“Perfect for us”

The perfect place to stay in tortuguero! Great location, very quiet at night and a comfy bed meant we slept very well. Good kitchen facilities if you want to cook. Two lovely outdoor areas to sit and relax or watch the hummingbirds and spider monkeys come and go. Oscar was the perfect host, so friendly and welcoming. We absolutely loved our stay there and would recommend to anyone!

“Peace and Nature !”

Good A/C, very good hot water, clean, owner is friendly! Is near to all place ( super market, national park) , just take a few minutes. I love hammocks, Oscar help me with the tours, is very nice ! Pura vida !!

“Mediocre, had different expectations reading the reviews but reality was different.”

We had different expectations probably reading the reviews but our room was very small, the common areas weren’t as great as we thought. For instance the kitchen was okay but not very well equipped: no drying towels for the dishes etc. Cutlery and bowls/plates and knifes were dirty. In the room there was barely space to store your stuff. Good things were that the location was fine. Staff was friendly but not exceptional like we’ve seen in other hotels. Overall it was ok but I wouldn’t book again.

“Perfect”

Everything was absolutely perfect – beautiful accommodation and a lovely place, with a tree full of toucans just a short distance from the garden. 🙂 The owner arranged an amazing early morning river tour for us, which I can highly recommend – an incredible experience!

“Great Value for Money”

Friednly helpful Host, picked us up at the boat and helped us organize a turtle tour. Rooms, Porch and Kitchen were good. Very quiet place

“You get what you pay for.”

Well placed (but others are also well placed; the village is not big at all). Friendly staff. You have a kitchen. Good bathroom, hot water. Great communication upfront. Everything "works".

“Helpful tour booking. Poor check-in.”

Nice to have A/c. Warm shower. Oscar, the host, booked tours for us. We never met him - just arranged tours via WhatsApp on the day. Both the night walk & turtle tour arranged through Oscar were good. Oscar also booked a non-specified time boat ticket on the day of arrival from La Pavona for a good price. This made the process easier as we were able to tell the touts at the car park that we were already sorted for a boat.

“Nothing was too much trouble for Oscar and Karen, whether arranging tours or laundry.”

“Amazing!”

Visiting Tortuguero was a big highlight of our trip in Costa Rica, thanks to the amazing help of Karin and Oscar. They have helped us book every tour, and because of them we ended up with the best guides and even private tours for standard prizes. Apart from the tours and the clean room/house, especially the hospitality of Karin and Oscar Made our stay in Tortuguero so special. No where else in Costa Rica we have felt so welcomed! They came to pick us up from the boats, walked with us to the tours to make sure we found our way, and they were always availble to help us arrange things, or for just chitchat and a laugh. If you are looking for a wonderful stay in Tortuguero, definitely book here!!

“Very true and wonderful natural experience stay!”

Super friendly and helpful hosts, both Karen and Oscar! They helped us with directions to get there, saved us time with booking boats to/from Embarcadero, then helped us with booking canoe and night tours with a great guide in the area! Their house has a sweet back-side garden with lots of plants and quite often visited by various animals coming by everyday when we spent time in the hammocks during afternoons. The small room gave us everything we needed, including the very needed air-conditioner to cover the humidity during nights. Overall a true authentic experience, like their location name! If you’re into true local experiences, this one is for you for sure!

“Friendly host and very fine accomodation”

Oscar is a very good host. Helpful for all questions. Good advice for excursions and the boat back to Pavona. The accomodation was spacy and the patio fine. Good kitchen. All very clean.

“Natural Experience House”

Loved the location, with good facilities for what we needed. Oscar and Karen were great hosts! Gave us a lot of information prior to our stay and we're really helpful when answering any questions we had.

Nice hosts. If you have questions, they are very helpful. The rooms are clean and the kitchen as well.

“Great house, clean, AC and a nice garden.”

We had a complete house, with a great garden with hammocks. The host reacted real quick on question and came to pick is up by the boat. He and his wife were great hosts! He alsoarranged our tours for us for a Good price.

A/C was good. Water was hot in shower.

“Great wildlife wake up calls”

Oscar and Karen great hosts, available to help and offer advise and book tours. Great location amongst wildlife, great to sit in garden to relax , eat , drink and listen and see wildlife. Great morning wake up calls from wildlife..howler monkeys, raccoons, and numerous bird songs.

“Nice stay”

Good location. The host, Oscar, is very nice. We had someone waiting for us in La Pavona and a guide that took us from the dock to the apartment in the village and gave us explanations about the place and things to do on our visit.

“Lovely hotel”

We had a wonderful stay in Tortuguero! The host is lovely and the outdoor area was perfect. It’s in a great location and the hotel works with a local tour operator who met us from our boat and sorted all our tours, it was perfect!

“Friendly hosts and comfortable”

Friendly hosts. Relatively comfy bed. Good air con. Shower good. As described. Good shared kitchen facilities. Close to main street and national park entrance.
