Terida Airport B&B

The greeter was cold from the start, and I had to ask him to take our bags. In the room, we found dirt, hair, and crusted stains on the bedding. The cleaner was very kind and remade the bed for us. Later, I sent the owner, Adriana, a photo of a crusted, dirty towel we found in the room, because I wanted to avoid the $10 fee under the policy. At 9 pm, she kicked us out of the hotel. We were threatened and told we had five minutes to pack and leave. When we asked for more time to find somewhere else, she yelled at us to get off the premises. It was the worst experience I've ever had.

A safe, quiet place, and a great spot for arrivals or departures. The owners were welcoming and gave us information about safety and traffic jams. They also let us leave our backpacks while we went to San Jose. The rooms were clean, and the compound has a beautiful garden and kitchen with everything you need. You can hear some aircraft noise, so light sleepers may want earplugs.

We found a much better place in the end, so I'm satisfied to leave this review. I booked through booking.com and asked the owner if I could check in earlier, but not before the 4 pm check-in time. I was arriving several hours before my friend, at 8:30 pm, and thought I could rest before picking her up from the airport. Her response to a simple request was the rudest I've ever received. I think she probably misunderstood what I was asking. After I told her she seemed triggered by the request, she said not to show up, pointed out that she was the owner, and canceled my reservation. I had no intention of going there after that kind of interaction. Be careful if they ask for your credit card through booking.com. They place a hold on it, usually in case the person booking cancels at the last minute. They don't charge you, but if someone like this cancels on you at the last minute, you can still be charged a $20 fee when the hotel cancels. Then you have to find another place and try to get your money back. I'd never heard of this before. It seemed sketchy. Thank God we found a much better place, and it was only a $20 fee.

The owner arranged an early morning transfer for me, which made this ideal for my stay. I arrived at 6 pm after a long-haul flight and had to leave at 3 am for another flight. It was easy for the taxi to drop me off, and the room was clean and comfortable. Thank you.
