    Loved the treehouse experience!

    Just double check what you are supposed to be paying on arrival, as they almost overcharged us.

    Staying in the treehouse was a lovely experience, especially with the on balcony kitchen and dining facilities. Recommend! Communal area is fun with ping pong and pool - generally cool place.

    Beautiful and authentic hostel, we slept in the tree house which was surprisingly comfortable. Typical hostel vibe, especially in the evening. Would stay here again.

    The vibe is great, the staff is super nice and accommodating, they let me store my luggage as I arrived before the check in time. Fantastic location, there is beach access where you don’t have to pay, just ask there. The best thing is that you’ll wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys and birds. I would stay at Flutterby’a again!

    The mosquito net had some holes, so we got bitten quite a bit. Also, there was some slightly unpleasant smell in the room.

    The location was superb, very close to the beach and easily walkable. We also head breakfast included, which was great. It also has a restaurant with good options for lunch and dinner, bar is alive every evening but it is not too loud in case you want to got to sleep early.

    The dead leaves were cluttering the property and made it feel disorderly.

    Food was okay but was also walking distance to good food places. Really nice to have a tree house to myself with a patio and hammock. I appreciated the privacy. The exposed room gave way to jungle sounds which gave me the best sleep. Walking distance to the beech was dreamy.

    Everything was perfect

    This was the best hostel i stayed in Costarica. It has a proper surf Caribbean vibe. The bar, the restaurant is amazing anyone can come and eat or drink. Not like some other hostel you not even allowed to be in courtyard to wait for someone. The hostel is 2 minutes from the beach. Unfortunately quite far from the actual town but it didn't matter to me at all. The food was amazing and the cocktails were delicious. Friendly staff. As these are tree house the toilet and showers are outside so have a torch to go down the stairs. Beds have mosquito Nets and if not you can ask for one. I recommend this hostel 10/10

    The bed was terrible, it felt like it would fall apart any second. I woke up every time my partner moved because the entire bed would shake. Only cold showers.

    Nice atmosphere and good restaurant. Breakfast was good. Our room was nice and quiet. Affordable rooms.

    The only downside is that there isn’t a supermarket nearby.

    This was one of the best stays I’ve had! I had my own cabin and slept so well. It was great that there was a mosquito net, as mosquitoes seem to love me, haha. The staff is super friendly, and the beach is close by.

    I got their "Family Room with Private Bathroom" which was a wood cabin situated in the middle of a garden with lush green vegetation. Very interesting. Prices were reasonable for Costa Rica.

    Everything in general is very expensive. There's local pricing and "gringo" pricing even at the bar and local shops and stalls, many backpackers we spoke to said the only way they can afford to experience Costa rica is by volunteering.

    Nice room with a great balcony with a table & chairs and a hammock. The fans in the room were great. Free coffee and (sometimes) juice was lovely in the morning. The accommodation is nice and close to the beach.

    I liked the hut I stayed in. The bed was comfortable, and I had enough space for my stuff.
