This place is cozy and beautiful. If you want to be surrounded by warm people and lush gardens, this is the place. The water feature with gold fish on the back patio is like a small meditation retreat. A lot of love when went into building this little gem.

I can’t say enough good things about this hostel. The family went above and beyond. The gardens and fountain made for the most tranquil environment. Felt like a real life oasis. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in San Jose. I hope to come back to see them again one day.

Staying at Garden's House Hostel was my best decision on my trip to Costa Rica. The hosts are the nicest people you could meet, and they go above and beyond to give you the best service and accommodations. You get a home-cooked breakfast included, and can also get a homemade lunch or dinner as well (for a slight extra cost - about $6 USD for a full supper, which is much cheaper than ordering from Uber Eats!). They offer transfer services to pick you up/take you to the locations where day trip busses pick you up (for trips to Manuel Antonio Park or Tortuga Island). I cannot say enough good things about this place!! When I return to Costa Rica, this is the only place I want to stay!

Really wonderful hostel run by a lovely family. I stayed in a single room. It’s no frills for sure but that’s what I paid for. Everyone was super friendly and the family will drink with you at the kitchen table. Highly recommend, would stay here again. It was a short walk to downtown alhuela and the hostel itself is in a gated community of sorts. It all felt very safe.

Absolutely wonderful staff. They cooked a delicious vegetarian meal for me at a very cheap price and drove me to the airport at 4:30am for a very good price as well. The bed was very comfortable and clean. Location was in a safe neighborhood. Highly recommend!

A very clean room for both of us. Breakfast was good. All the staff were very friendly, although we came almost midnight from the airport, the young lady at the front desk was very kind. We left in a hurry to catch the bus to Puerto Jimenez, my sister in law left her phone in the room. The owner drove to our taxi and caught us in time. Thank you very much for a wonderful service. We will be back there again in a week.
