Pros:

The sloths in the parking, all the animals and the magic of sleeping in little pods! The shared kitchen was super clean and perfectly maintained! The bathrooms were also big and super clean with hair drier. Staff was nice and helpful, everything went smooth with communication and self check-in. Sustainability: they even have eco-soap for dishes and hand soap vegan from women-owned companies.

Cons:

The pods can get a little hot, but there is a fan on the bed that helps the air flows.
Reaching the bathrooms from the pod under the pouring rain - although it is just few steps- as the path is not covered. I guess it is part of the experience to sleep in the nature.

great little, well managed hostel, very central
Pros:

I stayed on the female dorm and it had everything you could need. bed was comfortable, each bed has its own fan and plugs, and there are individual lockers. The hostel is clearly managed by a professional team who really cares about you. Lovely owners and staff! And minute walk to the park and all the restaurants.Not sure if the guatusas are resident but they were there all day, and at the time I was there, there was a momma sloth and her baby up on one of the trees, too cute

Cons:

I wished the beds in the dorms come with a mosquito net as there are quite a bit of mosquitoes inside that even with the fan on, they find a way to bite…

Pros:

The friendly staff, relaxed and inviting atmosphere, the location, price, the other guests, kitchen facilities

Cons:

Just little things; the bed lights didn't work, the kitchen floor was dirty, the shower did not feel clean. Maybe there could be a way guests could clean the shower after every use.
