A wonderful hotel. Basic and clean room. Lots of hot water in shower. Fabulous breakfast buffet by the pool, watching the birds. Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful setting with many types of flowers and birds. Different places to sit and relax. Great location, close to the centre of town, which is great for travellers without cars Excellent value for the money!

Room was clean, had a safe, pool was a good size, breakfast included was good and the free entrance to the hot springs at their sister hotel Volcano Lodge was a nice plus. Front desk and breakfast staff were quite lovely, we enjoyed our stay. I'm a light sleeper so I was awaken when someone was checking out around 6am but my room was next to the entrance so theres that! We would stay again :) close proximity to everything was great.

8/10 Very good

Bosco Inn was well located. It was clean and comfortable. We were able to get room for 3, with 3 beds. Breakfast was delicious! Added plus we were able to go to use Thermal pools at their sister property- Volcano Lodge, for free. That was great!

Loved this little gem. Such a good price for an old but well maintained and comfortable stay. Great pool and breakfast, amazing location in town and loved the access to sister property. Went there every night! The street traffic can be a little noisy. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff was excellent. The rooms are VERY loud from the noise in the area...and it goes all night long. I would suggest more than just a thin sheet for the beds as well.

If you only stay in upscale 5 star - this isn't your accommodation type. The rooms have old carpeted floors so wear your shoes. Other than that- beds were comfortable and everything was clean, there is coffee and tea available 24/7 and a small bottle if wine to welcome you. Breakfast is included and it was delicious. You can use their sister property with hot spring pools free of charge and they will even lend you a towel! The place has an area to shower and change for guests from San Bosco.

For the price, this is a nice little hotel with very friendly staff, right in the middle of town. The room was simple and clean, nothing fancy. And we spent an evening at the hot springs of their sister hotel. It was perfect for what we needed, no complaints.

Very nice property just meters from downtown area. Easy to access restaurants and shops. There was access to a sister property that had hotsprings that we didn’t, take advantage of.
