Forced to stay in different accommodation and pay more

Check in took an hour. Once I arrived, the host told me there was a problem with the room i booked, and sent me to a different address for an alternative, but forced me to pay a higher price. The accommodation I stayed in was fine, was still cheaper than anything in the vicinity that night, but being forced to pay more than the booking.com price is a straight up scam.

Good value place to stay right in the heart of Puntarenas.

I liked how close this place was to many restaurants and the beach (where you can see a wonderful sunset view). The owner was very friendly and gave me advice on my bicycle trip going south.

Nice for a short stay

Very good for a short stay. The hosts are very kind and helpful. Viktor also speaks a bit English. Kitchen had everything you needed. Common space is nice and everything is clean. Puntarenas is busy on weekends (only locals) and quiet during the week.

Excellent Stay with Outstanding Hospitality!"

The accommodation was fantastic! Great location close to the ferry in Punta Arenas. The hostess was incredibly kind, and her husband even gave us a ride to the bus station in the morning. Absolutely recommend!

Great place to stay. Outstanding

Great place to stay: a whole house on the beachfront. The owner lives next door, so perfect to get assistance. 3 rooms, which are not well described in booking: a large bedroom on the 2nd floor, a small/medium-size on the first floor, both with modern and well functionating AC. The last room in the basement is very tiny, has only a tiny window to the laundry room. Doable for one night, when you are really on budget travelling but not suitable for 2 ppl. Great open kitchen, sofa in the living room and free laundry :-) Great place to stay for one day but also for one week or longer. Really the bed we had in Costa Rica so far.

the location is very poorly marked, it's hard to find, there are no numbers on the street.The person who welcomed me wanted to give me a room without a window. Then I refused, then he showed me another room which was also not the room I booked, seeing that I was dissatisfied, he said I could cancel the reservation. I showed him my reservation, that I had a room with a sea view. The third time he showed me the right room. This man I think he wanted to put me in a room cheaper than the one I booked, it was very rude of him .
