The staff was very nice and friendly. the place is beautiful and really well situated. The only problem I had was an old matress, it was caved in the middle. Otherwise, I loved the place. ##### Roxanne Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea 16 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### good value This is a good home base if you are looking to hang out in Santa Elena for a few days. It's a nice hostel with private rooms. I wouldn't suggest sharing 1 bed, they were very soft. I'd upgrade to the bigger rooms with two beds. The walls are a bit thin, but that's very typical with all the places around there. If you want more, you need to pony up more money. Great location that is central to downtown Santa Elena. Overall, I'd return. Oh, and they have lots of monkeys and coati. ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 2 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mixed The location is great if you don't have a car. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is simple but adequate. Night security effective! Our major complaint was the state of our bathroom, old and worn with not enough hot water to take a decent shower. I don't mind simple but hot water is a necessity. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Not enough hot water.

Las piezas son pequeñas, pero muy acogedoras. Los recepcionistas muy amables, nos ayudaron con mucha información para tomar tours en Monteverde. Es muy cómodo para una pareja aventurera que busca un Hostel a bajo costo. Además, si quieres ver animales es una buena opción, pizotes y monos te acompañarán... ##### Francisca Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rose, Haco Lodge 19 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities This property had no restaurant and no bar as the Expedia information stated.

Great 1 night stay. Better than most hotels and resorts at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommend! ##### Marc ### 8/10 Good #### Louise 9 Apr 2018 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Bra hostel med trevlig personal. Centralt och nära till både restauranger, bank och busstation. Frukostbuffén var bra och god. Lite lyhört mellan rummen. Vårt första rum luktade lite avgaser efter att en högtryckstvätt använts precis utanför fönstret. Men det var inga problem att byta, personalen var väldigt hjälpsam. ##### Louise ### 6/10 Okay #### Adriana 3 Apr 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Condiciones de la estancia El lugar se encontraba un poco descuidado (telarañas en el baño del cuarto) pero en general es bonito y agradable, los dormitorios muy pequeños y tengan cuidado al reservar, yo solicité 2 habitaciones y me dieron un cuarto con 4 camas muy incómodas ##### Adriana ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 15 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean room.

My only complaint is that the wifi was terrible and that is really a necessity these days. Also, the bar needed more people working at night. Felt bad making the one girl run around so much. ##### Dan Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina 7 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Like a home;)) Wir sind spontan eingekehrt und wollten früher als geplant weiterziehen.

Smallest hostel rooms I've ever been in! Rooms were clean but they pack you in like sardines. Walls were so thin that we could hear everything through the walls, EVERYTHING!!! The main discouragement was the cold showers. It is far too cold that high up in the mountains to not have even luke warm water. I didn't get a proper shower my whole stay and nearly froze trying! ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nette Doppelzimmer Das gebuchte Doppelzimmer mit privatem Bad hat mir gut gefallen. Der Balkon mit Blick in den angrenzenden "Dschungel" und den Hängemattenbereich ist auch sehr schön. Ein großer Aufenthaltsbereich ist auch vorhanden und ein alter Tischkicker. Die Angestellten sind freundlich, gut informiert und haben uns stets weiter geholfen. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 22 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Calme et bien situé Auberge de jeunesse agréable bien que très simple.

Landscape was beautiful, loved the local monkeys who visited, found our room to be more than sufficient, outdoors there were hammocks and even some workout equipment. Liked that they had a kitchen with facilities that could be used to cook, store food, etc. if you didn't want to eat out. Very happy with the accommodations and would definitely stay here again. Also loved the little town of Santa Elena and being able to walk from the resort to the stores, restaurants, and shuttle services. ##### Pat ### 8/10 Good #### Julia, Montréal 1 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort La cour intérieure avec hamacs et illuminée la nuit est génial pour la détente. ##### Julia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick, Valley, Alabama 29 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly staff and close to town.
