The staff was really friendly, but at we did not got sheets for our beds at check in. (they have some, ask for) But they ask every day, if we are interested in one the daily tours.

Had a reservation here for two beds in the female dorm. Got to the hostel around 3 in the afternoon and the owner shrugged and shook his shoulders and told us he didnt have a reservation for us and he was full.

Absolutely the best part of our Costa Rica trip. We'd travelled all round for a month and this place nicely rounded it off. Such cool guys running the hostel, again it is a hostel so if you want 5* treatment then stay in a hotel. For cheap simple living, which in that climate is all anyone really needs then this... More
