Was Gäste sagen

Im Costa Rica Backpackers loben Reisende die lebhafte, gesellige Atmosphäre und die zentrale Lage mit Pool und Gemeinschaftsbereichen. Die Erfahrungen bezüglich Sauberkeit, Zimmerkomfort und Duschen sind jedoch gemischt, wobei die Lärmbelästigung durch nahegelegene Züge und Verkehr auffällt.

Viele Gäste loben das freundliche, hilfsbereite Personal und die entspannte Atmosphäre, während andere unhöfliches oder aufmerksames Personal und Probleme beim Check-in berichten. Das gastronomische Angebot wird für Geschmack und Bequemlichkeit geschätzt, allerdings kann der Service langsam sein und zusätzliche Leistungen wie abgefülltes Wasser wirken überteuert. Einige Bewerter empfanden die Umgebung nachts als weniger sicher und viele stellten Verwirrung über gemeinsame versus private Badezimmer fest. Am besten geeignet für kurze, preisgünstige Aufenthalte mit Fokus auf Lage und Gemeinschaftsräume.

This was a wonderful, affordable stay! The courtyard was the perfect place to relax and recharge with plenty of comfortable hammocks. Staff was nice and helpful. Shuttle service was very convenient. The only downside was that there was a lot of street noise: honking, sirens, etc.

The hostel is fine apart from the fact that it is located next to a major train line and from about 4:30 a.m. all day you will regularly hear the train blowing it's horn and rumbling by. This is heard throughout the hostel but is much worse if you are assigned a room in the building at the back of the property. There isn't even an attempt to mitigate it, the dorm room window was not a proper window that you could close, so it sounded like you are sleeping outside next to the train line. The kitchen could do with another sink. There were lots of lineups to wash dishes and some people just gave up and dumped dirty dishes everywhere. Some small baskets to store food with labels on the baskets would help too, I got the feeling like a lot of the food in the fridges and shelves was from people who had already checked out.

Property online notes private bathroom for private room reserve option. No private bathroom is on site, You have to share toilets and showers with other guests. Cockroaches in Lobby. Bugs on private room floor. Area around dingy and possibly dangerous. I actually saw a female guest run to the property from a nearby main road. The guest has to be buzzed in and out. Tried to contact Expedia on the inaccurate online note that the private rooms offer private bathrooms but Expedia would only allow calls to their customer service Office and my cell phone would not work outside the United States. I would rate the property a step above being in Jail but not much more. Avoid the site unless all you have is $12 a day for a shared bedroom and that does not include any free breakfast.

Die Zimmer sind einfach ausgestattet, mit mehreren Berichten über dünne Wände, alte Betten und erhebliche Geräusche von der nahegelegenen Bahn oder Straße. Mehrere Gäste waren überrascht, Gemeinschaftsbäder statt privater vorzufinden, und das Warmwasser kann unzuverlässig sein.

We had the Twin Bedroom in the basement. It was big enough for two people, but a new Mattress would be nice. The price was good, what the hostel offers. So for a short stay for a few days to arrive to Costa Rica we can recommend it.

For the price the stay was accurate. The double room is advertised as a brighter room but it was dark. It was also misleading as under amenities listed bathroom, turns out it is a shared bathroom. The walls are paper thin and the sheet on the bed didn’t fit the bed and kept coming off in the night which made us feel a bit gross as the mattresses obviously don’t get washed. The staff/cleaners make a lot of noise talking in morning which woke us. And it is right next to the loud train but if you stay on a weekend like we did it doesn’t come too early. When we arrived really late after a long journey we were made to wait while two members of staff finished counting money which went on for a long time and was frustrating. The shares area is nice although the pool didn’t look too clean. Breakfast was good. Good french toast and smoothie. Overall wouldn’t stay here again and spend a little more for a nicer hostel.

First, I requested for hair dryer prior to my arrival and they answered that they don’t provide hair dryer but on their website it says they provide. When arrived, the private room has no private bathroom. In the description, it says private bathroom. All bathrooms are shared with others staying in the hostels and other private rooms. The staff are non professional acting. Especially Jesus who is not even smiling, using his phone all the time, non attentive to the guest, not smiling at all. What they say in their descriptions are not true. They also did not clean or refresh my waste basket in 8 nights of stay there. Worst stay I had in so many years I have been booking with your apps.

I’d say it’s an accurate price for what you get. The place itself is nice, but around 4.30AM there’s a lot of traffic starting making noise as well as the train. The two people in the reception when I was checking in was nice but was more interested in talking to each other. Bought breakfast which was alright. Appreciated the free coffee. They take 4 USD for 1 LITER of water, which is ridiculous. Buy it elsewhere if you have the possibility/time.

It was a great place to stay. Beautiful grounds with a pool. It was mostly quiet, a lot of young people looking like they were partying, but that is pretty much expected. There was a restaurant, plenty of seating inside and outside, I just had yougert, granola, and fruit, but still very good and a beautiful presentation. It was very relaxing hanging out at the pool after a long day white water rafting. I stayed in an all women dorm and a couple of the girls looked like they had moved in permanently with all their stuff all over the floor. I didn’t know that the shower didn’t have hot water so that was shockingly cold, apparently there is hot water in a different shower, why there wasn't a sign stating this in unbeknownst to me.
