Cons: The common areas could be in better conditions:-)-it is not a big deal though.

Lovely hostel
Pros: Lovely quiet hostel with a chill vibe, away from tourist hotspots and great for relaxing. The village is fully walkable, and the hostel is in a great spot to explore the surrounding area. Check out the swimming hole at the river, a hidden gem! Nice host, the cutest dog and (sometimes a little too) friendly cats.

Welcoming and serene retreat with friendly hosts and a vibrant guest community,
Pros: The hospitality at Montaña Linda Hostel Orosi was notable, with the hosts being exceptionally friendly and helpful, contributing to a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. The efficient check-in process was appreciated, and the additional night we stayed speaks volumes about our satisfaction with the accommodation. The social settings in the common areas were inviting, allowing for enjoyable interactions with other guests. The shared kitchen was well-equipped, making self-catering easy and convenient. The presence of pet-friendly amenities and resident animals added a homely feel for animal lovers. The peaceful environment and the proximity to a charming restaurant playing night flute music enhanced the overall serene experience. Additionally, the availability of clean drinking water and multiple restaurants within walking distance were convenient.
Cons: The initial confusion regarding the location due to similarly named properties was a slight inconvenience. Clearer signage and directions would have prevented the initial mix-up. Also, one of the bathrooms not having a working water heater was a minor drawback, though it was a manageable issue given the number of other available facilities.

Pros: The owner is very nice and wants to help The common area is nice
Cons: The dorm smelled a lot (humidity) so all your clothes were the same if you leave them out of your bag The room should be cleaned because there are spiders and dust under the beds… finally, the mattresses could be changed because they have been enough used

Great value, very comfortable, would highly recommend
Pros: Kitchen was very well stocked! Enough mugs and plates, pots and pans for everyone to cook with! Also, loves the baskets they put in the kitchen for people to store their stuff as well as the bathroom baskets. And the different options for hikes and waterfalls with the directions already printed out! Definitely visit the watering hole, Rio Macho is the nicest river to swim in in all of Costa Rica.
Cons: Upstairs bathroom never got restocked with toilet paper but it's ok cause the downstairs ones were always stocked and perfect.
