If you sleep in the dubbleroom, the footstaps from the upstairs neighbours are loud and clear to hear.

Beautifull location to sleep. Waking up with animalsounds. The walk to the beach is about 10min. The soft beds sleep well. Amazing kind owner who speaks very good english. The house needs some work, so if you don't mind that your room is basic but functional, you'll have a great stay.

It is a bit further away from the village and the restaurants.

The people who have the place are super nice! It is literally inside the jungle. Short walk to the beach. Just next to the bus stop.

cool location, cool owners. this is rustic not fancy, but an authentic spot in costa rica

Stayed in April 2024

Almost a mile from town, a long walk if you have no vehicle. Breakfast was good, but not always available due to a shortage of help.

Great jungle setting. Will was very helpful, speaks English. Take shortcut to beach and follow beach into town, a beautiful walk. Bus stop is right across the street.

Could be too outdoors for some people, but we enjoyed it.

Magical place in the forest. I would love to see how are they going to improve it further.

receptionist wasn’t there when we checked in, but his cousin helped us out so all good (although we were given the wrong key) - nothing that couldn’t be fixed

it is a beautiful spot near Manzanillo national park. you feel very immersed in nature, hearing howler monkeys as you fall asleep (more peaceful than you may think). the staff are super friendly and the beds were extremely comfortable

An AC would be nice, fan seems not enough for a room with 4 persons.

Very kind host. Amazing garden, you can see many animals if you are lucky and if you look carefully. Nice safe parking, nice location.

Very friendly owner and unique accommodation in beautiful Manzanillo

Will was super friendly and easy-going. While we were enjoying his home-made breakfast we got a visit by monkeys. It was magical! Thanks Will and hope to be back one day!

No towels No hot water

The staff were so caring and accomodating. The rooms/beds were comfortable

Stayed in January 2023

We were there for only a very short time, but there appeared to be a shortage of kitchen and self catering facilities.

The owner was super nice and super helpful - we arrived around 8pm, he offered to give us a free lift to the town to get dinner and pick us up. The room was nice, and very clean even though it was a jungle lodge themed place. We were given towels for our stay. It was close to Manzanillo walking distance and fairly accessible from Puerto Viejo main town.

Stayed in January 2023

Only cold water shower

The host was very friendly and hospitable. Our room was very nice. The high ceilings and the openair bathroom were beautiful. It's around 1.5 km away from Manzanillo but the street is easily walkable, also during the night. Make sure you bring a flash light!

Location was fabulous. So good we decided to stay extra nights

Stayed in January 2023

All

Nothing; abandoned property, 0 security, toilet outside room with no shelter over it, wall papers between rooms, Swiss cheese inside room with holes to outside, noises from neighbor room (funny nobody was there so probably was the “strange concierge”). Avoid it!

Surrounded by trees, but this meant little natural light reached the room. The inside and outside seating areas were gloomy and dank with a strong, musty smell. Whilst we have little experience of the challenges of keeping up a property in these humid conditions, it compared highly unfavourably with other places we stayed. We don't doubt the property was clean, but the smell was really unpleasant and we did not enjoy the stay. The bathroom windows had no mosquito nets and the host had to use tools to shut the open window for us. We had struggled to find affordable accommodation in the area and perhaps this was priced according to the state of the room, but had we known, it's not a compromise we would have chosen.

There was a basic kitchen. You sensed this has been a passion project, but it seemed that it was no longer being invested in.

Stayed in December 2024

Curtains don't block out much light, and the light on the stairs came straight into our room.

When I first got here I was a bit skeptical, but the longer I stayed the more I enjoyed it. The owners were away to begin with, but we meet them on our last day and they are lovely. The location a little bit out, but they have bikes you can use which was fantastic. So glad we stayed here rather than Puerto Veijo.

Mosquito net in the bathroom would be good!! And some more kitchen stuff!

The location is great! And super friendly! I would say: this could be a perfect place if it would be taken care of a little bit more! It was not dirty, but also not really clean… it would need a little investment to make it better! On the other hand: that might be European expectations… as overall we enjoyed our stay! As said: perfect location and the studio gave us the freedom to cook! Open bathroom… what should we ask for more?

Stayed in March 2023

No hot water for a shower, the bathroom sink had no water, and although I was never upset about any of it the owner was mad at me because I told him the water wasn’t working. I asked for a another room that perhaps had working water, I was eventually allowed to move. But the owner really wanted me to leave and just take my money back. Again, I wasn’t mad at him although I should’ve been. I have no idea what he was mad at me.

The location is very cool, adequate parking, nice common area for those staying there.

Stayed in February 2023

Really good sized rooms and a beautiful location and building, the bathroom was also open which was super cool. Really awesome property.
