Alberto was a very helpful host at all times, I appreciate every detail he had with us. Your property is very beautiful, cozy and offers different dynamics to do, I would definitely visit it again!

Milagro’s House

DeeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This place really is a gem in the hills overlooking the village of San Isidro de Penas Blancas. Perfect for families or individuals, International and domestic Costa Rican travellers, to stay put; or to tour mountains, valleys and rivers b/w the Arenal and Poas volcanos and end the day in comfort listening by the pool in the gardens to Exotic Birds and seeing grazing cattle and maybe the big iguana! Mila often shares meals, fruit, coffee and Costa Rican cooking tips. She often invites guests on ad hoc adventures. During those outings, I had animal sightings, including sloths and a parrot; beautiful lush mountain and valley scenery always; lots of water, night rain as well as visits to waterfalls, swims in many rivers and even the Pacific Ocean. The Apartment is airy and comfortable. An amazing mountain valley vista (heart) from my hours long perch on the main balcony morning and evening every day! Ask Mila about sourcing locally made cheese, the best artisan coffee and raw ca

Casita Don Simón, San Luis de Monteverde, Costa Rica

MattRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My daughter and I had a great stay at Elizabeth’s. It is quiet and off the beaten path. It is well removed from town, in a very beautiful and peaceful setting. Rainbows every day. Has everything you need and is indeed on the rustic side.

Book 2 Nights and Get a Free Hot Spring Day Pass

HollyRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Natascha was the best host! She met us as soon as we checked in, had the air conditioning on and the cabana cooled off. She was flexible with our breakfast time and provided a wonderful typical local meal. We got a free pass to one of the local hot springs so we could compare with a more touristy one. She collected our laundry one morning and washed and dried it by the time we came back a few hours later. She even showed us a nest with a baby clay-colored thrush and momma. Natascha was wonderfully responsive, spoke English with us, and was very friendly. I highly recommend staying at her place!

Globi Lodge #5

DinahRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The apartment is nice and roomy and Flory was quick to answer and very helpful, especially with recommending a shuttle to the reserve because there is no Uber in Monteverde and we don't have a car. Good restaurants and some shops are in walking distance.

Cabin near La Fortuna, full WIFI

KasiaRating, 5 stars63 months ago

Silvia was a wonderful host and the local groundskeepers were lovely as well. Silvia went above and beyond, helping us to communicate to the airline regarding our luggage that didnt arrive. the place was exactly as posted and an amazing value, and was perfect for what we needed. it was wonderfully located from all the sights, and perfectly secluded for our family with little kids. We would love to stay here again when we come back to Cosra Rica!

Private room in Monteverde

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I can only recommend A very good hostel with large bedroom and clean bathroom. Staff is very nice and the price-performance is great. The only criticism is the toilet paper that was really the thinnest toilet paper I have ever seen.

Room for 4 people in Hostel Cattleya

MariaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

My friends and I had a great time at Cattleya. Everyone wa so nice and friendly. The kitchen was very well-stocked. We loved the hammocks! The area is a bit industrial so you may hear some noise in the morning but after all, you are at a hostel and it’s not always peaceful anyway haha. We really did enjoy our time and recommend the place to anyone wanting the true Monteverde experience!

Sunset cabin

DaanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The room was clean, the WiFi speed was not very high, but that’s not what the accommodation is for. The accommodation is meant to really enjoy the nature and the view, and oh did we enjoy the view, it was truly splendid! Not only did all the hosts provide me with a genuine friendliness, as soon as a problem arose they took a proactive approach and solved the issue within minutes. Really felt like this place was like a home for a night, would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Monteverde area.
