William did everything very well, from cooking mahi, mahi to giving us tips for our stay in Costa Rica. The view from the room on the second floor with covered balcony was excellent. We hope to return to Ruta Verde in the future.

Ruta Verde BB was a wonderful place for my wife and I to stay! Although we were only there for one night, the staff made us feel welcome and right at home. Immediately after arriving we were greeted and guided to our room. The staff made sure that we had transportation to the airport in the morning even though we gave them short notice. The dinner at Ruta Verde was remarkable! It was one of the best meals we had during our visit to Costa Rica! Overall, this was an awesome place to stay and we would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing place to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of San Jose.

6/10 Good

We were disappointed by our experience at Ruta Verde. We felt unwelcome from the upstart, arriving at 6pm to find everything closed up and the owner eventually communicated through a CCTV system in a irritable manner. It is described as a boutique hotel, but there was a lack of attention to detail, such as: the towels were old and rough, the toilet paper was cheap; the water in the bathroom smelt like sulphur, the shower was cold, the TV would not work, the traffic from the street was noisy and we had an adjoining room with a child's cot and a heap of random junk beside it. The traditional breakfast of rice and eggs were cooked well, but the owner came across as grumpy. (Not the customer service we have experienced elsewhere in CR). He claimed he was looking to sell up and move on, which could not have been more apparent in his service. Alajuela itself is hectic and seems shady, so not worth visiting in our opinion.

Nice place, but could use updating. Parking is difficult, but safe. For the price, good accomodations. Not a lot of conveniences nearby.

No es un hotel es un apartamento
El apartamento necesita mucho cariño (ventanas trabadas, azulejo del baño, no había jabón de baño,etc) La ubicación muy conveniente si no te importa el ruido intenso de los automóviles que pasan junto a la calle principal.

The property was clean and rooms were very spacious and set out well. We were extremely comfortable. The food was great and William cooked fresh meals for us and chauffeured us to our next destination. Our host was extremely helpful and generous with information about the area and places to visit.

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days as a closer area from the airport before we headed out to the beach. William was wonderful and so helpful with all of our needs!! We went to the coffee plantation and the volcano, which were both worth seeing!! His home cooked breakfasts were delicious!! This felt like a true Costa Rican property!!! We will be in touch William!!!

Great place!
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful, very clean guest house. William's breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend. There is road noise (which can't be helped), so if that impacts you, bring ear plugs. I used ear plugs and it did the trick. Thank you so much for this convenient, wonderful stay! If I'm ever in Costa Rica again, I will definitely come back here.

Great choice close to the airport
We had a great one night stay here before leaving Costa Rica. It's very close to the airport, as listed. We had a wonderful suite with 2 bedrooms, a little kitchen, full bath, balcony, and a sitting area. It would have been nice to be able to stay for a couple more nights. One bedroom had a king bed and one a queen. We had breakfast (not included) the next morning and it was delicious. Wonderful views of the surrounding area from the little balcony. Comfortable beds. Very clean.

There was nothing not to love about this property. It was beautiful, had a convenient option for breakfast and dinner, and the room was spacious with a comfortable bed. The host, William, was an excellent resource for fun things to do (he also makes the most delicious meals). He was very accommodating and friendly, and we can't wait until our next visit.

Private Gated - Must Stay in Costa Rica
We had a wonderful stay. It is a beautiful large home that has been perfectly divided into private suites with gorgeous views. It is very private with gated access. Parking is conveniently onsite. There a very cute indoor/outdoor terrace cafe. The owners are very attentive and make you feel at home. Conveniently located close to airport, town restaurants and nearby attractions. Would recommend for one night or extended stay. Our favorite accommodation in Costa Rica to date.
