Guest Reviews
- Debra (10/5): Absolutely beautiful location with the nicest most helpful people! Really loved this location - Breakfast was delicious and served in the greatest outdoor kitchen! I cannot think of anything
- Marci (10/5): Couldn't imagine a more perfect "almost treehouse" with a view in the rainforest! - We absolutely loved this house. The location felt private and like a treehouse in the rainforest with huge windows and open space! We could sit on the porch and watch for birds, listen to the monkeys in the distance and saw several white nose coatis! Daniela took very good care of us and greeted us with a lovely loaf of banana bread which felt very special. The breakfast was delicious and we loved that you could order in advance and make a timed reservation for it. We also loved the obvious detail and care of the home with loads of unique furniture.
- quentin (9/5): Très belle maison, mais un rapport qualité-prix qui reste élevé. - L’hôtel est très bien équipé, avec une magnifique vue, de grands espaces, une chambre spacieuse et une belle salle de bain. Tout le nécessaire pour la douche était fourni. Le grand plus : la présence d’une machine à laver et d’un sèche-linge, très pratique dans cette région, avec en plus les produits pour laver le linge. Nous étions 8 personnes mais il n’y avait que 6 fourchettes. Le matériel de cuisine était un peu limité et la vaisselle adaptée pour 8 personnes serait un vrai plus.
- Kristine (7/5): Spennende hus med nydelig utsikt - Et fantastisk hus, originalt og gjennomtenkt. God beliggenhet. Nydelig utsikt. Flott uteplass. Alt fungerte. Helt greit kjøkken å lage mat på. Rent. Hjelpsom og vennlig vert. Monteverde er nydelig! Vi syntes det var kaldt, særlig om morgenen (det var gode tepper til natten) enda vi hadde innesko og ganske varme klær. Det er jo veldig fuktig så det bidro nok til opplevelsen av lav temperatur. Veien til huset er humpete, det var greit for oss men ok å være obs på.
- Yan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ravirajan (10/5): Exceptionally relaxing stay in a beautifully maintained property, thanks to the host - Daniela is an exceptional host. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Daniela personally greeted us at the house upon check-in and provided a thorough orientation. The house was impeccably clean and situated in a very convenient location. We were delighted to observe monkeys, white-tailed coatis, and a diverse array of bird species right from the property. There was a minor issue with the credit card on file for the reservation being inaccessible to the host due to Booking.com's system
However, Daniela was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She graciously held onto our reservation despite the lack of a confirmed payment method. We then worked together to find a suitable alternative payment arrangement. Daniela's flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile truly ensured a smooth stay for us
- Lars (10/5): Exceptional - It is just an awesome hpuse with a stunning view frim the balcony in the jungle. Very good and comfy rooms and beds with a kitchen, where everything is included that you need. Daniela as the host was just wonderful and cared about us so much. Very good access to all activities but still on your own. All in all one of the best stays in Costa Rica. 100% recommandation..Once we aee back in this beautiful country ... this stay is a must !! Thank you ! Nothing at all. All perfect and way more what we have thought... a stunning surprise
- Sandeep (10/5): Fantastic place to stay. We were only here for one night but wished it could have been longer. -
- Katherine (10/5): A wonderful property in an amazing location. - Clear instructions as to how to find the accommodation down a very bumpy track. Host - Daniella - very friendly and helpful, arranged forest night tour for us. Amazing views and scenery - coatis coming right up to the house and onto the balcony! Property was very clean with great facilities. Walkable to restaurants - about 1.5km - need a torch at night. Highly recommend.
- Ambree (10/5): Beautiful secluded property close to town - The house is a work of art! The woodwork in the entire house is incredible. The rooms were comfortable and it had everything we needed. The location was perfect. Close to everything and also secluded. It was a little loud in the house with a full family but we were mostly there just to sleep.
- Paula (10/5): Beautiful house, very clean, very welcoming, lovely decor, quiet setting, wildlife and nature - Gorgeous location. We had one member of our family that is not able to walk far and he was thrilled to have such a beautiful view from the wraparound patio to enjoy. It is a little bit of a hike or drive to the rest of the town - so we had to plan our outings to ensure we also picked up groceries or take-out on a drive back in. Very secluded. Very peaceful. Truly the house fits 6 people - the daybed really didn't work very well for having one or two people sleep on it.
- Michael (10/5): So unique and really nice attention to detail. - We didnt have breakfast there but location was brilliant. Cushions on chairs outside. Having coffee milk or creamer would be nice and perhaps including breakfast would justify the price a bit more
- Alexander (10/5): we really enjoyed the stay - the view of the gulf, the spacious rooms, the woodwork, the staff
- Bettina (8/5): Very good - The view, the location in the forest The equipment in the kitchen were poor
- Kathryn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christopher (9/5): Great view and location - Easy check-in, great communication with staff, incredible view and location A bit chilly in the house
- Simon (10/5): The most perfect, unique, creative house in the most beautiful location. - This was literally the most amazin place I have ever stayed in. Its unreal. Aside from the location this is a truly one off opportunity to stay somewhere you will never get to be in again. DO NOT MISS OUT, we loved it. Ernesto was SUPER helpful before we arrived and nothing was too much trouble once we were there. Thanks so much!
