Guest Reviews
- Nikos (10/5): excellent stay and walking distance from ocotal beach - super friendly and accomodating staff, great relaxing ambiente
- Jabaran Escalante (10/5): - La cercanía a las playas, la atención y la relación calidad-precio. Que tenía un poco de polvo en algunos lugares y decía que incluía jabones, etc, y uno supone que incluye shampoo, pero solo incluía gel de ducha, sería positiva la aclaración.
- Marco (10/5): -
- Marianela (9/5): - La ubicación es excelente. Tiene la faciludad de la cocina compartida.
- Natalia (9/5): I had a great stay here! The location was great, staff was kind and the pool was nice. The only problem was the dogs acr - The location was great. Accommodation was great. The room was nice. The dogs across the street barking for literally 7 hours straight was awful The soap didnt really work so that was inconvenient to findout last minute, and you needed to pay for water which was odd.
- JonnathanSa (8/5): - El lugar muy limpio y el personal muy amable Un poco incomodo al compartir con otros la cosina y la habitacion no tenia tv o sea a ver pal techo jaja
- Palacios (8/5): - Área de piscina y cocina. No tenía televisión ni refrigerador en la habitación.

- Tammy (8/5): Very nice place and very friendly staff. - Good. Typical Costa Rican breakfast. Walk to the beach was a little longer and difficult than we had anticipated based on the description of the property. We ended up having to drive to the beach instead of walking. We were supposed to have a room with a garden view, however, it appeared that they were re-doing the roof so the room faced a staging area for ladders and roof tiles.
- Guerrero Salaa (9/5): -
- Peter (9/5): We changed our itinerary to stay at Siwõ on our way back to Liberia. - We were super happy with the guesthouse- The location was perfect, beach was glorious, kitchen was decent, pool was perfect as well..
Pesky animals were very patient and only stole scraps. The restaurant nearby is fine, but very tourist oriented.. The local Supers have loads of great groceries, so not an issue for us..
- Ryan (6/5): Modest small and affordable hotel with slightly outdated rooms - The common areas are inviting and the location is quiet in Ocotal. The pool is small and quaint with potential for a poolside bar but often not attended. Relative to most other stays nearby this place is affordable. The decor in the room seems pretty tired and the trim a bit worse for wear. The bed was a bit thin. Not the worst place by any means but the rooms in particular could be improved. Can't complain too much relative to the price.
- Marilis (10/5): - Todo Todo me gustó
- Marilis (10/5): - La playa Todo me gustó
- Agustin (7/5): Muy buena relación precio calidas - Muy buen desayuno y personal. La ubicación es muy buena y el lugar es muy lindo. Falta mejorar un poco la limpieza

- Ivetth (9/5): - Me gusto mucho la ubicación, la habitación muy limpia ,cerca de las playas , la chica que nos atendió es muy amable. Que no tuviera televisor.
- Sergio (7/5): -
- Daniela (8/5): - Me gustó la atención del personal y la limpieza del lugar, muy amables buscando mejorar nuestra experiencia Se nota que las áreas comunes están en mantenimiento
- Olivier (9/5): -
- Raul (10/5): -
- Thea (8/5): - Kind people that just started this guesthouse in May 2025. They are upgrading it bit by bit so maybe it looks different next month then it did last week but it was a nice comfortable stay near the beach.
- Paola (10/5): -
- Omar Vinicio (6/5): - Desayuno muy bueno, la persona que nos recibió muy bien. La habitación no tiene TV, No teníamos jabón corporal, que es lo normal como mínimo tener, el tema de paqueo es expuesto y eso me puso intranquilo.
el lugar esta bien, pero, las fotos me dieron una expectativa mas alta de lo que me dieron.
- Gavilanes (9/5): At night in the room itself, close suitcases and check shoes in the morning before putting them on. - Nice, quite amd the localization very closed to the beach! There were no hangers on which to hang clothes
- Anonymous (2/5): no - the pool was too filthy to get in and thr caretaker was so indifferent like she would rather not be bothered by guests at all It really doesn't have much to offer go somewhere else
- Dave (8/5): Quiet. Good value. Close to my ministry commitment - What we expected.
- Marguerite (10/5): Best stay in Costa Rica! - Beautiful place and surroundings, it exceeded our expectations in every way.
- Dmitrii (5/5): I think the price is a bit high. - The staff is great, the breakfast is good. The hotel needs renovation.
- Lawrence (9/5): Superb -
- Molina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carly (9/5): Great atmosphere, cool art. The staff was awesome and accommodated our need for a late check in. -
- Kirk (8/5): Very good - I had read some poor reviews but I really liked this place! It had a lot of character. It had a garden area with seating, hammocks etc., It had a very nice tiled pool, it had a large veranda. It had a lot of what you might call "old world charm". The breakfast was good: buffet style to start, then hot scrambled egg with or without beans served to you. There was some interesting paintings adorning the hallways. It was about an eight minute walk to the Ocotal beach.
- Natalia (10/5): Amazing! - The staff was super friendly, the pool was a plus and the bedroom was veeery spacious. The distance to Ocotal beach was very close. Overall for the zone, the price was very budget friendly too, please don't change it!
- Warren (9/5): Bohemic close to the beach place - The atmosphere in the place and location. The A/C was a bit old and noisy. Also, our window looks straight to the parking lot. Perhaps, they can put some sandblasting sticker on the window.
- Garrett (8/5): Good location and a solid place to stay if you’re on a budget. - Clean, good working AC, and a comfortable private tub big enough for 2. No hand soap in bathroom to wash your hands. Plumbing on tub was falling apart.
- Marion (6/5): If you seek solitude & isolation, this could be for you. - Nice gardens, nice staff, nice breakfast. There’s a quiet local beach close by. Reasonably priced. The property is really tired & lacking room facilities. I got an electric shock from my side light. There’s nowhere to hang clothes & they provide 1 sheet for the bed. (You are expected to sleep on the mattress protector).
You need a car as there’s only one local restaurant & nothing else. A cab is $10 one way to town- Coco (3.5kn).
- Karina (3/5): Poor - Location and the lady serving a breakfast - very nice and sweet. The hotel is next to the very nice beach Playa Pez Vela with black sand and not far away from Coco Beach. We have stayed on the ground floor room with the name Makrame. I would highly recommend to avoid an accommodation in this room.
There is no possibility to open window in the room, the room was stinky, windows were extremely dirty with the view to the inner wall.
The bathroom and room were dirty.
In general, the hotel has a scent of being abandoned and forgotten by the owner.
If you visit a common WC on the ground floor, you will discover that there is no soap and paper for your hands.
The breakfast was very poor.
We were happy to leave this hotel after 2 days. It was our worst experience with accommodation in Costa Rica, taking into account that it was not the cheapest.
- Emmaoficial (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ronald (10/5): Perfect to get away from crowds - The place was really nice away from the crowds and with in walking distance to the beach Uber and taxi are not close by and there's only one restaurant close by. You definitely need your own vehicle in this area
- Helena (9/5): A good choice for a few days - The place is as advertised, the pool is delightful when there are no guests. The room is small but functional. Breakfast is served on the patio outside which is a nice place to sit. We were lucky as there was not many people. With a full house, it could feel crowded and noisy. The bed was comfy and the shower had hot water. It is a walk to the beach but doable, better come with a car. Dogs barking, but unfortunately, this is the 'new normal' worldwide. Shame as we cannot find a quiet place anymore.
- Nohelia (9/5): Great relax for a good price - The property is real close to the beach, also the pool is comfortable and everything is always clean, the breakfast is awesome! a/c was noisy
