This hostel is lovely! Wifi is strong enough to work in the front and in the back in the secret garden. The showers are hot and the cylinder is a really unique place to stay. They help you arrange tours and in that way you can meet people. The pool is nice and gets sun. It is an easy walk into town with loads of restaurants and bars.

They are expanding so they dont have many cool areas to hang yet. The front area is mostly just picnic tables. There are pictures of hammocks but they arent onsite. I also stayed in the cylinders which were really cool but had no where to put your things. It is literally a complete circle. There is space under the bed but it is very hard to get to. Getting on and off the bed is a little tricky because the floor is on a curve. The word resort seems to be a stretch here since there are not really any amenities.

We stayed in a spacious private room with two double beds. It was clean and comfortable. We opened the windows wide when we were there during the day and used the quiet AC unit at night. The pool area was very inviting, and the hostel is right next door to Bogarin Trails, a fabulous place to see sloths, birds, and other wildlife. The hostel is also within easy walking distance to Downtown La Fortuna with its many restaurants and appealing public square.

The hostel plays music from 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM in the public/pool/lobby area, and it also reaches all the rooms. It can be hard to read or sleep on a rainy day (of which there were several during our six night stay)

This hostel is a luxury hotel compared to most hostels. I highly recommend one of the cylinders, it was very comfortable and the AC worked great 😃. As an affordable option I would highly suggest this place! Shout out to Will (cook/reception) for a warm welcome and making us feel at home for a couple nights. Great place!

Only suggestion I would have is maybe offer a free or cheap way to do Laundry. When shoes and clothes get wet here during the wet season they are almost impossible to clean or especially dry without machines. Again though, this place was great 😃

Location was great, close to everything. I stayed in one of the cylinder rooms because it was such a unique accommodation, and I'm so glad I did! It was private and in the middle of a beautiful garden area. The air conditioning was ideal. I scheduled an all day tour with the staff that was amazing! The resort was pretty empty during my visit, the quiet was nice. Everything was fairly clean for a hostel.

There were a few things that could be improved for future guests. It would be nice to know that you can buzz the frint desk for gate entry (it stays locked). I didnt know about the buzzer until my last day since it was hidden by foliage. Many of the tours depart early in the morning, so its really hard to get breakfast due to the operating hours. It cut close, and if there had been more guests it might not have been realistic. The breakfast was great, the coffee not so much. If you stay in the cylinder rooms, just know that the bathrooms require a short trek in the middle of the night. Many of the toilet and shower lights did not work, it was trial and error.

The entrance with nice green plants, trees and colorful flowers immediately makes a good impression. Windows in the room that open straight onto the garden. The pool looks nice, you can really relax here. Staff is friendly and helpful. You can buy breakfast, dinner and drinks. It is possible to order excursions and get all the necessary information about the area and possibilities. The pool table is not the newest, but the billiards game helps to have a good time with your neighbors during an unexpected rainstorm.

Great concept with the barrel rooms, great pool and the hostel provides help with booking tours.

There could be more of a vibe like evening activities/events so that guests can mingle. We weren’t given enough info when booking a tour to mistico hanging bridges park that we would spend most our afternoon onboard a bus picking up people from various activities before we head to our activity, and we weren’t told the bus would bring us to the geothermal river so we didn’t have our swimming costumes with us. Finally the breakfast options were very limited, they ask you if you want to pay a discounted rate when you check in, on condition that you pay for breakfast for every morning you’re there, but then there was only half the menu available (no jam for the toast and jam option, no granola).

The location was good, the rooms were clean and you could have a hot shower which is not a given in most of Costa Rica. The staff were helpful in organising tours and transfers as needed. I had seen the hostel listed as a “party hostel” on some blogs but was pleasantly surprised at how calm it was. There was no music or noise after 11pm so sleep was not affected.

It would have been nice to have a communal cooking area to help save on money eating out all the time. You can buy breakfast and dinner for $7 a day, which is a little expensive but you did get a decent sized portion.

Enjoyed my stay here, really friendly staff and great value for money breakfast!

Did find it kind of annoying that it didn’t say anywhere besides in the rooms that the reception comes to put on the aircon at 10PM. It’s alright that they control it but it could at least be around 7pm given the heat, humidity and that you sometimes actually want to go to bed earlier than 10PM without having the reception entering the room.

The staff are amazing, super friendly, the bartender Alberto had my breakfast ready when I spoke to him about it the night before I checked out as he knew I had to be up early and out the next day. These guys are so helpful and it really helps make your trip as good as possible.

My only problem was in the private pods, there isn’t any space to hang clothes, so if it’s raining a lot (which it is here) then you can’t dry your clothes afterwards

Beautiful and central to everything in La Fortuna. Sleeping in cylinders were so cool and made for a highly unique experience! They also had parking which was super helpful in a secure parking lot. A nice pool, cafe bar, and a really nice and well maintained compound. Also had good wifi. Staff were friendly. Overall very unique stay.

Disgusting musty smell of all the sheets and towels which stunk up the entire room and almost made me throw up. Think if someone left all their laundry soggy and damp for days. This is a very easy fix to just properly wash and dry linens and otherwise was perfect
