Muchas gracias! Te esperamos pronto!Posted on Google Ian CárdenasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me gustó mucho por la relación calidad-precio. Muy acogedora. Me esperaron a que llegara del aeropuerto hasta la 1 de la madrugada lo cual agradezco mucho. Lo único que pediría pudiera poner atención el lugar, es el tema de los insectos, había muchas hormigas en el cuarto pero pues es entendible también porque es en un jardín; aún así, doy las 5 estrellas. Voy a regresar sin duda. ⭐️🥭

¡Muchas gracias por su comentario y por las 5 estrellas! Nos alegra saber que la relación calidad-precio y el ambiente le resultaron acogedores, y que pudimos recibirle sin problema a su llegada tardía. Tomamos en cuenta lo de los insectos; al estar rodeados de jardín puede ocurrir ocasionalmente, pero siempre estamos atentos para atenderlo de inmediato con nuestro servicio 24/7. Será un gusto recibirle nuevamente. ⭐️🥭Posted on Google Marysia GonzalezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best place to rest your head in CR. Feels like home. Beautiful garden space with a taste of CR nature. Hospitable and relaxed vibe. Unbeatable location. Gracias!

Safe neighborhood, and the property is so cool! Great character with good, clean public spaces and well stocked shared kitchen. The garden itself is beautiful and a great place for a morning coffee under the mango tree with fountains, turtles and fish! Lovely experience and great host. Would come back again and again for a sanctuary space within the city 💚

Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere of the property, the shared spaces, and especially the garden for a relaxing morning coffee. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime. 💚Posted on Google Ken BlakemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice little hidden guesthouse in a convenient, safe location, very friendly and helpful staff (shout out to Quétu and César). Secluded garden is a peaceful oasis where you can have your coffee or tea (included) and your own breakfast (not included) on your little deck, listening to the cascading fountain with turtles and koi. It’s perfect for guests not looking for an impersonal chain hotel, but rather, a place that feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s house. Decent price too.

We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon.Posted on Google La Resistencia Artículos PersonalizadosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lamentablemente decepcionada, cada cuatro meses debo desplazarme de Guanacaste a San José por temas de estudios en la Universidad y por ir a dormir de 10pm a 7am, en un cuarto de 1 cama grande y una pequeña (solo porque esa tenían.) Inicialmente para 2 adultos y me ofrecían esa habitación en 30mil, de último momento llevo a una niña, me cobraron prácticamente lo que cuenta una habitación pequeña en este lugar $40. Terminé pagando 50mil colones por unas horas y 2 adultos con una niña de 13 años. Y es completamente falso que me cambiaron de último momento la habitación, ya que desde un inicio me asignaron la habitación, que tenía un valor incluyendo la otra cama. A lo que pensamos si hay una cama extra perfectamente la niña podía ocuparlo, ya que estaba ahí, durmiéramos 2 o 3 personas, para las cantidad de horas que se ocupaba. (Ni siquiera 10 horas) Yo no iba por el dicho Festival, iba por temas académicos, desplazándome desde Guanacaste. Viaje largo, cansado y terminar cerrando con este inconveniente a esas horas. Si no me quedo donde mi familia en Cartago es por las distancias y mi Universidad está en San José, al cual voy a presentar proyectos.

Gracias por compartir su experiencia. Lamentamos que la situación no haya cumplido con sus expectativas. Para aclarar, la reserva inicial fue realizada para 2 adultos en una habitación específica. Al agregar una persona adicional a último momento, fue necesario asignar una habitación distinta, ya que la originalmente reservada no permitía esa ocupación. Esa nueva habitación corresponde a una categoría y tarifa diferente, lo cual se le explicó en el momento. El cargo aplicado incluye la tarifa ajustada por la nueva habitación y la persona adicional. Agradecemos sus comentarios y tomamos nota para seguir mejorando la comunicación en estos casos. Esperamos poder atenderle nuevamente en una futura visita a San José.Posted on Google sandrine klimovitzky brunswickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
