The host was impeccable. I was surprised she knew my name the day after check-in. We did not interact in between and this made me feel really welcome. She even helped us out when our shuttle was cancelled last minute by calling several companies. The provided coffee was lovely and the friday yoga looked good. The communal area felt like a beach house and the slight breeze just made it even better. There was plenty of space in the dorm and next to your bed to keep your things. Beds were comfortable. Lockers were provided (bring your lock) and could easily store a backpack you bring on the plane. If you get cold during the night be sure to grab an extra blanket. It can get cold in Monteverde during the night.

The couple Sady and Mario are so wonderful. You cannot have better people.host you. They are so sweet, very professional but warm. The place is small but you don't feel like it. I was there with my husband and 2 kids and they were fabulous. Sadly even took my boys to the park nearby for a walk. Breakfasts was great. The place is cute and quaint. Alot of value for your money staying here!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
