Great place to stay!
Adrian, the person who prepares and serves breakfast, was very friendly. On top of that, we saw macaws in the trees by the pool. The place was a bit out of the way and quiet, which we like, with nice rooms and a pool. You feel like you’re in the forest. We would definitely go back. Highly recommended. Very affordable rooms too and a short drive to everything you’d want to see. Only five kilometers to Manuel Antonio Park and one kilometer to Quepos, the main town. You can hear howler monkeys too, early in the morning. The breakfast area it outside under a veranda. Really nice place to start the day.

Cozy Location
Very plesant staff. Older facility that is getting some loving care. Pool and resteraunt area very nice. Rooms are basic and being worked on as well. Good location for both Manuel Antonio and Quepos Marina area. Good value for those who do not need 5 star pampering

Clean and friendly hotel with monkeys around!
Bongo is a really cool place to stay if you like to see wildlife! I saw squirrel monkeys, many many white faced monkeys, iguanas and parrots during our stay! We also liked the double bungalows beside eachother. The staff are so nice and we felt safe! Downsides- the breakfast is terrible- cold coffee, watery eggs and hot dogs every morning. I couldn't eat it. No water machines and you have to walk 10-15 minutes downhill/uphill to the nearest convenience store.

Bongo is a nice, simple property with a pool. It was quiet and relaxing. The staff was friendly but not helpful when incidents came up, and they were limited with info on things to do. Our room was clean but there was a strange smell around our bungalow. Their breakfasts are varied and nice. Their dinner menu is limited. Overall the property gets a 3/5.

I liked the layout of rooms. The pool and eating area was situated with a lovely view. The rooms and bathrooms were smaller than expected. The food was good yet Americanized.

A gem
We had a lovely stay, beautiful surroundings, very friendly and welcoming staff. An issue with shower was quickly resolved. Breakfast was good and more then enough to get you going through the day. Only minus is the lack of even a single cup/glass in the room

Beautiful hotel
The hotel is beautiful, with great location near the Manuel Antonio National Park and restaurants. The beach is in 10 minutes drive. You can also use bus from nearby station. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Especially manager Eduardo was very nice, polite and helpful. The hotel is a little bit outdated, but its charm, service and price well overweight it.

Happy
The manager and staff super helpful. They answer pretty all my questions about what to do and where to eat. Location- good location and the view is amazing and 10 minutes walk to the beach. It is quiet and you do not hear the traffic. Room- Clean, comfortable, and good AC. They even have a mini fridge. They do have a pool and continental breakfast. The Free Wi-Fi also good. Laundry- complimentary on same day and you can’t really beat that. Overall- Very happy.

Natur og dyr close up på Bongo
Bongo lever fint op til sine tre ⭐⭐⭐ naturen og dyrelivet er fuldstændig fantastisk! Sengen er god! Stedet er noget slidt og man skal ikke være sart over en gekko eller en bille på værelset. Rengøring kunne være bedre, men det hænger nok lidt sammen med det slidte look. Venligt personale, primært unge som hjælper og ejer. Vi havde fire gode nætter og fik god morgenmad og dyr lige uden for døren👏🐒🦜🦎
