"Mini paradijs"

9.0

De locatie zelf, de tuin, de beekjes en de wandeling naar boven is echt een must. Het is een mini paradijs en de hosts zijn echt super vriendelijk! Het is alsof je bij famillie op bezoek komt met een overnachting. Verder is er onderaan de weg links een prima soda, Rancho La Cascada. Als je de wandeling doet vanaf Malekus Lodge? Doe het dan goed! Wij zijn 2 keer verkeerd gelopen omdat het bord wees naar links terwijl je eigenlijk rechtdoor moest. Ook zijn wij na het uitzicht over Nicaragua doorgelopen terwijl wij eigenlijk links het bos in moesten mogelijk naar een waterval? Hoe dan ook adviseren wij na dit uitzicht terug te lopen zeker als je geen laarzen hebt. Ons vermoeden is namelijk dat je 1 a 2 keer deels een rivier over moet steken. Maar goed we kunnen dit niet verifiëren. Ook zijn door de aardsverschuivingen een deel van de wegen weg maar goed dit was Juni 2026 (op een gedeelte waar we al te veel ver waren gelopen) en eigenlijk dus links het bos in moesten.

Tegenvallen is een groot woord maar er waren veel vliegende mieren en andere insecten op de badkamer. De hosts hebben de ruimte volledig schoongemaakt wat super lief was. Hierdoor waren alle insecten weg echter komen ze deels onder de voordeur weer naar binnen. Wij hebben de kieren gebarricadeerd met wat kleding en dit zorgde ervoor dat niks naar binnen kon komen. Als je dit meerdere dagen boekt en je doet dit niet? Dan moet je geen moeite hebben met insecten.

"Wow! Amazing Stay!"

10.0

First, the owners of this property are incredible people. They went out of their way to make my stay the most pleasant experience. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful, from fresh local fruit to empanadas to eggs and avocado. I was hiking the volcano nearby (which this place is an awesome location for Volcan Miravalles), and the owners woke up early just to make sure I was fed before my journey. Next, the property itself is so serene. The trees, birds, and tropical life all around was amazing. I was able to read a book by a little lake by myself. I will definitely be back to this property and to visit the owner Roger and his lovely wife. Thank you!!

Nada.

"Exceptional"

10.0

Als Zwischenstopp zum Nationalpark Rincón de la Vieja haben wir uns für diese Unterkunft entschieden und können es zu 100% weiterempfehlen! Roger ist sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Der Pool hat uns nach der Wanderung erfrischt, auch den Sonnenuntergang konnten wir von seinem Grundstück aus bewundern. Am nächsten Morgen haben wir ein sehr leckeres Frühstück erhalten!

"The best of Costa Rica!"

10.0

The time I spent at the Lodge was very relaxing, the grounds were beautiful and the food was excellent! My host, Roger and his wife Rosa made me feel very at home and welcomed. Rosa makes the best breakfast in Costa Rica! I forgot a ring that my father had given me and Roger went out of his way to send it back to me, thank you Roger! These are wonderful people! I plan on returning!

"Absolutely delightful!"

10.0

Malekus Mountain Lodge was absolutely lovely. Roger and Rosie went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They prepared a wonderful breakfast and were so, so friendly and gracious. Their property is gorgeous and the rooms are comfy. I particularly like the little walking path around the property and the fireplace that Roger helped me light in the common area. This place is an absolute gem and I would definitely stay there for longer next time and recommend it to others. Ps. If you need a hair dryer, just ask Roger. They don't have them in all the rooms, but they do have them. 😍 Thank you for the lovely stay, Roger and Rosie! 🙏❤️
