Reviews of Marfi Inn

SAFE . Awesome Location . Nice people . Clean . Comfy.

They have an an ant issue . I know it’s Costa Rica but … Breakfast assistant waters down the cofffee. They probably do this at home to save money but….needs at least 2+ times the coffee.

My children and I had a fantastic stay at the Marf Inn! The place was spacious, clean, and cozy, with a beautiful garden that made the atmosphere even more inviting. Our host, Brad, was exceptional—very communicative, welcoming, and truly knows how to bring the space to life. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. Everything was fresh and delicious—fruit, eggs, and the homemade bread, which came straight out of the oven and paired perfectly with the jam. It was the perfect start to our mornings. I’m already looking forward to returning to experience the restaurant and live music. If you're looking for a warm, relaxing stay with great hospitality, I highly recommend Marf Inn!

Great location. Close to everything. Breakfast was delicious. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was helpful and friendly.

WiFi was a little spotty.

The owner was very helpful. The accommodation was clean and has an excellent location. The apartment had everything was necessary for these few days.

I booked for 1 Queen Bed and 1 Full Bed but at the end they gave me just 1 Queen Bed and 1 narrow single bed

Good breakfast and nice room!

Bad WIFI and noisy neighborhood.

good location

sound from opozice bar

Location and price, breakfast was very good tasting. Just a couple of blocks from National park entrance, restaurants, groceries, everything at walking distance.

Entrance is a bit rough on sedan cars, just be careful.

Very close to the bus station, central location. Can walk to beaches, national park, restaurants, grocery store. Breakfast was different than in the photos but still delicious—huge bowl of fruit, juice, coffee, toast and eggs. The apartment was simple but comfortable. Did not have extensive cooking equipment but enough to reheat or make something simple. This place has an amazing water filtration in the communal breakfast area with ice cold water! The hostess was super! Outdoor shower was great and to remove beach sand Air conditioning and fan worked well 😃 I would definitely stay here again

The central location does mean that there is more noise-cars along the road, and one night the bar next door had loud music until 1 am (this was on a holiday so not sure if it happens regularly). There were some ants in the room on arrival, but I have found that to be a very common thing in Costa Rica, I suspect the prior guests had left crumbs out which attracts them. The room was spotlessly clean on arrival other than the ants so that was strange.

Great Staff, beautiful and clean rooms, and great location. Very close to the Cahuita National Park and Cahuita Town

During my recent stay at the Marfi Inn, I encountered a mix of positive and negative experiences. On the positive side, the hotel staff was friendly and welcoming, and the property was clean and well-maintained. The room was comfortable, and the amenities provided were up to standard, making for an otherwise pleasant stay. However, there were some notable inconveniences that need addressing. The contact number on the booking page connected me to staff in Italy, who were slow to respond to my inquiries, making it difficult to get timely information before my arrival. Additionally, I was informed over the phone that I could pay with a Point of Sale (PoS) system upon arrival. However, when I got to the hotel, the local staff mentioned they were having issues with their PoS system and did not have an available payment method on-site. This led to an uncomfortable situation where I was asked to deposit the money into a personal account outside of the property. While I complied, I did not feel comfortable or safe doing so. To improve the guest experience, the hotel should provide a local contact number to ensure quicker communication and clarify payment options beforehand. Establishing a reliable and secure on-site payment system would also prevent any discomfort or confusion for future guests. With these improvements, the hotel could provide an even more enjoyable and stress-free stay.

The first thing we want to underline is the amazing breakfast: every morning we got a big bowl of fresh fruit (every morning a different kind of it) plus home made (by the owner) bread, home made jam, home made cake, cheese, ham and scrumbled eggs. Delicious! The apartment was very clean and big, in the centre of Cahuita, 5 minutes walking distance to Cahuita National Park and 10 minutes walking distance to Playa Negra. We really suggest everybody to choose this accomodation run by a family!

Nothing

Close to downtown, good breakfast, nice host

Wifi not very strong

Great location. Super clean. Host was attentive and available.

Kitchen nice and clean but was lacking many things..including a way to make coffee. Although breakfast was included I had to leave to early in the morning so could not eat.

This was my second stay here, liked it. The breakfast is really good, the AC works well, it is really close to everything. The national park is a few mins away. Our apartman was mostly clean, just have a few spots on the blanket.

Some cockroaches run up and down and the wifi was not strong at all.

For a family could be a good solution, our apartment was quite large Quite good breakfast incl in stay price

Very slow internet Quite old equipment Bed was covered with probably clean but splotchy bedcover

Good wifi, good air conditioning in the bedroom comfortable bed, close to The Park and restaurants. Excellent breakfast. Good outdoor seating…and a very basic kitchen.

Occasionally, the music from a nearby bar can be very loud.

The Location and the staff were good

The cleanness was not good, especially the bathroom area, walls, and shower curtain filthy; I found two white towels from the precious guest.

The AC was too weak for the space it had to cool. We had no hot water when we checked in. I had to find someone to turn it on. We missed the breakfast because they closed it before the scheduled time.

Joseph the owner has been great!! We were travelling with our family, the apartment was confortable, clean and nice , we also had kitchen which was very helpful with kids and fridge. In the apartment we found Europe plug to change our Phone etc.. The breakfast was absolutely delicious!! Fresh fruits every day(local fruit) Eggs, hambre Coffee.. Also they have a few table games for kids. She also helped out with our Phone.. we had problem with our sim card and she was so kind to sort out the problem:)) Near by the public transportation, we arrive from San Jose with Mepe bus and took another bus to Puerto Viejo. Near by supermarket, and 5 minutes to the National Park of Cahuita, and 10 minutes from playa negra. We strongly reccomend this place!! Safe, clean, confortable. Grazie for everything;)
