+ No me gustó llegué a dormir y mucha bulla en la habitación que se suponía que era de chicas una argentina de mierda cogiendo al lado de mi cama que falta de respeto

- No me gustó muy sucia la habitación era un asco el baño

- Lamentablemente llegue al lugar con la sorpresa que me habían cancelado la reserva. Te envían mensajes por medio de la aplicación para que les digas si llegas o no, si llegan al spam o no los ves a tiempo te cancelan la reserva, al final me quedé sin hospedaje para esta noche y el encargado fue extremadamente grosero y simplemente no quiso colaborar.

+ No me gustó nada

- El señor es mayor, llegamos y no había listo nada, estaban las sábanas sucias todavía, no tenía toallas, de 8 personas nos puso a 2 en el cuarto de servicio y el baño tenía plaga, el baño con sarro, los cuartos sucios, los colchones con manchas de sangre, mi peor experiencia

+ Cuando llegue en el ultimo bus de san jose a tamarindo estaba la puerta cerrada, eran las 10pm, toco timbre y no sale nadie. Continuo tocando timbre y una persona sale y de lejos me dice que no podia ingresar que estaba cerrado y yo teniendo mi reserva.. Le dije q tenia reserva, me hace un gesto con la mano y se va.. yo me quede en la calle, y no pude encontrar hospedaje.. una verguenza, una experiencia que no recomiendo,, eso no se hace, y menos teniendo reserva. 😡

- El trato a distancia q me dieron, ni se acerco el dueño a hablarme, de lejos me echo sin conocerme y yo teniendo reserva. Dejo este comentario para que la gente vea y no elija ese lugar para wue no le pase lo mismo que me paso a mi.

+ Location

- There was no water in the shower. We were told that the whole city experience the problem with the water preasure, but other rooms had enough water preasure to take show unlike ours. So we came to the conclusion that it's the room's problem. During all the stay we had to use other rooms to take a shower while we paid for the private room with the shower inside. It's very dirty. Most of the time there were dirty dished left in the kitchen. The stuff is zero helpful and not nice at all.

We were a group of five people staying here and had a dormitory all to ourselves. The room itself was clean; however, the bathroom was already dirty upon arrival. There was no soap to wash our hands, and only one roll of toilet paper. Outside of the room, there was only one more bathroom we could use, no additional shower. Both our bathroom and the shared one did not seem to be cleaned during our stay, nor were they stocked up with toilet paper. The common areas are cute, and the kitchen is clea...

An sich fühlt man sich in dem Hostel sicher, da es mit einem Tor verschlossen ist und wirklich nur Leute rein kommen, die hier wohnen außerdem ist es Videoüberwacht. Die Betten sind recht gemütlich, das WLAN funktioniert gut. Klimaanlage in den Zimmer. Die Küche ist gut. Allerdings ist das Bad furchtbar dreckig, es laufen Kakalaken und Ameisen rum, ebenfalls im Bed. Es gibt keine Seife im Bad. Das Hostel gibt keinen familiären vibe. Wir saßen nie mit anderen zusammen. Für 2 Nächte OK.

And you feel safe in the Hostel, because it is locked with a gate and really only people who live here come in, besides it is Videoüberwacht. The beds are quite cozy, the WLAN works well. The air conditioning in the rooms. The kitchen is good. However, the Bad furchtbar is dirty, there is Kakalaken and Ant rum running, also in the bed. There is no Soap in the bathroom. The Hostel does not give a family vibe. We do not sit together with others. For 2 nights OK

Vi var själva på Hostelet under ge la vår vecka där så det är definitivt inte ett ställe om man vill vara social. Rummet var inte städat när vi kom dit, det låg gaml platsflaskor och smuts under sängen. En kväll när vi kom hem hade vi inget vatten i vårt badrum. Det gick inte ens att spola toaletterna. När vi frågade ägaren så sa han bara ”det är Costa Rica” utan att komma med förslag på lösning. Vi var tvungna att själva gå till ett annat hostel på kvällen för att...

We were at the Hostel ourselves during our week there so it's definitely not a place to be social. The room wasn't that great when we came in, there was an old plastic bottle and smuts under the bed. One night when we came home we had no water in our bathroom. We couldn't even flush the toilet. When we asked the owner he just said it was Costa Rica without coming up with any suggestions for a solution. We had to go to another hostel ourselves at night to be able to go to the shower and shower.

The best kitchen I've ever had in a hostel! It had everything you would need, and was very clean! The owner was nice and helpful. Plus the free coffee in the mornings was delicious! The common spaces had a good vibe, nice areas to do work or hang out.

Bit of a weird vibe at this hostel. Had to ask for hand soap because they didn’t provide it. Quite expensive for basic facilities. Good location and safety locked gate

+ Todo, la energía del lugar es excelente. Sin tener grandes lujos, sus camas están bastante bien, su piscina es agradable y tiene todo lo necesario para que te encuentres cómodo. Lo mejor es la energía del staff ( sobretodo Alana de Australia, genial ella muy amable) y de los hospedados. Sobretodo

I really liked the courtyard area. It had a couple hammocks and lots of seating. My bed was really comfortable. The bathroom in the 5 person room was not very clean and was missing hand soap. There were lots of ants in that bathroom, even on the toilet. Not a party hostel which I liked. Everyone mostly kept to themselves. I would highly recommend if the rooms and bathrooms were cleaner.

+ The open space is great to chat and get to know people. You can rest there perfectly during the hot noon hours and the evening and chat with other guests. The kitchen is super roamy and has a huge table. There is a drying line, so all the towels and clothes are dry within hours. The rooms are small, but you have a private, clean bathroom, which I liked a lot. Lockers are there as well and you get big towels! The host is laid back, roaming around, but more in the background.

- The AC is a little loud, but after a long day at the beach that shouldn’t bother anyone anymore :)

+ Sehr netter Typ, der das Hostel leitet, hat uns herumgeführt und alle Fragen beantwortet. Wir hatten 2 Betten im gemischten Viererzimmer gebucht, bekamen dann aber ein Sechserzimmer für uns allein. Schöner Aufenthaltsbereich draußen mit Hängematten und gute Lage (5 Min zum Strand zu Fuß)

- Bad und Dusche schienen nicht besonders gut gereinigt, aber für den Preis angemessen.
