+I slept in a capsule in the women’s dorm and felt really comfortable and safe. Norman, the manager, in particular, is incredibly warm, welcoming, and a great person to talk to. You can tell that everyone puts a lot of love and care into the hostel and into making sure you feel at home. From the rooftop, you have a fabulous view of the ocean and the mountains, and it’s a wonderful spot to enjoy the sunset. The nearest supermarket is about a 10-minute walk away, and in 15 minutes you can reach downtown Tamarindo or the beach. I highly recommend everyone stop by here.

+The concept
−My specific capsule smelt like moth balls and body odour, resulting in me having to find other accommodations as the smell was unbearable. Additionally, from inside the capsule with the door closed I could clearly hear all conversations and movement. Was supposed to stay 3 nights and left my first night.

“Excellent for me - a single female traveller that just needed a safe, clean bed/shower. The staff are very friendly”
+My pod was pristine inside. I didn’t spend much time there except for sleeping/showering but there is a pool and it always appeared clean. Facilities are simple but clean and sufficient.
−There is a big hill on the road leading to Pupa House. It was fine for me but for those with mobility issues (or worn knees!) it could be challenging.

−1 - It would be good to have a note for guests to do not set the AC to a temperature higher than 24°C and to do not hide the control inside their pod. Once, we arrived at the room and the AC was set to 28°C and the control was hidden (it magically appeared the next day). 2 - One day we run out of water and I message the hostel through WhatsApp to get to know what was going on. I've never had a response through WhatsApp. The security guy just said that it was a problem of the whole Tamarindo. However, we hung out with people who were staying at other places in Tamarindo and they said that the water was normal. I think it was disrespectful to do not have aswered my message, explaining better what was going on exactly. 3 - The sink area needs a shelf to put your stuff while you are, for example, brushing your teeth. The shower area needs more hooks to hang your clothes while you are taking a shower. 4 - A full body mirror would be nice. There was none.

+On the positive side, I would especially like to highlight the receptionist. She was a very kind person, always with a smile and very helpful. From the first moment, she made me feel at home with her warm and welcoming attitude, which really made a difference during my stay.
−As for what could be improved, the parking situation might be a downside for some guests. The place does not have its own parking, so you need to park on the street. It was not a major issue, but it is something to keep in mind.

+Friendly staff with a nice view from roof terrace where you can relax or have breakfast.
−There are no windows that you can open in the rooms so you are forced to sleep with the A/C turned on.

“Great place for the value. Wonderful staff service.”
+The highlight is definitely the staff, they all are very warm and helpful. The facilities are in good shape and it’s very clean. The butterfly garden is a must do.
