  • Hostel was near to everything. I had such a wonderful time and shared experiences with other people staying there. On fridaynight we had a get together with a few locals that were playing guitars and singing. The ambiance was so great that people in the neighbourhood just walked in and enjoyed the atmosphere. Just wonderful. Alfonso, Emel, Comanche and of course little Bob, muchas gracias por el fabuloso tiempo que pase con ustedes.

  • This was such a great experience. The owner and the staff at Monteverde Backpackers were so helpful--from places to hike to restaurants, I cannot recommend this hostel enough. We made some truly wonderful friends. Coming back to the friends and welcoming atmosphere at Monteverde Backpackers was the best part of the day!

  • Staff was very pleasant and helpful, also a cleaner did very good job and was a pleasant person. I enjoyed my stay there. Breakfast was very nice. The kitchen was small, but it did not border me. There was plenty of room to everybody to sit, eat and/or relax.

  • This place will fool you at first sight, but it is awesome Alonso the manager is so great. He was very patient, helped me a bunch. Super close to downtown, very quaint. Kitchen for cooking your food, common area is nice. Since one day in monteverde is enough, this fits the price so well. Even one of his friends stopped by and played the guitar. For a quick night this was perfect. Four stars.

  • Think home away from home. This place is a small hide away but close to town- which is not hard to find! Great location, safe, clean & warm shower!
