We just did an overnight stay here but it would be a great spot to do multiple days with the kitchen and living space. Super clean and comfortable!

Located in Sámara, Casa Terra Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I loved this hostel ! It looks like a little house that you share with nice people. The staff is very sympathic, just like the other hosts. The kitchen is well equiped. The bedrooms are comfortable. The location is good : a little but far from the center (10-15min by foot) but so also far from the noise. I saw a lot of iguanas around the house. I also appreciated the decoration of the hostel, very hostful. In conclusion, I really loved this place, I totally recommand, and if I come back to Samara I'll come back here for sure ! :)

Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. A hidden gem! Such an amazing experience in the rainforest, the sounds of the rain on the roof all night was truly magical. We arrived in the evening (and hungry) and had a beautiful dinner cooked with so much care & love.

Situated in Liberia, Hostel Dodero has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is set 38 km from Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, 1.4 km from Edgardo Baltodano Stadium and 41 km from Marina Papagayo. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. First off, I did not get his name, but he was so helpful and so so kind when we checked in. He was working September 10th in the late afternoon if that helps. It was near everything! The bus station that is vital is 2 blocks away. The bank, grocery store Peli, Taco Bell and McDonald's is about 3 more blocks more. So if you don't have a vehicle it's walk able! The room was nice, bigger then expected, with a comfortable bed, with a fan, TV, and we had a window towards the front which was nice air flow, and the shared bathroom was so nice, very well ventilated and kept clean around the clock. We didn't have much time to hang out, but it definitely had a lot of nice sitting spaces to relax, do work, or read and chill.

Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

The hostel offers a barbecue. The dorm was pretty spacious and each bunk had lockers. The facilities are really nice and the staff it's very friendly. It was the perfect place to work since it's a small hostel with not many people so it's usually quite. One of the best hostel I've ever been! I had so much fun with Pavones (the cat) 🐈.
