There were lots of birds in the vegetation surrounding the lodge

It is a bit out of maintanance. TV holder, no TV, 2 outside lights, one works, outside wall cabine is missing well...wall.

The service from the owner and his brother. Great people, out to help!

Lovely owners, spacious room and a great hot shower. Hummingbirds and Tucans and a sweet cat are just outside the room. The cabin could need a makeover as everything look a bit old. The balustrade outside is too loose and there is nowhere to hang your cloths. Great location to start many adventures! Breakfast at the nearby Restaurant (Ginger) was nice and the boys there helped a lot with arranging trips

The interior of the bungalow could use some updates but nothing major. There’s a safety box inside but it wasn’t working & neither was the shower soap pump.

The jungle feel, the beautiful colors of the plants, the quietness, sounds of the different birds throughout the day. Loved the high wood ceiling & it was very clean every day. Kind staff, the entire family was super nice to us!

Breakfast was average and not worth the additional charge.

Room was spacious and patio provided good privacy. Room was very well cleaned. There was a reasonable minimart and very nice cafe near by.

Super friendly . Lots of mosquitos and hard to keep them out once they got in

Spacious, clean and comfortable. Good breakfast optional at extra charge. Nice gardens with birds. Lovely helpful couple who clearly wanted to please. We felt this was a really authentic experience with a Costa Rican family living within the grounds. It’s a little way from the centre, which we liked - there is a nice restaurant, a bar and small supermarket very close by and we used Ubers to reach the reserves and thermal spa. Shuttles (Monteverde, San Jose), pick up and drop off there no problem.

I think a little more attention to the areas that are not obvious. Cobwebs behind headboard area. I also think that it would be great if the tv's were updated to smart t.v.s. They didn't work at all, no cable, no nothing. No breakfast offerings so I think the listing just needs to be updated. This is a family business and the mother cooked breakfast from what I've read in reviews however this was not an option. I get it, things happen but if it's not an option I believe the guest needs to know ahead of time or the listing needs to be updated.

Overall this is a great place to stay. There are five cabins so it is perfect for a family/group gathering as you can book all of the cabins. My family of six booked two cabins side by side. I was welcomed and my overall experience was very positive. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning and bird-watching. It is a peaceful environment.

The location was perfect! We loved being outside of town but within walking distance of restaurants/market. Customer service was prompt and friendly.

Nice location away from the hustle and bustle of town. Lots of birds and beautiful gardens surround the cabins and make it feel very private.

Minor thing: the Lodge is close to a local road, but it is not very busy, so one can easily walk along

What I have appreciated the most is the very human approach by the lovely couple - Adrian and Irene - who manages the place. Both are very helpful and attentive, and they spared no effort to make my stay comfortable. I thank them wholeheartedly! The room is spacious, clean, with a mini-fridge (practical) and a little terrace just in front, all bathed in a well-cared for garden. I will definitely be back again if I happen to be in La Fortuna one day!

Our cabin needed more off the ground shelving for bags etc. As beautiful as the flora around the cabins is, a bit of a trim would let the sun in and allow the cabins to feel less damp.

The hosts were lovely, very helpful and there are 2 excellent restaurants just down the road.

Beter pillow please

Expensive

I did not like the gap between the front doors and floor. Some creature can get inside.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They answered all our questions and made reservations for several excursions we wanted to do. The room was also excellent and spacious. I’d recommend Selvita Lodge to anyone visiting the area.

Way too expensive for what it offers. I could hear mice in the roof and walls all night long.

Clean rooms, good shower

Nada

Good cook. Tasty food. Plenty of it

Everything was ok and about what we expected for the price, less than $100 per night, no specific dislikes.

This was a pretty good deal for the price. We enjoyed a private cabin and the close proximity to town, to tours, and to parks.

Stayed in February 2023

The accommodations were very basic. The TV reception was poor. The towels were worn. It was very noisy during the inevitable La Fortuna rain at night.

The location out of the main town was attractive to us.

I have never been before and don't speak great Spanish so felt quite cut off

The family are super sweet and helpful. My Spanish is minimal and children who do speak Spanish decided to be mute. Do much head shaking. Really safe and friendly.

sweet private cabins, comfortable beds, wonderful staff, very safe

Family run lodges near town but not too close. The property is beautiful with many birds and plants. The accommodations are basic but you have everything you need. AC works great and the breakfast is good. The family is very nice and welcoming!

I was satisfied with everything. It is not luxurious but clean, spacious and in a quiet location.

The hosts are very nice and helpful. The houses are not in the center of Fortuna but very close and you are far away from the noise but close enough to everything. Great restaurants are walking distance. Our group felt safe. "
