Reviews of Flutterby House Hostel

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.

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

Great - chilled out hostel with a lovely friendly vibe. Great food on offer too from their onsite restaurant. Fabulous location near one of the entrances to the national park.

This is the place to be it you want to stay where the party is at. However quiet time starts at 22:00 so you’ll be sure to get enough sleep. This hostel is located super close to the entrance of the Uvita Beach (national park) which is breathtaking and home to many of the animals you hope to spot during a holiday in Costa Rica. Regarding the accomodation itself, our cabin is due renovation and although many reviews mention the well equiped kitchen, we did not feel comfortable to make use of it. Good pressure in the shower 👍

Great location, the closest beach was only 5 mins away. The place looks exactly as in the pictures. There were plenty of trees with shade, attracting some wildlife as well. The chilling area was also very nice with the hammocks, plus there were many things to do such as a pool table, darts, ping pong, foosball etc. The three-person house we stayed in was also very nice ,especially the small porch with a hammock and a chair.

This hostel would have been a 9/10 if it wasn`t for the music. The bar is very close to the living quarters, and there is music constantly playing from 7 am until 10 pm. It`s usually not very loud, but it still makes it difficult to just turn off and enjoy being in nature. One of the evenings, they hosted a karaoke night, which was very loud and annoying as you could hear it even across the whole street. On another afternoon/evening they had a big party with a DJ where the music was blasting, and you could absolutely not escape it in any way. Many of the guests (including us) complained about the music but the staff was not very nice, they just told us the party was happening and that`s it. We ended up leaving a day early (something I`ve never done before) because of this, and some other guests did, too. Luckily, they had no problem returning the price for that evening so we could look for another place. It`s a shame because it could have been the perfect place, but there were no indications that there would be music all day long and parties at night on camp.

Very relaxed and quiet location. Great kitchen facilities.

Showers are simply an open pipe and quite a distance from some of the rooms. Wifi is inconsistent anywhere away from the main reception and bar. Biting flies / mosquitoes are plentiful around the property

Morning yoga, basic gym setup, great location, nice to have food & drink options onsite, safe onsite parking

Kinda noisy at night if you're just after proper chill and disconnect. No surfboard hire available

Good position, good vibes, fantastic breakfasts, great stuff!

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

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.

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

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

Everything was perfect

Bar zone, good music, many people partying

Bad pool table, not smokable in hostel yard, someone stole all my food from the fridge.

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

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.
