    The location, building, staff and facilities are all brilliant in this hostel. It is right in the jungle and surrounded by nature, has a large kitchen perfect for guests to cook in with lots of equipment. Staff are friendly and helpful as well as knowledgeable about local area. Great value for money.

    I spent a week here and really enjoyed my stay. The staff was great - friendly and very helpful. Great vibe. Not a party hostel but a friendly open atmosphere to interact with others. Great placement in the rain forest. I was shocked by the lack of mosquitos though one's peaceful sleep may be interrupted on occasion by a vocal primate or amphibian. Good facilities such as the kitchen area and ample showers. Well managed and organized.

    it was a bit far to the coast and it was really hot and humid so some refreshing water would have been great. there is waterfall near by but its crowded and you need to pay to enter , the coast is also not free of charge

    the connection with the nature. its great place to chill

    Walkable from the bus station and the grocery store but far enough away from the highway that it is super quiet. The only noise at night are those of the jungle. Very clean and everything you need for a great stay. Staff are helpful and friendly. I would 100% stay here again

    My private room was great, and it was nice and quiet at night due to the curfew, which I appreciated. I loved walking to the waterfall nearby! The breakfasts were delicious, and all the common spaces were beautiful! Friendly staff, good location, and a fun place to stay. I would definitely stay here again!

    I wish I could have stayed longer…

    Such a magical spot - located perfectly close to town and in the middle of the jungle, with amazing views (jungle and ocean), one of the best hostel kitchens I’ve ever seen, free coffee 24 hours and a fantastic help desk to organize tours and basically your entire trip through Costa Rica - they had recommendations for everything. There is cute Upcycling art everywhere. And one of the first places ever where the description was matching with the place and I appreciated a lot that they don’t hide important information about the conditions of the house: It is open, bugs can enter but everything was totally fine! I didn’t get bitten once by mosquitoes or whatever. Very impressive!

    Place is surrounded by tree and animals. Very huge bamboo tree in front of the main structure is very energetic. My room was like a tree house, open, I enjoyed sleeping there. I also enjoyed doing yoga with others on top floor which is also open.

    Some of the volunteers were not very cheerful nor that helpful. They were all very young. For a solo female traveller past 50 it was not too easy to make friends there, but I am not shy so I managed to talk to other guest and develop some level of friendship.

    kitchen", "room", and "location", they were all expeptional. The place was like a giagantic tree house. I had no issues with insects as the mosquito nets were in great shape.
