My friend and I didn't actually stay here due to our flight being cancelled at the very last minute! However I wanted to write a review anyway to say the hosts were just exceptional the whole way through our crisis- when our flight was delayed until 1am they said they'd put us in a private room so we didn't wake up others, and they would wake up around 2am to let us into the hostel regardless. Then when we told her the flight could no longer get to Costa Rica, she was so understanding & very kind & lovely. I'm sure the place was beautiful, but I would recommend this for the safety, kindness, empathy & care of the hosts alone. They really were genuinely good people and we were so grateful to them when we were in a really stressful situation.
