This place had a nice bar area and a friendly owner, but unfortunately thats the best I can say for it. The rooms have a few too many bugs (especially cockroaches) for my liking, and there was damp in the ceiling above one of the beds in my dorm. You can get much better for your money in my opinion!

My family and I stayed here for 4 days. We loved every minute of it. The staff were terrific, the atmosphere wonderful and the other hosteliers friendly and conversant. We will return as soon as we can and hopefully stay much longer.

This was the best hostel experience I've ever had! It was cheap, comfy, and most of all friendly. Jacques really made our trip a lot easier, even arranging travel all around the country! I can't wait to visit again!

I really appreciated this place. The staff are very nice and cool! (Peace Mumbi, Sandros, Jacques(the owner), Patricia and all the rest rest of the team!) They have a cheap price for a nice room, and it's near the most chillin' club I have ever gone to (a good place if you want to learn to dance salsa with beautiful ladies).

Cool place, great for meeting travelers, big commune kitchen and cute living room. Helpful staff, don't miss the exciting Sky Trek canopy tour. We used their taxi / boat shortcut to the Arenal Volcano ($21 pp). The views on lake were simply fantastic. Bring a poncho in case of mist or rain in the majestic Monteverde Cloud Forest.
