The bed sheets smelled odd - I just recommend ensuring they are fully dried before putting them on the bed. A fan would also be very much appreciated since there are no screens on the windows. Something is wrong with both shower heads. There is also no shower curtain, so water literally splashes all over the entire bathroom.

The hostel is huge, beautiful, and very well kept. All the common spaces and bathrooms are extremely clean. The location is so peaceful as well. Note it is not in the town, so you must take a taxi - I didn't mind this. I would definitely stay at this hostel again!

Beautiful gardens with many birds and butterflies to watch from the sunny or covered decks. Kitchen is big and well equipped. Modern bathrooms. Helpful for booking adventures. Excellent view of Volcano Turrialba! Staff is patient and kind♥️ Local bus stops in front of hostel for easy travel to large bus station or to San Jose/ Cartago. Taxi from center Turrialba is 2500 colones.

Might be incomvenient if you don’t have a car, cause it’s 3km from the City.

A cozy and chill place next to the river and the forest. The balcony is amazing, nice place to have your breakfast and start your day, with some hammocks. Shared bathroom and kitchen.

Aliitle too far to town to get supplies. The cab ride was 2,200 colones for the almost 2 kilometers. But road wasn't that safe to walk on, as the sidewalk wasn't continuous the whole way. Also my room was a flight of stairs away from the neatest bathrooms.

Great kitchen , clean and well equipped. The terrace provided an amazing close view to a couple of sloths,that appeared and delighted every morning!

We get no towels.

Hostel community. Room with private bathroom.

The room was quite damp and dark, it’s like being in a little cave. Should be better ventilated and lighter

It’s a beautiful building in the mountains. There is lovely view on nature with many birds and sloths.

It was a bit weird checking in as no one was there and we didn't actully see anyone untill the next day. I belive the owner was out of the country and she helped us best she could over watsapp

The rooms where comfortable and the facilities where good

To be picky: The kitchen could use more lights

The house is gorgeous Great spacious kitchen Awesome deck areas with sight of birds (Aracari, Golden-headed Tanagers, Brown jays etc.) Clean areas

Stayed in January 2025

The kitchen need a bit more cutlery for the number of people staying and the blankets smelled quite musty.

Good value for money and the private room had a good bathroom with nice hot showers. Lots of space on the balcony to hang out.

The room was smelly

The house is nice

Stayed in December 2024

I don't know if it's like this in all rooms, but mine had a strong smell of mold, even though a window was open all the time. The smell was so strong that I felt it after waking up when normally people get used to the smell by sitting in the room. Noise from the street was a bit annoying as the road is very busy. If you don't have own transport get in mind that the hostel is 3 km uphill from the bus station and taxi costs $5.

I liked the most a balcony/terrace which is huge and you can almost (as you hear cars passing by all the time) in the middle of the forest. The owner was very friendly and it was very clean. Shared toilets are really nice - big and clean.

Not very close to center (but you are in a very nice, green environment), Do not sell stuff so bring your own supplies

Very nice terrace with great view. Big kitchen and living room. Lots of comfy places to chill out.

Stayed in February 2023

Kitchen area was not clean. Outside of fridge was dirty. Food and grime in counter. Lacking in kitchen equipment. On a very busy road and a long way from stores or shops.

Backyard area was beautiful with lots of trees and birds. Bathrooms had been recently renovated and were clean and comfortable to use. Outside sitting area with table, chairs and hammocks was lovely as well.

Stayed in March 2023

As mentioned by the hostel no super markets in walking distance. The rooms have quite thin walls but as people are aware everybody keeps quiet during sleeping hours.

Very nice terrace with hammocks and large common space to chill. Very friendly staff who organized the pacuare river tour for us upon request before we arrived.
