Summary of traveller reviews

Kalunay Hostel in Puerto Viejo De Talamanca offers a fantastic, well-equipped kitchen and a lovely outdoor area. Guests appreciate the friendly staff and convenient location, just a short walk from the centre. Some recent feedback notes that rooms can be small and lack air conditioning, and Wi-Fi can be unreliable.
