    I liked everything. The place is a bit far if you don't have a car, and it would've been great if they'd offered breakfast, although to be fair, the room came with a kitchen, so I could've prepared it myself. We ended up going to town instead.

    The place was great! It exceeded my expectations, very pretty, well-maintained, and with many birds. The swimming pool was also great, and having a little garden in front of the volcano was a plus (although it was raining, so we couldn't see it, still, you feel amazed by the nature surrounding you.

    The shower could be a bit better (but that is a tiny problem).

    Excellent location in La Fortuna, joungle sounds but no sounds from the streets. Very friendly owner. Beautiful garden and….the Arenal view. I highly recommend. :-)

    Very quiet location away from the hustle of Fortuna the property has only 3 bungalow which makes it very relaxed. We were two couples and very much enjoyed sitting on the terrace with a view on the volcano or chilling in the pool after a day of activities You definite need a car as it is a 5-10 minutes drive into the city centre The bungalows have some kitchen equipment to make breakfast or cook something simple. Dogs are allowed

    I loved everything about this place! Beautiful view of the volcano, beautiful garden, beautiful birds, including toucans very close by. Pool with waterfall was relaxing as was the swing seat on the porch. Close enough to get around La Fortuna and Arenal. Highly recommend!!

    The property next door had some noisy guests, but that's not something Chongos can do anything about. Other than that, there was nothing we didn't like.

    The location was perfect for us. Off the beaten path a bit with no traffic noise whatsoever. Being just 2 miles from the base of the volcano was spectacular, unmatched views. The covered porch was a huge asset as you could enjoy the sights and sounds even when it was raining. The host, Diana, was fantastic. Very friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had.

    Lacking hot water in shower, no screens on windows so had to run the ac at night. Room smelled like mold but we couldn’t open the windows at night to air it out.

    The view is amazing. The staff is lovely and helpful. It was clean, the pool was nice, and the garden was great. Loved the little casita, and the location was walking distance to town but quiet.

    It is on the small side. The kitchen should have had oil, salt and pepper provided. No microwave.

    This little place was very nice. Only three bungalows, and a friendly host. There's a mini-kitchenette where you can do some basic cooking. Very close to the main drag that runs through town and not far from the waterfall.

    A bit far from the main road and center of La fortuna. Recommended to have a car or use Uber, as streets can be very dark at night. Otherwise, lovely comfortable short stay.

    Lovely staff right on the foothills of Arenal Volcano. Beautiful little cabin set up, authentic feeling.

    Certainly a little more consideration given to the quality and amount of kitchen cutlery. The basics should include a real spatula not a wooden toy, more knives spoons, forks. MICROWAVE. OVEN A MUST. NOTE: The outdoor furniture in the middle cabin had 2 damaged torn seats. I won't dare sit in them.

    The excellent view ! Beautiful country. Pool was quite refreshing. Staff friendly courteous. Loved the air conditioning. Comfy beds.

    Gravel road to get to the hotel is a little bumpy and uber drivers have a difficult time finding the place - you have to tell them to turn right after the mini super. Lack of cellphone signal.

    Amazing view of the volcano, well equipped self sufficient cabin with kitchen, clean and thoughtful room, coffee included, kind staff, tv has streaming services included, all comforts like hot water, AC, and wifi work well.
