Guest reviews for Karandi Hostel
"This was such a great space and I had a few more days to book an Uvita and re-booked here. Awesome atmosphere, fair price, quiet, and all the workers and people there were super kind. Great space ! Loved that each room had a back patio and only 4 to a room was really nice too. Thank you!"

"Well located if you like to stay a bit closer to the beach. Staff and owner were very friendly and it was extraordinary clean. They clean the rooms every day and it’s nice to have small rooms with only four beds in it. Every room has its own patio which is quite nice. Cool open kitchen and a lovely garden. And overall very affordable!"
"Aucun."
"Lots of cool birds around the property and even a resident crocodile (not near the housing)! It’s really close to the beach which is nice and there is a mini mart not that far from the property (5min walk) Supermercado is 20 ish min walk away but that’s uvita for you."
"I think they should invest in bed fans because the big ceiling fan is not enough!"
"Beautiful garden, well equipped kitchen, clean facilities, close to beach, free car parking"
"Small rooms, no privacy curtains on beds."

"One of the cleanest hostels I’ve been in Costa Rica! Doesn’t have the “rundown down” effect many other hostels have . Super nice surroundings . Short walk to the beach . Fabulous restaurant on site with discounts of hostel guests. Very convenient when it rains and one doesn’t want to walk anywhere . Only 4 people per room and it has lockers and a wash basin in the dorm rooms - as well as a balcony . The staff is super friendly and you can get all the help with your travel needs."
"The mattress was a bit uncomfortable . However the pillows were great ."
"Beautiful place. Loved all the animals including the cat. Loved the bathroom n shower for our 2 rooms."
"Thought breakfast was included. Would be better if there was a microwave in the kitchen. Over all great."
"I left hostels in my 20s but I overspent so I had to save... and this hostel exceeded my expectations! First of all - it has the cutest interior I have ever seen in a hostel. Second, female only dorm was very clean and I met some European girls. Third, the location and the garden and the mini gym... it's very close to the beach. You almost feel like you're in a hotel with friends. There's a restaurant on the property that makes good breakfast."
"Nothing. It was all good!"
"Beds are done everyday, place is extremely clean and looked after. Very conviniently located and peaceful. Each dorm has a backdoor patio to chill. There is a beautiful backyard. The kitchen is very well equipped"

"Lovely views, nice kitchen and modern furnishings."
"Modern, clean room with a comfortable bed and large bathroom with jacuzzi tub for two! Table for eating inside with a balcony outside to enjoy the views. Refrigerator and coffee in room. We stayed here to experience Volcan Turrialba. Our host Nathalie was very lovely and very informative. She was so helpful she even ordered food in for us after our hike."
"The location near La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Poas Volcano was perfect. The cabin was modern with anything and everything you would want in the kitchen. The bed was super comfortable with plenty of comforters and blankets and pillows (high grade). No air conditioning is needed. It gets very cool at night you actually need to use the space heater provided. The shower has great water good water pressure and hot water. We were provided with a very delicious breakfast each morning brought to our cabin. The cabin was an excellent stay and a great value. The owner despite being out of town meeting a new grandchild communicated with us several times whenever we had questions and gave us great recommendations on places to eat that made our stay extra special."

"I stayed only one day, but everything was great. Cabana was in the middle of garden with a lot of birds in the morning. It was clean, spacious, nice, with air-con for good price. And Jorge was very friendly and helpful with everything. 100%!"

"The pool and room were great. Very good value for money. Staff were helpful and friendly. Would stay again."
