Hotel Pibi Boreal was the perfect place to stay after a long flight into San José, Costa Rica. The owners were incredibly friendly and made everything easy from start to finish. One of the biggest conveniences was the transportation and car rental coordination. The hotel arranged our airport pickup, and they partner with a car rental agency that delivered our rental car directly to the hotel on the morning we checked out. At the end of our vacation, we stayed at the hotel again, returned the rental car there, and took the hotel's shuttle to the airport. The entire process was seamless and stress-free. The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of fresh fruit and excellent Costa Rican coffee. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and if you prefer a firm mattress, you'll love the beds.

Really awesome experience here. Incredible staff and place. One of the highlights of my trip! The host made me a meal before breakfast time even started and took me to the airport I highly recommend them!

The best place to stay near SJO if you prefer a more nature-filled, boutique bed and breakfast experience than a run-of-the-mill airport hotel. They even remove the watermelon seeds in your breakfast fruit plate, served to your door as part of a beautiful breakfast tray. And I had at least 5 hummingbird sightings while eating said breakfast on my balcony!

Mathieu met us promptly and pleasantly with the shuttle

Beautiful property close to the airport. The hosts were very kind and welcoming.

Very close to airport car rental return. Perfect for the last night in Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Our group of seven ladies spent one night at Hotel Pibi Boreal. It was wonderful!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was brought to our rooms, which was a nice. Each room had a patio overlooking the forest. We would definitely stay here again!!

Lovely, ample eco-friendly rooms in a tranquil setting. Large garden dips down into the forest. The staff (all family) are helpful and kind. Plan on 10-15 minutes on a tight curvy road to get to restaurants but the hotel location is worth it.

The owners were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our breakfast on the beautiful deck.

Trevlig tillmötesgående personal och fina rum. Kommer gärna hit igen!

We only stayed for one night at the end of our trip to Costa Rica and we would have liked to stay longer, it is a lovely hotel and Nidia was very welcoming and helpful. It was very clean and had great garden to walk around. Breakfast was included and brought to our room. Thanks

The owners were very helpful and room was clean

Room super clean. Beautiful garden. Super friendly staff. They drive us to the airport early in the morning

The room was very clean. The staff were very courteous and they went out of their way to assist with anything we needed. The breakfast brought to our room was excellent!

Great owners and place

Everything was lovely - location, beautiful garden with rainbow eucalyptus, breakfast on the balcony! The owners were the sweetest people and had excellent communication, ensuring everything was perfect! My only regret is that we only were there one night! Would definitely stay again!!

It was our second stay and Pibi took fantastic care of us again!

Pibi is amazing between getting us at the airport, guiding us to great restaurants, and making us such a perfect breakfast each morning to have on our terrace.

Everything at Hotel Pibi Boreal was beautiful! A small neighborhood hotel at the end of the road the rooms overlook a beautiful jungle area. The owners were very welcoming and attentive with timely and courteous airport transfers - even at 4am. There was a minibar and in room coffee and I was even able to a get a warm sandwich since my travels meant I missed lunch. With nice clean bedding and a wonderful balcony it was a beautiful stopover at the end of a wonderful week.

Quite basic and ‘tired’ looking rooms. Cold water only in the sink for hand washing. Tepid shower and thin towels- It felt a bit like going back to back packing in our youth. Pick up and drop off from and to the airport was a nice bonus. Good breakfast and coffee. Good priced beer. It’s away from any shops/restaurants although cheap uber ride to down town is $5. Or you can order u er eats but this also felt like being a student again!The driving and traffic is terrible so not as convenient a location as it first seems for a one night stay between flights. The garden was great with a chance for seeing more birds but the early checkout of 10am and a feeling given of being obliged to leave the property with no access to facilities like you get with other hotels made for a long day waiting for late over night flight home. On a positive note the owner was happy to keep our luggage and meet us down town with the car to take us to the airport which took an element of stress away. With hindsight we wouldn’t chose this location for a night between flights due to the above points in future but all part of the experience of travel
