Hands down, the best hostel I've stayed at. They have created and maintain a welcoming and hospitable atmosphere that makes it easy to connect with other guests as well. They go out of their way to serve guests, they offer breakfast, dinner, a super convenient airport shuttle, are knowledgable and explain things well. Highly Recommend.

This is a very small sweet place with beautiful gardens within it. It is operated by a family and it has a warm friendly family feeling. I enjoyed it when I first arrived in Costa Rica and again as I was leaving.

Great night’s sleep after flying, amazing service

They were communicative, friendly, responsive. I was able to chat with them at any time and they were so helpful. They were willing to pick me up from the airport in middle of the night and when I didn’t need that, they had someone waiting up for me, greeting me and helping me with my bags. The room was comfortable, beautiful furnished, private and clean. The shower and bed were great. When I left, I got my first “Pura Vida” and a friendly goodbye. I would definitely come here again.
