10/10 Exceptional

This is a 10/10 hotel. The staff is beyond kind and goes out their way to help. The reception spoke perfect English and went above and beyond to help me after a mix up of dates. Upon arrival- I was very impressed with the room size and decor. I have been to many 5 star hotel and the room size, comfort and quality was below this hotel. The rooms are huge with high ceiling and good AC. The shower pressure was the best throughout the hotels I have stayed in Costa Rica and the hot water worked well. Do not let the cheap price fool you. This is a 5 star hotel for its comfort and best of all its 10 mins away from the international airport.

The neighbors rooster woke us up a couple times in the night, but the hotel itself and staff were perfect. It was just what we needed and happened to be right next to our car rental place (Payless).

While Karao Hotel may offer budget nightly stays, it offers amazingly large rooms, close vicinity to the Liberia airport, public bus directory in front of Karao, and extraordinary professionally brewed coffee shop and breakfast meals. The (made on premises) breakfast items are inexpensive and high quality. Hope you will enjoy my recent photos of these delights, my companion and I stayed twice in December 2025. Perfect in every way.

Room, no water or toilet for 3 hours late at night. Zero amenities. No soap. Filthy floor. Our main suite did not lock. Dark and dingy. Not sure if AC was working at all. Owner did not respond to text. It didnt tell us room was on 3rd floor with no elevator. Wi fi quite fast. Shower flash heater works well after waiting for 3 hours

Room was not ready when we came and it was already 3:30 pm. The place also had no water running or A/C and very dangerous so we had to book another hotel since it wasn’t livable.

2/10 Poor

It was not very nice experience. To get to the place it was an adventure. There is not signal to be a hotel, there was a lot stairs to climb and we have a senior with disability. To leave next day to the airport, it was very difficult to get a taxi. Overall, a terrible experience. I will not recommend for people with a lot luggage and seniors.

2/10 Poor

There was no way to lock the doors, there was food ans dirt piled in the common areas, someone has slept in my bed without even making the bed, other people has left empty food containers in my room. I left and got a new reservation. I will be seeking a refund from Expedia.
Bed not made up.

Exceptionally clean, quaint. Very spacious rooms available! Attached to Hotel Karao is quaint Coffee Shop Karao, Small outdoor patio, great coffee and wonderful Chocolate Banana Bread and many other baked breakfast food items. Bottled water, Front Desk and coffee shop staffed 7am-5pm. Check in 24/7, but you will be given code to retrieve room keys after about 5 pm. Phone number of local owners to help is posted if you have an issue. Staff was exceptional and friendly. Very clean and attentive. Amazingly responsive in helping contact Taxi and shuttles - even less expensive bus service right out front. Karao Hotel is a budget stay that’s clean with attached coffee shop and treats, This is great place on a quaint, small scale! Yes a rooster nearby announcing sunrise early. I loved it - great rural feel but 5 minutes from airport. We plan to stay again night before we fly out next week.
