Reviews of The Jungle Container

The staff and owners were all helpful, friendly people. The kitchen was very clean and well equipped. The cat was very special. Birdwatching from the upper deck overlooking the back jungle clearing was very rewarding with comfy hammocks and chairs. The pool is amazing with waterfall and colored lights. The perfect cool down.

There was nothing that I didn't like. The hostel is a walk from town because it is in the jungle, but I think less than 2 kilometers to bank, shops and restaurants, and to the malecom. It was very pleasant to be lodging away from city bustle.

We received great detailed information about the checkin prossess and assistance from the owners mother. What a lovely design for a hostel/apartment style accommodation. A beautiful clean refreshing pool. Nice sized rooms, good kitchen area. Staying here gave us opportunities to meet the travelers from Costa Rica and from around the world. We took a 15 minute walk to downtown Quepos and the park/walkway at sunset and explored the interesting places to eat.

We loved everything about this place. However, wherever we stay, we are prepared for noisy environments. Bringing earplugs is a good idea. Wind animal and bird noises sometimes other people talking can keep you awake if you want to retire early. Some young people there were talking and laughing in the common area but were respectful and were quiet by 10 PM. We enjoyed this but some people might not.

Nice pool, very kind host

Dogs barking as well as noisy other guests waking us up in the morning

Very nice place with knowledgeable host. Shared kitchen for those who like to cook.

Closest restaurant is a hot 15 minutes walk.

The pool! Is amazing to have a pool after coming back from manuel antonio park (the park closes at 3 pm). The container rooms are quite small but enough for a couple, we had an aircon and didn't mind it at all. The kitchen is well equipped and bonus - you can see animals from the pool (we saw a few ara parrots right from the pool). Very secure parking included with the room. The staff / owner are nearby to help if needed. Wifi is fast and stable

People are mentioning it - it is like 10 - 15min walk to restaurants or supermarket. We had a car, didn't mind it one bit.

It was a really cute and unique place. Tere was wonderful and helped us out with check in and explained everything thoroughly. The balcony was wonderful and lots of birds visited in the morning.

Could have used some more signage- We stopped at the parking garage but should have been up by the property. Not a big deal but a little sign saying check in ahead would have been helpful.

Staff is great!

The rooms with shared bathrooms are a bit small and doesn’t air very well, but ok for the price.

This was an eclectic stay as they used old containers, that likely fell off a ship somewhere (so good that they aren't still 'out there') to build a site such as this. Terri, was super friendly and accommodating. Their little pool was fun as well.

It is really 'off the beaten path' so once you're there, you're there. It's tough getting your car in and out of this little lane-way and there's barking dogs everywhere, but there are everywhere in CR (Costa Rica) anyway. At least no roosters. I'd go back in a New York minute.

Very cheap for a group Clean Pool was good

A bit too noisy Overall great overnight stop

Beautiful outdoors, Owners nice and helpful, Right in the middle of the jungle, really feels like out of time and space Bed comfy with fan 👌 Great pictures for Instagram xdddd

A bit hard to find, indications a little tricky but still manageable! Great for a night to disconnect, although it's not really walkable distance from downtown and points of interest Lack of storage place in the room, not a single shelf (but I'm sure it can be fix pretty easily 😀)

Price

Too small

The hostel was great, very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We liked that it was walking distance from town but on the outskirts in thr jungle. We saw mackaws and squirrels in the trees from the pool. The room was comfortable and had AC, the kitchen was well equipped and we loved the pool. We also loved the friendly cat.

Not the fault of the hostel at all - but the people in the room next door arrived home from partying at 3am and were talking very loudly and then on the phone until 4:30/5am. The walls are thin so you can hear everything. Like I said, not the accomodations fault but just bring earplugs just in case.

A wonderful stay. Exceptionally clean. All my questions were responded to very quickly. I was allowed to check in early AND upgraded automatically for free to a lovely room with sliding glass doors & excellent A/C. I got a great recommendation for a seafood restaurant called Sabromar overlooking the ocean for sunset that was NOT priced for foreigners. The family that runs this is very sweet and stored my luggage after checkout so I could go snorkeling before my afternoon bus ride. They even let me shower after I came back to pick up my luggage. The best part of this place is the location, which is a leisurely walk to town, but removed enough from the hustle and bustle that it does in fact feel like a jungle retreat. Thank you!

My bathroom was located next to the shared kitchen, and had windows that didn’t close (just screened). So, when other guests were up late chatting, I could hear them quite well. Maybe a noise curfew in common spaces could be helpful.

The place is clean, kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need! Close walk to quepos and bus routes

No hot showers, a cat that doesn’t belong to the hostel meows the whole night and tries to break into your room lol

Small pool available, jungle view, common area with good vibes Clean

Only one bathroom which was shared, the other one was not working, bathroom is the toilet with shower together. Rooms are really small, only bed fits in

Great garden with pool, hammocks, outdoor kitchen and great view into the rainforest. Aircondition available in most of the rooms.

Location is quite remote, you need a car. Parking is available but dog escapes each time you open the gate to park your car.

Lovely accomodation close to Quepos and Manuel antonio. The price is very reasonable The pool and gardens are beautiful. The kitchen is well equiped. The host's Mother came to greet us and she was the nicest person we met in costa rica ! Loved our stay here would highly recommend
