Rooms at Gabi's

This is a safe place to stay. It was easy to find the place and do the check-in! It's a self check-in which it's awesome ... you only need to get the instructions from the host before arriving. Also, the room temperature was easy to manage: A / C and fan. It's 5 minutes walking from the beach !! Love it Could be difficult to sleep if you have noisy neighbors or if you need to work with that internet (it's good but, depend on your needs).

The location, value, and owner responsiveness are all great. Very convenient to surf. I stayed on the second floor and liked the bright, private accommodation. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very nice. Lots of shelving for “stuff”. Great restaurants right downstairs or within minutes walk.

Thank you, Nancy! We look forward to hosting you again. Pura Vida!

Loved our stay so much, everything was cozy, perfect, great location, had everything we needed, so cute and beautiful scenery and monkeys outside!!!!!!

You get what you pay for. If your looking for a cheap place for 1 or 2 nights it’s a good place. Nothing extra just what you need. The property is busy and has a restaurant and shops right outside the door. It made it very loud especially at night but also made me feel safer having so much traffic. The bed and towels were clean. But the bathroom (sink and shower) were not. If you are a clean freak or anything close to it I would not recommend. The location is nice because you can walk to everything in just minutes. Rent Nosara is a get company to work with and communicated well.

Thank you for the review Sarah. Hope to see you in the future.

Toilet didn’t flush properly and the safe had no key. Spoke to mgmt about the safe (they set up a (Hidden by Airbnb) group in advance, a nice touch), they sent someone who didn’t have the right key, then after a while, they stopped replying to my messages and I was left safeless. This late-stage ghosting happened twice during my stay. Confusing af to find, maybe some photos would help for check in. Inconsistent wifi, was on my phone data most of the time. Still one of the cheaper prices for a private unit in an expensive area.

Thank you for the review Keeghann. We're sorry that you were left to fend for yourself with no safe key and a toilet that was giving you problems. We have fixed both of those problems at this point and would be happy to host you again in the future. We appreciate the feedback regarding photos for a check in and will certainly take that advice.

Great stay, can’t beat the location and value

The check in process was super easy with a code and lock box with the keys and the hosts had a WhatsApp chat for ease of questions. The location was great, very central to everything in the area. The restaurant right beside, La Brasas was absolutely delicious. The outdoor areas smelled severely like garbage, which luckily didn't come into the room. However, there was a strong smell of sewage coming into the room from the pipes which was disappointing. There were ants crawling all over the walls and in the bed, which isn't the biggest deal for us as this is Costa Rica. My partner just used the room to sleep during the days as he was gone through the night, so if we came back to use it just for that, it would be perfect! It smelled like garbage in the outdoor areas, and our entire room had the smell of sewage coming through the pipes very strongly.It was due to the time of year with the prices being expensive, but it was a bit over priced for something so basic.

This place is great. Finding good lodging around New Years Eve is always tough and my surf buddy and I were really happy to find this room at Gabi's available. The room is basic but truly has everything a traveling surfer needs. Plenty of space and a great fridge / freezer that made it easy to keep our beers and booze icy cold which is a big deal in the Tropics. Very comfortable beds -- which is key when you're surfing all day. The location is perfect because there are a bunch of great little shops (including a laundry service which is good and cheap) and restaurants downstairs from this unit. It's also walking distance to everything in North Guiones, including the surf break, The Gilded Iguana, and the best Soda (small local restaurant) in Costa Rica: Rosé's Soda Tica. Highly recommend this place.
