Guest Reviews
- Veronique (7/5): -
- pierre yves (10/5): - Tout
- Pauline (6/5): - La chambre est spacieuse. Il y a des moustiquaires aux fenêtres. espace dédié pour les valises. Deux ventilateurs dans la chambre ce qui était nécessaire du fait de la chaleur. L hotel est situé juste à côté de la plage et proche des commerces Nous avons eu très chaud. Les ventilateurs ne permettaient pas de nous refroidir. Les espaces extérieurs ne sont pas très accueillants. Sur les photos apparaît une piscine. Celle ci n est pas sur place mais dans un autre hôtel et elle était vide. Nous avions choisi cet hôtel pour la piscine car pas possible de se baigner à la plage (trop courant) ni dans le canal (crocodiles)

No AC but the fans and open windows were enough!

The staffwere just brilliant

- Tony (6/5): Good basic guesthouse - Very good coffee. Clean. friendly owner Very basic
- Nir (9/5): Superb -
- Marion (9/5): Superb -
- Annabelle (8/5): Good choice for a low price, but really wish we had A/C, Tortuguero was hotter than we expected - Great staff and welcomed us with a drink and we had a small departure gift.
The location was perfect, near from the beach and 5 min by walk from the docks.
There was 2 fans in the room
Good quality for the price! It was very very hot in the room, we really wish we had A/C but we knew we wouldn’t have it when we booked.
Overall it could use some renovations but it was clean and absolutely fine for a couple of nights.
- Egon (9/5): Superb -
- John (9/5): Positive experience - Nice location, quiet surroundings, nice staff, clean room. Taking a boat taxi then hike up the hill in the national park and seeing turtles laying eggs were our high light of this trip. None
- Rohald (6/5): Pleasant - Location just outside street with restaurants. No air conditioning, no sunscreens, so early light in room. Shower not so good
- Ricardo (7/5): Good -
- BENJAMIN (10/5): - Hostel accueillant et conviviale à proximité de la plage et du village. Agréable pour y séjourner plusieurs nuitées
- Stacey (9/5): Superb - The room was great, the bathroom and shower were clean. The girl working there is very sweet. The location was very close to the beach.
- Raul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Liam (7/5): Clean basic accommodation close to turtle beach - It was clean well presented. There was ample cooler water help yourself to. The bathroom were clean but basic ( as presented in the pictures on Booking.com)
The beach ( where the turtles would have been but we were out of season) is 40m away.
The centre of the village is less than 5 min walk.
There is an upstairs veranda with fans for sitting .the green macaws can be seen in the tree outside in early morning
Downstairs a shaded area with hammocks
Wifi on site I had not noticed that breakfast was not available when I booked. Lots of eating options in the centre
- Ramin (10/5): - The Cabinas is close to the beach with shower at entrance so you can wash feet or body before getting to your room. The staff are kind, even if difficult to communicate at times as some don't speak English, but they do their best. The hammocks are a pleasure in the afternoon. There is a common area with tables that you can have your meals which is very useful. The room was clean, beds very comfortable, it was fee hot days when we were there and ceiling fan and separate fans were helpful. The shower water was running well and warm, if needed. Overall, happy to stay there as it feels closer to what local accomodations look like instead of a typical hotel room, so it made it a special memory
- Magnus (6/5): A bed for the night. - Not a fancy accommodation however it has beds and a toilet.
Don’t expect anything else! No spa, no restaurant, no nothing!
- Carole (10/5): Très pittoresque - Hôtes super accueillants avec un cocktail de bienvenue et même un petit cadeau de départ .
Très propre , frigo à disposition
- Eduardo (10/5): - En sus instituciones se nota el descuido y desaseo, deben ponerle más atención al deterioro de la edificación.
- karine (8/5): - Excellent accueil. Jose s'occupe de tout pour vous faire passer un excellent séjour. Tres bien situé proche de la plage et à proximité du centre de vie. Un petit coin hamacs très agréable. Un peu chaud la nuit malgré les ventilateurs ( ma chambre était à côté de la réception). Je recommande cette cabinas
- Diana (6/5): Good budget hotel with charm and convenient location. - Located in town which is convenient and walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Alison who works there is really helpful. I hadn’t realized that I didn’t book a room with air conditioning and it was so hot and humid when we arrived but she moved us to another room upstairs which had much better ventilation with the breeze coming through. Our experience was much better once we moved to the upstairs room with the shared patio. Very colorful and charming decors. Lovely welcome smoothie. Shared fridge and free tea and coffee. The bathrooms are a bit too rustic for my taste. The bath floor mat looked old and was small and maybe hadn’t been freshly washed.
- Blanca (9/5): Fantastic. The staff is very friendly, the facilities are nice, clean and the location is really good - The location and the staff The noise
- Mona (9/5): Superb -
- Erika (10/5): - Could not be closer to the beach. Green macaws in the field in front upon arrival and in the trees during morning coffee. Greeted with best papaya batido of whole trip.
- 93christians (10/5): Pura Vida - The accommodation is functional and only a few steps away from the beautiful beach (inviting for long walks). We were delighted of the friendliness and helpfulness of our hosts. The breakfast offered in a little restaurant in the centre was very tasty.
- Tom (10/5): Would recommend! - Great location in Tortuguero (close to the sea and center of town, no busy street), it's clean, bathroom is quite decent, free coffee and water refill, friendly staff.
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - We loved the big rooms and wonderful upstairs covered porch
- Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Benedetto (7/5): Good - good environment and space to relax nothing special
- Neuna (10/5): Colourful - Lovely colourful place with free water, coffee and tea. Lovely and helpful staff and a nice little chill out area. Located near the beach and the park entrance but a bit outside the main road, which was just perfect for us.
- Graziella (10/5): Lovely quiet small hotel near the beach and the main street - Outstanding customer service, welcome and location Nothing!
- Arne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Scott (9/5): Very lovely! - Hosts were absolutely lovely, very accommodating and helpful with any questions you have. They definitely made the stay at the hostel worth it! Only one issue was rooms were quite warm during the night. Rooms did have fans in them but still was very hot
- Ruiz (9/5): Superb -
- Michelle (8/5): Lovely, if a little basic accommodation with wonderful hosts. - Staff were lovely and welcoming. Room serviced regularly. coffee and tea freely available and fridge to store items in if required. Hammocks are a nice touch Despite the fans the rooms were still very hot, but looking at the other accommodation in the area, we think this would be a universal issue as none seemed to have ac. We had to leave early so didn’t ever find out what the little check out gift other reviewers referred to was lol. Other than that minor disappointment, there is really nothing to complain about.
- Karen (10/5): - Met by very friendly and helpful staff and a welcome cold fruit drink. We were given lots of information about local attractions and help with our ongoing travel plans. Accommodation was comfortable and spacious.
- Svetoslava (10/5): Great place to stay - Very nice, clean place with fantastic stuff, so nice and helpful. Thank you! Totally recommend it!
- PIERRE (8/5): B&b proche de la plage et du village - B&b bon rapport qualité prix pour Tortugueros . Staff très serviable et sympathique .
Chambres à l’étage plus agréables car plus aérées
- Ben (10/5): Exceptional - Great place! Really friendly staff with lovely little extra touches. Family friendly and in a perfect location just by the beach.
- Christa (10/5): Our room accommodated our entire family of 4. the personnel was very helpful and knowledgable. - Excellent coffee was served all day
- Ludgate (8/5): Lovely hotel with friendly staff - Friendly staff. Quiet room. Free tea and coffee. Efficient laundry service. Lovely colourful rooms. Fans were not very effective, so very hot.
- Edgar (8/5): Very good -
- Bart (8/5): Basic accommodation in Tortuguero. The staff is super friendly and helpful. -
- Ruth (7/5): Lovely vibe but a bit too stifling - José made us feel very welcome and was very accommodating. The location is great, right next to the beach. Hammocks are a bonus! Our room was too small for 4 people, extremely basic and very smelly.
None of the rooms have windows, just mesh-covered openings with this curtains onto the walkways which means you hear everything should a child choose to wake up at 6am. There are no windows to the outside. It's definitely value for money but good to know it's not quite stifling on hot weather.
- Martin (9/5): Great location for our 3 day stay in Tortuguero - Quiet location;Close to the beach; super friendly staff; big spacious room
- Sabrina (9/5): Superb - I can recommend staying at this place, it is a good value for the money. The rooms are quite big with 3 beds in it and for me, having no AC was not a problem. It cools down during the night.
As there are no windows just mosquito nets, you can hear the other guest quite good.
You can place your food in the fridge at the reception. There is no place to cook, but there are tables to eat and a common area. The Hostel is close to the beach.
- Ben (9/5): Superb - Nice staff and quiete
- Simon (8/5): Very good - Really friendly and accommodating staff. Fresh welcome juice. Good central location and nice bathroom. Definitely great value. No AC and too hot for fan to be effective.

- Venkata (9/5): Great location and place for the price. Will highly recommend - location was great.staff very friendly. Very natural and you can hear the nature including the soothing rain on the metal roof It’s humid and hot and since no A/C could get muggy. lost power in the afternoon for couple of hours and your sweat glands work overtime.
- Françoise (8/5): Bon dans l'ensemble, amélioration possible - Prix, situation géographique excellent, salle de bain besoin de rafraîchissement. Ce n'est pas un bed and breakfast puisqu'il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner, juste possibilité de faire café et thé a la réception

- Pippa (10/5): Exceptional - Phenomenal staff, were super helpful and friendly and the tours offered were great too!
- Romina (10/5): colorful, friendly and cozy place in tortuguero. - the owner is very nice and he is trying to help with everything. Colorful decoration and big rooms with lot of space for bag and suitcases. rooms upstairs are a bit too hot during the day but they get cool enough for having a good sleep at night.
- Thomas (8/5): Nice stay near the beach - Very close to the beach. The breakfast takes place in a restaurant (3 min) which is very good. The facilities are basic and the stuff is really nice and helpful. The wifi turns off from time to time in takes a while to come back
- Andrek. (10/5): Best stay in Tortuguero - The staff was super nice. We were allowed to check in early and were greeted with a cocktailto. Also, they helped us organise tours in the park which were great and watched our baggage after check out. They have drinking water freely accessible. We would love to come back.
- Angela (9/5): Excellent hotel with great staff - Jose was the best, welcoming, helpful and generally great guy. Welcome drinks are delicious, rooms are clean, bright, spacious and brightly decorated. Close access to the beach and the tour company they use are also amazing for all the tours you want. Use of fridge freezer to keep water cold was great too. Departing gift was the cherry on top 💚 Rooms are sooooooo hot. AC would be an excellent addition.
- Carol (7/5): In spite of heat we loved it - and Josse too. - Location of Cabinas Tortuguero Natural was just great. Very close to the beach and an open area with birds and tropical plants. Bright cheerful Costa Rican colors and the little swans on the beds that made up the towels made the room special. We opted to stay downstairs because of the extreme heat during the day. Liked the little garden with the faucets for washing off the sand. Loved the frozen pineapple and papaya pieces that were in the freezer/refrigerator (lobby area) for use at any time we wished. Very refreshing. No charge except a replacement fruit at the end of our 3-day stay. Loved and needed the large fans that helped to cool the room for sleeping. Beds were comfortable. Heat was so extreme in the room that we wished for an air conditioner at all times. We selected the hotel for it's cheerful appearance, location and price so NO AC in the rooms. Upstairs seemed to be even hotter, but a nicer view. Bathroom was not extremely clean. Especially the shower head needed cleaning.
- Steffen (7/5): Good - - Close to the beach, bars and national park
- Organisation of good tours - Very hot (No A/C, only fan)
- Sand everywhere (room service not daily)
- Camila (8/5): Very good - It’s a peaceful place really close to the beach
- Flo (10/5): Colourful cabins, extra details show the care provided, we were made to feel very welcome - The details of the room. The little details made the stay very lovely. The staff were also great 👍🏼
- Annahumming (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel owner is really nice. He organized a boat transportation in last minute.
Great location. It is possible to hear the waves of the ocean which is really relaxing. The beach is not far away.
- Moshiko (7/5): nice experience with some comments.... - The location eas great, the staff were very friendly and helpful, working hard to keep the place clean. The place could use a face lift, the room eas very crowded with 4 beds.
- Paul (9/5): Good value room in Tortuguero - Good budget hotel in Tortuguero. Friendly staff and clean room. Good value for money.
- Ao (3/5): Poor - nothing it is not a hotel, it is more like a hostel, with no windows, no AC, no hot water, no continuous walls, poorly working toilets etc
- Uwe (8/5): friendly, basic accommodation with good brekkie - friendly staff, low cost, cosy social area. we loved the breakfast and friendly service in the partner restaurant. easy access to the beach. perhaps a bit too basic - no glass windows, the electric shower just connected with two wires (looks like a safety hazard).
- Kathinka (10/5): highly recommended! - nice and very clean rooms, near by the sea with outdoor shower, daily room service included, free water/coffee/tea.
- Daniel (10/5): - Vraiment un petit hôtel charmant tout près de la plage. Propriétaire très sympathique. Vraiment un très bon prix.
- Robyn (10/5): Best hotel ever! - WHAT AN AMAZING HOTEL. The staff is wonderful. The room is cozy and the town is just fantastic. My partner and I ended running behind and missed the last boat. The hotel staff quickly found us a private boat and made sure to text us updates. The captain of the boat was happy to edit till the rain stopped so we didn't get soaked. Once we arrived the staff welcomed us with fresh fruit juice. Our whole stat they were attentive. They were happy to answer out questions and give us advice. The location is perfect. Close to the beach and a short walk to town. Finally on our last day the boat left at 2pm check out was at 11am. The staff simply told us to keep our room till departure. The hotel was simply amazing!!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Visita a tortuguero - La gente súper agradable y el
Servicio bueno, el cuarto muy sencillo y con pocas comodidades
- Jenny (8/5): - Das Tortuguero Natural hat zwar nur 2Sterne, ist aber dennoch zu empfehlen. Es ist super sauber und die Mitarbeiter dort sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben Bernd kennengelernt, einen Guide, der dort tätig ist. Wir haben mit ihm eine tolle Nachttour gemacht.
- 321BrianS (4/5): Not very good - Tried to stay here in March of 2020. The photos and reviews online were all good. Arrived on a Sunday after a long trip from La Fortuna. They gave us a drink and showed us to the room which was hot and pretty basic (two fans, no glass on windows etc).
About 20 minutes later, we showered and then hear an ungodly banging and circular saws next door about 30 feet from our main window. They're installing a new roof by welding metal piping. This goes on for nearly 2 hours and we complained to no avail. We were hungry so we left to go see about other accommodations, and found something nicer for the same price. Came back and same noise and commotion going on. Told them we're checking out and handed the key and contacted our credit card to remove the charges since none of this was disclosed. They couldn't even tell us how to use the shower to get a lukewarm flow.
Hotel is beyond no frills but it was the inconsiderate staff that did it for us. Definitely don't pay cash if you decide to stay here for some reason.
- Hans (10/5): Prefect in every way for us - We had an excellent stay at Tortuguero Natural. As we arrived we all received a refreshing slush. Everything was super clean. The lady was helpful with every question. They have a fridge for public use. It’s about 150 to 200 meters from the beach. Breakfast was included in our booking. The restaurant where you get your free breakfast is close to where the boat landing is.
What a great breakfast. Its a la carte so you can choose just about anything. When we checked out they even gave us a gift for our little grandchildren. If ever back in Tortuguero we would choose to stay there again.
- SM (10/5): - Exactly as advertised. Simple, clean hotel, perfect location off a side street. Very helpful staff, breakfast a pleasant walk into town centre. Water coffee and tea always available. Lots of fans. It is rustic but clean. It was nice hearing the choir practice next door!
