The apartment was well laid out, with everything needed for a stay. The Puerto Viejo area is spectacular. However, the street was in poor condition for access to the accommodation, so you have to be careful when entering.

Beautiful place, quiet, where you can disconnect from the noise of the city. You can walk to Playa Negra. We rented the blue banana bikes and the experience was amazing. Pamela was very attentive with everything. She made sure that you were comfortable during your stay, taking care of every detail.

We liked it a lot. It's just like the pictures and everything is very clean. An important detail about the walls is that you can hear everything between the rooms. When you open the shower in the bathroom, bad odors come out of the drain. Everything else is perfect. Recommended. Neat and clean.

Our stay did not meet our expectations. The TV in our room did not work, and other guests reported the same thing. This affected the advertised amenities. Although the host was attentive, the lack of a timely solution means we would not recommend this place.

The ad showed and said private house /3 guests. That what the picture and the headline shows. Well that is not what we got. As far as saying three guest we were charged an extra $69 dollars for the 3 of us. The false advertising was that the price was for 1 person not 3 as it is advertised.

An excellent place to stay during your visit to Puerto Viejo. And if there are several of you, you could rent more than one of the 3 apartments available. The lovely pool and the beautiful property, with fruit trees.

Pamela's house is a dream. It's really appreciated that there's a TV in the room, which is also very cozy. The air conditioning works perfectly, and the patio, the pool and the entire space are very nice and comfortable. I would definitely look to stay here again. Also, the proximity to Playa Negra is a big plus. It's my favorite beach in Puerto Viejo.

The Airbnb was nice on the outside but that was about it. My friend and I expected something better from the Airbnb pictures that were shown. It did not match the pictures on the listing. The room wasn’t messy but there were visible signs of dirt and mold here and there. The walls are paper thin; we could hear the other guests snoring from the other room. The shared amenities are outside of the room. The bathroom kind of creeped my friend and I out. There’s a window right above the shower and it made us uncomfortable. We woke up with bites on our legs that we didn’t have before. Overall, the host was very sweet, but the airbnb itself had a few issues. We were supposed to stay there for five days but only ended up staying one night. If you’re into a budget friendly room, then by all means this is the place for you. It’s similar to a motel room, just fyi.

We stayed one week in the airbnb. The place is very nice and calm. Great outdoor kitchen and we loved having a pool. Like written in other reviews you can hear the neighbors talk in the nextdoor room, however everyone goes to bed quite early in CR it seems so we were not bothered by it. The pool is a bit smaller than it seems on the pictures and shared with the big house and the other 2 rooms. The only thing we missed were some sun beds in the garden. Keep in mind that this airbnb is not in puerto viejo town, so it is nice to have a car or scooter i think (but Uber is available here as well). Last but not least, very beautiful starry sky during clear nights

Overall, the room cleaning was very nice; the towels and bedding smelled freshly washed. The location, although a bit hidden, allowed easy access to the center and several beaches in routes of no more than 30 minutes. As a point to consider, for those of us who have low cars and did not know it previously, the entrance and parking area were somewhat uncomfortable, since they were flooded with mud. On the other hand, in the photos it is not entirely clear that the pool seems to belong to the other property (a house that if I am not mistaken is also rented). This made it a bit uncomfortable to use when there were other guests in it, as it felt like you were invading their space due to the location of both the pool and the tables, hammocks and plants. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils for the stay, and on several occasions the place was cleaned and tidied, which was very pleasant. Excellent communication from the host

Lovely remote and tranquil place, clean, outdoor kitchen with lots of amenities. Gorgeous little pool and very well kept garden. A bit away from the town, but can walk down in around 40 minutes or order taxi. Very near the beach, 5 minutes walk. Near a small shop, 5 min walk again. Would stay again!!

The place is nice, there are three independent rooms per tenant and the noise from the other tenants easily passes through the walls, fortunately we coincided with quiet tenants and there was no problem, but from one room to another you can hear absolutely everything

The place in general is very nice and a great location if you have a car. However, there were several situations. The first was in terms of communication and flexibility, at the beginning of the reservation I made a change of dates due to a situation and it was not well received. The day before I had an accident and even though I had a medical certificate and a disability, the host was unable to understand the situation and did not help me modify the reservation to arrive a day later, so I paid and lost a night. At the end of the reservation, I also needed help and again the host did not show flexibility. The room is a little smaller than shown in the photos. There are also areas that are shared with the house near the pool and they do not specify them. Finally, the bathrooms with the sliding door take away privacy and in general the bathroom needs maintenance and has walls with mold and humidity.

The pool is very nice, the room is small but it's fine, the only thing that maybe bothered us a little was the bathroom, since the door is sliding and it didn't close completely, it would be better to have a normal door for more privacy. Everything else was very good

We stayed 7 nights in the accommodation and were satisfied. Beautiful pool and well-maintained accommodation. Check in and check out very straightforward. In the middle of our stay, the room was cleaned once. Unfortunately, the location was not as described, there is no shared beach access. The accommodation is not directly on the beach but can be reached in 5-10 minutes on foot. We were alone in the accommodation most of the time and therefore had plenty of space. However, if the other apartments had been occupied, the space in the outside kitchen would have become cramped. Unfortunately, there is no way to dry laundry, both outside and in the room you can not hang towels, even for the hand towel in the bathroom there is no hook. For a location near the beach and pool, this is definitely necessary. Furthermore, loungers and seating by the pool would have been nice. Value was good.

First of all & most importantly, the hosts misrepresent the location. It isn’t on the beach side, as was shown when I booked, or near Calle 219, the address they shared after booking. If you look at Casa Bodhi on google maps that is a more accurate location. It was one street to the west of Banana Azul & several unmarked, unlit streets south. Unfortunately directions that revealed the location weren’t sent till the night before so I wasn’t able to cancel my reservation until Airbnb stepped in. The hosts were unkind & unhelpful. The unit I stayed in was clean, light & comfortable, but the walls are paper thin & I was kept up by one neighbor watching tv then woken at 4am by my other neighbor having sex. Each room controls the light outside of it so if your neighbor chooses to leave theirs on you better have a sleep mask since the curtains won’t block it. I couldn’t make the hot water work & the hosts weren’t able to help. Luckily Airbnb helped me move to a better location for me.

From the first moment, the place transmitted to us a special vibe: a super quiet atmosphere that invited you to disconnect and enjoy the natural environment. It has a charm difficult to describe, that feeling of being in a little hidden paradise. The service was another high point. Every detail seemed designed to make us feel comfortable and welcome It was definitely an experience that exceeded our expectations, and we're already thinking about when to come back. If you're looking for a place to relax and connect with the essence of Puerto Viejo, this place is a gem.
