Nice, clean hostel but basic- does the job for a few nights. Not sure what breakfast was included as I never saw anything but there were free bananas. I would go back in future

This is a good place to stay in Monteverde and the location is great. Everything is clean and there are common places to sit inside, however the only thing is there aren’t any great places to sit outside (hammocks, etc.) which I think would improve the place

The staff was not very nice when I came through the car entry because I didn’t find the entry (the taxi driver also didn’t find it), it wasn’t clear from outside that this the entry. The kitchen was not very clean. Also I didn’t try the free breakfast but I heard it wasn’t very good. Didn’t feel very social. Also they didn’t answer to my mail (to let them know i needed to put my medicine in the fridge) and when I got there i was told that i could put it only if there was space in t...

Nettes Hostel in Monteverde. es gibt nicht wirlich einen chilligen Gemeinschaftsraum, das ist etwas schade, aber insgesamt würde ich wahrscheinlich wieder dorg übernachten

Nice hostel. Facilities are a bit old but work just fine! The owner at the reception is so nice and very helpful. Lockers are a bit small and there are no curtains for the beds, but it’s ok. Only thing is “included breakfast” is just eggs, toasts, pineapple jam and a bit of cereal and that’s it. You have to prepare it yourself. Otherwise hostel is great for the price.

Gute Lage und nett dort aber die Küche ist recht unhygienisch und das Frühstück sind bereitgestellte Lebensmittel, mit denen man sich dann selbst was machen kann

Súper confortable. Las camas son cómodas. El agua sale caliente. La cocina es completa. Alonso te recibe con muy buena predisposición y energía y además te orienta según los planes que quieras hacer. Sin dudas volvería!

I only spent two nights there. Overall, however, I really can't complain. Everything was clean. The beds were very comfortable—even though they didn't have curtains. The only things that bothered me a little were that my bed didn't have a power outlet and that it was very noisy at night; furthermore, it was drafty because there were gaps in the wall. The walls are wood-paneled, and air seeped in through the paneling—just as it did through the window, even though it was closed. It got very co...

Probably my fave hostel in Central America so far! Great staff (special thanks to the American volunteer!), good location, perfect blend of social but relaxed, and much-needed hot showers. Lockers are a bit shabby and I guess there could be more power sockets. Also getting anywhere in Monteverde without a vehicle is a pain, but that's not the hostel's fault. A lovely stay!

This hostel was a good place to stay just for a few nights. Reception was very helpful with booking tours/shuttles and laundry service was super quick. Overall great place expect not super social and there wasn’t a free breakfast as advertised.

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt. Der Hostelbesitzer ist wirklich super nett und wir haben einiges an Zeit mit ihm verbracht. Er hat uns tolle Touren empfohlen, die sich absolut gelohnt haben. Die Küche war insgesamt gut nutzbar, auch wenn manche Küchenutensilien schon etwas runtergekommen waren. In den Schlafzimmern wurde es nachts recht kalt, da die Fenster etwas undicht sind und es im Ort generell stark abkühlt. Trotzdem insgesamt eine gute Erfahrung 😊

We loved our stay here at the Hostel. The vibes were amazing due to the owner and his family. Everyone was super helpful and always available during the day for questions. This is what a hostel should be like! Very nice and chill vibes, perfect match for Monteverde🤩

The hostel was convenient. It was kept very clean and they had a binder in which we could look at the different tours and activities available. The owner was helpful with booking my shuttle for my next destination. The only things I would say is that there are no curtains on the dorm beds and that the "included breakfast" is composed of eggs, cereal and bananas that you have to prepare yourself.

I had a great stay at this hostel. The location is excellent and everything is easy to reach. What really makes this place special is the host. He is incredibly friendly, helpful, and always takes the time to give very detailed and accurate information, no matter how small the question is. The atmosphere is also amazing. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted warmly by both the staff and other backpackers, which makes you feel welcome right away. I can highly recommend this hostel
