Stayed two nights at this hostel, and Jose made us feel at home! He was helpful and welcoming. The room was clean, the hostel cosy and comfortable, with awesome artwork, super location near the river. Jose even helped us find a ride to San Jose when we left, super appreciated.

Jose the owner is super helpful and friendly!! The place a truly paradise, if you are looking for Chirripo national park this is your option! It's a small hostel but not as crowd as the the typical ones cuz not many people can visit chirripo at the same time. Before starting the hike up to the peak there are couple of supermarkets and a little soda ! Really good meals Otherwise you can cook at Casa Chirripo! The price for a private room was ok ! The place you need to spend the night before the challenge

This lovely hostel is located on the main road in San Gerardo. If you plan to hike Cerro Chirripo, this might be a good place for you. The SINAC ranger station (where you have to check in to climb the mountain) is across from the hostel. This hostel is about one mile away from the actual start of the hike. Hosel Casa Chirripo features a terrace, views of the mountains and the river. They offer free coffee but do not offer a breakfast option. The kitchen is open 7am-7pm and is fully stocked with cookware. We stayed in a private room with a shared bathroom. The room was simple but comfortable. There is no A/C and was not needed as the temperature drops slightly at night. The shared bathroom had hot water.1 Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. It may not be the best place to stay for hiking Chirripo, but it certainly met our needs.…

Coming to San Gerardo and staying at Hostel Casa Chirripo was one of the best decisions we made in Costa Rica! If you thinking about visiting this beautiful part of Costa Rica, DO IT! And stay at Casa Chirripo. The hostel is Perfect for travelers, decorated in souveneirs from the hostel owners travellers, the place very quickly feels like home! It is In a wonderful location, surrounded by fruit trees and a picturesque river, it's sound lulling you to sleep at night! The hostel is very well equipped with everything you need to cook and clean, and it is close to the hot springs, cloud forrest and Chirripo mountain. Jose and Carlos are fabulous hosts, they are so friendly and inviting, and very generous in sharing their knowledge, experience, stories and advice about exploring the area, wider Costa Rica and Central America! We now have a list of places to add to our 'bucket list'. We really loved hanging out in the kitchen with Jose teaching us Spanish and how to cook Yuca, watching the Emerald toucans and hummingbirds in the garden, walking down to the river behind the hostel picking fresh fruit straight from the tree, and being invited to join in Jose's birthday festivities (we will always remember Carlos's creamed rice! Mmmm!). We would recommend this hostel to anyone visiting this San Gerardo, and we hope we can return one day! Thanks Jose, Carlos, Puca and Luna, we will always remember you and we wish you safe and happy travels for many years to come Xxx …
