Stunning place

Pros: Stunning decor, although close to the road it felt like we were immersed in the jungle

Highly recommend!

Pros: For $15 / night you honestly get more than you could at any other place you'd pay $50 / night for. You get access to a full sized kitchen (with pots and pans included, as well as a massive porch area with lots of hammocks. In addition to this, the staff are incredibly nice and make if feel ljke you're welcome there!

Good

Pros: The common area was very spacious, owner was very nice and welcoming, kitchen, showers and toilets are very clean well maintained

Cons: The room smells of mold and damp, if you stayed in the 3 person dorm room, it is really noisy when ppl walking on the deck or dragging chairs

Pros: Almost perfect place. Probably difficult to get to without a car. Ut it has a huge veranda, for watching animals und a nice kitchen. Everything was clean.

Perfect stay, good price, perfect for a stopover between caribic and pacific coast.

Pros: Really nice place, hotel quality, great kitchen with complete equipment and nice views from the terrace, bathrooms to share but comfortable and clean. Rooms simple but good. Really Friendly Dutch owner.

Cons: The one and only point is, that the main road goes directly in front of the building, the trucks are too loud.

Pros: A cozy and chill place next to the river and the forest. The balcony is amazing, nice place to have your breakfast and start your day, with some hammocks. Shared bathroom and kitchen.

Cons: Might be incomvenient if you don’t have a car, cause it’s 3km from the City.

Great value, tranquil setting and guests.

Pros: Great kitchen , clean and well equipped. The terrace provided an amazing close view to a couple of sloths,that appeared and delighted every morning!

Cons: Aliitle too far to town to get supplies. The cab ride was 2,200 colones for the almost 2 kilometers. But road wasn't that safe to walk on, as the sidewalk wasn't continuous the whole way. Also my room was a flight of stairs away from the neatest bathrooms.
