Joano·5·Dec. 2025· "From the very first moment of the reservation, Gustavo was the most attentive and helpful person in the world! The reception was impeccable, unique details, the place feels like you're at home. Truly, it offers a human warmth and space that makes you want to come back! The location is ideal for getting to know the city, and the perfect stopover to access both coasts of the country."

Kevin·5·Mar. 2020· "our stay was really short but we really enjoyed using the space as our home base. The vibe was a very friendly and relaxed guest house/hostel. The hosts as well as the other guest we met were really great and we loved meeting everyone- including the super cute pup! Safe and quiet neighborhood. Would recommend. Excellent value for the money."

Nicholas·5·Apr. 2024· "Fabián provides a welcoming home to spend your time in Talamanca.
Conveniently located between Cahuita and Puerto Viejo, it has an abundance of national parks, waterfalls & secluded beaches within driving distance.
His home is authentic & you instantly feel at home upon arrival. His projects & passion for supporting local communities inspired me, he truly loves what he does.
For something different & local I highly recommend staying at Fabián home to experience his warmth & hospitality!"

James·5·Apr. 2021· "Wonderfully located place near beach, downtown and restaurants. The house is modern, clean and the covered patio is a great place to relax. Fernando is a kind, helpful, calm and generous man. It would be fun to travel with him as a fellow traveler, but in staying at his place I gained his insight into other travel ideas for Costa Rica. You will be happy that you stayed at Fernando's place."
