    Beautiful, cool hostel in great central location.

    The room wasn't cleaned during my stay, which normally isn't a problem, but due to the park and beach the floor got quite dirty. But I asked for a broom so was able to deal with that myself. Everything else was lovely. Quepos is a little rough around the edges, especially down by the water, but I felt fine walking around on my own during my time there.

    It's' a really lovely hostel in a great location if you hope to use public transport. It was more money than I would normally pay for a hostel, but you do get what you pay for. The room was comfortable and practical, the wifi was good, I really appreciated having a fridge in the room, the bed was super comfortable, the pool was lovely to use in the evening and the kitchen and shared areas are well thought out and very user friendly. The staff were all welcoming and helpful. The hostel is two blocks from the bus terminal from where you can get the local bus to Manuel Antonio park. I also got a bus to the Mangroves so was glad I chose to stay in Quepos instead of Manuel Antonio as it's a far easier option.

    $6 for towel rental is a crazy price. Cold showers and the showers need renovation.

    Good location, nice clean rooms. The pools are lovely with seating areas around them. There's a big fully equipped kitchen that we used every night which was great. Free tea and coffee too!

    In the four days/three nights I was there the dorm was not cleaned and the bins (including those in the toilet) were not emptied. You have to pay 10 pound deposit for the key of the locker which is a bit weird.

    Beautiful decor. Nice pool area. Comfortable beds. Nice dorms. Good kitchen. Lots of nice seats like rocking chairs and couches and tables with chairs. Lots of green. Free coffee and tea. Close to the bus to Manuel Antonio park.

    There was a slight difference in the price on arrival which was weird. The doors of the showers don't lock but it's still doable (you can make it stay tight and people won't come in if they hear the sound of the shower)

    Loved the pool. Great location. Great boardwalk for runners or those who like to walk. The rooms are very small but comfortable. The pool is really great honestly. The kitchen is huge and you can put your food in a fridge and cook your food. Staff can help you out for tours or for other questions

    Installing hooks in the showers would be convenient

    Greeted warmly at chech-in by Eddie, who is a great ambassatour for the hostel. Hostel went through extensive renovations a year ago and presents a vibe similar to a modern hotel. The center court swimming pool surrounded by shrubs places you in the middle of a tropical setting. Conveniently located close to the bus terminal, eateries and bars. . I highly recommend and would stay here again.

    Place was perfect for the weekend, certainly not a party hostel, but everyone was nice and friendly. Safe with a locked gate to the road and the option for your own rooms (with or without AC). Pool and amenities were both amazing clean and much needed. Day and night stay was great. Would definitely recommend and will likely be back

    The place is okay for the price. The common area feels a bit deserted and lacks any community vibe. The room was basic, which I didn’t mind given the cost. However, the staff wasn’t very helpful—they weren’t great with recommendations or assistance in general. Overall, it’s not a bad place, and its location near the bus station is very practical for getting around

    My room wasn’t 100% clean when I arrived. You could tell it had been cleaned but not thoroughly. There was still urine in the toilet and some small hairs. however when I complained the staff apologised and gave me free breakfast. Otherwise the room was great

    I loved the pool area and the location was great in Quepos very close to the bus station. Easy access to Manuel Antonio national park.

    I stayed in a dorm room with 8 beds, everything in the room was modern and clean, the room had 2 toilets and 2 showers inside so didn't need to go outside to use which was great. The facilities were real good, the pool area was clean and nice area to sit and relax, the shared kitchen area was big with plenty of space it had everything you could need. They have a big upstairs open area. the location was good and definitely value for money, staff were friendly and happy to answer my questions. I really enjoyed my stay here and would stay again

    No lockbox - had to leave valuables at the front One staff made a snarky remark (guy at the desk) when I asked if I needed my key to get out of the hostel when the gate is closed (which is a fire hazard to be clear) but otherwise the staff was nice

    Beautiful property with the pool in the middle to cool off during the day. I liked the outdoor kitchens - plenty of place to cook and chill and work if needed. Dorm was new and mattresses were comfortable. AC was decent.

    The dorm is not super functional. No hooks in the shower for clothes or towel. Also no storage in the room. It's missing a personal light in each bed. Also for such a big place it's missing some tools in the kitchen, and cleaning could be done more often/earlier.

    Big open space with the kitchen/dining area and great location

    The hostel is new, nice and quiet (in the evening). The location is close to restaurants, supermarkets and a 2 minute walk to the bus terminal where you can catch the the bus to Manuel Antonio, Uvita or San José. Helen who works at the reception is muy amable! Definitely recommend staying here.

    No lockers for the dorms. I had to carry my valuables and passport around with me. Nowhere safe to leave them when I was in the shower. Lockers are a minimum requirement in shared accommodation. The guy at check in was very unfriendly.

    Good price, looks very new. Swimming pool and hot tub with seating area if that's your thing. Most of the staff were lovely except one guy.
