A beautiful, peaceful spot.Amy has created something really special here.

I loved the location, so peaceful and amongst nature. Amy is lovely, welcoming host. I loved sitting on my little balcony with the sights and sounds of nature all around me.

Cute, rustic and very chilled and friendly.
Pros:

Amy is a fantastic host. When I had to change my arrival time, she couldn’t have been more understanding. She was kind, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about the area. The other guests were lovely and some of them have stayed before, which speaks for itself. Her dogs and cat were super friendly too. I only stayed one night, but I’d easily return if I was coming to Puerto Viejo in the future.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Great place to spend a few nights in Porto Viejo where you can hear the Ocean waves and the birds and it is only 5 minute walk to town. The owner is a great source of info.

Perfect distance from Puerto viejo
Pros:

The common areas are great for some down time, and Amy keeps the place spotless. Stepping across the street to the beach makes it effortless to go for a swim and then come back to dry off and get changed. The garden is beautiful and attracts lots of interesting birds. I was happy to be slightly away from the bustle of Puerto Viejo, but the walk into town is a short one that I felt safe making after dark. Also very close to the bus stop for Cahuita / Limon!

Perfect place to stay for a solo traveller
Pros:

The perfect haven for a solo traveller. Just far away enough to the hustle and bustle but within east reach of everything. Loved the garden, fresh eggs and animals. Amy was a fantastic host

Pros:

Our stay here was absolutely lovely. The best part was that we were just chilling on a balcony and suddenly saw a sloth on the tree just a few meters away! Also many other animals. The house is only a few minutes from the center (and barely any distance from the beach) and it still feels like you're in the middle of the jungle. The rooms are basic and the bathrooms are shared, but the whole place is really cute and a very good value for money. It is also beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well-equipped and a good place to hang out. There is a safe place to store a bike. There is a hot water in the shower, not that it's necessary considering the temperatures, but still. The owner is very sweet and helpful too!

Cons:

As the place is next to the jungle, there are some insects and ants and you have to be careful to not leave the food lying around. But other cuter animals far outweight this issue. If you want sloths in the trees, you get some ants.

Good but mind the roaches
Pros:

Really nice host who is always there if you need something; the beach and town are really close by. Opening the door to the balcony we were able to see monkeys and sloths.

Cons:

Place needs general cleanup! Just in our room we found 5 roaches, some crawled into our bags which we found throughout the time. That kind of ruined our stay especially since we don't know how many more we will find back at home. Cleanliness is an issue and if you mind bugs and especially roaches this is not your place.

Superb
Pros:

Waking up by the howling of the howling monkeys and singing birds was just lovely and something I will not quickly forget. If you want a jungle experience, while also being close to the beach and Puerto Viejo (5 min walking), then this is the place. Amy is a very kind host.

Cons:

The mosquito net in my room was in need of a replacement, there were some small holes in it. The neighbours twice played music very loudly in the middle of the night, although only for a short time, it was a bit annoying.
