Was farther than realized from main town but still was able to walk there. Breakfast was great. Freddy and family were very nice.

Place is super nice! I liked the fact, that is not in the busy center and you can walk there in a few minutes. The staff is really sweet and helpful. It definitely had the best and most beautiful :) breakfast I had in Costa Rica! My favorite place during this journey!

Nice family owned B&B. Location of the B&B was quite close to the city centre and all the parks nearby. Breakfast was delicious, a good range of options to choose from.

The bathroom could use a remodel as water wasn't draining around the sink and there is no shower fan. Also, our room (#3) was very close to the street and traffic noise from cars and motorcycles outside was very noticeable. I would recommend Freddy's place for solo travelers or couples looking for an inexpensive place for a short term stay.

Freddy is a wonderful host and made us feel welcome during our entire stay. He or another family member was always there when we needed something, e.g. hot water for tea, utensils, etc. Freddy gave us insider tips for things to see and do in the Monteverde area. He called ahead and made reservations (including shuttle pickup) for zip lining at the national park the very next morning. The Wifi was fast and reliable. And the breakfast every morning was an absolute delight, with fresh fruit and a choice of (huge) pancakes, a hot breakfast wrap, or eggs any way you want, all nicely decorated and a visual treat as well. Additionally, there is street parking if you're traveling by car. Several restaurants nearby are within walking distance if you don't mind climbing up/down a steep hill.

Freddy is such a lovely man - kind, friendly and prepared to go out of his way to make our stay the best possible. He got up early to make breakfast in time for our early tours and accommodated a vegan diet. He moved our rooms so the two couples in our party could be next door to eachother. The location works well, with a short walk into town.

The hotel has only 2 parking spaces - when full, we had to park on the street, which wasn't convenient. The rooms need renovations. Water pressure in the rooms was low. The city center is only about 1 km down the road, however, as the hotel is on the top of a steep hill, getting back by foot is challenging.

When we arrived, the property's owner, who speaks English, was not there. Instead. a family friend was at the reception. Her English was excellent and she helped with everything we needed and wanted to do. The rest of the staff were very friendly, but they didn't speak English. Our rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was nice and good. The rooms have refrigerators, which was very convenient.

Staff fantastic helpful Breakfast very good

The only small issues were that the room door was very difficult to lock from the inside, and the toilet seat was a bit unstable. Otherwise, for a budget accommodation it was excellent

Lovely room, very nice breakfast and Freddy and his family were so friendly and welcoming

The dedicated staff and the warm, hearty breakfast truly make a difference.

We liked that it was family owned and run. Let us arrive and check in early…very welcoming. Provided a place to park our rental car right out front and the breakfast choices were amazing. Close to town and amenities.

Its a great place for people looking for piece and quiet. Rules are a little narrower than I am used to

Nice location, lovely proprietor, well kept with good breakfast

The rooms were fine, but were a little bit tired around the edges

Great breakfast and friendly helpful staff who were able to help us sort transport to the Cloud Forest Reserve. Just a short (but hilly) walk into Santa Elena.

Bathroom and no where to store items

Freddy’s is at the top of a steep hill. If you have a car or are doing tours that pick you up (almost all of them), then no problem. It’s really just a consideration if you are walking into town a lot.

So many great things at Freddy’s! The family is super helpful and helped us book activities and dry our clothes when we got caught in the rain. The breakfast is delicious and made to order. We loved the banana pancakes!

The TV could have had more channels.

The people working that were very nice and helpful.

Our stay at Freddy’s B&B was great, the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the staff always really friendly.

This is a great place to spend a few nights in monteverde, it would be easier with a car as it's up a hill from Santa Elena but there's plenty of cheap taxis if not. Freddy was a great host, helped us with anything we asked and the breakfast was a really good quality. Miles better than most hotels

Stayed in May 2024

It was clean, in a good location, the beds were comfortable and the food and service fantastic.

A suggestion might be to have another mirror not just in the bathroom & a screen in the bathroom so bugs don’t get in.

Location to town was fantastic. The decor in the rooms was very cute & nice and clean. Freddy & wife were very kind hosts & the breakfasts provided were very good!

Great location and he gave us great recommendations. We can't think of anything negative for the price here.

Fantastic breakfast and extremely kind, honest, helpful owner. One member of our group left his wallet at the hotel and Freddy sent it all the way to Samara. When we said we didn't know how to pay him, he said it's okay if you can't find a way to pay me. You can just give the money to someone who needs it or to a church. This is a very good man!

Needs updating. On very noisy/busy street. Minimal air movement in the room we were in, fan would’ve been nice.

Friendly and warm welcome. Delicious breakfast plated beautifully. Easy walk into the town and short drive to lord of activities.

Our only issue was the motorcycles zipping by at all hours and the discotech playing loud music until late. However, we were there during Semana Santa (Holy Week/Easter weekend), which is a big celebration weekend, so it was probably noisier than usual.

Freddy is wonderful! He was so inviting and helpful and gave us great recommendations for night tours and places to eat. He even greated us with some much needed coffee. The room was bright and clean and cool. I loved the little sitting areas on the balcony. The breakfast in the morning was not just beautifully presented, but tasted AMAZING and the coffee is fantastic! It's off the main drag, but still very close to shops and restaurants. Bonus: There's an emerald toucan nest in the trees across from his property. If you see a little hole in one of the trees by the fence, take a minute to watch. You might just see a few!
