Great stop---Lise and Rolf were wonderful hostesses. Kind and welcoming, helped us find a great restaurant, and any other directions that we needed. Rooms were clean and we woke up to a wonderful breakfast made by them. Only stayed one night but it was a great stop!

We booked only one night, and wish we could have booked more, but our travel plans could not accommodate it. Lise and Rolf were very warm and engaging. Great food and comfort. Wonderful birds. It was the perfect stop after driving through the mountains from San Jose.

We stayed here for 4 nights in February 2013. It was our last stop in a two-week trip to Costa Rica. Our goal was to be surrounded with birds and nature -- we were not disappointed. We had 6 species of hummingbirds within an hour of arriving -- and by the time we left we tallied a total of 14... More

The Bosque del tolomuco is a place to discover. Lise and Rolf were gracious hosts, concerned about the well-being of their guests. The layout of the site, gardens, pool, flowers, birds and chalets in this unique setting of cloud forest, make you want to come back regularly. Lise is very good advisor for traveling around. The trails are very well... More

We love to stay with Lise and Rolf, and not just because the birding is so remarkable. The accommodations are pristine and beautiful, the trails are scrupulously maintained and there are a lot of options for hiking, and the food is delicious. What's more, the company, the wisdom, the stories coming from this remarkable couple are enough to make the... More

Rolf and Lise are the best! Their hospitality was top notch. Lise is a great cook and makes the best gallo pinto in Costa Rica ... I tried it at just about every restaurant (even gave it a shot at McDonalds). Quiet and great hiking trails - they have a great setup!

The Tolomuco is an excellent place for just relaxing and for birding. When we arrived we saw at least 7 species of birds (including 3 hummingbirds within 5 minutes. The rooms are very nice, modern and comfortable. At this elevation neither fans nor airco are necessary. Lise had just gotten out of the hospital so was unable to prepare dinners,... More

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. It was a gorgeous spot, and the owners are amazing. We enjoyed hiking, bird watching, delicious meals, and some poolside relaxation. I highly recommend it. Our room was clean, and comfortable. We look forward to going back.
