Guest Reviews

Isabelmarie (10/5): - Un hostal muy céntrico en Monteverde. Me gustó mucho la experiencia, al regresar a Monteverde volveré a agendar sin dudas
Geraldine (9/5): The owners were so hospitable, I would come back and stay again. - I liked our room location, facing the courtyard. The owners & staff were great people. Warm reception and very welcoming. Such a pleasure to talk with. The breakfast was delicious. The hostel was very clean. We were right there …. within walking distance to the town’s shops and eateries. The hostel is in Santa Elena, only a few minutes drive to Monteverde. The hostel is on a central street, so only street parking is available. We were fortunate to find a spot in front and moved the vehicle closer once traffic cleared in the evening. You have to expect hearing motorcycles (lots of them) being in a bustling town and on a busy road. There are quiet moments in the night.
Bernadette (5/5): 2 night stay in Monteverde - It was within the easy walking distance to the local amenities and some interesting places. It was very basic.
Eleanor (8/5): Very good -
Nikhil (7/5): Cheap and Good Hostel to stay for a few nights located in the City Center - Proximity, Good Staff, Comfy Beds Nothing really for the price point
Clare (3/5): Would not recommend - Nothing Lad on reception wasn't interested in customer service just selling his trips. Didn't provide options when asked. Hostel is tired, run down, dirty and had electric cables hanging in bathroom.
Daniella (9/5): Superb - Friendly, helpful guy at front desk Good breakfast
Catherine (3/5): Poor -
Gary (7/5): Ok for a quick stop - The people were friendly and the communal space were great. The room was smelly and dingy
Wendy (1/5): Do not book!! - Nothing! The bed was hard as rock, and walls thin as paper. Also, I had to complain multiple times because I had 0 internet connection and was finally given the account the employee uses.
Santosh (6/5): Pleasant - location and Staff Jeff very very nice person cleanliness n very smelly bathrooms
Rosa Maria (4/5): - Very basic place
Wei (9/5): I booked all activities through Jeff and have a good time there. - The owner Jeff is very helpful. The kitchen is the best place if you want cook by yourself.
Shahaf (6/5): Nice but not for those who seek for silence - Yorle was very nice and helped us to book all the activities that we wanted. It is located in a central area close to restaurants and supermarkets. There were hot water in the shower and the bed was comfterble The room could be cleaner. There is no sound isolation. You can hear every word and every car passing by.
Silvia (7/5): Good - Good location and supportive staff with a tour desk for backpackers. Wifi is not available in the rooms which is a shame as the weather in Monteverde was not the best to be sitting outside.
Radu (7/5): Good -
87henry (6/5): Far to expensive for what you get. - Very friendly owner and staff. Hot shower. Small room's with two beds as only furniture for 50$ is highly overpriced. No hooks, shells etc. for e.g. wet towels. The so called garden is a car park with some flower pots at the sides and fully open to the main road. Extremely unpleasant. No space outside room to sit and relax, particularly if it's raining - and it rains a lot. So you only can lay on the bed.
Kelvin (8/5): - Host was real friendly and very helpful
Arthur (9/5): Superb -
Ciara (10/5): Great value in Santa Elena! - This location is great, the staff were so friendly and helpful (and quick to respond). Breakfast was really nice. Spacious kitchen and lovely outdoor common area. Not a lot of space for remote/co-work indoors, but the rooms and lockers are spacious and everything was clean.
Dennis (4/5): - The blankets were horrible. It was loud. But very friendly staff
Verified traveler (10/5): - Close to bus stop. Half a block to center town. English speaking staff who were more than helpful booking trips ,etc. The rainforest was amazing. The ziplining at Extreme O was a blast. Coffee tour, night walk. Everything was great.
Verified traveler (4/5): Conveniently located but noisy. Great shower - I originally reserved a private room at Sloth Backpackers but on arrival was told to go to the sister hostel two doors down as they were full. Had to make the payment at the property and only cash payments were allowed which I was not made aware of in advance. As I was not at Sloth, my room did not have cable tv as advertised. Breakfast was alright and good service. Did not sleep well at all as both nights I stayed two different guests tried getting into my room - unsure if coincidence or if both guests had been sent to the wrong room? Wind howled through the hotel all night and traffic outside was very loud. Good location and shuttles available, room was clean (especially bathroom) and shower was powerful and hot.
Rikard (8/5): Centralt och billigt boende - När man bor på hostel så får man vad man betalar för. Helt okej standard, frukosten var också okej.
Denis (8/5): Centrally located and very friendly service. - Low budget with excellent service. Downtown, a little noisy during the night. No A/C.
Jackie (8/5): great location, nice staff - This was our first stay in Costa Rica, staying here two nights. I payed via paypal ahead of time, as they were having problems with their credit card machine.That made the check-in process very easy. The room was big with an adequate bathroom, and while there was no fan, the air circulated through at nice through little windows above the front window and in the bathroom. The location is outside of the totally crazy area a few streets away, but it is fairly easy to walk around town. The staff is well familiar with tours, so if you haven't signed up for anything, they can help with that. Walking around Monteverde at all is somewhat challenging at night when it's dark (steep roads, not a lot of lights), but be careful to watch for cars and motorcycles and you will be fine.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel is in a good location. room is clean. Weather is nice in late December.
Verified traveler (6/5): Ok stay. - I stayed here for five nights and it was ok. I don't think it was worth the cost, especially when they added 13% tax on top. This hostel was on the main road and so was very noisy with traffic noise early morning until about 9.30pm. The breakfast was ok, bit enough but was made prior and then just reheated when you turned up. The kitchen closed awas closed from 9pm to 7am, so you had to keep that in mind if you were doing late tour or needed your food before 7am the next day. They were helpful with tours, beds were comfy with extra blanket, but not a lot of space to chill out in. Overall an ok stay, but would probably recommend to try another hostel if you're in Monteverde.
Cieda (6/5): RUDE OWNER! Go elsewhere. - After traveling for over 5 hours I come to check in and Yorle made me feel completely unwelcome even though I had a reservation. She told me to type my info into the computer and got annoyed when it took me some getting used to as keyboards in the U.S. are different. Out of all of the hotels, hostels I've been to I have NEVER had to literally type in my own info. (Lazy much?). The only time Yorle was pleasant was when asking if I was interested in doing activities and told me if I decide to do anything that I absolutely HAD TO BOOK WITH HER and that it was VERY IMPORTANT! The room was decent but the street was VERY noisy. Unfortunately I was ill and spent most of the day and night inside and had trouble sleeping as I heard every conversation and car drive by. This hostel put a damper on my time spent in this part of the country. Don't recommend.
Cindy (8/5): Excellent location - located in Santa Elena downtown, the service was great! and the tours the owner found for us great too.
