8/10 Very good

Room was clean and staff very helpful. The breakfast at the Fiscus hotel was very good . The area around the hotel is really neat - right in the forest . Felt like a cabin. Our only complaint would be the poor lighting in the room. Perhaps LED lights would brighten the room.
Val, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location being close to town but also in the forest. The property is well maintained, beautiful and full of wildlife, and the staff was incredibly hospitable and helpful. The room was simple but comfortable and very clean.

I had a great time here- the views and the cabin did not disappoint. We heard howler monkeys, and saw a few animals and variety of birds. The room was comfy and reception was very helpful explaining/planning the activities. Would stay again.

In middle of town so easy to get around, hotel felt like staying in rain forest was very authentic experience

10/10 Exceptional

Manfred made checking in easy and not a hassle what so ever. The rooms had a vibe of their own and the shower actually had some good pressure. You can hear howler monkeys both morning and night and feel submerged in the jungle

10/10 Exceptional

This was a lovely hotel that allowed us to submerge ourselves in the rainforest. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from our porch. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and happy hour was a hit. The staff were friendly and very helpful when needed. I would highly recommend this hotel for your next trip to Monteverde.

10/10 Exceptional

The greatest. Nicest staff, remote location with walking trails yet easily walkable to the center of Monteverde (which is a cool little mountain town). Getting there earns you triple traveler points.

It was quiet friendly and really walkable, older and very basic rooms but clean .

Jungle

Very cool little spot. Convenient location to walk to restaurants and shops.
Troy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay very much. The highlight was that the cabin was surrounded by nature and we felt like we were secluded in the jungle. We heard the howler monkeys at night and were delighted by many Coati foraging in the forest right in front of our cabin. There were even probably 20 baby ones! The Agoutis were also a delight. Breakfast at the Ficus hotel was excellent. The hotel was walkable to downtown.
Luanne, 2-night trip

Quiet, lots of nature. Friendly, professional, helpful staff. Excellent service.
zbigniew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property was right in the trees/jungle and we saw Howler monkeys, Capuchin monkeys, and Quatimundi right from our front porch. That was magical. It was noisy at night at times because of the wildlife, but still worth it. The place was clean, nice, and the people very helpful.
Anna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice cabin-style rooms in dense foliage, yet within a few blocks walking distance to: an excellent restaurant and craft cocktail bar (Natu Speakeasy), a fun leafy sportsbar with live entertainment (Tree House), and delicious coffee, sandwiches and pastries (at Zuccaro). The hotel bar, restaurant and breakfast area were also terrific. Special thanks to front desk receptionist Manfred who was so helpful in sharing ideas to explore that beautiful area. Definitely plan to return.

Great location in Monteverde

Perfect location very central in Monte Verde. Very helpful reception. Easy parking. Nice breakfast and a good bar /restaurant where you Can Watch the sunset.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing Stay at a True Costa Rican Paradise! I had the most incredible experience at this lodge! From the moment we arrived, the warm and attentive service made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and authentically Costa Rican. Every meal was a highlight! But the best part? Waking up to wild animals just steps outside our room. We spotted playful monkeys hanging out nearby. It was like staying in the heart of the rainforest! If you’re looking for a unique, immersive getaway with fantastic food and jungle food, this lodge is a must. I can’t wait to come back! Note: Our room did not have a TV or AC.

Amazing place

Amazing place right near the centre of Santa elena but also out the way. Bit annoying that breakfast was a 5 minute walk up hill. Saw agouti from our room. Suspension bridge is fun. Staff very friendly

Beautiful stay!

The location of the hotel is very nice. Everything is quite walkable distance from the room. The whole ambience of the hotel is amazing. Felt like living in the jungle. Absolutely brilliant and soothing. The room was quiet spacious however the bathroom was a bit small. Overall an amazing stay!

Jungle nature immersion

Perfect place in the forest. Feels very nature everywhere you walk. Nice path to go breakfast up the hill. So relaxing. Bathroom a bit outdated but clean overall.
Yanick, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very wonderful property. On our first morning there, we woke to the sounds of the howler monkeys! I saw a few on the property. We saw lots of wildlife, which is what we had been hoping for. The trails are beautiful. It felt very safe and the staff was wonderful. There is an easy walk to town for restuarants and shopping. This property was absolutely amazing!
Jodie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The setting is beautiful and the staff is wonderful. The room was in a beautiful jungle setting. The bed was not so good- I could feel the springs. There was no heat in the room. I found blankets for the second night. Breakfast was okay but not as good as other places I have stayed in CR
Armand, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room is clean and dark so good for sleeping. The walls are a bit thin if you are super sensitive to noise. You have to walk awhile for breakfast (but you could drive), so if you have an elderly person, it could be a bit of a walk! But the breakfast is pretty nice and the view is really nice. This is right in town. There’s a fun bridge to walk to for going to some of the rooms and nature is all around—you might see monkeys or toucans if you get up on the earlier side. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You will want to be friends with them!

Immersive Jungle Experience

This lodge isn’t for everyone, but for those whom it is well suited to it offers a wonderfully immersive rainforest experience. Our room was spacious and fairly comfortable and we felt very much like we were alone in the jungle while hotel and other amenities were very readily accessible. My only caution is that those with mobility issues could find accessing some of the rooms very challenging due to steep walkways that must be climbed to reach some cabins. There are several on the same level as the lobby/reception area, so if you aren’t comfortable with a pretty tough climb on sketchy sidewalks, in the dark, be sure to specify that. If you are able and a bit more intrepid, definitely go for the “full jungle experience”! All my attached photos were taken on the lodge grounds
