Guest Reviews

• Tobias (7/5): -
• Angie (8/5): -
• Yaëlle (7/5): -
• Sahar (5/5): - Great location The beds are so uncomfortable
• Marin (9/5): - Todo limpio el área de cocina y socializar muy bonito . Buena cercania con todo. Podrian invertir en aire acondicionado aunque suban un poquito la tarifa .
• Mena M. (10/5): -
• Ioannis (7/5): Süßes Hostel für ein paar Nächte Aufenthalt - Super Lage, sehr zentral und kurze Wege, aber direkt in der Natur. Man sieht so viele Tiere direkt im Hostel. das Personal war nett. Strände zu Fuß erreichbar Etwas dreckig, gerade die Küche. Im Zimmer war es sehr warm, weil es nur Ventilatoren gab.
• Isabel (8/5): -
• Munguia Oliva (10/5): Calidad excelente - Si nos en canto muy tranquilo el lugar lindo ese mercadito a penas para hir a comer osea todo muy bien Todo está muy padre
• Romane (7/5): -
• Jessica (1/5): Zustand schlechter als auf den Bildern - Der Zustand der Unterkunft ist in Wirklichkeit deutlich schlechter als auf den Bildern. Auf den Bildern ist außerdem Pool mit Aussicht zu sehen, den es jedoch nicht gibt. Die Zimmer sind bloß mit ziemlich veralteten Ventilatoren ausgestattet. Es ist unerträglich warm. Steckdose befinden sich weit oben, daher nutzlos. In der Dusche war ein offenes Stromkabel zu sehen.
• Ricardo A (3/5): - Las camas son muy blandas o muy duras, y además todas suenan. Para una noche es aceptable, pero pasar más tiempo es imposible. Las camas se juntan y eso provoca dolor de espalda. Para el precio, no vale la pena; deja mucho que desear No tiene aire acondicionado, y los ventiladores solo apuntan a las camas de arriba y abajo; uno se muere de calor. Las duchas son malas y tienen cables eléctricos a la vista, lo que es muy peligroso. Además, el personal no maneja bien las reservas: a última hora me hicieron cancelar una y me quedé sin lugar donde hospedarme. Para colmo, cobran el interés dos veces. No lo recomiendo.
• Victoria (6/5): - El staff era muy amable Hace un calor infernal en la habitación que es pequeña y está masificada, casi no hay sitio para el equipaje. Las camas son incómodas y cuando se mueve el de arriba se mueve muchísimo la cama de abajo. El wifi no funciona bien
• Pedro Americo (6/5): Camas horríveis - Dos hóspedes Banheiro e camas péssimos, cozinha suja
• Valentina (7/5): - El personal y la facilidad para comprar y comer en locales cercanos. Enchufes en las piezas de difícil acceso, infraestructura de baños con muchos problemas, refrigerador para dejar cosas se hace pequeño.
• Alice (7/5): - Pas de lit dans notre dortoir, malgré le fait qu’on ait demandé plusieurs fois quels étaient nos lits… car certains semblaient occupés. Ce qui était finalement le cas pour un des deux lits… heureusement une autre personne est arrivée et nous a déplacé, mais nous avons perdu une heure de sommeil pour rien…
• Gonzalez (6/5): - . Estuvimos esperando como 3 horas para el check in ya que solo se puede realizar en una franja horaria de 8 horas , y había gente , solo que no quisieron realizarlo hasta las 14 hs , y mucho calor en las habitaciones , podrían mejorarlo, no es cómodo teniendo en cuenta el precio
• Nicolas Steven (8/5): -
• Allan (7/5): -
• Kateryna (10/5): - Pasé solo una noche en el hostal, pero estuvo muy bien. Es muy espacioso, la cocina tiene de todo y el personal es muy amable. La parada del bus está justo enfrente. Se puede ver monos😄
• Elise (9/5): -
• Cynthia (3/5): -
• Lisseth (1/5): - The location We paied for the air conditioning they said they had it when going into the room the AC wasn't working at all, and at the end we had to looked for another placed I asked for our money and they did not provide the full amount we paid even dough they were at fault. The pictures also showed a pool, and they don't have a pool. Awful place don't recommend at all
• Cristian (3/5): Mala relación precio-calidad - La ubicación del lugar El baño compartido sucio, la habitación bastante precaria para el pago realizado ya que solo había un ventilador que generaba mas calor que frio, chapa de la puerta suelta por lo que costaba abrirla, no habia la cantidad suficiente de implementos en la cocina para la cantidad de personas que admiten en el hostel, el parqueo super complicado de encontrar y no es privado, es estacionarlo en una calle interior.
• Aleksandra (4/5): -
• Evelyn (10/5): Great experience with lively people and animal sights! - I really liked staying at this hostel. Don’t even know where to start. The staff is super friendly and open, not distanced at all. There were activities in the evening and the volunteers are super friendly and open people. The kitchen is the cleanest, I‘ve seen, compared to any other hostels, with cleaning personnel cleaning it every day. The hostel is colorful and the kitchen is open, located next to a forest so you will really likely see monkeys and toucans. First one‘s might come for a visit, so make sure to not leave your food open! There is a bus going directly to Manuel Antonio, Espadilla Beach and Quepos, which is very cheap. Also there are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets.
• Gastón (10/5): - Me gustó todo. La ubicación principalmente y la habitación amplia. Todo ok.
• Arguedas (10/5): - Siempre me recibe muy bien se lo agradezco mucho me siento muy feliz 😄 😄 Que no tuviera desayuno cómo siempre pero muchas gracias por la atención brindado
• Erika Sofia (6/5): - Me gustó mucho la ubicación , la atención de la señora de limpieza y las chicas de recepción. Lo único q pasó es q el dueño festejó su cumpleaños en la cocina del Hostel y fue una fiesta q duró hasta tarde. Deberían tener en cuenta q hay gente que va a descansar y ese tipo de eventos hacerlos en otro lugar. También tenían una heladera para muchos huéspedes deberían tener una más . Después de eso fue una buena experiencia
• Arguedas (8/5): Me encanta es como en casa - Que me permite a mi perro 🐕 Ya no dan desayuno
• Samuel (5/5): Regular - Salimos temprano y no desayunamos. Además no se nos explicó si había y tampoco la hora. Mucha gente borracha y fumando a media noche cerca de nuestro cuarto.
• Alejandra (10/5): Excelente y quiero agradecerle al personal por su paciencia y atención. - Las instalaciones son bonitas y las habitaciones son cómodas. Además, mucho avistamiento de monos y fauna. Las habitaciones podrían traer un poco más de cosas incluidas, más paños por ejemplo, pero tampoco nos hizo mucha falta, la pasamos bien.
• Ileana (10/5): - Hermoso todo. Y en especial monse es una divina total
• Barrera (10/5): -
• Guest (7/5): Creo que cualquier lugar de este maravilloso sitio del planeta, vale la pena. - El lugar muy bonito, el trato, la cocina, y el perezoso que estaba viviendo al lado, Pura Vida!!! El colchón, y la iluminación del comedor.
• Guest (7/5): - Todo bien.
• Katherine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matthew (6/5): Average stay - Good location, bus stop was just outside the property, Near to restaurants. Rooms are very basic. Communal kitchen was quite dirty and could do with a deep clean. We booked a room with AC, which upon arrival was not available as other guests were staying in the room. Might have just been a one off but we had no water for 24hours so couldn’t shower or use the toliets !
• Quiterie (5/5): Passable - The staff was really nice. The pictures are not representative of the reality. I was in room 7, technically we did have AC. The windows were broken… so the AC was also being lost. It was way more rough than the pictures on booking. There was no side tables, no lights (except for a bulb on the ceiling) and we were charged $60 for the night (a complete rip off). Not their fault but we also did not have water…. So no showers or anything during the stay. I then stayed at Lara lodge - book there!
• Adele (10/5): Exceptional - I love the people, the owners are great friendly young couples, it's a 5 to 7 minutes bus ride to the beach, very clean , big kitchen to make your meals and then there is Mike 😘 an amazing guy he is incredible with everyone it doesn't matter if you are young or old black or white male or female he treats everyone the same with love and respect 😘 thank you to all of you for making me feel welcome Nothing
• Glaucimara (1/5): Bad -
• Nina (3/5): Poor - Good location I felt very unsafe. In our women's bedroom there was a hole in the net by the window, which resulted in a power bank being stolen. We were not compensated for this. In addition, we were harassed by an elderly man, even after we told the manager, nothing was done about it. The place in general was unsafe, at night - just above the Hostel - were constantly loud fireworks.
• Alessia (7/5): I still appreciate stayed there for the night, we were fews stop bus from the beach and the worker was very cool and fun - The location is very good! There is supermarket 20 sec away, the kitchen is kinda in the forest, and there is many shower / bathroom. Water in the shower was burning i could shower, i had to go in an other one and it was freezing. The kitchen was nice, but the hostel dosent provide anything like , in the other hostel they have some salt , butter, (the basic) and they didnt have anything so i think for the price at least butter and salt. And the bed was ok but not comfortable at all.
• Fran (1/5): Bad -
• Root (8/5): Very good -
• Enric (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ruesche (7/5): Good -
• Muñoz (8/5): Good staff and clean place, easy to see animals within the hostel near the kitchen - Comfortable and cheap Just one guest but those are the risks of staying at hostels
• Matas (10/5): One of the best hostel I ever been! - Everything is amazing about this hostel! I don't understand why views are so bad...
• Emmanuel (10/5): Great place and people - Mike was a very great guy to deal with there! Treated me like family I highly recommend this place and his amazing customer service No complaints!
• Sol (5/5): Passable -
• Pame (7/5): Good -
• Eric (7/5): Good - The people I met from around the world! To many people on WiFi line
• Nir (8/5): Very good -
• Marek (4/5): Disappointing -
• Carina (10/5): Casita hermosa - It was so much nicer here than i first though it would be. A lot of toilets and showers , fans in the room and lockers. Just a few staircases and you were at the bus stop and the supermarket. The only thing that could have been better is somewhere to wash cloths and someplace at the hostel where you could sunbath
• Ricardo (8/5): - Me gusto la amabilidad de los propietarios, realmente fueron muy amables y dispuestos a ayudar, en general me la pase bien en la estadia en el hotel.
• Cécile (4/5): Séjour décevant - Points positifs : Hostal proche de l’arrêt de bus, ce qui est très pratique si vous n’êtes pas véhiculé. Personnel très gentil et accueillant. Nous avons pu voir un paresseux de la cuisine, ainsi qu’un iguane sur le bord de la piscine. Points négatifs : Hostal extrêmement bruyant (musique le soir très tard et très forte). La cuisine, la piscine et les parties communes sont sales. Il n’est pas rare que certains occupants mettent leur enceinte d’1 mètre dans la cuisine le soir et on ne s’entend même plus parler. Les gens fument dans les parties communes alors que c’est bien indiqué que c’est interdit. Dans le frigo commun, nous nous sommes fait piquer des affaires.. Il n’y a pas de wifi dans la chambre, uniquement dans les parties communes, mais c’est un détail. Voilà l’ambiance qui règne sur cet hostal.. C’est dommage car le personnel est très gentil, mais il devrait vraiment faire en sorte que les règles de vie commune soient respectées.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Very bad, they should shut down to refurbish it. - This establishment should not be able to operate. The condition of the place is very bad: there was no water, the toilet is broken, the shower wires were exposed, there was a whole in the wall next to the bed and all of this happens at the best room they have available, normally at 40 USD per night. This place has not been properly maintained in years. I left the place as soon as I could.
• MELANIE (10/5): - This apartment is located in a gated area, a 5 min walk to the beach and 5 min to the entrance of the Manuel Antonio National Park. There is a great restaurant next door called El Chante serving decently priced local food. My unit was on the 1st floor, just 4 units in total. I saw deer at night, and monkeys in the day right outside the door! The AC was very cold, and ceiling fans were strong too. The kitchen has a blender, toaster, coffee maker as well as a fridge and stove. all pots pans and kitchenware are there. no microwave needed! some essentials are provided too, like cooking oil, some coffee, salt and sugar. In the bathroom, shower soap is provided but bring your own shampoo and conditioner. 2 beach towels and 4 bath towels are provided, but bring your own wash clothes. Sliding back door opens up to a hammock on the porch, enclosed by screen so no mosquitoes get in. there is a wash sink there as well, a good place to wash and hang your wet clothes after the beach! owners are super helpful and great communication. This area is located at the bottom of the mountain, many of the other restaurants and hotels are in Central Manuel Antonio, a $5 taxi, readily available nearby. To the bus station or airport in Quepos, the blue and white bus picks up at the Manuel Antonio beach closeby, a 5 min walk or, $10 by taxi to Quepos. You will not regret booking this location!
• Aurora (4/5): ikke anbefalt - Var såvidt det rant vann i vasken og det gikk ikke ant å skylle ned på doene.
• Austin (10/5): - Bien acceso a Quepos y Manuel Antonio
• clint (6/5): - Nice place but lacking heavy on the cleanliness
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Muy tranquilo para descansar, es un poco alejado del centro de Manuel Antonio
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Super friendly hosts, lots of wildlife and centrally located
• Candice (8/5): - The hostel is comprised of a number of blocks. The staff is very nice and caring. They explain details of tours, transport, etc very patiently. Very pleasant and enjoyable experience there!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Bof - Accueil très limite même froid. Les chambres sont pas très propres les sanitaire très moyen. Le petit Dej c est 2 pancake ( super sec ) et du cafe. En bref un pack back très moyen vu le prix
• Philip (8/5): Great hostel for a few nights - The hostel was in a great location, very close to local restaurants and supermarket. The room was spacious and the bathroom was basic but ok. The view from the balcony was great. There is a kitchen which was clean and had everything you need. It was very hot but even without air con it was ok. The area is great and very easy to get to the national park as bus stops right outside. The guys on reception were really good and gave lots of advice on how to get around and what to go see.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - No me gustó nada. Tambien la locacion no fue adecuada y habia mucho vicio. No es nada como las imagenes que ustedes muestran. Ni siquiera nos quedamos ahi. Necesito que me hable un manager porque necesito que me fevuelvan mi dinero.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - This place was super tight, a gal pal and I just stayed for one night. The joint serves it purpose, its a roof to sleep under with an absolutely fair bed, while your exploring one of the intriguing corners of Costa Rica. Breakfast was great and quite a thrift. there was a cool cat. Bus stop for the national park is literally right in front of the place.
• Ana (8/5): - A localização é excelente e o hostel tem um serviço de café da manhã típico por um preço acessível.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - La vista de la piscina es increíble, es bastante grande y siempre está todo limpio. Lo único que le agregaría es desde la calle un rampa para bajar a la zona de la casa porque cargar la maleta por La escalera fue un suplicio. También mantendría un poco más la calle para bajar a la piscina y buscaría un mecanismo para acceder a la zona donde se cuelga la ropa si es que algo se queda ( ahí quedó parte de mi traje de baño). Por lo demás, la habitación muy cómoda, los baños tienen buena presión y agua caliente, muy bueno todo.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The area is overpriced for many things. This place was overall decent value.
• Michael (8/5): good value, great homebase for the NP :) - Stayed for two nights. It is conveniently located right next to a supermarket and a great, reasonably priced burrito & burger place. A short bus ride (every 15min) brings you to the beach and NP entrance. The hostel can get noisy at night but overall it was ok. Comfy beds, fan, fully equiped kitchen, enough (hot!) showers - all you need.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Muy atento su personal, las instalaciones limpias y agradables
