Hi wish hi can go again soon

Stayed in March 2025

Make sure to book when you are 100% sure that you are going as they are very strict with the reservation. As I missed my flight connection in Colombia, I could not arrive as planned. Despite showing proof of my trip distruption, they still charge me. During myvtravel I experienced that some other accommodations still managed to change/cancel the reservation, so I know that they can bend their own rule. A mirror in the room would be nice Other than that, nothing to complain

The place is quiet, clean and located a few minutes walk from the national parks, beaches, the bus stop and restaurants. The kitchen and shared bathrooms are extremely cleaned. The staff is very friendly and always ready to give advice. The only noise at night and early morning comes from the monkey. I end up staying 2 extra night

A perfect place to stay, quiet, clean, with friendly staff

Some visitors were really loud and not respectful of others.

Javier was sooo helpful and gave me a good understanding of Cahuita. The girls at the front desk were so nice and courteous as well. I really appreciated their help and patience.

The location, the stuff, the green areas inside the hostel.

Lack of air conditioning and the kitchen could be nicer

Staff, location and the room

Stayed in March 2025

Everything was perfect! The hostel is super clean, people are very nice. And you can even see animals. I definitely recommend it.

The only points I would hilight would be : for the shared bathroom that we have only one key to access but if you don't have urgent needs should be fine ;) I was with my brother and we were usually going together to open the door for each other. The fan wasn't well oriented, we tried to fix it but seems like it was broken, so one person was with a lot of air coming in the face.

We were in the kind of "cocoon" which was very original. We liked it a lot. It was confortable. The shared bathroom were super clean and big. We can see agouti and many crabs around ! It's at less than 5min by walk from the Cahuita Park and the center. Everything is accessible by walk. The receptionist was very friendly and gave us some places to check.

The stuff at the reception were all very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the beds were also good. The female dorm was quite spacious, the mixed dorm was a bit crowded. They had a nice garden where we also could spot some animals and it's very close to the bus station and also right around the corner of the national park and the beach

Everything was absolutely amazing

Confortable, clean and great facilities in the middle of nowhere. The bathrooms were impeccable and Alison particularly was amazing, kind and heblpful

The only criticism is that the kitchen and communal spaces are closed off at about 21:30 until 7am, so if you need an early start before 7, you need to make sure you remove everything from the kitchen the night before.

The hostel is really well located between the bus station and the entrance to the National park. It is also close to the supermarket and restaurants. The kitchen is really well organised and the hostel is cleaned regularly. Beds also have an individual light, fan and shelf. And we had the bonus visit of several monkeys!

Stayed in February 2025

everything was fantastic; we arrived early and were hoping it was possible to leave the backpacks, but instead we were told the room is ready and even more, we got a free upgrade to the cabin on the upper floor. it was definitely adding so much to the experience, as you can see monkeys right from your window, it was a surreal morning :) the facilities were clean, the kitchen is very organised and spacious, all cute elements of the place like hammock, bookshelf, we loved everything. also location is very good, and so is the price - I cannot believe it actually hahah. would come again, alone with partner with friends - I think it's just a must in Cahuita, we did not want to leave!

Stayed in February 2025

I did not like that I was leaving so I made plans to return!!

I stayed in the all female dorm. It was incredibly clean. The bed was comfortable. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a nice vibe at this hostel. The hammock chairs are very inviting.

Stayed in February 2025

There are two reasons why I do not give it a 10. One is the fact that the kitchen only opens at 7am while most people wake up early (sunrise), so you cannot get to your own food before 7. I do not understand the logic behind it. The other reason is the fact that one night a Mexican girl staying in the female dorm was super drunk/drugged and was shouting all the time and quite agressive. There was no personnel during the night so no one to solve it and we had to manage ourselves. The day after they apologized , went to talk to the Mexican girl and explained that if something happens like that again there is an emergency number. They picked it up really well, but it also made me wonder what would happen if other casualties would happen and for instance a fire breaks out. It does not feel very safe that there is no personnel or security guard during the night.

After reading some reviews on Google I must say I was a bit anxious but the stay at secret garden was absolutely great. The woman who runs the plays is very friendly, the dorms are spacious and clean, and the garden is just lovely.

The pod was perfect for our needs and the shared bathroom was spotless

Perfect location and very good value for money

The kitchen closes at 9:30 and stays locked. It's too early and too extreme to lock the kitchen. I could not access my food on the fridge

Super clean, beautiful, nice people around!

No dislikes. Kitchen can get crowded but it works well.

Nice garden enclosure with close access to services and beaches.

Nothing

Location to park and town excellent

Stayed in January 2025

The room was a little musty smelling which I only noticed once the door had been closed for a while.

Very good location right next to Cahuita park. The cabin was small and cosy so just what I needed for 1 night. Was great to have the option to drop my bag off too. The shower is probably the best I've experienced in Costa Rica

Stayed in January 2025

The property is really well maintained and cleaned. There is a lot of nature around and it is very peaceful.

Stayed in January 2025

It would be more comfortable if bathrooms and toilets could be accessed without the room key.

The property has a lot of communal space, is arranged with a lot of details and makes you feel at home. The communal kitchen is well equipped and the shared bathrooms are spacious and updated - they feel luxurious.

I liked the location, it's very close to Cahuita national park. Secret Garden is a good option to stay with your family and a big group. I liked vey much the kitchen which is always clean. I liked the common spaces and the quitness during nights.
