The staff was very friendly. We were able to check in with the night security guard even though we got into town very late. The property is directly across the road from the beach and has a craft brewery on-site. It's very close to town, maybe a five-minute walk.

At first I was a little nervous when pulling up to La Villa, but my worries were very soon cast away. I highly recommend staying overnight

Stacey, Canada

Wonderful place, really friendly stuff and even a microbrewery on site!

Julian, Switzerland

Hostel located in front of playa negra, really close to city center. Super nice staff. Rooms are small, but beds are comfortable. We booked room with shared bathroom but at the end we get room with our (for the same price). Hostel is really nice a bit boho. Big advantage is location. I would come back :)

Emilia, Spain

The property garden was really beautiful! The room we had was very spacious with a kitchen. I loved hearing the waves of the ocean throughout the night and in the morning.

Quiet. Away from the partying0:) a walk across the street from one of the nicest parts of the ocean. Great artwork. Delicious craft beer!

Nice hammock area to relax with sea views, bar downstairs. Beach just across the road.

Wunderschön, individuell gestaltete Zimmer. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Prima Lage, ein paar Minuten vom Zentrum von Puerto Viejo entfernt und trotzdem ruhig gelegen. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an der Strasse, die Zimmer sind aber nach hinten ausgerichtet, so dass die Strasse gar nicht stört. In einer Minute ist man am Strand.

Monica, Switzerland

It was across the road from a nice long beach. The restaurant looked inviting although we did not use it. The wood used on floors and beds and other areas was beautiful.

Small but clean room. Friendly staff and some good beers in the bar.

“Lovely beach”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Deluxe Apartment
- • Stayed 1 night
They had lost the key to the safe, the hot plate did not work, we had no hot water, our room was right over the pool table area and we could see down to the players via cracks between the boards, There were no curtains over most "windows" (which were just screening between the walls) which let in lots of light. Lots of stairs to walk up. The very noisy pool game did end any 9:30 and it as quiet after that. I don't know if quiet hours are enforced or we got lucky. It had more of the feel of a hostel for college kids which made the price pretty steep.
It was across the road from a nice long beach. The restaurant looked inviting although we did not use it. The wood used on floors and beds and other areas was beautiful.

We booked a double room with a shared bath but were given a room that had four single beds. When we mentioned this, the owner said that all of the "private" rooms were like that! It was frustrating to feel mislead by the photos on booking. No AC meant very hot nights, even with the provided fans. The shared bathrooms were a long walk up a flight of stairs (for the showers and one toilet option) or across and uncovered courtyard to the bar's bathroom.
The staff was very friendly. We were able to check in with the night security guard even though we got into town very late. The property is directly across the road from the beach and has a craft brewery on-site. It's very close to town, maybe a five-minute walk.

Staff is super friendly. Great beers. Right across from beautiful beaches. You can hear the surf while you sleep. Far enough outside of town that you're not swarmed all the time, but, close enough that you can walk it.

“Bedbugs”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
The place is very very dirty. Our first room was infested with bedbugs, they were everywere and clearly the room has had them for a very long time. In the middle of the night, the nightguard gave us another room, ofcourse we couldn't sleep and soon we found out there were bedbugs in this room too. We were then moved downstairs to one of the 'luxury' rooms. That was nice but still had a bad night. Next morning, we talked to the staff and the owner, they apologized and confirmed that the 2 rooms were being treated at that moment. We said we would be okay to stay for one more night but it the nicer room. They couldn't do that because it was too expensive.. You would think that if you let people sleep in a bed with at least 50 bedbugs that is the least you could do.. But allright, they gave us another room downstairs which was more expensive then the one we paid for. This room however was super smelly, the bathroom was gross, there were insects feces on the sheets, towels etc. The owner did give us a plate of tortilla's to apologize for the inconvenience. At the end of our stay we had to pay everything for the 2 nights. Would have expected at least not to pay for that first very bad night. Especially if you take into consideration that they threw my travel mosquito net out because it was covered in bedbugs.. That thing only is already 30 euro's... In conclusion, would never stay here again. Do hope though that they get rid of the bedbugs, clean the place toroughly because the building does have a nice vibe.
The staff was nice.

Water went off during our stay and we were given no information about this. Hostel is a little way out of town so may not be ideal for solo travellers. Some more information about the facilities available would have been helpful.
