I was traveling with a friend that had never stayed in a hostel before. Our lodging fell through, and fir the luck of us we ended up here. Traveling around CR we ended up here several times! Don't miss out on this one. Marco is a wonderful host and a wealth of knowledge. The rooms are very clean, as is the kitchen. The back garden is an oasis in itself. A must stay if in Grecia or surrounding areas!

Awesome place. In the middle of Grecia, well located (park, restaurants, bus station). The hosts there are very nice. The rooms look like hotel rooms, better and bigger than any hostel we went in Costa Rica. There's a nice and beautiful green area in the backyard. They also offer the shuttle to reach the airport which takes 25 minutes without traffic (it was 20$ per shuttle, so 20$ for 1 to 4 people).

SO comfortable! Best hostel in Costa Rica

Marco and staff are very hospitable! Very friendly vibe, well equipped kitchen and fabulous garden/sitting area. Maco does tours to the volcano (Poas), waterfall (los chorros) and any where you want to go. He also does airport transfers. On site laundry is also available. When in Grecia this is the place to stay!


Wonderful!

I stayed 3 nights in a 4-beds dorm (Wed & Thu I was alone, Fri we were two). When I arrived to the hostel the first impression was strange as the big house seemed without any guests. Apparently it fills up during w-e. Very clean, good hot water in the shower. Good kitchen where you can cook. There is a closed veranda with a hammock upstairs and in the big garden some tables and chairs where you can sit. I did some cloth washing. The hostel is on the right hand of the central church, just in front of the park. Bus station is just 150 m. away. I went by bus + foot to Cataratas los Chorros and also by bus + hitchhiking (hard) to Bajos del Toro. Some tourists could arrange for just 50 usd. the Poas volcano + Bajos del Toro in one day. Mangifera's owner organizes tours at very reasonable price.

Ok hostel

For the purpose of this review, I am refering to the white manager of the hostel who is from Europe. I believe her name is Anuk or Anouk as I do not know the spelling.

We spent a few nights at the hostel and we caught the manager lady from Europe,I think her name is Annouk in our room on 2 occasions. For some reason, the manager Anouk was in our room when we returned. When we asked her what she was doing in our room she started to speak in some other language and seemed extremely disoriented. She then left our room while still speaking in a different language. At first when she spoke Spanish to us - she told us that she thought that we had checked out - but since it was still way before 12 and since our luggage and cloths were set around the room- it was very onvious that we were still in the room and had not yet checked out. She was very strange and turned the conversation  around to ask us why we had not checked out. Check-out time is 12 noon and it was about 10:30 am so there was no reason to be in our room long before check out time! We wonder if she put her hands on our cloths or put her hands in our luggage? Why else would she be in our room?  We didn't notice anything missing but we did notice that our luggage was open upon finding her in our room and we know for certain that we closed our luggage before we left the room. She must have heard us talking as we approached our room door and quickly stopped looking through our luggage and neglected to close our luggage as we entered the room. 
Thank you.
