Very well located, closed to restaurants and bars. Really nice decoration. Quiet at night.

Nothing I didn’t like. Maybe they can organize some activities during the afternoons.

Das Hostel hatte eine Top Lage und auch das dazugehörige Restaurant serviert gutes Frühstück und Abendessen. Der Chef packt hier noch selbst an wenn die Mitarbeiter nicht können oder wollen.

Man darf in einem Hostel nicht allzu viel Komfort erwarten, aber die Doppelzimmer waren kleiner als die wir aus Tokio kannten. Die freie Bodenfläche reichte gerade aus um einen Koffer zu öffnen.

Auberge de jeunesse très bien situé au centre de Santa Elena. J’avais une chambre seule qui était très propre et confortable. Le personnel était souriant et très serviable ! Je recommande vivement cette auberge, pas de mauvaise surprise. En plus c’est très beau et moderne avec une cuisine en plein air dans la jungle :)

Mooie gemeenschappelijke ruimte met lekkere zitzakken. Leuk barretje buiten met uitzicht over de bomen. Locatie in het centrumpje naast 2 leuke restaurants.

Keuken is buiten

Really nice hostel with a jungle in front of the place where you can see hummingbirds and the staff is super friendly.

The showers do not have warm water so it can get cold depending on the weather.

De uitstraling en dat het echt schoon was.

No había internet en las habitaciones..

Las zonas comunes y la ubicación

El baño de la habitación era muy pequeño

Everything was very very good!! The hosts were amazing and their restaurant next door is simply excellent

We booked the family room which held the five of us very well. However it is a lower ground room so felt a bit bunker like. The shared facilities were great with a nice little balcony outside. It is in the centre of town so close to all amenities but with this inevitably comes road noise.

The location is perfect, right in the center of Santa Elena. The common areas are really cosy. The room was very confortable and clean.

Can't remember anything in particular.

Great common room and kitchen, pretty surroundings, comfy bed, warm showers, location is good

Rooms are rather small and wifi was not very strong

I loved the area and the hostel - the kitchen is small but nice and the terrace is beautiful to sit on. Had a good time at OutBox Inn. The staff was super helpful with booking tours and shuttles.

I would have liked a Spot to hang clothes / towels to dry as it is raining quite a lot in Monteverde and you might need that.

Great staff, nice clean room with a comfortable bed. Common area is nice and relaxing, free yoga class on Fridays. Great location and service.

I loved the common área and kitchen. The staff were really friendly and my room was very confortable. Its in a great location. I would definetly stay here again.

This was a beautiful location and beautiful facilities; the outdoor kitchen was wonderful. The best part of my stay however was the staff! I'm especially thankful to Alex and Tati for their constant help, advice and warm presence. They were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home. I was originally going to stay for 4 nights only, and ended up staying for 6 and still didn't want to leave. Highly recommend coming here if you want to visit Santa Elena/Monteverde.

This is my favorite hostel I have ever stayed at—and I backpacked through SE Asia. And this is one of my only reviews. I care enough to write this review because I want anyone who is traveling to Santa Elena/visiting Monteverde to save themselves the hassle and stay at Outbox. It’s THE best hostel in town—verified fact because I had a few friends I had met earlier in my traveling journey stay at other hostels in Santa Elena switch to Outbox. What I love: the COZIEST mattresses with the softest blankets, the aesthetic of the main space with its high ceilings/plants/local artwork/big windows that let in loads of natural light, the outdoor kitchen space makes you feel like you’re cooking in the jungle and it’s well maintained, but most importantly the lovely lovely lovely humans who work at this hostel—especially Alex…they were all so friendly, warm, and gave excellent advice. Please do yourself the favor and book your Santa Elena stay here.

NOTHING!

Basic room, very functional but what you would expect from a hostel. Good social areas and activities.

No issues with accommodation.

Helpful, friendly staff. The shared open lounge space was really nice. Comfy bed. Good location if you want to be in the heart of Santa Elena.

My room was near reception, so there was some noise in the evenings trying to sleep. There was also very loud music playing from somewhere nearby the hostel till very late, maybe 2am for a couple of nights of my stay (Thurs and Fri night) The floor of my room was painted with grey paint that ended up coming off the floor sticking to my feet after I showered.. took my ages to remove and still on my socks actually.

Friendly staff and good location with many restaurants around. The rooms are very basic, but provide all that you need for one night stay. It's getting cold during the night (beginning of March), so either request additional blanket or ask for a heater in your room.

A bit too basic for the price, but it's OK for 1 night.

relaxing, chilled out, communal space was amazing and even included free ☕️!!!

the shower curtain was a bit weird and let the water out the shower, so the floor got wet.

Jose, the receptionist, was so friendly and welcoming. We asked him about tours and he recommended the best ones. He helped us to reserve the excursions, so that once we got to the location, all we had to do was pay. He was available from 7am to 9pm, and was so helpful. The location of OutBox Inn was very central and in middle of town. Close to everything!

The location of OutBox Inn was very central and in middle of town. For that reason, you can hear a lot of passing by traffic. The motorcycles are especially loud. It’s also very windy in Monteverde, so at night, it sounds like the building will get blown away. It was hard to sleep. The WIFI did not work in the rooms furthest away from reception. Our room (#7) didn't have any WIFI, unfortunately.

Nice hostel, very comfortable and clean beds, towel was provided, good social area, free coffee, friendly and helpful staff, room was clean, great location, good Wi-Fi

Stayed in the 6 bed room downstairs- Finishing touches to room I.e shelf to charge phone by bed, bed curtains, bathroom door was basically a sheet of plyboard not much privacy, no tv in social area, kitchen facilities were very basic but okay. Just minor things that would turn this from a very good hostel into an excellent one.

private rooms communal area

communal kitchen was quite small but well equipped

Great place with authentic atmosphere. Delicious food at their restaurant. friendly staff

the two men who work at the counter are super friendly and helpful. location is great! kitchen is outside, which makes it very nice, unfortunately less ideal in bad weather. There is a coffee machine so you can make coffee, a pity that the staff does not do that, small effort great gesture. most people did not know how the coffee machine works and was often dirty.
