“Very helpful with my many questions.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 18, 2012

From the first phone call speaking to Jack to handing in the key at departure, everyone was incredibly helpful.
We stayed in a private room where one bed rolled out from underneath the other - very exciting for a five-year-old. The room was clean and quiet and bigger than I expected.
Some of the guests did a double-take and were a little surprised to see a little kid running around and splashing in the pool, but minutes later, were making faces with him.
Everyone that worked there was incredibly helpful with making a phone call for me, giving directions, driving suggestions and everything else I inquired about.
A short walk to the incredible beach - be sure to watch the sunset. Speaking of beach, we were standing by some rocks looking out at the ocean, I turned around to take pictures and saw three horses just running on the sand! No riders, no bridles - just running. Very cool moment!
Minihostel is convenient, you can walk to everything.
WiFi access is a nice plus. I swung in a hammock setting up our next destination as my husband and little guy played in the pool.
Music coming from the reception area was always good.

“Do not stay here!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2012

On a recent stay at the minihostel I witnessed the owner physically beat up a women and a local man. I would not support any company that allows this type of treatment towards women or its local people. Not only was this horrific, but all the Israeli guest as well as the owner were very loud and obnoxious. No consideration for the other guest.
After this experience I moved to another location on the other end of town and it was more tranquil and relaxing with the "Pura Vida" vibe I was looking for in Costa Rica.

Room Tip: Don't stay there.

“Perfect place to stay in Santa Teresa/Mal Pais!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2012

I stayed at mini hostel while I was in Santa Teresa and it is by far the best place to stay in town. The vibe is super chill, the people are friendly, the kitchen is large and they have two fridges for your groceries. The common area is super fun, with a pool, a pool table and plenty of places to sit and hang out. All and all a great place to stay!
