The facilities and comfort were quite basic. While fine for a short stay, a few improvements in amenities and room setup would make it more comfortable overall.

Luis was incredibly kind and helpful — he even lent me a bag after mine was stolen, which I really appreciated. His support made a real difference during my stay.

The bed wasn’t overly comfortable but Atleast had a net for all the mosquitos. Location is a bit further out than expected but only 10 minute walk from the town

Luis was a great host! He helped us a lot with information about transportation and activities in the area. The location of the hostel was quiet but still near the center and it had a lovely garden. Our room was really big and clean and had a brand new floor.

Lounge area needed some repairs.

Shout out to the staff. Luis and Keisha were wonderful. Luis' recommendations were especially helpful. I felt he tried his best for the guests. A+++ for his efforts; keep it up, Luis!

As always in Costa Rica the walls are quite thin, but with ear plugs everything was fine.

Luis is the nicest host we have ever had during a stay! He helped us a lot with busses to Cahuita & La Fortuna and was always there when we needed him. The kitchen is really well equipped and has everything you need. The common area is really nice as well. The accommodation is right in the nature, we saw lots of animals right next to us. It’s around a 10 minute walk into the city centre.

hard to find at the firs time, a little walk from the main road, but still there are lamps overnight so you do not walk in the darkness

super great internet, patio, outdoor kitchen, lovely host who told us a lot about the area and gave us great tips where to buy food etc., spacious room, I higly recommend it.

there was a thunderstorm and one of the trees fell down which broke the internet cable wire and the whole block did not have internet for like a day but not the owners fault. someone stole our beer from the fridge and that was really annoying.

spacious room, quite place, 5 minute walk to the centre, Very nice owners and good value for money.

The owners of the hostel were superfriendly. Location was great, in a more quiet part of Puerto Viejo! The room and kitchen was really good for the price!

The corrugated metal roof and the thin walls; it was rather noisy.

It’s location.

I didn't appreciate being met by all of the construction materials at the beginning of the cabinas' walking path. It was quite confusing to see so much stuff piled next to the place where guests can sit or leave their belongings upon arrival or when they leave. Those materials should be properly stored away from the guests' entrance and view; it takes away from the very lovely charm and experience of the cabinas. And, those building materials are a hazard for children or anyone not careful of their step. I would suggest a light placed near the Bed for moving around in the dark. I didn't like having to waste electricity in the night because the bathroom light was left on all night because I may be in bed, but not necessarily ready for sleep 😴 at times, or because I wanted to watch my step if I got up for the restroom. The name of the place is hidden behind a beautiful floral tree 🌳

Keisha, the housekeeper, hostess, tour guide, and everything you need her to be, helped me with feeling very comfortable with my space. They provided insect repellent for the mosquitoes 🦟 at night, and it worked so much so that I was able to enjoy my window being opened to appreciate the lovely garden view and sounds of nature. I am grateful I had the privilege to try Luis's best vegan burger patty I have ever eaten! And, Keisha's tuna pasta was very delicious, too 😋. I loved my room! It is spacious, comfortable bed, hot showers when the setting is on less pressure. I loved feeling comfortable out in nature, and I will choose to come back here again. The location is perfect for the quietness out in nature, and close enough to walk to the town's center and the beach ⛱️. I, definitely, got my bang for my bucks. I saw a mom & baby Sloth 🦥 on my first day which was so very special to watch them play.

We liked everything

The owner was super helpful and helped us get to Panama, he has a pdf file he created to tell you all you need to know when traveling to puerto viejo!

Nothing, Really Enjoyed Staying Here

Absolutely Everything, A Short Walk Away From The Party And Resturant Road So Peace And Quite To Enjoy The Wildlife Noises

The position given in the description its not correct, the place is much more far away. I felt isolated.

No hot water

The ambiance of the lounge area. The kitchen allowed me to spend less eating out. it’s tucked away off the main road. It’s quite and secluded; but still a short distance from main town and beach. The property also has bikes to rent. The staff was very available. It’s peaceful

When I arrived nobody knew about me and my room was not ready, it was already time for check in though. As many others said, the property has to be maintained and cleaned. It could be a really beautiful spot, as the garden is amazing. Guys next door made party until 4AM, I had to get up 2 hours later. Disrespectful guests are not the fault of the owner. But nobody cared about it. It is more far away from town then expected, therefore you have lush nature around you.

Hosts were nice. Flexible with letting me stay for 2 nights, although I had booked 3 (therefore had to pay a bit more per night, what wasnt told me before) Amazing garden, nice terrace.

The reception was kind of messy, there’s no real hostel/hotel feel. It’s not the cleanest, but in those terms you get get value for money. For a cheap stay with not too much hassle, it’s okay.

It is centrally located in the village, you can walk to restaurants, bars and the supermarket. The room is relatively big.

There was a water leak in the bathroom, and toilet paper wasn't being restocked. Community areas and kitchen were quite dirty. The owners hassled about payment in a very uncomfortable, scammy and rude way, as early as the first day upon arrival. There was nothing to confirm received payment. We wouldn't stay here again.

It's not far from the main street and the city. There is a really good breakfast bakery close, even though that one is quite expensive.
