    Room was extremely hot given no air conditioning and windows that did not open. Had to sleep with front door ajar for the night.

    Good option for one night stay in Monte Verde area.

    It was very good value for money. The host was AMAZING, she spoke perfect English, helped book taxis, book tours and did our laundry when requested in under 12 hours. The site is well kept and the room was sparkling. It was next to a supermarket, the best burger van and only a 20 min walk into the main town. Absolutely nothing bad to report! Thank you for having us !

    It was clean and the building with the rooms is beautiful from the outside with hammocks to use. The office was very helpful to organise zip line activities.

    - A bit loud in the morning (rooster, close to main road) - It's quite far away from the town center. With a car this is no problem though.

    - Very good value for money - Nice room, shower with hot water - Common kitchen - Special tip: Look for the fireflies in the tree behind the house (;

    We reserved breakfast for the 1st morning. Nobody informed us in the previous night that the kitchen closed at 9am. Then on the day, a WhatsApp was sent at 8:30am informing about the kitchen closing time, but we only saw it at 9am. We arrived at the breakfast area at 9:05 and they mentioned the kitchen was closed and the breakfast couldn’t be served anymore. That’s a shame as we expected a bit more flexibility.

    The room was very clean. Also, when we arrived, Pablo (staff) was super friendly and helpful with all kinds of information (paid tours, free walks, places to eat, etc). 5 stars to his professionalism.

    Our room wasn't cleaned or tidied the whole 3 nights we were there which would have been nice (particularly emptying the bathroom bin to avoid bugs). The accomodation is a 20 minute walk into town which usg we didn't mind but it was difficult on very rainy days.

    The lady in reception was extremely helpful with booking tours. The kitchen was clean and the free coffee in the morning was a lovely touch.

    Rooms are next to the street, can get noisy and streets lamps and car headlights shine through the window all night long. Mattress was not comfortable.

    Good location if you come by car. Rooms are clean and spacious enough. Kitchen is sufficiently equipped.

    The lodge is about a 15 min walk from the center. The rooms are basic, but really fine for a few days and the hosts are amazing! Super nice and helpful. They offer a lot of recommendations for the area and one of the hosts even took me to watch a sunset 😍 The included breakfast is also good.

    Nice location just on the edge of town. Just a few minutes walk to restaurants and shops. Lots of birds in the hotel grounds and, on clear days, a view of the volcano.

    Hardly slept due to the strong winds as we was on the top floor and at the end but this is common in Monteverde, just bring some earplugs! Location is a bit out of the way from the main town however not far from a great sunset spot just down the road.

    Was a good value for money, cheap stay and was comfortable enough with plenty of beds inside the room! The communal kitchen was well equipped and really big. Staff was also very helpful & friendly. There’s a big supermarket just 5 mins down the road & amazing burger food truck with good prices called La Ventanita De Mendez - highly recommend!
