"I can’t recommend enough! We stayed in San Jose the night before our flight, after spending the week in Fortuna we weren’t sure what to expect. We booked a cheap stay, and it was fantastic! It was clean, safe, and comfortable! It’s inside a locked gate, with a safe place to park. It’s walking distance to plenty of food and shops. I can’t recommend enough! "

"I’ve stayed at my fair share of hostels and budget-friendly accommodations around the world, but Alajuela Backpackers Airport Hostel genuinely surprised me in the best way possible. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience felt warm, welcoming, and remarkably well-organized — but the real standout? Their shuttle driver, Jesus M. Let me be clear: Jesus M. is not just a shuttle driver. He is the heartbeat of this place. From the very first interaction, he went above and beyond in ways that most five-star hotels could only dream of. He didn’t just transport guests from point A to point B — he made every single person in that shuttle feel seen, cared for, and genuinely valued. Whether it was offering helpful local tips, accommodating everyone’s needs with a smile, or simply making the ride feel like part of the vacation itself, Jesus delivered an experience that was nothing short of exceptional. My partner and I were blown away by the level of personalized attention he gave us. He took the time to learn what we needed, answered every question we had about the area, and made thoughtful accommodations that showed he truly cared — not because it was his job, but because that’s just who he is. In a world where genuine hospitality is increasingly rare, Jesus M. is a breath of fresh air."
