Nicht zu empfehlen

Kurzer Weg in die Stadt

Am ersten Abend saß an unserem Bett eine Kakerlake. Wir sagten der Gastgeberin bescheid. Daraufhin kam diese in unser Zimmer und sprühte Insektengift an den Rand des Bettes und empfahl uns, etwas zu lüften. Ein schlechter Scherz in dem Zimmer ohne Fenster. Danach stellte uns die Gastgeberin ein anderes Zimmer vor: Dieses habe eine Küche und darüber hinaus gebe es dort auch keine Kakerlaken! WOW! Und das nur für den doppelten Preis. Von dem Insektengift bekam ich in der Nacht starke Juckreize. Am Morgen fanden wir auf dem Boden eine tote Kakerlake vor. Am nächsten Morgen saß an der Wand unseres Bettes wieder eine Kakerlake. Auch ansonsten war das Zimmer sehr dunkel und sehr schlecht durchlüftet. Das Zimmer entspricht nicht den Fotos auf Booking.

Nice hostel with all the necessities, friendly staff, except AC.

Large room and bathroom perfect for our family of 5. Beds comfortable, towels comfortable, hot water in the shower. Owners very friendly and helpful. About a 10 minute walk into the center of town. Parking on premises. Sweet dogs. Refrigerator, rice cooker and cooking utensils provided.

Puerto Viejo is very hot and with no AC in the hotel sleeping is uncomfortable. There are numerous fans which did help a little.

Ok for a quick overnight.

Staff was nice and overall the place was clean.

A majority of the guests there during our stay were working in town. They were all nice but it made for a less tranquil environment. Lots of loud talking in the communal area, video chats and and such till later on at night. Place didn't feel calm and didn't make us want to relax at the property.

Cecilia was an amazing host and went out of her way to help us with anything we needed and didn't know we needed!! Was close to a beautiful beach just a 5 min walk outside of town. Would definitely recommend to others.

Nice hostal and great hosts close to center

Very nice and welcoming hosts. Always asking if everything is fine. Provided fresh coffee and tea all day, which I appreciate a lot. Room was comfortable. I liked to have a small kitchenette in my room and also could use the gas stove outside. A short walk from the center,but easy to get around. You can also rent bicycles at the hostal.

I would have enjoyed a private terrace. Room was a little hot, but only at day and I had a lot of mosquitos, more than at other places.

great value for money

Really nice hostel, bed was comfy and have mozzie nets. multiple kitchens so they do not get too crowded. only 5 mins away from a much nice beach than the one in central puerto viejo

15 mins walk from town centre (however much closer to a nicer beach so worth it IMO!)

Nice hostel just outside of Puerto Viejo

The host let us check in early free of charge. There is free coffee in the mornings and there is a very relaxed atmosphere in the hostel.

Not the hostels fault, but other guests checking out early were being really loud outside our room at 7am.

It was OK but not the best

The owner helped us with our tickets to Nicaragua. Free coffee in the morning. Nice garden. Comfortable bed. The owner's cousin Tito is the best. He is really a nice person.

I found the place very expensive considered what it offers. The rooms were transparent of noise because of the windows on the top of the rooms. I mean it was really transparent. The owner asked %9 credit card commission, if we pay with credit card. He can ask for 9% more, but he must specify it on Booking (I might book with the other hotel). Location is not in the centre of Puerto Viejo (1.4 km away). He said don't smoke on the garden when the other guest is there (no problem), but they did barbecue in the garden and all the smoke and smell was in the room (I don't mind), but I find it a bit double standard. If they really care the guests, they shouldn't do barbecue in the garden, too (this Is my personal opinion). I made a last minute booking, but I believe you can stay better place with this price.

Very pleasant stay

Our room was excellent, big and we'll equiped with two fans. Bathroom big, and kitchen with fridge sink , some basic plates and cups, no cooking. The external kitchen at the back of the house is really cute , enough for two to cook. All staff was really friendly with us and the cleaning was the best!!! Big applause for the cleaning lady. Parking is a plus, but if you have a big car you may not be able to park inside. FREE WATER AND COFFEE/TEA INCLUDED!!

The rooms are very close to each other, and in the morning it can be a little bit noisy as people talk and walk around. But not a big issue at all. Kitchen is quite small one room per time to cook.

This little side street location is perfect for a short stay in Puerto Viejo. We were just a short walk to the center of town yet in a quiet area. Cecilia was extremely friendly and welcomed us even though we were late to arrive. The room was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for a short and comfortable stay. We had both a ceiling and floor fan as well as a mosquito net in the bedroom area. The room was shaded and quiet and came equipped with a small kitchenette. Definitely hard to beat for the price and close to town location.

Cecelia is an amazing host! She went out her way to help us. The room was really big and it was cleaned each day. The bicycles are a good idea, we hired them each day to get to the beaches and the nature reserve.

The bed was not the comfiest and because we stayed below other people, we could hear quite a lot e.g dogs running and the sweeping of the floor, but I’d still definitely stay again!

The stove gives electric shock when cooking!!! After some tries we didn’t use it

Nice hostel in Puerto Viejo

The location is in the center but at the same time also not in the middle, which was nice because it was no too loud in the evenings. The city center is easily reachable by walking. The property was clean and lookes like on the images. You can rent bikes for 5$ a day.
