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.

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.

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.

We arrived "after hours" at the hotel, around 7:30PM. Instructions had been emailed about the keybox code to get the keys to our room. The keybox resides on the outside of the building, next to the front door. There were multiple sets of room keys in the box, but no communication had been made about which room was ours. We called the number posted, but were unable to get through to anyone. The front door to the hotel was not locked, allowing anyone access. The available parking ensures that your vehicle is visible and easily accessible from Ruta Nacional Primera 21, which is a busy road. After exploring a couple of different room options, with the multiple sets of keys, we went up to our room. The room was clean and the air conditioning worked, but the Wifi signal did not carry into the room, and there was no hot water.

We got multiple auto messages confirming our stay with check-in instructions and one message canceling our stay last minute and we arrived during a storm with no place to stay and all other surrounding hotels were fully booked. You should have called or stopped sending confirmation messages once you canceled. When your traveling in a country with spotty service it’s easy to overlook a single email among many canceling. You really left us vulnerable during a stressful travel time with a young child after a very long day of travel.

The rooms were nice looking and the attendant was helpful, but overall we regret staying here. The rooms were so hot we couldn't sleep until 2 am, as the AC took that long to cool the room. And there was so much noise. The plumbing made really loud noises all throughout the night. There were upper windows with no window coverings, right next to a light post, so the rooms were quite bright. There were several red ants in the room. I would recommend spending the extra $100 and trying the airport hotels.
