This place is pure awesomeness. The pool and the lounge area with the kitchen in particular are just fantastic. There is even a gym with glass walls on the top floor with another lounge area that has a good view on town. The guys running the place are doing a great job. Very likely the best hostel I've ever stayed at.

Javier

Walking distance to the beach, and many restaurants and a couple of super markets. Friendly staff always on site for any thing you need. Very beautiful atmosphere and environment.

This is an extraordinary place! I had such a fabulous stay. From expert yoga and surf instruction by Matea, Stéphanie (yoga) and Marcos (surf) to the thoughtful design of the property, Botella de Leche is a place I hope to visit many times. I also had the best massage of my life. The massage therapist, Sandra, is a complete genius. If you are interested in experiencing aerial yoga, testing your fitness through TRX, and swimming and relaxing near the pool - you can truly have it all! I also enjoyed cooking for myself in the well appointed kitchen and interacting with the friendly, helpful staff and owners. Botella de Leche took great care of me.

My daughter and I stayed 1 night and it exceeded my expectations. It was quite relaxing, the yoga was great, the facilities were clean and comfortable, The A/C and Wifi worked well. The location was in the heart of everything yet just far enough away to be peaceful. The staff were great and enforced an 11 pm curfew which was appreciated after a busy day in the sun and fun. really enjoyed the hammocks. Thank you Mannu!

There was an odd odor in the room that seemed to be partly smoke and partly mold. The sheets had hairs on them and didn't seem overly clean. There was no hot water in the shower.
Reasonable priced basic room close to the beach with cooking facilities available in the hostel. Exceptionally nice staff. Parking available. Hammocks outside the rooms and very cozy atmosphere.

It would be great if each bed in the DormRoom could have it own small reading light.
Most lovely & comfortable Hostel. Only Hostel in whole Costa Rica, where I have received a fresh towel. The cleaning-ladies are fantastic. Even the 8Bed-Dorm is super-clean every day. The owner does professionell customer-care & helps with every issue. Lovely pool. The Yoga classes are great too. Beach, Supermarket, Restaurants, ATM is in 5-10min. walking-distance. Highly recommended 😊

There was some loud partying during the day but to be expected at a hostel :)
The staff were exceptional. They said if we needed anything to let them know and they meant it. Our luggage was held for 3 hours after check out and we were welcomed to stay on the property until we could get into our next rental. One of the staff personally gave us a ride to our air BnB location and said if it didn’t work out for any reason to come back to the hostel.

Dark dingy rooms which felt unclean with shoddy beds..not for us really. Since we were there for just one night, can't comment on the social aspects and common areas etc. which may have been the saving grace for a place such as this.
We booked this place due to last-min changes for one night, basically just to sleep - as such, it was overpriced at like $100+. At that price, this place totally not worth it.

Leaving.
The best staff of any place I have been. There are bigger, busier party hostels in town. Botellas de Leche is only a short walk away from all the parties. Afterwards, the same short walk back offers an escape from the noise, when you have had enough, It is the kind of place that I'd like to keep secret, but too good to keep to one's self.

We wish it was cleaner! We saw (and killed) 2 cockroaches within 3 hours of hour stay.
Hospitality of the host (Fernando) was great! We asked about Turtle night watching last minute and he was able to hook us up with a guide last minute at a cheaper price.

The only thing was in the early mornings the yoga and other classes were near my room and people were calling out to each other without realizing that there were still people sleeping
Great helpful friendly staff. Very clean. Easy walk into town. Bank and supermarket close by. Very nice vibe with dance and yoga classes and other activities

The one thing was that the water in the shower was always cold.
I loved this place. Right from the beginning it felt like a home away from home. There is everything you need, a kitchen, yoga studio, pool, surfing and yoga classes, diving courses... One of the best hostels I ever stayed in. Thanks for everything, I really enjoyed my time!
