If you plan to stay in Montezuma you're gonna need some spare days to throw in! You're gonna get stuck there because it's a lovely hostel, always clean, very much cared for and run by a funny crew who won't even get annoyed by you asking for pineapple every single morning =) And if you're lucky you can get a...

My stay here was definitely a great experience. Abbie knows all the great places and tours, I absolutely recommend the Tortuga Island tour and Sushi Night is a must-have!

I had an adventure in Costa Rica that is beyond words, and this place was an integral part of all that. Great location, great vibe. Cannot recommend it enough.

I had intened to stay in Montezuma for only 2 or 3 days. I ended up there for 5. I think credit for that is mostly due to the AMAZING staff of Luz En El Cielo. The owner, Abby is so kind, and so Adorable. Her, along with the three main employees, Thomas, Ron and François were so much fun... More

I intended to only stay one night, but had such an amazing time that it became a couple of days. Luz en el Cielo reflects what a hostel should be... an inexpensive, basic living,and a meeting place for friendly people. Breakfast is included... the best gallo pinto and pineapple that I have had. The rooms and bathroom are clean and... More

Having consulted Trip Advisor, we decided that this was the place to stay in Montezuma. We had two beds in the cabin, that is apparently not quite finished yet. I realize that profits are everything but it would have been better to finish construction before packing it with bunks. The windows were without bars or screens so they could not... More

We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. Since your stay, multiple improvements have been made here at Luz. We now have fans in the cabina. Breakfast has been revised to include eggs, a variety fresh fruit, toast, coffee and gallo pinto (a traditional Costa Rican breakfast). Our policy regarding keys is designed for security purposes, as... More

Abbie is a strong young woman whose vision is impressive by any standard. I wish her and Luz en el Cielo the best in achieving her goals. Rob clearly thinks about ways he could be improving the hostel all the time, talking to guests about their expertise that could benefit the hostel. He is consistent and responsible, as well as...

Sincerely, I have never been in a hostel before with such genuinely friendly and helpfull staff as at Luz en el Cielo. For example, if you come in without making a reservation and the place happens to be full for the night, the staff will always try to arange another place for you to stay, which is just one of...

My friend and I stayed in Luz en el Cielo in August and had a great time. We actually extended our trip an extra day because we liked Montezuma so much. The location is perfect - it's quiet because it's right on the edge of town. Breakfast is included and "family dinner" nights were a great way to meet and... More

We came to Luz en el Cielo seeing it had fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor, but for us it didn't live up to its reputation. Don't get me wrong, it has great potential! There are just some basic things that need a bit of work. Kiwidiwi's review (below) is spot on, but I would argue you won't find a place in... More
