Guest Reviews
- Kerstin (8/5): - Die Unterkunft war sauber, es gab eine gut ausgestattete Küche und auch einige Sodas sind fußläufig erreichbar. Wir hatten eine Klimaanlage, die wir echt häufig genutzt haben. Das Mädel an der Rezeption war sehr hilfsbereit und der Wäscheservice hat gut funktioniert. Die Unterkunft ist gar nicht ausgeschildert. Es war recht schwer sie so zu finden. Das lässt sich für die Zukunft aber bestimmt schnell beheben
- Georgina (8/5): Comfortable stay, would recommend. - Clean room, friendly staff who recommended local things to do, and it was helpful to be able to book activities with them. The room was very small with little room around the sides of the bed - there was barely room to open our suitcases on the floor.
- Julio (9/5): - Buen precio y comodo ubicacion
- Daria (10/5): - Very clean, great location near the city center - 5 minutes away on foot. Hosts are friendly and my overall experience was good.
- karina valenzuela (10/5): - El lugar esta muy bien ubicado, todo esta muy cerca ademas que los anfritiones son super amables te hacen sentir como en casa lo super recomiendo

- Kavita (8/5): Friendly and helpful staff. Clean/tidy room and shared spaces. Some noise from nearby construction - Staff were friendly and helpful. They helped us with our luggage when we arrived and after i got food/water poisoning (from a local restaurant) the staff helped with getting to a pharmacy. Also helpful in giving us guidance on transport and how to get to another town.
We had an en-suite room (private bathroom) on a first floor with shared kitchen/lounge. Overall the other guests kept the space clean and cleaners came during the day. Each room has labelled baskets /trays in the fridge and cupboards (so you can leave your food items in these without confusion on what belongs to which guest).
There is a communal reception area with coffee/teas/water.
There is a minimarket 2 min walk from the hostel.
All things considered good value for money. Location - there was a fair bit of construction going on in the area when we stayed there which started early in the morning and was loud. It is also a little bit of a walk to the main square (with shops, restaurants and bars).
Room was tight on space (although the upside of this was that it had a very big bed).
Room was on a first floor with no lift (though the staff helped us with our luggage on arrival).
Room (en-suite) had very high ceilings with windows at the top so you got some natural light but no views.
- Jos (8/5): -
- Schedewy (10/5): -
- Rachael (10/5): id recommend - - provided all necessities (from a range of pans, to all appliances to umbrellas)
- super helpful with any questions/issues
- property was always clean
- Raphaele (9/5): Beautifully decorated, great value for money and friendly staff! - Casa Macaw was an amazing stay for a solo traveler! I loved the proximity to town, the friendly staff and the common area kitchen and living room. Having a deck to chill out after a day out was a plus. It had a typical costa rican sock-coffee machine which I truly appreciated, and the space was clean and cozy. The bed was comfy and the air conditioning was perfect. I liked the closet space to organize my things. Really great value for money! The kitchen utensils were a little basic. With creativity I was able to cook but it was missing maybe extra plates and bowls, cutting boards and good knives. Tupperwares to borrow would be a nice touch. The location was on a side-street and across from a garage which was kind of noisy during the day. Made it hard to relax on the balcony while they were sawing and banging.

- YUAN (10/5): - 在市中心,去哪里都方便。有公用厨房,氛围很好。员工很热情,帮忙定了shuttle bus,还预先帮我付了款,非常感谢。设施也很干净 厕所的通风和灯能分开就好了,通风太吵,但是必须得开灯
- Lavika (10/5): - I had the most wonderful experience here. I’m so sorry I forgot the host’s name, but she was incredibly kind and helpful. She patiently answered all my questions, helped me plan my entire itinerary, and booked everything right away. The place itself was very clean and perfectly located in downtown—everything was within walking distance. I absolutely loved my stay and would recommend this to anyone. The host truly made all the difference for me!
- Romanos Alexios (10/5): -
- 恵理子(ERIKO) (10/5): 全て計画通りツアーに参加できて満足です - とても清潔で新しい。
スタッフが、親切で朗らかで感じがいい。
中心地から近くて便利。
ツアーこ予約を確実にしてくれる。 エアコンの音が,ちょっとうるさい。
- Vanessa (9/5): - Top Lage, sehr freundliches Personal Zimmer etwas klein
- Rene (9/5): - Service receptie Nvt
- Maati (7/5): Great place! - Location was nice, staff and front desk was very helpful. She booked us our shuttles to travel to other towns. The white cat was cute and nice to have following us around. Kitchen has most things to make a meal and rooms were clean. The closet with hangers was helpful to air-dry and hang clothes. They also have laundry service, which is always nice. Bathroom was a good size and very clean. You need to go up the stairs, so if you have mobility issues this may be challenging. The pillows could be better. Overall good stay.
- Marc (9/5): - La organización de las zonas comunes. La disponibilidad de utensilios de cocina.
La limpieza, la decoración y las instalaciones en general, que eran bastante nuevas y bien cuidadas. Nos cobraron algo más de lo que indicaba la reserva de Booking. Aparentemente, por comisiones por pago en targeta o cambio de moneda, aunque no se nos comunicó en ningún momento.
Faltaría una tostadora
- Jeremy (10/5): Comfortable and centrally located. - Fabiola was outstanding, helpful, professional, and very personable.
- Sue (8/5): Good value - Very quiet location but easy walk into centre. Kitchen and balcony were great for making breakfast and relaxing. Staff at hotel Alicia were very helpful for our travel plans and advised about things to do and bus times. The room has no windows so it feels a bit enclosed tho it does have air con.
- Jackie (10/5): Extremely helpful staff!!! - Staff were extremely helpful setting up excursions and transfers for us at prices better than we can get anywhere else.
Kitchen was well stocked and clean.
Room small but lovely.
Place felt secure. All good.
With the rain I would have happily paid to use their dryer but that wasn't an option.
- Boris (8/5): - Tolle Lage im Zentrum von La Fortuna.
Tolles Zimmer, alles was man braucht. Eigene Küche zur Verfügung und günstiges Frühstück. Sehr gut
- sylvia (9/5): - The cleanliness, breakfast and brand new building and access to a kitchen No windows in the room
- Eva (8/5): - Sängen var väldigt skön, samt duschen fräsch. Rummet var alldeles för litet för två personer, var inte jättelätt att ha resväskan någonstans, men funkade i några dagar.
- Gerasimos (8/5): cheap stay near the center, clean, nice balcony - it's a nice "casa"/house near the center of Fortuna (5 min walk). You share the kitchen, living room, balcony with 4 more rooms (5 in total) and then your room is separate with its bathroom. The house is really clean and i was allowed to check-in a bit earlier than usual thanks to the lovely ladies taking care of the cleaning. Staff at the reception is also polite (note that they also run the hotel alicia next door and offer breakfast for 7$). good basis to explore the city and being picked up for tours etc.
it was also quite cheap compared to others in the area. nothing too much but ofc you share a house with other people, so a lot depend on how good the neighbors are. in that sense, there might be some noise. rooms have no windows but you can hangout at the balcony.
- Steffen D. (10/5): sehr empfehlenswert - Sehr geräumiges, sehr schönes Zimmer in einem modernen Gebäude. Lage war ok, fußläufig ins Zentrum. Frühstück war einfach, aber ok. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Frühstück könnte etwas üppiger ausfallen.
- Caudet (9/5): Perfecto. Repetiria. - Muy buena ubicación. A 3 minutos caminando del centro. Muy limpio y comodo. Camas grandes. Muy tranquilo. El agua de la dutxa no salia muy caliente.
- Taranenko (10/5): - Nice Rezeption and food
- Jeremy (10/5): -
- Berenice (7/5): Clean, nice and well located - Bien située
Confortable
Propre Water not hot enough after a long day outside in the rain
- Marie-Eve (10/5): Propre, calme et près de tout! - La propreté
- Bob (9/5): - Vriendelijk personeel. Fijne, schone kamer met airconditioning. Goede ligging. Iets (wasmachine? Airconditioning van andere kamers) zorgde urenlang voor een dreunend geluid, maar dit stopte snachts gelukkig.
- Joanna (10/5): -
- Franziska (10/5): -
- Stacey (5/5): It was ok for the price - Centrally located with lots of restaurants and shops around. Shared kitchen, no tv and toilet paper ran out in the middle of the night.
- Ahlström (10/5): Muy satisfecha - Todo súper 😊🌻
- Estrella (10/5): Muy buena ubicación e instalaciones - La habitación es amplia como el baño, la cocina bien organizada, y espaciosa.
El personal muy amable y dispuesto siempre a ayudar. Gracias
- Till (10/5): Sauberes Zimmer mit toller Gemeinschaftsküche - Tolle saubere Zimmer, schöne Gemeinschaftsküche mit toller Ausstattung. Sehr nettes Personal und bietet viele Möglichkeiten für Touren.
- Sonia (10/5): -
- Jamie (8/5): Bed was too big for room and shower didn’t get hot enough - The breakfast was fabulous and had the best pancakes The shower sucked
- Simon M. Müller (9/5): Sehr zu empfehlen, sauber, ruhige Unterkunft. freundliches und hilfreiches Personal - Sehr angenehmes Zimmer, heim und einer überhöhten Raumhöhe. Bequemes Bett, sauberes Bad, genügend Möglichkeiten Kleider aufzuhängen.
Gemeinsames Küchennutzung und Kühlschrank (beides sehr sauber). Sehr zu empfehlen!
Wir haben 2 Nächte angehängt im dazugehörigen Hotel Alicia, das auch wärmstens empfohlen werden kann. Auch sehr sauber, gleiches Personal, tip-top.
Ein großes Plus ist der Standort. Ruhig in einer Seitenstraße gelegen und sehr zentrumsnah. -
- Erica (8/5): Très bien! Sauf les chiens qui jappent sans cesse - Je n’y ai passé qu’une seule nuit mais c’était très confortable, j’ai apprécié l’air climatisé et la douche avec l’eau chaude. Tout était propre. Légèrement en retrait de la rue principale donc pas de bruit de voiture ou de gens, mais très proche quand même pour facilement pouvoir se promener à pied. Le bruit des chiens qui ne cessent jamais!! Je n’ai jamais entendu des chiens japper autant et sans cesse. J’avais prévu le coup et j’avais des bouchons pour dormir donc ça ne m’a pas empêché de dormir mais si on veut se détendre lire ou relaxer c’est impossible. Et si on n’a pas de bouchons je pense qu’on n’arrive pas à dormir. Seul point négatif, c’est dommage parce que sinon le reste est super.
- LIQI (8/5): - 很高的性价比!安静,简单的房间,前台服务很不错,推荐!
- Emma (9/5): -
- Fernanda (10/5): -
- Kartik (9/5): Fantastic accommodation! - This is an amazing place to stay in La Fortuna. It is in a great location, close to everything in this cute town. The room and attached bathroom were spacious, clean and modern. The staff were very nice and helpful. Nothing bad to say at all. Maybe the shower could use a door so that less water splashes out.
- Castro (10/5): - Very clean and well located
- Anna-Lena (10/5): -
- Martha Lorenza (10/5): - La atención
- Marie-Anaelle (10/5): - Tout était parfait : chambre impeccable et grand lit.
Cuisine niquel et terrasse tres agréable !
Ménage fait tous les jours.
Très bien situé ( 5 min de l'arrêt de bus) .
- Zane (10/5): Great stay in La Fortuna - Everything was really great. Big modern clean rooms. Nice communal area. Very friendly and helpful staff. It would have been nice to have a TV but that is a minor thing.
- Tiina (10/5): :) - The staff were super friendly and helpful, there are many services available (transfers, tours..) from the reception. The property was easy to find, and it's a short walk from the main street. There was a friendly cat, and a balcony with nice view over the neighbourhood - even saw macaws flying past a couple of times in the morning. Everything was clean and looked new. n/a
- Paul (9/5): - Stayed here for 5 nights as a solo traveler. It’s clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful and it’s a 5 minute walk from the center of town. Look no further!
- Sophie (10/5): Excellent price-performance ratio… - Rooms are clean, warm water, cozy bedding, well equipped kitchen, nice balcony.
Location is perfect: quiet out of the city hustle and just short walk into it. Nothing
- Carleo (10/5): -
- Alla (10/5): Would definitely recommend this hotel! - Perfect location, great communication and support, when needed. Very nice and clean room! Air conditioning, hairdryer and even towels to remove make up. Perfect kitchen to cook breakfast/ dinner and they also have a nice balcony to sit at. -
- Monica (10/5): - Les habitacions i els lavabos són amplis, amb una gran dutxa. L’espai compartit (cuina, menjador, terrassa) també estaven molt bé. Cada dia feien les habitacions i estava tot super net i llançols amb molt bona olor. Realment em sentia com a casa. Gràcies per tot!!
- Guisela (10/5): Muy recomendado 😀 - Limpio, cómodo , cambio de toallas diarias , espacios comunes cómodos y con todo lo necesario . Sugeriría poner una televisión en la sala común o en los dormitorios
- Djior (10/5): Super séjour - J’ai passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel ! Tout était d’une propreté irréprochable, les chambres comme les espaces communs. Le personnel était vraiment super gentil, toujours souriant, disponible et à l’écoute de la moindre demande. Franchement, rien à dire, tout était parfait du début à la fin. Je recommande cet établissement les yeux fermés ! Rien, tout était + que positif !
- Agnieszka Szatko (9/5): -
- Cyrielle (10/5): Le staff de l’hôtel m’a aidé à réserver une place pour un canyoning et il y a un service de bagagerie très sur ! Le staf - C’est très beau et tout est neuf et très propre !
- Nofar (9/5): -
- Bruno (9/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): Lugar limpio y Bonito. - Un lugar muy bien ubicado y súper limpio "Bonito". ...
- Paula (10/5): - Excelente atención de las chicas de recepción, me asesoraron y reservaron todas las excursiones y traslados! El lugar impecable, todo nuevo. La cocina y estar son súper cómodos, equipados y amplios.
- Sara (10/5): - Perfectly equipped room and kitchen, clean, good location and very comfortable overall
- Valeria (9/5): -
- Nico (9/5): Sehr gut ! - Die Lage war super.
- Rachel (9/5): Lovely, comfortable hotel in excellent location - The location was perfect as it was very close to the main part of La Fortuna, but just off to the side in a quieter neighbourhood. There was a shop nearby and the hotel was easy to locate. The key and door system was very user friendly and I felt very secure whilst also knowing I could come and go at any time without any problems. The room was very comfortable and the kitchen area and balcony were super nice. The wifi was also good. Contact from the hotel before my arrival was also good. I loved that I could buy my own food and use the lovely kitchen area as this helped me to save money. THe price paid at the hotel was higher than quoted by booking.com, although the hotel put this down to taxes, but it added an extra twenty dollars. Prior to arriving I was assured that the hotel would assist me with the booking of tours once I arrived, but on arrival the receptionist just told me how to book online tickets for the different attractions and advised me to use Uber, whereas I was looking for an actual tour so had to go elsewhere. Which was fine but I felt the information given before my arrival was misleading.
- Karen (9/5): Buena ubicación - Limpio, cómodo , cerca del centro , buen internet, cocina compartida Hay muchos portones con cerradura para llegar a la habitación , podría ser peligroso en caso de una emergencia como un incendio o un temblor
- Jessica (9/5): Good location, Clean room & Great breakfast - Our stay at Casa Macaw was great. It was a shared apartment with 5 individual guest rooms. There was a common area for kitchen, living room and balcony. The room included a bathroom and it was smaller than expected. The complex was securely gated for residents and was walking distance to restaurants and convenience stores. Room was clean and staff were nice, helpful and responsive to our messages. Breakfast was available for purchase for $7 and it was a good portion size. We recommend trying out the pancakes, it was delicious! Thank you for the wonderful stay!
- Dravin (9/5): - De locatie is perfect, net uit de drukte van downtown La fortuna en dus met een paar minuten in de drukte. ( restaurants, souvenirwinkels en touroperators) Kamers enorm schoon, niet al te groot maar meer dan voldoende voor ons. Gezamenlijke keuken, woongedeelte en balkon. Tijdens ons verblijf (juli 2025) was er niemand en konden we hier helemaal alleen gebruik van maken. Hotel Alicia zit er direct naast en serveert ontbijt tegen een kleine vergoeding. Ik zou deze ruimte zeker aanbevelen voor een trip in La Fortuna.
- Megan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susana (9/5): Great stay; good value. Would stay again - The facility is modern, clean and well kept. A/C works well - which is necessary in La Fortuna. Location is good. Common areas - kitchen, living room did not have A/C.
- Mateus (9/5): Superb -
- Erickson (10/5): Cute rental near town - Casa Macaw was very nice, cute common area, nice outdoor patio. It was a good location to downtown La Fortuna and walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. Staff was very helpful to come meet us after we got delayed traveling
- Navedia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Navedia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Meredith (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice place to stay. It’s just 5 guest rooms in the building so very quiet. The beds were possibly the most comfortable I’ve had in Costa Rica! Everything appeared new and in great shape. Fabiola at the front desk was very helpful in providing good suggestions on where to eat and what to do in La Fortuna. Thanks!
- Bethan (10/5): The best or I forgot you can see the volcano from the balcony - The property was new and spotless. I loved the sharing kitchen and balcony. The location was 5 minute walk from middle of everything. There is a supermarket 2 minutes away. The breakfast was made fresh and delicious. The girl at reception booked all my excursions without hesitation. I would definitely recommend this property. I felt really safe as a solo traveller. I will be back . Nothing
- Arthith (6/5): Barely slept, but clean rooms - Clean room. Spacious. So loud. Dogs barking all night & morning. You hear other guests. Clairaudient.
- Sam (6/5): Pleasant -
- Wassa (9/5): Basic yet comfortable and very clean -
- William (9/5): Great location, comfortable beds, part of boutique hotel - Very Clean, nice kitchen, 5 min walk to La Fortuna square, 10 min drive to Fortuna Waterfall. This is next to a small boutique hotel so staff on site and breakfast is only $7. Neighborhood can be noisy. A/C shuts off at night so we had to turn off and back on.
- Zabrina (8/5): Very good -
- James (9/5): Superb - The breakfast was simple but satisfying. The location was very convenient only being a few blocks from the centre of town. Lots of restaurants and supermarkets close by. It is located on a quiet side street. We had to park out on the sidewalk, but there were no issues or security concerns in this neighborhood. Would highly recommend this facility to anyone.
- Gytis (10/5): Very good place to stay short or long time - Book with confidence, i give 9.5 because no table to work with laptop in your room
The rest is amazing , clean, ac, car parking, very friendly people working there, delicious breakfast for extra fee or you can cook your own in shared kitchen
Kitchen is clean and well maintained
- Jack (8/5): Modern, clean and comfortable La Fortuna gem - Modern and clean facilities - the bedroom in particular was super comfortable and light. The kitchen came fully stocked with everything we needed to cook some meals. The hotel staff were very friendly and helped us to book our onward travel to Monteverde at a good price A little distance (10 mins) from the town square. The kitchen and attached lounge wasn’t air conditioned so it was difficult to relax here.
- Samuel (10/5): Exceptional - My stay was fantastic. The room was great and the shared balcony is a lovely addition. The whole place (including communal areas) is spotlessly clean. The real highlight for me was the attentiveness of the staff, who were all fantastic and especially helpful booking transport for me in advance and being available for check in despite my flight/arrival being delayed. Thank you to you all!
- R (10/5): Will stay again! - Love this place. Clean, good location, quiet. Delicious breakfast for $7 :) AC was a bit noisy at night, but not a huge deal. It just startled me :D
- R (10/5): Really nice place to stay - Súper clean, nicely decorated, quiet , easy walk into town. Comfy bed and cozy atmosphere. Safe. I’ll stay here again next time I visit :) Nothing major. A tv in the room would be nice but wifi worked fine
- Bertram (9/5): Casa Macaw provides a nice quiet stay in La Fortuna. - The Casa Macaw seemed to be undergoing a little renovation and the business was handled by the Hotel Alicia next door. The staff was very friendly and helped me with my transportation outside of La Fortuna. Shower hot, no real traffic noise, and very close to the town and many restaurants. There is a kitchen for use. And plenty of AC. There were two outlets that were out of order but the others were working. No other complaints.
- Alfredo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dean (8/5): Very good -
- Kuen (9/5): Superb -
- Carroll (4/5): I wouldn’t come back here. - Breakfast was fine. The room was claustrophobic, with windows at ceiling height, so we couldn’t see anything of the outside. The bed was huge, and took up most of the floor space, such that we were tripping over our luggage. In a word, it was a soulless and depressing place. Also, marginal lighting for someone who likes to read.
- Fuqua (9/5): Superb -
