Punta Riel Organic House

Daniela

Excellent, 1 month ago

Fabián was extremely friendly and understanding. The place is beautiful and very peaceful. My friends and I had an amazing time <3

The house was beautiful, the cleanliness of course not top, but logical for the style of the house (open kitchen/living area, many windows and open areas) and should be expected. The host was a dream, always answered directly when you had questions and recommended a dream beach with a small hike through the jungle, near the Airbnb. The surrounding area was quiet and despite the fact that the Airbnb is a bit remote, it is still easily accessible.

The place is very nice and the host is an excellent person. However, there were some aspects that did not leave my family completely satisfied. The kitchen is listed as shared, which is understood for guests renting individual rooms, but in our case we rented the entire house. Still, on several occasions we met a friend of the host and even the host himself using the space, which was a bit uncomfortable. In addition, there are two dogs that often approached where we were; although they are not aggressive, they scared the children. But if it is a place that I can recommend 100% if the above is not a problem.

Great place, booked for a friend who was visiting. He only had great things to say about the accommodations and especially the people. Excellent communication with Fabian, he was very accommodating and responsive. It was about a 25 minute bike ride from Playa Negra, probably 15 minutes more to Puerto Viejo town. For those with a car you will have no problem and enjoy coming back to a tranquil place with great vibes. Thank you.

We extended our stay at Organico Punta Riel as we liked it so much. Good location for seeing Puerto Viejo, Cauhita and Bri Bri waterfalls (there are two bikes at the Airbnb, free to use). There is also a shop within walking distance with everything you could need. The airbnb itself is a very chilled out place to relax. It has a communal vibe and we met many great people here while also having privacy. Fabian is also a great host. He is very knowledgeable about Costa Rican plants and is welcoming. This is a very special place to stay!

Fabian's place is in a great location between Puerto Viejo and Cahuita, tucked away behind the road. The outdoor living space is chilled and we enjoyed checking out the fruit in his garden. It made a very good alternative to a hostel and we met some lovely people.

If you book this Airbnb, a wonderful host, two lovely dogs and a nice place in the jungle will expect you. Fabian is awesome, he showed us the real way of living in Costa Rica, he had a lot of recommendations and was always super friendly. The place itself is clean and tidy. You live in the jungle, so of course, there will be animals like ants. If you want to go to the city, you need to take the bus or the bike. With the bike it's about half an hour or more to get to Puerto Viejo, depends on how fast you are. The bus actually is really hard to catch. Sometimes Fabian gave us a ride. The internet was really slow, so we went to a coworking space in the city centre. If you are working remote, this is not the perfect place. But for holidays and traveling its awesome. There are two sloths living in the trees, if you are lucky, you can see them.

Our stay at Fabian's was great! He is very welcoming, friendly and responsive to messages. We had the opportunity to walk around his vegetable garden with lots of explanations in which we can use. The bedroom was just fine with a nice terrace. The only negative point we could give and that the road next door is a little noisy but that didn't stop us from sleeping well.

Great house, great host, super clean, cool, free.

Host Response

Muchas gracias por visitarnos, regresen cuándo quieran.

Fabian is a sweet soul who really goes out of his way to take care of his guests. I am grateful to have spent time at his place. He was so helpful and kind and quickly took care of anything that was needed. I really loved being able to use the food in his garden to cook - such a wonderful offering from him to let us use his wonderful bounty of fruits and veggies. The room I stayed in was very comfortable and I felt safe traveling as a solo woman. The space is super peaceful and great for relaxation. It is wonderful that he lets us use a bike to get around too. All in all a wonderful time here :)

Thanks Selome, have a good trip at Costa Rica

The room itself is large, clean, and has all the basics. Daniela (Fabian’s sister) was there during my stay and she was a wonderful host, she was so kind and helped me getting into town at night. She also responded immediately to all my messages. I felt so comfortable being there, even if it was only for a night this place was very impressionable, there was also a sloth who lives on the property! Thank you so much Fabian & Daniela!

We really wanted to like this place and were convinced we would because of the excellent reviews. When we arrived, there was noone to meet us - partly our fault because we hadn't said exactly what time we would arrive (although we arrived at checkin time, 2pm) but it would have been helpful to have been given checkin instructions and a wifi code. We didn't have access to internet or our phones whilst we were travelling, so struggled to contact them when we arrived. On first impressions, we really liked the place - its got a cool communal area and upstairs there is a nice seating area outside the room. The room is basic but has a bed and fan and a bathroom with towels and soap (everything you need). The problem was that the shower was noticeably dirty and had a used bar of soap and used towel hanging up, so we think the room hadn't been cleaned (or it had but another guest had used it since, as the key was just in the door). There was also a really strong odor. Clearly the shower has been leaking for some time into a stud wall which is damp and mouldy. We found the smell overwhelmingly bad, to the point we couldn't sleep. Although we had booked 5 nights here, we left the next morning at 7am. We met Fabian as we left and informed him of our reason for leaving. He was very friendly, and apologised for the problem. However, when we requested a refund for our remaining nights though Airbnb he said it wasn't true. It's also important to note that you do need a car to stay here because it is far from town and on a busy main road where there is no street lighting so cycling at night isn't the best option.

We enjoyed our stay with Fabian very much. His place is very relaxing and the room was clean and comfortable! He provided us with great local tips so we were able to explore the area with some insider information. The common area is very spacious and the WiFi works pretty well too! Fabian has a great vision for this place and he was very helpful whenever we needed something. We can highly recommend this place, you’ll feel like you’re at home!

Living in this place was a super cool experience. This house is super authentic and the hosts are super attentively. The comunication before arriving was super fast, exact and really nice. We felt super well treated and welcome. The food is for sharing so as we arrived we recieved something to eat which was aaaaweesomme! Living with Daniela and Fabian was super relaxed and nice. The took care of everything! The could heped us with everything we needed. Daniela also is cleaning every day and Fabian gave a lot of super interesting infos. Even if the house is a little bit farer from puerto viejo but take it as well. The conection is really good. Thanks for everything we would return and highly recomand it.

Fabian s house is very well situated, just middle way from Cahuita and Puerto Viejo. It is easy to go by car and also public transport. The house has special design and is in the middle of a nice garden. You can wake up with the view of tucans and the birds singing. Nearby you can walk in the forest and have an splendid view of the sea. Fabian offers you the acces to the organic fruit and vegetables he grows. He is a very nice and warm person always ready to help you and assist you. I highly recommend this place.

Fabian is a wonderful host and the place is enchanting. You can feel that he has put a lot of heart and care into his project. He even offered to go hiking with us early one morning and show us around. We ate fresh bananas for breakfast every day. If you are interested in learning more about his project and checking out the place, don't hesitate! Fabian is a wonderful host and the place is lovely.
