“Wonderful place to stay. I could have stayed for several weeks. Truly amazing!!!! One of the best places to stay in Costa Rica 🇨🇷”

“The family were lovely. The rooms were clean. The kitchen was massive and clean. The gardens were stunning. Honestly couldn't fault anything. We were shocked by how nice it was and would recommend it to anyone staying near Rio Celeste.”

“Absolute immaculacy. This place is run by remarkable family that goes above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. In fact, it doesn’t feel like you’re staying in hotel/hostel rather like you’re being hosted by incredible people in their house. Dinorah & Wilfredo take care of everything around the place, they’re extremely kind, hospitable and their courtesy is beyond comprehension. Another great thing here is a breakfast! Delicious and lavish. Loved my stay there and would come back.”

“Perfect stay for backpacking. The host family is simply great.”

“This is hidden gem,family who runs this place is amazing and since you feel like part of this home,such a precious traveling experience,it's not really like your ordinary hostel it's more like staying with family in their house.Despite place being little bit put of the main touristy paths(even better no) there is plenty to do,famous Rio Celeste hike,check the Tapir valley tours,hot springs on Rio Negro reachable in hour and half as well, definitely recommend this place,i had wonderful time,thank you!!”

“The Rio Celeste Backpackers Hostel was a clean and comfortable stay! Denora and her daughter were incredible kind and helpful - they helped order a taxi to the park and assisted with the bus schedule.”

“I had a perfect stay! The woman that owes the house is adorable, she was super kind and gave me a lot of useful information. It was sparkling clean and very confy. She also prepared a delicious breakfast for me. Her daughter speaks perfect English and will help you if you want to book any tour. Plus the location is perfect, in the town of Bijagua close by the road to the National park. I strongly recommend!! 😁”

“Best stay during my time in Costa Rica. Super nice, clean and comfortable room. Delicious breakfast. Very sympathetic and helpful host family. Would come back again.”

“Everything is really great. Close to the centre the treatment from the family is amazing and very helpful with directrices to get places. Amazing place to stay. Go there is you planning to stay in that area. The views are stunning around.”

“The hostel has a nice garden with lots of birds, including tucans. The breakfast is very good. The host takes really good care of the hostel. Everything is clean and she even washed my clothes for free!”
