The staff was amazing, the place was super clean, and the breakfast was just the cherry on top!

The breakfast was really good. Lots of food, fresh and good quality. The hostel was quiet with only a few rooms and older travelers. It was exceptionally clean.

My bed was very uncomfortable and the pillow was thick and hard (not unusual in CR). There was no where to put our belongings in our room so we had to rummage on the floor for 3 days. The lock on our room barely functioned.

very nice community area and great hosts, a public bus is available to get there

Our stay at Hostel Bouganvilla was by far the most pleasant stay in Costa Rica. The location is on a rise on the Northern outskirts of San Ramon. All the amenities of the city are easily available from this location. The Hostel itself is a beautiful large Hacienda with well planted grounds. The gardens show a wonderful collection of flowers and herbs. The Host: William Ramirez Zuinga and Hostess: Enar Maria Villalobos are helpful and considerate in every way. The Hostel is kept spotless and decorated with taste. Every amenity is made available. On arrival I found that I was missing a “sock” for my choreodor. By the next morning they had got me one! They are happy to accommodate our needs. Breakfast was served at our choice of time. Delicious fresh squeezed juice, a fresh fruit salad followed by a variation of rice-and-beans, eggs, toast, plantain. Of course their coffee is most delicious. The location is good for visiting Arenal, the hot springs, the lake, the volcano. Also good for the Cloud Forest, The Children's Eternal Rainforest. Great beaches like Playa Dona Anna are close. San Ramon has lots of good restaurants. At the end of the day it is so nice to retire to a peaceful retreat like Hostel Bouganvilla. As the Ticos say: “Tuanice”.

The breakfasts were great and varied. The owners were incredibly helpful and kind. I felt very at home and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a low cost place to stay.

Very friendly and helpful host. Very authentic experience, in a quiet area. We had a great typical Costa rican breakfast which was very tasty, with great coffee! Would definitely stay again. Off road parking in garage

The couple that runs it is really caring and attend. Great and quite place. I recommend it 100%.

I picked somewhere close to SJO without being too close, I arrived and got my Covid Test in town. A couple of hours later I had the results as I was taking in the beautiful town square. I could have driven out of town for other sites, but the feel of downtown kept me there. In the afternoon, a nice relaxed afternoon in the spacious living area. The room was clean and functional. Shared bathroom clean. For the price I got a deal. Breakfast was awesome and the beans and rice were perhaps the best I ever had. (I've been to CR 10+ times).

Sorry for the price, and complaint would seem petty.
