Pros:

Die Vermieter waren außerordentlich nett und haben mir aus der Patsche geholfen als mein Handy nicht mehr funktionierte. Ich habe selten so hilfsbereite Menschen getroffen.

Pros:

The owners were lovely, quiet road, there was a shared kitchen, and the pool was nice. It was close to Playa Ocotal (walking distance).

Cons:

It all depends on what you are looking for. I like privacy and isolation when I travel alone. Because this room is connected to the main house, I could hear every cough and conversation next door and neither the kitchen nor the pool were private at all. Maybe the description just needs a more detailed explanation. I felt like I was awkwardly renting a room in somebody's house, which was not how I wanted to end my Costa Rican vacation, after 3 and a half weeks of staying in much nicer places for less money.

I loved the combination of comfort and nature at Casa Avi Fauna.
Pros:

My room at Casa Avi Fauna was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained: The windows and doors slide open and shut easily, the shower is large and beautifully tiled, the ceiling fan and a/c work perfectly, and the Wi-Fi is great. The grounds are well-maintained while still looking natural, and there are plenty of birds and monkeys enjoying them. The outdoor kitchen was a big plus for me as I enjoy cooking while enjoying natural surroundings, and there is a French press for coffee, tea, and water heater in the room as well. The pool is wonderful, especially after a morning walk around the neighborhood or on a hot afternoon. The hosts, and their pets, are very pleasant.

Very good
Pros:

The house is in a very nice area, the outside garden feels like a forest. If you have a car, it's not a problem to get there although the road on the estate isn't in the best shape.
There's a nice pool outside as well and a kitchen, too. The room was very comfortable.

Cons:

I think it should be stated pretty clearly in the advert that there's two big dogs in the property and one of them roams around. He's extremely friendly and sweet but just by being big he could be scary to some.
It's a bit awkward to be staying next door to the owner of the house. Even though the owners claim it's soundproof, it only silences the sounds a bit - I was able to talk with my partner while on the other sides of the doors. That only applies to the master bedroom, though. The others are in separate small buildings so they're more private

Absolutely perfect little jungle guesthouse off the beaten track with a lovely pool.
Pros:

This beautiful, very well equipped little guesthouse was so perfect and comfortable for people like us who like to be a bit off the beaten track. On a steep hill in and overlooking the jungle, it felt like staying in a treehouse! The small but delightful private pool was perfect for a residence that houses just 3 rental units, and the dogs and cats were a lovely addition. Sandra was lovely, kind and available to help with anything. One does need a car here, but once used to the twists and turns of the road, it is easily accessible.

Cons:

Nothing. It was perfect.

Pros:

Sandra is a great host, flexible, kind, and a total badass. Room was comfortable, breakfast was healthy and nice, pool was lovely, proximity to jungle was wonderful, quiet chill and calm environment. Walking distance to two beautiful
beaches with (expensive) restaurants.

Cons:

Very steep hills hard to drive and walk (i was recovering from an injury so it wouldn't have been an issue otherwise).

Hidden gem
Pros:

It was a bit difficult to find it at night, but once there it's like another world. It's close to the beach, but at the same time it's far enough to be secluded, surrounded by beautiful nature. The room is a good size, with a large bathroom. Comfy bed and coffee maker. Fan and air conditioner An outside kitchen can be used around the pool. Sandra is a beatiful person, thanks.

Very nice place in the nature up in the hills. But you definitely need a car to reach there!

A lovely, quiet place to stay!
Pros:

This was a wonderful place to enjoy quiet surroundings, and to settle in! We felt cozy and comfortable in our room. The pool, the gardens, the area, were all suited for tranquility. Also appreciated the well equipped shared kitchen. The owner was great! The beach and town were a short drive away.

Comfort surrounded by nature
Pros:

The place is beautiful and surrounded by nature. I stayed in the studio separate from the house, and it was really private and clean. Patrick was a great host. About a 15 min drive from El coco and a 20 min hike to playa Ocotal, and the place is accessible with any vehicle. Highly recommended.
