The street to get there is quite bumpy and inclined, although not a problem if you have a 4x4.

The property was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. They had laundry service which was super convenient. The owners were very friendly.

The hotel is up a very steep hill.

The room was big and well stocked with toiletries. Breakfast was delicious. Joaquín and María were unbelievably helpful, calling taxis, and helping me find people in the area. There's also an excellent restaurant around the corner.

Would have liked somewhere to sit outside It can be quite windy. We used white noise by our bedside on windy nights

The hosts were lovely people. Breakfasts were amazing

The hosts took care of us like we were their family, making sure all our transportation was arranged and even calling one of our guides. The breakfasts were delicious. The beds were comfortable and the room was cozy. It was a short walk into town. The uphill on the way back is steep but manageable.

Very hospitable hosts. Great breakfast cooked by the hosts. They had excellent coffee from their own coffee farm! We felt like at home for the 3-night stay.

The host family is so lovely! Even though we had some communication difficulties due to my lack of ability to speak Spanish, they were very helpful!

A very homy and cozy environment. The family that runs this place is extremely welcoming, thoughtful and helpful. They helped me book some tours, arrange travel accommodations etc. The best part was waking up to a big healthy and tasty breakfast every morning. Would definitely bring my family here

Bathroom has that ‘bathroom smell’ but is clean.

Very friendly owners in a fantastic location. Breakfast is cooked on demand and filling; I was there three nights and had three different breakfasts that were all delicious. Easy location close to the centre of town.

Maria and Jacquin could not be more helpful. They booked all our tours and transport for us. Breakfast was amazing. The coffee served at breakfast is harvested a local farm is the best I've ever had.

My friend and I had a great stay here. The owners are fantastic and are incredibly kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and very filling. They asked what types of activities we wanted to do and would set up shuttles that would pick us up from the lodge. They also organized a night tour for us, which was really fun. I loved the location, just a 10 minute walk outside the center, so it was peaceful. Heading the other way, it's a five minute walk to a great restaurant, produce market, large convenience store, and bakery. We didn't have a car and it was never a problem. I enjoyed Monteverde and my stay so much that I booked extra nights there and will be back in a few weeks as well. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting Monteverde.

How to get around to the different locations without a rental car, for a senior it would suck to have to walk up and down plus distances to travel. But we aren't hikers. Nothing to do with the lodge we stayed at.

Comfortable, clean and quite. Hosts were very nice and friendly. ACCOMMODATIONS for the rate was suberb. And the breakfasts served two thumbs 👍. Just beautifully!!

A true gem of a place! Located up the hill without any noise from the city center. Beautiful, well maintained house and property. My room was very comfortable and clean. The hosts are the sweetest couple, very accommodating and hospitable. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and respond to my needs. They prepare breakfast every morning and helped me with my transportation to the Santa Elena Reserve and Fortuna. It’s like living with your grandparents in the best possible way. I highly recommend this place; especially if you are looking for a home away from home and like to learn about true Costa Rican hospitality.

Joaquin and Mari were just so sweet and friendly and did everything they could to make our stay exceptional. They were helpful, caring and true hosts in every way. The breakfast was wonderful. The hotel was quiet and away from the busy roads, but easily walkable to town. I would definitely stay with them again.

It's a bed and breakfast owned by Joaquin and Maria, a couple of senior Ticos very friendly. They always try to help their best. 13 rooms but some are used from long term clients. It's a 5 mn walk from Monteverde center up a small hill. The room I occupied alone has a double bed and one single, was bright with a window looking to the garden, large and the double bed very comfortable. The large bathroom was also naturally well lit from the roof. Hot water. This room is well decorated with paintings from Maria herself. Strong Wi-Fi. There is no noise at all. No dogs, no cars. The breakfast is personally cooked by Joaquin and Maria. It's delicious. This house is completely clean from floor to ceiling. These lovely people can give some tips and help for transportation. Quality and price incredible. They told me they are renovating the family rooms, puting new windows.

Amazing hosts who made everything possible to make my stay pleasant. Rooms are comfy and come with no frills, food is very nice too and freshly prepared.

Location is in Santa Elena, a 10 min uphill walk from town. Furnishings a little dated. Room could use a lamp instead of bright ceiling light always on. Very limited parking on steep'ish short driveway - no problem for SUV 4x4, and I'm nitpicking. Otherwise, excellent service and good value.

Lovely retired Spanish couple hostesses. Very accommodating. Only Spanish speaking and other staff help with translations. Clean room and lots of towels. Good homemade breakfast of your choosing.

Some confusion with respect to the room booked vs room available.

The staff was really nice and kind, the place is 5 min walk from the little town center. Room was clean.
