This little family hotel is awesome! They are so friendly, calming, attentive and honest. While the place is simple and basic the atmosphere is great and it is so clean and quiet. The wife is a good cook. She made us dinner and breakfast. Al tasty and since it was a family affair, ie, eating with others, it was a nice way to enter the country. Looking forward to one last night there on our way out of the country.

Hands down, the best hostel I've stayed at. They have created and maintain a welcoming and hospitable atmosphere that makes it easy to connect with other guests as well. They go out of their way to serve guests, they offer breakfast, dinner, a super convenient airport shuttle, are knowledgable and explain things well. Highly Recommend.

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!

I liked everything. I stayed twice, and upgraded to a private room the second time. They just installed an Air-conditioner. The room had Roku and a large walk in shower with a sunroof. The breakfast is included and the two hosts are extremely nice and helpful.
