On August 24th, I went on a weekend trip to Costa Rica to get a feel of the country and stayed at Bekuo after reading the reviews on this site. My plane arrived late and they had no problem for me to arrive at Midnight. It was a first time for me to stay at a hostel and I would stay here again. The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean. It is about 1.5 miles from the city but the bus is only about 30 cents and the stop is a block away. There is a bagel shop one block away and a bakery if you want to breakfeast close around. There is a student travel agegncy two blocs away that can arrange for any tours in costa Rica and beyond. The people that stayed there were very friendly. Bottom line I am going back and will stay at hostel Bekuo again!!
