The layout is great with a fun pool and hangout area near the bar and hammocks and benches all over the property to relax. Not very crowded in the off season so we almost had the place to ourselves. Bartender and breakfast staff are so friendly and the food is yummy! Rooms are no-frills but it's a great value so it works. Great location (once you find it) to walk through the town of La Fortuna. Bakery down the street is phenomenal! Poshpacker offers a list of tours you can arrange through them and we loved the safari boat tour.

Excellent value for money. Great location. Close to a supermarket, which was good to utilise the kitchen. Esteban was very friendly, helpful and responsive. He organised a shuttle to Monteverde for us that was cheaper than anywhere else we could find. I even got an invite to go and play Soccer with his local friends.
We loved everything about this hotel. In particular I liked that it was all pedestrianised so the kids could wander about safely. It was great to have hot springs and a pool onsite, plus plenty of wildlife including a sloth mum and baby, lizards and loads of birds. The location was really convenient and we could easily order Ubers to transport us around La Fortuna cheaply. The view of the volcano from our porch was spectacular.
Great location, very safe and quiet, Yoga corner, free tea and coffee in the morning, the owner is just a super nice person and helped me with every little question / concern! Will come again!
Great staff. Lovely rooftop deck and lower deck with chairs and hammocks to relax. We never felt unsafe. The location was good, just a few minute walk from all the action, it was nice to be in a little quieter spot to sleep. Lots of Hostel-run excursions for reasonable prices. Good value.
Great location. Typical backpackers type of stay. Very basic but meets needs. Lovely communal areas Staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable, special mention to Jenni - excellent member of staff.
The best hostel I have stayed in Costa Rica so far! Owners were so friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and I felt so safe there. I’ll definitely be back and I would 100% recommend that to everyone who needs a place to stay close to the airport.
The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
