5): Muy decepcionada - Muy cerca del aeropuerto Todo iba más o menos bien , hasta que a media noche mientras dormíamos ingresaron a dos personas más en la misma casa donde estábamos hospedados como no íbamos a usar las dos habitaciones que dispone la casita , ellos sin avisarnos nada a media noche solo metieron a dos personas más ; de muy muy mal gusto ! A pesar de la amabilidad de la señora ; una situación así no se hace , a menos que se lo menciones antes a tus clientes y ellos sepan , no que te abran la puerta a media noche y solo entren y listo , pensábamos que había privacidad pero negativo ….
• Brent (8/5): Economical, worth it for those travelling on a budget - Nice and close to the airport. 10 minutes by taxi or Uber A little noisy, because of airport traffic and sometimes other guests

• Julius (5/5): - Gefährliche Gegend, wurde uns vom Taxifahrer erzählt. Am besten nicht im Dunkeln dort vor dem Tor ankommen und kurz warten und nicht reinkommen, wie wir. Ansich war sonst alles voll in Ordnung für einen kurzen Aufenthalt vor einem Flug.
• carlos horacio (10/5): Excelente 👏🏻 - La amabilidad de su personal y la calidad de sus servicios
• carlos horacio (10/5): Excelente 👍🏻 - La calidad de la atención, muy amables , pendiente de que la estadía fuera lo mejor posible, etc

• Stokes (10/5): We needed a landing spot for a short time before our flight out of San Jose and this was the perfect place. Hosts were v - Super convenient close to the airport and very helpful hosts
• Cynthia (7/5): Good - Very convenient, nice staff Loud airport noise
• James (9/5): Superb -
• Heli (9/5): Nice -
• Alvaro (8/5): Comfortable and convenient stay - Price-quality ratio N/A
• Anthony (10/5): Perfect basic place near airport. - Excellent service, secure, close to airport. Tricky to find, but they answered vía WhatsApp and clued me in. They need a sign on the road.
• Osvaldo (10/5): Exceptional - Marilina More time with my companion
• Oleksandr (7/5): Good -
• Monika (8/5): A nice stay near the airport - Cleaniness and the owners hospitality.
• Anthony (3/5): A unique experience - The arrival was strange, I was greeted by permanent residents, shirtless, blasting music and staring at me. The owner wasn’t there, one of the resident was in charge of giving me the access but didnt know much about which room I had and were was the key. In fact after calling the owner, there was no key. You have a private room in a small rental house mixed up with people living there permanently. No way to lock your door and your window, so you basically have to trust that nothing will happen when you leave. The fridge was full so I could barely put any groceries. The bathroom had a « suicidal shower » with cables hanging directly above it. Not super safe. At night your hear the neighbors until late, dogs barking , traffic etc so sleeping was a bit difficult. The good thing is that it was quite affordable!
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (9/5): Superb - Place was easy to find and very clean. All the amenities were described and the place was just as pictured. It was very close to the airport runway and I could hear the airplanes take off/land so this might not be the best option if you're a light sleeper.
• Johnson (1/5): Bad - Location is terrible. It would have been easier to stay in San Jose and ride to the airport from there. They only accept cash, which should have been expressed before check-in. Wifi was down.
• Barry (8/5): Good for the money - Very noisy refrigerator, many dogs barking on the premises, loud planes 3 to 4 times an hour
• Margaret (8/5): Very good -
• Pepaporo (4/5): Not at good place to stay. - Not much…. Bottled water was provided. The location is not good. It doesn’t look safe at night and even Uber drivers looked surprised. The bed was uncomfortably hard. No dark curtains in the room then it’s hard to sleep after sunrise. There is no air conditioning… only a fan. The location looks close to the airport but indeed it’s on the back of it and you have to go all around it to the main entrance. Traffic is an issue in the morning. The only options to pay is PayPal or Cash.
• William (10/5): Close to the airport. Perfect for a long day of traveling - Helpful staff
• Kirill (1/5): Bad -

• Zuvela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yariela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joanne (8/5): Good little spot right near the airport - Great little stop right near the airport. Car was nice and safe parked right outside the flat. Make sure you take cash- no card machine.
• Celine (7/5): Good -
• Jb (8/5): Very good - It was close to the airport. For this reason this place responded to our expectations. We didn't come for something else.
• Surbhi (1/5): Poor - Proximity to airport. But i was told that i need to order uber 20mins early. The appliances were either not working or dirty. Airfryer was dirty and had insects in it. Coffee maker was dirty. Microwave was not working. Was charged extra too. According to booking payment was 31.50 usd but i was asked to pay 39 usd. When i told them that it is wrong, the property person asked me to cancel the booking and leave. As it was late at night, i decided to pay extra and stay. Wouldn’t recommend.
• Gaby (10/5): Exceptional -
• Molina (7/5): Good -
• Ju (7/5): Good -
• María (7/5): Good - Very practical for one night close to the airport. The staff was very kind and supportive.
• Christie (9/5): The property works for all kinds of budgets and stays. You can rent a house or a room. Not much around so plan ahead wit - It’s a cute little village with lots of options. It’s not easy to find. They send pics but when the gate is open is doesn’t look the same. Follow the hotel icon on google.
• Daniel (9/5): Superb -
• Willow (8/5): Very good -
• Jeannette (7/5): Good -
• Kobi (4/5): Only worth it if you have a really early flight at SJO and need a cheap bed for a night - The host was great and so friendly, and the truth is it is less than 10 minutes from the airport. it felt safe the wifi was spotty at best and mostly didn't work, there was nothing around the property to see, do, eat, explore etc. the sinks were a bit leaky and there was no soap. While the place was cheap, it would be worth it to pay a little more and stay in a better location
• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephanny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ben (9/5): Perfect ending to a vacation adventure. - It was a little difficult to find, but once I arrived met a newlywed couple going home, also. The bus ride was freezing, but there was hot coffee. Beds are comfy. Everyone was quiet. Staff was charming. I missed my bus, so I had to take a later one. It was dark and raining which made it difficult to find.
• Adrian (10/5): Exceptional - Great hospitality Nothing
• Júlia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Theresa (8/5): As Close To The Airport As You Can Get - Price Communication Willingness to let me come early Ants on the bed
• Esterhuizen (7/5): Good -
• Catherine (5/5): Passable -
• Anita (7/5): Good - Close to airport, comfy bed, facilities were good enough for what we needed for one night. Friendly staff and we were lucky enough to basically have the place to ourselves. Was tricky to find but once we messaged for help we were fine.
• Oesterle (8/5): Good value, worked well for our family. - Our flight was delayed several hours and the host waited up for us, which was very kind. We didn't arrive till 2:00 am! The home is very basic and simple but adequate. I liked that it had a locked gate to the community - it felt safe. There is a carport so it is easy to get your luggage inside - your car is right next to the front door. A little difficult to find. It's close mileage-wise to the airport but requires a weird route (the design of the freeways around the airport is bonkers) so it was a few minutes longer than expected. No air conditioning (but several fans).
• Christopher (8/5): Very good -
• Mohin (1/5): Bad -
• Aminata (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sonabend (7/5): Good -
• Declan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Porterfield (10/5): I would come back again and again - The owners made me feel so at home and comfortable .highly recommend Nothing
• James (8/5): Great for short-term stay close to airport. - The location was very convenient to the airport, at an unbeatable price. The staff/owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Check-in was very easy. Bathroom needed a bit of work.
• Carl-etienne (8/5): Good, but... - All good, except the toilet didn't flush.
• Marcio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Briana (10/5): Exceptional - The bed was comfortable, everything was clean. The host was amazing and waited up for me until til 1:30am because my flight was delayed and had car rental drama. She was a literal saint.
• Harding (8/5): Very good -
• Livia (8/5): Very good - It was located very closely to the airport and therefore perfect for a night before or after a flight. It‘s a very good value for the price. There were a lot of ants in my room which kept flying in my bed..
• Silvana (7/5): Good -
• Tyler (10/5): Very welcoming, easy process! Perfect before an early flight the next day -
• Rachel (9/5): Superb - Great location close to the airport. Super clean. Comfortable bed, linens, and pillows. Good size room. Shared bathroom has hand soap and shower gel. WiFi works perfectly. Huge kitchen to cook in that is stocked with pots, pans, kettle, oven, stove, fridge, dishes, cutlery, drinkware, spices, oil, coffee, and tea. Nice to have a fan in the room. Tepid shower water.
• Alicia (10/5): Good short stay accomodation - Check in was super flexible and host kept in contact with us while we arrived at the airport. Great location 5 minute uber away from airport if you want a few hours sleep before or after travels. Room and shared bathroom were clean and well equipped. Nothing, would recommend.
• Thomasi36 (8/5): For one night in order to stay close to the airport it is ok. You need a car to the airport. - Uncomplicated arrival, owner received me during the night. I had to pay a price where they put additional taxes on it, which wasnt shown in booking.com.
• Thayron (7/5): Good but it could be better - Location , very comfy. Price did not match with booking and check out time is to early there is not even 22 h
• Youri (7/5): Good -
• Kelsey (8/5): Very good - Finding the location and check-in was confusing since no one was there at the time and we didn't have texting or calling capabilities.
• Annabella (8/5): Very good -
• Nor (7/5): First time and last time. - It’s close to the airport and reasonably priced and it was clean. It’s not in a good area at all, the Uber driver warmed me not to go out at night. There was only one coffee cup and no fridge. It’s super close to the airport so you hear all the planes, having said that you can’t walk to the airport, too far and dangerous.
• Paola (8/5): Very good -
• David (2/5): Not nice and tried to rip me off - Close to the airport , nothing else good to say The guy tried to charge me ‘commission’ on top of the total price . We ended up in an argument. He says no one else minded paying it . Don’t pay this commission, it’s the commission he is supposed to pay to booking , not a commission he should be passing on to guests . the guy wants it to pay for his weed habit, was meet by him smoking a joint at the front door. The room was very basic , terrible pillows , the ceiling fan didn’t work , only a very loud wall mounted fan. The cistern in the toilet was very loud , I had to turn it off at the tap underneath . All in all one of my worst stays .
• Sirli (10/5): Safe, clean and comfortable share house with 3 separate private rooms close to the CR int. airport. - Lovely shared housing style accommodation near the San Jose Juan Santamaria International Airport (4km to be exact). You can grab an Uber for yourself for $4-6US. Cost me under $4 to get there and under $6US to leave from and back to the airport. So it's a perfect place to stay if you fly or drive in to San Jose from anywhere around beautiful Costa Rica to continue with your travel out from the country. I suggest to book your stay in here. It is family orientated and operated business where they offer you to book yourself in to a private room in a 3-bedroom share house. Which I only found out during my check in. I found it to be one very nice surprise though so I was of course pleased. House has a little kitchen and lounge area in the same room. Bathroom to share with other guests. With the shower, sink and toilet - all in one. And 3 separate private rooms. Very clean and gated area. Felt very safe, private and comfortable for me. And AS A BONUS in this beautiful land of Costa Rica you will actually get a working wifi connection. BOOM! I mean ... You can't beat that anywhere in here. Also the owners are very very lovely, friendly and will be right near by to help you with any questions you may have. I most definitely recommend this place and I hope to return myself in the beginning of the new year again :) I liked everything :)
• Zacharie (2/5): Hosts were very friendly. Good place if you’ve got a very low budget or very low standards. - Located in a neighborhood near the airport. “Staff” was friendly. Not much privacy as you’re basically sharing a house with other roomates. We saw at least 3 or 4 cockroaches and the facilities were in a very poor state - the toilet seat was held on by zip-ties.
• Krzysztof (5/5): Passable -
• Iryna (8/5): Very good -
