Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a great stay at Happy Feet and a wonderful tour of Corcovado Sirena with Javier. All of our questions regarding catching the boat from Sierpe and things to do in Drake Bay were answered via WhatsApp before our trip. Cold A/C, good WiFi, friendly owners - couldn’t ask for a better home base to explore the OSA Peninsula

We really enjoyed our stay at Casita Happy Feet! The place has a comfy tropical common space area with full shared kitchen. It was very relaxing to hang out in the tastefully decorated open air patio, truly a little slice of heaven. The room was clean with AC. Javier and Vanessa were very hospitable! Javier is a top notch guide and took us on an overnight tour to Sirena, which is a MUST if you are visiting Corcovado! We saw so many animals including monkeys, peccaries, tapirs, sloths, an ant eater, a crocodile, a caiman,coatis, many birds and even a Fer De Lance eating a bull frog! Wow! Javier has been leading tours for over 30 years and is definitely the guide you want for any tours in the area! And his charming hotel is conveniently located in town and a great value. I’d definitely stay there again! If you are going to Corcovado and looking for an affordable and comfortable place to stay then I’d absolutely recommend Casita Happy Feet! And if you want to take any tours then Javier is the one to call! He’s the best!

Javier was a great host and guide! We stayed at the hotel for two nights and did an overnight tour in Corcovado. He knows a lot about the park and all the animals in it. Javier is very friendly and after the tour even helped my boyfriend to search for the right birds in his bird book.

Javier is just wonderful! So welcoming and sweet. We managed to book a few tours with him and it was amazing how knowledgeable he is and how much information he knows about this beautiful place and all of the wildlife from the tiniest ant to the biggest tapir! His passion for wildlife and nature is just so pure and beautiful, we felt at home with him so much. Vanessa also makes the tastiest breakfast and is very sweet! X

My family of four from the U.S. stayed with Javier at his Happy Feet guest house in July and then did a two-day tour with him privately in Corcovado. Javier was a generous host and a skilled guide on all fronts. The first night we were in Drake Bay, he went out birding with us in town and we logged somewhere between 20-30 birds (I can't remember all as my husband has the list), but they included a new variety of aracari we had never seen before. Javier upgraded us to a larger room/suite in the guest house and did not charge us anything extra for the space. His partner is extremely fastidious--the place, including the common kitchen, were extremely neat and clean. Breakfast was good. The grocery store was a very short couple minute walk down the road, which was great, so we had the option of making meals in. The common space was also quite nice. Overall the guest house and experience were pleasant and extremely affordable for what we were provided. The real highlight was visiting Corcovado with Javier. The first day we left soon after sunrise by boat. We had that entire day in the park. It rained heavily, but Javier never let up in his willingness to go out in the rain with us. He worked hard to get us to see all sorts of creatures. The list is too long to include here, but we saw tapir, spider monkey, koati, caiman, and many birds. We ran into other guides while there and felt very fortunate to be with Javier. He uses sound and even smell, in addition to his eyes, to track animals. The next day we were up early in the dark before breakfast for a morning walk. On this outing we were right beside a tapir on the beach--it was spectacular. And then again after breakfast, we were out on the trail. We loved sleeping in the dorm rooms with mosquito net covered bunks in the park. The food there was good too--they were willing to offer alternatives to my husband with celiacs disease. We felt very fortunate to have this experience with Javier. He is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and kind. We saw many larger groups of tourists walking around with less enthusiastic guides and felt fortunate to be with Javier. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

I had the worst experience staying in this place. The owner charged extra for a/c even though in booking conditions it was included. The place doesn’t worth the money. The service is poor. And it is not safe

This little BnB is Budget-friendly, cozy, very clean. I stayed with my two other friends in three beds room with a shared bathroom. The bathroom was always clean and very nice hot shower. The breakfast was also very nice, some toast or Costa Rican rice with eggs and fruits. Since we stayed more than week, we cooked our dinner in the kitchen and hang out in the hammock and chairs area. It was very peaceful and comfortable vacation. We mainly did diving but one day we went to the Parque Nacional Corcovado with his guide and it was also great!

Casita Happy Feet is a lovely b&b in Drake Bay. Our room was with a shared bathroom, but we didn't matter because the bath was always super clean. The breakfast was great and the wifi good. Javier is an amazing host, he organised everything for the best. We decided to snorkel in Cano Island and to do the overnight in Corcovado with Javier. He's a guide and we spent 2 unforgettable days in the park. We miss so much Costa Rica and Drake Bay, a real paradise on the earth.

Javier and his wife provide a lovely homely hostel that is competitively priced for Drake. We were made to feel very welcome. The breakfasts were great too. In addition, Javier is a guide so he his extremely knowledgeable about all the trips and which ones to go on during specific times of the year. For example, we wanted to do both snorkeling and whale watching but he advised us to do the snorkeling saying that we were likely to see whales and would save some money. We weren't disappointed and saw around 10 including a mother and calf.
