By no means is this lodge a luxurious or fancy hotel to stay. It is very simple, log like cabins to stay in. However, the value as the price is extremely reasonable and the excellent service makes the stay worth it. I am very particular about cleanliness and our room was beyond clean. When we walked into our cabin daily... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! From the moment we walked into the lobby, we were greeted by the friendly staff. Fresh coffee and lemonade were brought to our spacious room. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The owners are friendly, kind and helpful. They arranged for a tour of the Don Juan coffee plantation (excellent) and the Monteverde Cloud... More

There are a lot of small properties in Santa Elena and this was an excellent choice. Heiner and Ana are wonderful hosts. They are informative and helpful with trip planning. Heiner found us a really good guide for the Monteverde Reserve. Ana makes a great breakfast. Together, they provide comfortable, clean and well-furnished lodgings at a reasonable price. The Lodge...

The staff made the stay memorable. You cannot ask for nicer, more helpful people than this hotel. The breakfast was made to order with a wonderful fruit plate. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The walk into town was a little long but we could get just about anywhere in town for 2000 coloni ($4) in a cab. The... More

We stayed as a family with 2 boys here a couple of days in February this year and it was lovely! Very clean rooms and bathroom. Good breakfast with lots of fresh fruit. It was quite chilly in Monte Verde after having spent many weeks on the coast but is was lovely to be welcomed by warm chocolate milk, tea... More

Quick synopsis: I live in Costa Rica. If you don't stay here, one of three things will happen: 1. You'll pay WAY more for a luxury resort/spa; 2. you'll pay more for less (this place is priced below its value); 3. you'll pay less and get much less (e.g., hostel-like atmosphere, surrounded by stores/restaurants, sharing a shower, etc). If you... More

We were 3 famililies which stayed for one night. It was by far the best service we received on our 10 day tip. Heiner set us up with a night tour which we thoroughly enjoyed. The breakfast was amazing because of the quality and Heiners service. The cabins had everything we needed and were far enough away from town to... More

The people who run the b&b are lovely. however, several of the rooms have a terrible fecal smell. They need to fix the septic tanks. Our room had ants in bathroom. Room was small and rustic. Taxi to town easy to get and cost about thee dollars.

Extremely nice, recently constructed lodge. Clean, comfortable and spacious. The owners (Haynner, Anna and their 4 year old son) are extremely conscientious and attentive. The breakfast was terrific, with many choices and lots of fresh fruit, in an attractive dining area. Short walk to town, or a $2 taxi ride. If you're heading for Santa Elena, this is a great... More
