Luz en el Cielo Eco B&B/ Hostel

I stayed at Luz for a week. The rooms were clean and airy, the pool and deck were stunning and relaxing. Even though it is just a 4 minute walk away from the shops, restaurants, beaches and bars of Montezuma, it's quiet and feels secluded but still just full of life. The staff were more than accommodating even when I arrived way earlier than expected and such. They really do treat you like family. The breakfast is fresh and delicious, one day I went on a hike at six am and arrived back after breakfast had finished, they welcomed me back and gave me a plate of fruit without me even asking just to make sure I was taken care of. They truly are a wonderful crew around there. And that's not even mentioning what an excellent place Montezuma is to be near if you want culture from the area and around the world, live music every night and many options for great food and fun people, gorgeous hikes and waterfalls without big crowds (although just a short distance from a truly bustling night life in Santa Theresa.) I will hands down recommend this as the best hostel I have been to! (And for an excellent price) muchas muchas gracias!!

Had a lovely stay here! The place is so so clean, all staff are super nice and helpful and the pool is great also with sunbeds and shaded areas. There's a common area to chill and a really well equipped kitchen with 2 stoves and 2 sinks. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm, beds were comfy and the fan plus the many windows/open ceiling cooled it down to a nice temperature for sleeping. The beds do move and squeak quite a bit when the one person moves but all in all comfy and clean which is the most important. Do try the homemade empanadas, with the salsas, so delicious!

This hostel was truly one of my favorite hostel ever. The dorms are super simple but clean. There is a big Ventilator on the ceiling, so you don‘t get hot at night. The staff was very friendly and the pool is super pretty. In general this hostel felt super special since it is sourrounded by jungle. My biggest concern was the bugs but honestly it wasn‘t bad at all. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that the standard dorms are super tiny. We were able to share them among friends but I feel like with strangers it could be a little too cramped.

Really really nice hostel, a big surprise in a good way. It is one of the best hostels in Costa rica. Clean good breakfast with a friendly staff. Beach not far with a feeling to be in jungle Thanks so much for my making my last few days her really cool

We stayed in one of the cabinas which was perfect for a family of four. One of the nicest budget places to stay in the area from what we could tell, especially as you’re surrounded by nature. ||Friendly service, lovely pool and bar and decent breakfast.

This is a follow up to the Airbnb review. Hot water issues meant we had no hot water in our showers for two days. We knew there was no air conditioner with the stay. As there was no air conditioners in our prior two stays this trip (one in a rain forest and one in a cloud forest). This was the only place that needed it. I don’t think anyone of us had a good night sleep in 4 days. Guests visiting should expect to have comfortable stays. Cheap hotels had a/c. Either install a/c or let people know what to expect. This was our most expensive stay per night by far and it was not worth the price. The staff, food and wildlife were the only reason I didn’t give it a 1 star. This edit is in response to the business reply. When we checked in, we were told the hot water was not 100% and that cold showers would feel good. The first two days, the hot water was hit or miss, so if you stayed in long enough, you could get enough hot shower to shower. It was managable. Day 3 there was no hot water. Day 4, when we checked out, no one wanted to deal with it anymore. I did and it was only cold water again. Since the staff knew about it on check-in, why tell them again if they could not fix it at that point. As to the AC, I knew the space did not have when we booked it. When I am backpacking, I expect the heat/humidity. As with our other two bookings, we knew there was no AC and it wasn't needed. We just assumed that near the beach and up a hill, we would have cool breezes which was why we went with the booking. The fans really did not cool off the rooms (and they were pretty loud). People need to know that this space does not cool off naturally, even with the fans. And as I mentioned before, not worth the price we paid.

This hostel was truly a delight to stay in! Also the staff was very nice and all the people staying here too, which created an amazing vibe! I would definitely recommend it to someone else too!

This is your perfect accomodation for your stay in Montezuma. Quite and small location to relax during the day (also with a beautiful swimmingpool). Within 5min by walking you reach the centrum and all the nice beaches. Very friendly and kind personal and team. The breakfast is also great and you can choose between 3 options.
