Hostel Monteverde Backpackers

Absolutely incredible and unforgettable experience. Alonso has great recommendations. I told him what I wanted to do during my stay and he booked everything including pickup right at the hostel door! I even paid less than I would have if I booked the activity online! I splurged and got a private room (only a little bit more than the dorms) the whole place was clean and cozy. Perfect. And free breakfast!! Also the housekeeper is an angel. Her and Alonso make a great team and really made my stay wonderful. Also super close to the supermarket and lots of great restaurants. Also will arrange transportation to and from the airport for an added fee. I could go on and on but the last thing I’ll say is that every day, all day long, there are different birds right outside the window of the kitchen!!

Beautiful little hostel with amazing service! Alonso, is very helpful, kind and funny! He'll help you out with whatever you need. The hostel is centrally located, with a well equipped kitchen. Keep an eye out for the tree filled with birds by the kitchen! Amazing!! I highly recommend this hostel :)

Location is pretty central and has a supermarket next door. Reception was incredibly helpful and friendly with your plans while staying in MV. The social space is widely used as well and you can see wildlife from the kitchen windows. Overall clean, cheap, & social.

Great hostel. They offer a lot of tours and activities. Alonso can help you with anything and the shower is the hottest and highest pressure during my travel through central america!

Fantastic stay. We had everything we needed, great suggestions for tours that were extremely easy to book, and when I left my jacket accidentally in the room, they drove it to our hostel in La Fortuna within 24 hours.

I like our hostel. Staff are excellent. Allonso and the lady are very lovely and cool. Hot shower working great, room is clean, bed is ok. Overall a good hostel for staying

We had a booking on Hostelworld made months in advance, but upon showing up, the receptionist told us the price would be twice as much. I asked them why and that I have a valid booking with a different price. He said he would call the manager and that we could go to the beds in the meantime. All beds were taken. We informed the receptionist and he said to take care of it.||In the meantime, the manager Alonso showed up. He said he would only give us the room for twice the price. We refused of course and told him to honor the booking and that twice the price was insane for a dorm. He said to pay or cancel. I told him that I would not cancel, because I had already paid a deposit. He then told us to come back tomorrow? For what, so that he could mark us as no-show? The whole thing felt like a scam, especially since the receptionist had let it slip that this happened before. We refused to pay twice the price and to cancel ourselves, at which point he shouted at us to leave. We left the premises and easily found a private room for the price of a dorm somewhere else.||As such, I cannot recommend anyone to go to Monteverde Backpackers. The manager is ill-tempered and the whole thing felt like a scam. Don't be fooled by the cheap price online, they will try to make you pay more than you do elsewhere in town.

This is a late review but me and 3 friends stayed here in August of 2023. Truly one of our best experiences at a hostel. We had gotten a flat tire and the concierge notified and changed our tire for us while we got ready for our hike of the day. They also helped us book ziplining tours, recommended local hikes, and restaurants.
