Such a nice Homely feel to this hostal. The wood is really nice. The kitchen is great and th free breakfast is really great value. It's a nice change to wear pants and a sweatshirt and the blankets they provide and really comfy. The guy at the front desk was AMAZING he helped us organise our da activities for the next day 5 mins before the dead line (9pm) but went above and beyond and everything worked out perfectly. He was amazing! The hostel has a great location to a supermarket and lots of food options

It is a nice place, well situated. A very clean and complete kitchen. The only drawback seems to be that this place is not at all silent. Every evening we were here, there was a lot of noise in both the common and sitting area. There are no secluded areas where you can work or read a book

This is a perfect hostel to enjoy Monteverde. It is in a centrally located area adjacent to downtown and near everything! Alonso is able to arrange for any tours in the area you might want to take advantage of. You absolutely cannot deal with a more honest, helpful and friendly person than Alonso. What a wonderful place to stay!!!

very basic hostel with 4 person dorms for 13$. Breakfast is included. Beds are nice and comfortable. Every dorm has it's own bathroom with HOT showers!!! WiFi is mostly working. Can't go wrong with this one.

Such a great hostel. The hostel is clean and tidy. Dorms are everything you ask for. Everyone staying here is super friendly and always up for a chat. Staff are so helpful and welcoming. Definitely stay here if you're coming to Monteverde.

Room without window, mold spot 1m above my bunk bed, shower curtain is super dirty with tons of mold spots. Obviously room get smelly quickly. internet in my dorm room sucks. Staff is helpful. Breakfast at 8 a.m empty good atmosphere at the evenings. Still unpleasant experience and changed hostel, because I got light headaches every morning.

My room was dark and pretty crowded, and there wasn't hot water the first night I arrived, but Emel and Alonzo at the front desk are extremely friendly and helpful! They arranged multiple activities/tours for my group of 5. The central location makes everywhere in Monteverde within walkable distance, and the main town is just 100m away. Would recommend!

Good facility but very bad hostel manager

I think this hostel have good facility. Just good, not best.
But I got so terrible experience at this hostel. What happen? Usually I don't book any tour at hostel. Because I wanna book at more professional travel agency. They have good information and good price. Yeah, I tried at monteverde, too.
And I can get good price and specifically explaining from one of travel agency. Night walk, 2 zip-lining tour, hanging bridge and so on. Paid already. Maybe i got discount 10-15$.

At the night, I waited collectivo which picked up to night tour in hostel's lobby. At this time, hostel manager asked to me. "Where are you going now?" So I answered, "Go to Nightwalk." And he said "why you don't book here?" I felt so aghast, why he asked me about that? But I answer with honesty. "I think Another agency is more cheap. Just it." I didn't realize that my answer will bring terrible thing.
When I came back to hostel, hostel manager come to me, he said "you have to pay full-charge to zip-lining company at tomorrow morning. Because you got a discounting." ??? What? I really don't understand that. So I asked to him."why? What's the problem?" And he said, "here, monteverde, we have standard price. No discount. So you have to pay full-charge, and you'll get refund at travel agency."
Oh my god. What the hell. I asked him "costa rica is democracy country. Right? It's like a consulting price. Any travel agency no competition? Is it true?" He said "yes. This is rules of monteverde."
Wow.. yeah, I couldn't believe that. And I think about that 'how does zip-lining company know that I got a discount?'
The answer is 'This hostel called to company for interrupting my trip.'
I asked him. "Did you call to company?" But he said No.
I think it is lie. So i get out from this talking and go to my room. Surprisingly my roommate said to me "I saw that he called to company in spanish. Maybe he want to interrupt your trip. It's too bad."
Hahaha I think so. After day, I tried to enter zip-lining. Of course, they asked me, 'Do you pay to full charge?" I answered. 'Yes, I got discount just for Night-tour at yesterday. What happen?' 'Your hostel manager called to me at last night. Maybe he felt very upset. So if you got discount, plz keep your secret.'
Yeah, I prove that hostel manager is too greedy and bad.

I know and understand that hostel manager felt jealous. But that's it. I think hostel is hostel, agency is agency. Do you agree that? But this hostel couldn't think about that. They want just getting more little bit money.
I feel really upset until leaving monteverde. It is not fair. Why interrupt to consumers. It is too bad. Pura vida? No. If you book at another place and you tell to hostel manager, you can get puta vida.

By the way, I think hostel's condition is good. I'm honesty. But you must don't book tour at this hostel. You cannot get any discount. Why? It is here's rule. If you get discount at this hostel, he prove he is lier. So. why you book tour at this hostel? Just go to other travel agency and get more cheaper price and more kindness explaining. If you got it, please keep(you must) your secret. It is best way for traveling monteverde. And it is our 'rules'.

Really liked this place. The four bed dorm room was indeed small but did have its own bathroom. You won't spend much time in the room because Monteverde is awesome! Emil (working the front desk) was great and had good suggestions.

Was positively surprised! Didn't like the photos that much but it's actually cozy inside and there's always people hanging out in the community area. Very social hostel with clean rooms and you can have a good night of sleep here :)
