Mangifera Hostel — Hotel in Grecia

For the purpose of this review, I am refering to the white manager of the hostel who is from Europe. I believe her name is Anuk or Anouk as I do not know the spelling.||||We spent a few nights at the hostel and we caught the manager lady from Europe,I think her name is Annouk in our room on 2 occasions. For some reason, the manager Anouk was in our room when we returned. When we asked her what she was doing in our room she started to speak in some other language and seemed extremely disoriented. She then left our room while still speaking in a different language. At first when she spoke Spanish to us - she told us that she thought that we had checked out - but since it was still way before 12 and since our luggage and cloths were set around the room- it was very onvious that we were still in the room and had not yet checked out. She was very strange and turned the conversation  around to ask us why we had not checked out. Check-out time is 12 noon and it was about 10:30 am so there was no reason to be in our room long before check out time! We wonder if she put her hands on our cloths or put her hands in our luggage? Why else would she be in our room?  We didn't notice anything missing but we did notice that our luggage was open upon finding her in our room and we know for certain that we closed our luggage before we left the room. She must have heard us talking as we approached our room door and quickly stopped looking through our luggage and neglected to close our luggage as we entered the...

I stayed here for 2 nights on a solo trip that started with my taking a chance to travel the country with 2 French backpackers I met on the road.||Oscar and his friends were so welcoming and awesome. The night I spent talking to them about the politics, and society of CR made my whole trip worth it. The hostel is also only 30 min or so from Volcán Poas by car, and about 40 min by bus to the San Jose Intl Airport.||The backyard is beautiful, with hammocks strung under a large mango tree, and little kitties skittering around. I was told that the hostel is also the music scene of little Grecia, plating hosts to a lot of musicians and bands from all over.||It was 5000 colones (~10 USD) a night for the shared dorm, and large shared homey bathrooms.||If I were to ever visit CR again, I'll absolutely...

I stayed 3 nights in a 4-beds dorm (Wed & Thu I was alone, Fri we were two). When I arrived to the hostel the first impression was strange as the big house seemed without any guests. Apparently it fills up during w-e. Very clean, good hot water in the shower. Good kitchen where you can cook. There is a closed veranda with a hammock upstairs and in the big garden some tables and chairs where you can sit. I did some cloth washing. The hostel is on the right hand of the central church, just in front of the park. Bus station is just 150 m. away. I went by bus + foot to Cataratas los Chorros and also by bus + hitchhiking (hard) to Bajos del Toro. Some tourists could arrange for just 50 usd. the Poas volcano + Bajos del Toro in one day. Mangifera's owner organizes tours at very...
