We stayed one night after 2 nights at Monteverde Biosphere Lodge. We recommend this lodge for anyone wishing to visit the surrounding attractions. The morning breakfast was very good. The owner arranged trips and bus pickups to Don Jaun coffee tour (very good) and the Selvatura Park for zip lining and the hanging bridges. He also provided a nice selection... More

We have only spent one night in this hotel, but we can definitely say it is a very good place at very high value for money. It was quiet and confortable, and moreover the manager is the kindest we have met in Costa Rica, very helpful, seeking that everything is confortable.

It was a great hotel. Clean. Food was delicious. It was just the perfect place to stay while visiting this phenomenal area. What made the place even better was the staff. I do not think I have ever stayed at a hotel before where everyone did everything possible to ensure we were comfortable.

My Husband and I stayed here for two nights on the first leg of our 10 day adventure/honeymoon. We chose this hotel based on the reviews on TripAdvisor, so thanks everyone for being so honest about this charmer!

Our group of 4 friends and family just came back from a one night stay at the Rustic Lodge while visiting the beautiful Monteverde Cloud Forest. It was Jose, our host at the hotel, who helped make this trip so amazing. He gave us clear driving directions from Liberia, organized 4 tours, all with excellent guides, had great restaurant recommendations,... More

I stayed for two nights in early April and loved how helpful and accomodating the staff was. I arrived about 5pm and was served tea while the host described all the options of things to do and places to go. He also booked all my activities and my transport back to Liberia. They could not have done more to make... More

We stayed in the Monteverde Rustic Lodge on our honeymoon in August 2012. We traveled around the country and lot and stayed in several places, and the Lodge was really very wonderful. We were upgraded, which is of course always very lovely - but even the other rooms were also great. The room was very comfortable, with a much nicer... More

We stayed 2 days at the Lodge and the staff was extremely friendly and helpfu. The breakfast and coffee was excellent. They helped us book a Night wildlife tour and zipline tour which were both great.

We stayed 3 days and 2 nights at the Rustic Lodge. Jose and the staff were awesome - we arrived hungry and tired in the middle of the afternoon and wanted a nice meal. Most of the restaurants opened at 5, Jose called a friend and got us a table at 3:30 for an awesome meal. The room was very... More

Traveled Costa Rica with a friend in February 2013. Jose was incredibly helpful and accommodating, recommended the coffee/chocolate tour the afternoon we got in. We were skeptical, but it was awesome! He also helped to arrange a local shuttle service to get to Manuel Antonio, which can be tricky to get to on a budget. Not only did he hug... More
