En fin de compte il y avait une route entre les 2 très passante et très bruyante. On devait avoir 2 lits doubles mais nous n'avons eu qu'un lit dans une pièce de moins de 8m2\. La chambre était au 1er étage et comme mur vers l'extérieur il n'y avait qu'une plaque genre contreplaqué très fine qui était tordue et non jointive. Dans le détail il était indiqué une salle de bain. Nous n'avons eu qu'une douche et des wc en commun et un lavabo qui donnait dehors. Le ménage n'a jamais était fait en 3 nuits. ##### Annie ### 4/10 Poor #### jack sparrow Jan 25, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Keep looking Located on a super busy road with CONSTANT noisy traffic.

Kaya's is full of amazing art and has such a relaxing vibe. The owner is a great man and always stopped and spoke with us when he saw us. His son is adorable. They have a dog, Leia, who walks freely around the hostel. Is she very friendly and calm. There is also a kitty, Ralph, who is a huge suck. He will roll on his belly to get belly rubs. The room we stayed in was small, but it worked. We mostly spent our days out and about in the town. Our nights we spent on the sitting area, outside our room, on the hammocks. The food was tasty, but the kitchen staff was slow. The ladies who worked the front desk were great in arranging us taxis when needed. Now for a few downfalls: 1\. When we booked, we were given one price. When we received the confirmation email, we were given a different (but cheaper) price. I emailed them back to confirm this price and asked if it included taxes. I was told that yes, the price was correct and included taxes. When we checked in, it went back to the original price. When I spoke with the lady at the front and showed her the emails, I was told that Jennifer had made a mistake and there was nothing she could do. 2\. Our shower was advertised as a hot shower, but we didn't get any hot water. However, most of the time the cold water was welcomed, especially since we didn't have an air conditioned room. ##### Britney ### 8/10 Good #### johnny, Fort Worth Jan 22, 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### No Frills for sure!!! Didn't get to stay, they lost reservation! Offered alternative but with no A/C or breeze was way too hot. Staff was pleasant, does have a lot of uneven surfaces and steps, tripped a number of times in the dark!! ##### johnny ### 8/10 Good #### scott, New York Jan 14, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Customer Service! JT, the owner, is an awesome guy. Top notch customer service. Really one of the rare ones in the hotel business that you feel actually cares about your experience there. Even offered to make me up an extra room when the hotel booked up. Kudos JT! ##### scott ### 8/10 Good #### JORGE ALBERTO, Cartago Jan 6, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Recomiendo Muy buena atención ##### JORGE ALBERTO ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 4, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Nettes und einfaches Hostel in der Nähe vom Strand Das Hostel befindet sich direkt an der Hauptstraße von Puerto Viejo. Überkehrt man diese ist man schon am schwarzen Sandstrand. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit, die Zimmer sauber, aber einfach (Bad im Zimmer ohne Tür nur ein Vorhang). Da es nicht direkt im Zentrum liegt, haben wir im dazugehörigen Restaurant gegessen. Lecker! Außerdem gibt es eine große Auswahl an Bier, welches zum Teil dort selbst gebräut wird ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### pavla, czech republic Dec 1, 2015 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Got rained on at night! the place looks nice from outside. They seemed to have spent more time decorating The hallways than The rooms. Room was basic. After it rained for couple of hours i started dropping water on my bed! Seriously?! The shared bathroom you will think twice if you want to use. If you have a room facing beachfront (understand main road) get ready that i will be a pretty nosit experience Even with earplugs. Cooking skills at their restaurants are poor. They Charge 8 dollars for lanudry! Def one of The worse places i stayed at. ##### pavla ### 6/10 Okay #### Mette Aug 27, 2016 ##### Mette ### 8/10 Good #### Kim Jan 30, 2016 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Kim ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Azul Hotel & Retreat ](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Pineapple Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Golden-Pineapple-Villas.h19807376.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Vista Celestial](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Vista-Celestial.h11269533.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Playa Bonita](https://www.expedia.ca/Limon-Hotels-Hotel-Playa-Bonita.h26894314.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Piña - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Villas-Pina-Adults-Only.h26708227.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Life Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Good-Life-Lodge.h31807555.Hotel-Information) > > [ La Tribu Boutique Hostel for Women](https://www.expedia.ca/Cahuita-Hotels-La-Tribu-Boutique-Hostel.h105711549.Hotel-Information) > > [Namu Garden Hotel & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Namu-Garden-Hotel-Spa.h95629818.Hotel-Information) > > [Terrazas del Caribe Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Terrazas-Del-Caribe.h34578162.Hotel-Information) > > [Sibu Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Rustic-Lodge.h10561215.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Waterfall Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Green-Lagoon-Wellbeing-Resort.h6000473.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean view luxury property, AC, pool in the jungle at short walk to the beach.](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Ocean-View-Luxury-Property-With-Pool-In-The-Jungle-At-300-M-From-The-Beach.h32168249.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonora Caribbean Jungle Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Sonora-Caribbean-Jungle-Retreat.h48419608.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cerro Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Cerro-Lodge.h10449526.Hotel-Information) > > [Lands in Love Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ramon-Hotels-Lands-In-Love-Hotel.h1372764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Colina Secreta - Glamping and Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Colina-Secreta-Glamping-And-Villas.h45027956.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Umami Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Umami-Hotel-Adults-Only.h22650931.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Sky Penthouses 3-6BR Condo-Hotel at Oceano Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Sky-Penthouses-3BR3BTH-At-Oceano.h12093587.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information)
