This hostel was fantastic! I met loads of really great solo travellers and the lovely pool was welcome after long days in the sun! Rooms were clean and simple, but of a good standard. Slightly expensive, but they always seem to be full so I guess that's not an issue. Kitchen area is fantastic, huge and with lots of tables... more

Hola! I stayed at the Wide Mouth Frog during my trip from Mexico to Panama, 4 months backpacking. I was staying in a dorm with only girls (great idea!) and stayed for 10 days instead of the 2 I originally planned as I was feeling so good that I didn't want to leave! This place makes you feel home, it's... more

This Hostel was over-priced and had the worst service I experienced in Costa Rica. Coast Rica over-all is a great place to visit except don't choose Wide Mouth Frog. We had the same issues as a previous reviewer. We rang to reserve a private room with bathroom for 3 nights and they said they had a room. Then they told... more

I was meant to be staying here for quite some time but only stayed for a week. It's a great looking place, but as I was a single traveller, I found everyone to be in couples or groups and they tended to stick together so very little interaction in the evenings. I ended up renting a fabulous house in the... more

The Manuel Antonio national park is amazing and well worth a visit. I would certainly not say the same about wide mouth frog. As a couple travelling on a tight budget across central and south america we try not to spend more than $30 a night on a room. Having travelled for three months from Mexico down to Costa Rica... more

Loved the pool, after a hot (scorcher) of a day, coming back to "the mouth" for a dip was more than perfect. Our encounters with the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Spoke English beautifully and appreciated our sad attempts at Spanish. Nice people for sure. The room was very small but didn't spend much time there anyway -... more

We stayed three nights in Wide Mouth Frog hostel in Quepos. We had an en-suite room (no.2) with two beds - one double, one single. There was a fridge in the room which was great and for an extra US$10 you could have air conditioning, although we didn't avail of it as the ceiling fan sufficed. The room was clean... more

Nice hostel, with good amenities (swimming pool, TV room, internet) just that personal touch!!!! When we were there for two nights a woman with a french accent was at the desk and she made everybody feel that she is the boss and she sets the rules (which is probably true, but the amazing amount of signs saying No this and... more

I stayed here for three nights, using Quepos as a base to explore Manuel Antonio National Park and surrounding beaches and forests. The hostel was recommended by Lonely Planet, and depending on which room you are in, it's a fine place. The first night, they put me in a room that was smaller than a prison cell, and hot as... more
