The hotel has very nice grounds and nice view, the closes place is Montanita which is about 10 minutes by bus. When I arrived I was the only guest. The help does not speak any English .
The owners are very nice. They come there for the weekend. I had problems with Mosquitos, no hot water. No water, and no electricity. The room I stayed in had very small windows. They have a great breakfast. You should come here only if you have a car

Great views from the hosteria
It is very quiet there, but it is close to Montanita and other small towns on the coast. Have to take a taxi or a bus to go into any towns. There is not much in the imediate area. If you like isolation and the country side it's a good place to go.
Al llegar al lugar me indicaron que ya no tenía reserva que tenían el local a tope desde hace 15 días... me devolvieron el valor de la reserva pero perdí 1 hora que pude haber disfrutado con mi familia
EL PRECIO DEMASIADO ALTO PARA EL TIPO DE HOSPEDAJE QUE ES

Un lugar sencillo y agradable
Viaje hasta San José (Olon) por el matrimonio de un familiar, por éste motivo, no permanecí mucho tiempo en Happy Hill, puedo expresar que el hostel se presenta con un entorno muy natural, amplios espacios, parqueos, wifi, dormi bien, me duche con agrado y desayune bien.
Muy buena relación costo - servicio. Desayuno excelente y abundante. Atención sobresaliente de los empleados. La vista desde el balcón para desayunar es muy agradable. Piscina siempre disponible y limpia.

Hotel para unos pocos días.
La verdad el hotel está en medio de un lugar agradable fuera del ruido de montañita y otros lugares pero la habitación podría estar mejor equipada, con mejor luz, el baño estaba bien, limpio. El lugar con una piscina en buen estado aunque podría mejorarse. También hay 2 perros uno muy grande pero súper tranquilos.

Muy caro para lo que es
Habia un raton en la habitacion y mi esposa le tiene panico. No pudimos dormir en toda la noche porque nos picaron las arañas que habian entre las sabanas, teniamos todas las piernas enronchadas de las picaduras. Nos ibamos a quedar dos noches, por suerte pagamos a la llegada solo una noche, porque en la mañana ya nos fuimos. Que por cierto, el precio me parecio muy caro.
Por el precio pense que era un hotel de mejores caracteristicas, la habitacion es basica solo tiene las camas y no hay muebles para poner el equipaje, el bano es de nivel econocmico, la limpieza no es buena, y los cubrecamas estaban sucios. Deberian mejorar totalmente. La ubicacion es buena.
si vous êtes amant de la nature dû pour une retraite fermé du monde c'est un endroit pour vous. Sinon, n'y pensez même pas. emplacement en retrait de tout.
pas de télévision, insectes qui entre dans la chambre par plusieurs ouvertures du toit, planchers sales,
piscine mal entretenu, déjeuner tres moyen
le seul point positif est la vue. De l'espace commun la vue sur l'ocean est extraordinaire.
Vi trivdes väldigt bra på Happy Hill. Det är ett lugnt hotell fint beläget uppe på en kulle med utsikt över havet. In till Montanita tar det ca 10 min med taxi. Vi var glada att vi inte bodde inne i Montanita där det är väldigt högljutt. Personalen på Happy Hill var jättetrevliga och vårt rum var rent och städat varje dag. Fina utrymmen för att sitta och njuta och även en härlig pool. Kan starkt rekommendera detta prisvärda hotell.
El lugar es hermoso, las instalaciones tambien se ven hermosas, pero por que tienen que mentir que estan en Montañita cuando en realidad estan a 3 pueblo o mas precisamente 17kms de Montañita?
