Finding this place was like hitting a jackpot. As a nature lover I was impressed by the location of the hostel. It's in the middle of the forrest but still very close to the town of Montezuma (maybe 100m). Abbie the owner and her boyfriend Yonni were really friendly and helpful so was the rest of the staff. I slept... More

Great value for money especially with breakfast included, all the staff were very welcoming and enjoyed speaking with backpackers. Nice hostel with a good location. Small rooms and cold shower and a lot of bugs, and even saw a rat in my room one night which was horrible!

I stayed here in January with my boyfriend for 5 nights and it was the highlight of our trip! We woke up the first morning to howler monkeys banging on the roofs and climbing in the trees just outside of the balcony... While the dorms were small, we experienced just about all Costa Rica has to offer staying here... Friendly... More

I stayed here earlier this month with three friends and had a really positive experience. The staff are all super helpful and Abby (the owner) went out of her way to make our stay extra enjoyable and even gave us a ride to where we needed to go at the end of our stay because she happened to be going...

We stayed here for three nights. We were in a dorm with six beds. The room was full the first night and then it was just the two of us for the remainder. It was spacious enough. They provided cubby holes, fans and lamps for each bed. The room had a balcony that you could sit on and listen to... More

Very nice place to stay! Good breakfast included in the price! Staff very helpful and nice setup on a hill right in the middle of nature and yet only a 5 minutes walk from the beach! Would definitely go back!

I'll make this simple: PROS: great breakfast and coffee in the morning, staff happy to help book tours or recommend things to do, surrounded by great wildlife, clean bathrooms CONS: tiny tiny TINY dorm rooms -- could not believe they expected 4 people to fit in there comfortably with their backpacks. huge tears in the screen mean not only bugs...

We stayed in one of the private cabinas for 3 days. The biggest plus of staying here was the monkeys. I would stay here again just for that experience. Staying here is a very unique experience and you should know what you are getting in here. The people are very sweet, but the other reviews about staff smoking weed etc... More
