Liked: Well, in the first time Bekuo is great because of his staff, they are friendly people who help you in whatever you need to have a nice trip. The atmosphere is so good, is easy to know friendly people from all the word and many of them want to get fun and go to party. If you prefer something more relaxing you can play pool or wii, watch a movie in the living room or read a book in nice garden.

Disliked: Only the idea that you have to go back to home in sometime.

Liked: Hostel Bekuo has a friendly, welcoming staff. They are incredibly helpful and sincerely cared about making my experience in Costa Rica the best it could be. The staff knew the country well and they gave me great advice on activities, the best companies to go through, and some of the better food spots around. Whether it was going out to listen to music and have a couple drinks or sitting around sharing our experiences, there was always something to do while hanging out at the hostel. The hostel itself has a warm, homelike feeling. After a long day rafting down the Pacuare river (arranged by the hostel staff), it was nice to be able to cook a meal in Bekuo's spacious kitchen and have a beer while playing billiards with some fellow travelers. Overall, it was one of my better hostel experiences.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Located in a residential area, and downtown San José is a few minute bus ride, I was able to walk safely during the day and at night to nearby restaurants, bars, and shops. The staff is knowledgeable about places to see and visit. The morning free pancake with fresh fruit breakfast is a blessing!

Liked: I planned on staying for 2 nights...which turned into 3 periods with a total of about 2 weeks. The hostel has an incredible atmosphere, really laid back. The area around the hostel has pretty much everything you need from restaurants in eveery price range, to a big supermarket and a proper shopping mall. Its not to fa from town and there is plenty of buses bringing you there. The staff/owner: They were the reason why I came back 3 times. You gotta love this place!

Disliked: No lockers in the droms...but thats really it.
