Review posted on behalf of student Olivia Tambasco (November 2024) During my time in Costa Rica, I had the privilege of staying with the sweetest host family, led by Mayela Badilla. From the moment I arrived, Mayela and her family made me feel comfortable, safe, and truly welcomed. Their warmth and kindness made me feel like I had gained a second family, and I know I will cherish this bond and stay in touch with them.

Mayela has a heart of gold and goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels cared for. Her daughter, Pillar, is equally incredible, and the connection they both create with their guests is unforgettable. If you're studying at UPEACE, I wholeheartedly recommend staying with Mayela and her family.

Their generosity, hospitality, and genuine care were the highlights of my trip. I am forever grateful for the kindness they showed me and feel so blessed to have met them. Mayela, Pillar, and their family are truly exceptional.

Mayela was an amazing, caring host who always looked out for us. She handled dietary restrictions well and asked for meal recommendations to ensure we got the best meals. She managed a group of 7 students extremely well and provided meals on the weekend. She was also flexible with the meal times when we asked her and washed our clothes with care. Overall, she was the perfect host and built a real relationship with each of us. Her family was very welcoming as well and made sure we adjusted well. 

Review posted on behalf of student Kayla Goltz (November 2024) I stayed with Mayela Badilla for three weeks from Oct 26 -Nov 16. She was an awesome host, the house was nice and comfy, the food was amazing. Even though she spoke no English, and I spoke no Spanish, I still really enjoyed talking to her and getting to know her and her family. She was so sweet and kind and always looked out for us.
