Reviews of Embassy House

The host was very friendly and welcoming. The garden is lovely, and the room was cozy and comfortable.

Very friendly host and was very nice to accommodate my very early departure time and still provide me breakfast.

Beautiful house with spacious garden, cozy terrace and very friendly dog and cat. Make sure you don’t miss homemade breakfast served by the most kind owner of the house.

Embassy house is a very unique place! The host Rafael is extraordinarily kind and helpful. He has a dog named Fidel and a "fat", orange cat named Trump. Both are very cute! The house is full of books, chessboards and other cultural assets, which formed a base for intriguing conversations. The house is located at the very edge of the village. It has a beatiful garden with a terrace on which we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Overall the place has -in the most positive way- a certain "movie-like" feel to it. My girlfriend and I, having planned to go directly from San José to Corcovado national park by bus, our stay in Puerto Jimenez was originally a necessary measure, since there was no connecting bus at the same day we arrived. We ended up enjoying every minute of our stay and Rafael even provided some information about the animal species to be observed in the national park. Overall, I can totally recommend staying at Embassy House and would love to come back any time soon!

Kind and helpful host, cooked us a great breakfast, very charming cat and dog.

Great host along with his dog and cat. Great breakfast and good internet. Single room in house with access to back yard.

Neighbor dogs can make a real racket in evening and night.

The host was so welcoming and nice! The room was very clean and the house was amazing, it was a great place to stay. He kindly let me do laundry after all of my clothes got wet in the rain/humidity.

We stayed for 2 nights in a corner room with amazing view into the garden. Rafael is amazing host. He recommended us where to go in Puerto Jimenez and he cooked us amazing breakfast!

Felt very safe as a young woman travelling alone Rafael’s great company and cooking Centrally located

No AC at the time (doesn’t bother me though)

It is a room in a house, in a short walking distance to everything you may need, with windows open to a nice garden - you will be woken up by birds in the morning. The owner is wonderfully helpful and friendly, you will enjoy his company and advice (and the company of his cat and dog). The place is clean and very convenient. You will share the bathroom. Staying at this place is a kind of good experience by itself, you will be immersed in local life and bring home good memories. Strongly recommended.

The vibe is great, the dog and the cat are simply adorable and the host is an incredible human being. Great conversations and simple, down to earth communication. Recommended!

I cannot fault a single thing - it was what I expected, great value for the money I paid and what I had expected. I think the ad could be clearer to explain to others that they will be staying in a room, etc. Also, the location on the map or the pin drop is not accurate. That could easily be changed and I would add a picture with some instructions on how people can find it - it can help others.

Very sweet and kind host, and his dog :) He made us a delicious breakfast in the morning and made us feel so well taken care of and looked after. Sharing a bathroom was not even noticeable at all.

We chose this place because the listing said there was air conditioning, but there was not, only fans. But it was fine in the end! Lots of screened windows for breeze.

We had an amazing time in Embassy House! :) Property owner Rafael was very friendly and helpful. Our room was nicely clean and airy with a beautiful views to the garden. We will miss delicious eggs for a breakfast served with a cuban music and we will also definitely miss Fidel 🐕

Everything was great.

We loved our relaxing stay at Embassy House. Rafael made us feel at home and gave good recommendations for things to do in the area. The house itself is very comfortable with a beautiful garden to have breakfast in and a dipping pool to cool down in when the day is especially hot. It's a very easy walk to restaurants, shops, kayak tour, bus station and ferry but not right in the busy area. We also fell in love with the resident cat and dog!

Nothing - we wish we had stayed longer!

This is a very friendly bed & breakfast, 1 bedroom inside a private house (shared bathroom) very centrally located with everything within walking distance. Very friendly host who has traveled the world, always open for a chat. He freshly cooked us delicious scrambled eggs for breakfast. We could also store our larger bags while doing a 3 day hike in Corcovado.

Kindness of our hosts, we spent two very nice nights at the Embassy House!

Only stayed one night at Embassay house but would highly recommend. Lovely home with a beautiful garden. Raphael was a very welcoming and accommodating host. He made us a wonderful breakfast in the morning. Two pets in the home, one dog and one cat. Good location, few mins walk to main street for shops/ restaurants and only 10min walk from small airstrip.
