+ Localisation parfaite Cuisine plutôt bien équipée

- Pas de clim dans les chambres alors les nuits sont très chaudes et le ventilateur au plafond ne suffit pas Pas d'eau chaude dans les douches Il manque de quoi pouvoir étendre ses vêtements mouillés, notamment dans les dortoirs

Sehr tolles Personal, sehr gemütlich, gute Küche. Es kann sein, dass Strom und Wasser mal für ein paar Stunden weg sind. Empfehle es trotzdem sehr !

Wow! This is my favorite hostel I’ve ever stayed at. I had my 6 bed room to myself nearly every night, it has air conditioning, and it’s super close to the beach. The hostel is so clean too! The ladies clean your room every day. Plus they coordinated my ferry ride back to sierpe for me. I miss this place already.

Nice, clean hostel conveniently located in Drake Bay town. The receptionist Alexandra was very friendly! The room and kitchen were clean. However, the dorm I stayed in (female) was unbearably hot. It was really hard to sleep. There was just one tiny ceiling fan. I had to change the room after one night. Apparently some of the mixed dorms have A/C - this is not visible in the room description on hostelworld.

+ Ale es genial, una chica súper amable, la cocina es espaciosa y suele estar bastante limpia. El espacio común también es cómodo aunque igual falta alguna hamaca más. Las habitaciones estaban muy limpias con ducha para cada habitación compartida y limpiaban todos los días.Hay opción a toallas con un depósito de 5$ que te devuelven al salir lo q estás muy bien.Una experiencia genial! Repetiría sin duda :)

The hostel has a great location, very close to the beach, where all the tours start and there are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. There is a common area, where you can hang out, the hammocks are a lot in the sun and kind of woren out though. There are a lot of Mosquitoes in Drake Bay, even in dry season, we had a lot in our room, a mosquito net would have been nice. They offer a kitchen with basic equipment that can be used. Rooms are made daily with a fresh towel every day :)

+ Goede sfeer, heel gezellig en fijn dat je gebruik kon maken van de algemene keuken. Vriendelijk personeel en een goede, centrale locatie (naar het strand en restaurantjes er omheen).

- We hadden de budget 3-persoonskamer en dat was erg benauwd (die zat ergens in een hoekje van de accommodatie). Hoewel er een ventilator aanwezig was kon het er maar niet afkoelen. Best nog wel luidruchtig verkeer wat er langs kwam.

+ New place. Comfy beds good kitchen and English spoken. Clean bathroom central location for food . Not beach front but a short walk to beach down steep hill.

- Nothing. But expensive?? The sign outside is small and different titles above entrance.

+ Le personnel top, merci Alexandra !! :) Position centrale, proche de tout commerce et très bons restaurants Environnement très mignon Chambre refaite tous les jours, un vrai + !

- Prévoir du cash suffisant un amont, parfois il y a des coupures d'électricité dans la région et on ne peut pas payer en carte. Rien de grave, cela fait du voyage mais c'est bon à savoir 😉

+ Grote ruime keuken. Genoeg douches

- Onze kamer (private room) had geen airco, alleen een waaier. De gedeelde kamers wel. Dat was soms wel fijn geweest.

+ The most amazing thing was that the girl at reception came to the beach with an umbrella and picked me up at the boat. The place is about 10 min up the hill. There is a great kitchen sufficiently equipped. I had a single room which was functional yet clearly on the small side. I also booked my tour to the Corcovado park with the reception and everything worked out great.

+ The woman at reception is incredibly sweet and helpful. She booked a boat back for me and kept my bag overnight in the office. She has a future in a 4 star hostel facility :-).

- The kitchen and open dining area could do with a couple of fans. More fans in dorms.
