    Could have had a kettle and cups in the room to make coffee/tea.

    The host went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and give us a true Costa Rican experience. Enjoyed the breakfast. Thank you Flory and your family. The location was great with lots of eatery and supermarket nearby. The Puntaranus Cathedral was right across the road and we enjoyed hearing mass and sound of church bell ringing.

    As so many other cabinas and local accommodations, the building was mildly dilapidated, chipped floor tiles, peeling plaster stucco. Surprisingly expensive for such a humble place.

    Excellent breakfast. Nice staff. Adequate room, very comfortable bed. Not too far off the beaten path. Close to the city center. Free WiFi. Air conditioning.

    Location - walkable to Faro & seaside walkway Parking - secure, gated Breakfast - very good Service - friendly staff Fridge in room was useful Air conditioning

    Parking was difficult in small area and breakfast was taken at a table one metre from the car. Not much English spoken but communication was adequate.

    Clean and tidy but no running water due to problems with town supply. Offered free cancellation but as a single night stop accepted the problem and given a discount. Short walk to south shore beach and restaurants.

    A bit over runned, facilities could use some improvement... but ok for what you pay, considering the average area prices

    The staff was friendly and the overall ambience was cozy, is a family business and felt like being in a 'mama's' house.. the breakfast was good! Location also, central and close to the beach boulevard.

    It is a bit old and rustic, we couldn't turn the hot water in the shower

    Very nice owner and delicious breakfast in the green patio. It's definitely a place for people who do not look for luxury but rather true experience with locals

    At first it smelled musty, but when the air conditioning was running it quickly got better; bathroom not really separated- shower cabin inside the room. Basically the facility could use a renovation. But everywhere in Costa Rica seems to be a bit run down. In general, the overnight prices in Costa Rica seem to me to be too high. Price and performance are never right.

    Friendly welcome with a smile, quiet, good mattress, warm shower air conditioning, fridge, breakfast is very good, clean

    The room is extremely humid and smelly and would require the constant use of AC. AC is very old and loud Bathroom is very rundown and build in the room with open roof, forget about your privacy on the toilet, shower door was broken. The garden is nothing to enjoy with the noise of the ACs all around, a pity because it looks nice. Overall overpriced.

    Flori is super friendly and helpful, location close to the bus is a plus, breakfast was simple but more than enough and complete. Bed is comfortable, everything rundown but clean.

    Terrible terrible experience! Room was characterised by the lack of light, very stuffy air, zero sound proofing, lack of hot water, loose pipes in the shower, dirty floors, ancient and loud AC…. The room looks like it had been a barn which was somehow converted into an accommodation facility (cannot classify it as a hotel by any standards)
