Lovely hosts, welcoming spaces inside and out. 50 meters from an inexpensive very good local restaurant. Hosts took time to share local information and directions. We travel with backpacks by bus and our hostess stopped by in her car as bus stopped to assure that communications went well with driver. (She cared for our welfare)

Nancy, United States of America

The house is so beautiful, the room was nicely furnished, and the owners are very friendly!

Martina, Canada

Clean. Friendly staff. The husband is an apprentice wildlife tour guide and shares his knowledge as well as giving a nighttime tour on the yard.

Thomas, United States of America

The owners took the time to show us around the yard at night to point out several red-eyed tree frogs! One of the wildlife highlights of our trip Very comfortable, enjoyed having access to a kitchen Great outdoor space Wonderful hosts

Gillian, United States of America

we very much enjoyed our stay in the hostel! the staff is super nice and helped with all our needs, the owner even made calls around to check where sloths have been seen recently because we wanted to see them so badly, the hostel is very beautiful and super clean and with a great atmosphere :)! thank you!

Karen, Switzerland

I loved how comfortable the hostel was and how welcoming Guatovo was. The gardens and hammocks were highlights as well as coffee with homemade bread in the mornings. It was beautiful and I absolutely loved staying there. Very clean.

Emma, United States of America

Beautiful property maintained by the owner, Gustavo. He's super friendly and helpful. He has a great attitude on life.

Stephen, United States of America

Staff was very helpful, location was very safe, conveniently located to Rio Celeste

Emily, United States of America

Kevin was an excellent host we felt at home from the moment we arrived. He was very helpful giving us directions to tenerio, places to eat in the town and organized a night hike for us on our second night. There's even a sloth that lives in the backyard which is awesome!! I would highly recommend this as a place to stay in bijagua, if you don't have s car I believe Kevin will arrange for transportation to the park for you. Oh and the marmalade that's served with breakfast is one of the best I've ever had. Thanks again! Hope to be back!

Maxwell, United States of America

It felt like a real "home". Beautifully furnished house, fully equipped kitchen, nice garden with hammocks to relax in. The owners were so friendly and helpful, took time to chat with all guests. I highly recommend this place!
