Guest Reviews

• Holly (9/5): Very comfortable stay at lovely family home - Very welcoming and kind hosts who have created a beautiful garden. We had such a good sleep at Casa Haydee and enjoyed the recommended bakery up the road for breakfast and a short stroll into town for dinner. All good
• Vinod (10/5): Very cozy place - Excellent property well maintained and host Haydee is a very sweet person Nothing
• Isabel (10/5): Toller Aufenthalt 🌱🌿 - Wir hatten eine absolut wundervolle Zeit in dieser Unterkunft. Schon bei der Ankunft wurden wir unglaublich herzlich empfangen und haben uns sofort willkommen gefühlt – ein echtes Highlight waren die selbstgemachten Zimtschnecken, die wir direkt probieren durften. Die Unterkunft selbst strahlt pures Pura-Vida-Feeling aus: ein wunderschöner, liebevoll gepflegter Garten, ein großzügiger Schlaf- und Essbereich. Praktisch fanden wir den Kühlschrank, in dem wir unsere Einkäufe lagern konnten. Die Betten waren super bequem und wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Alles war sehr sauber, gepflegt und liebevoll . Die Lage ist ideal als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in bzw. rund um Monteverde. In der direkten Umgebung gibt es zwar wenige, aber sehr gute Restaurants (unser unscheinbares Lieblingsrestaurant war das „Alisson Hotel & Restaurant) , eine tolle Bäckerei („TATYS Bakery - fußläufig 3 Minuten entfernt) und sogar einen kleinen Supermarkt – alles bequem erreichbar. Ein Parkplatz direkt an der Unterkunft ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Der Kontakt war sowohl vorab per WhatsApp als auch vor Ort super unkompliziert und einfach nur herzlich. Für uns war es ein rundum perfekter Aufenthalt – klare Empfehlung 🧡 Alles war für uns super. Gut zu wissen ist, dass die Unterkunft an einer Straße liegt, daher hört man gelegentlich Autos. Uns hat das jedoch nicht gestört, wir schlafen mit Oropax ;-)
• Guest (9/5): -
• Axinia (10/5): -
• Duell (10/5): Perfect stay in Monteverde! - Perfect location walking distance from shops and restaurants. It was spacious and comfortable. We were able to make breakfast each morning and sit outside to eat it watching humming birds. Haydee, the just, was wonderful. Nothing, it was perfect.
• Sonia (7/5): -
• Rocio (10/5): -
• Debargha (10/5): - Breakfast was not included, and we knew that going in. There are several food establishments close by. Finding the property was a bit challenging, but once found it met all our expectations. We loved everything.
• James (9/5): - Great apartment with well equipped kitchen, also had a dining table. Spacious room and lovely outdoor covered seating to watch the hummingbirds come and go. A sign on the outside of the property. They were building a new entrance at the time so there maybe one by now.
• Marguerite (10/5): Cozy,great location and clean - Lovely room with good bathroom, coffee,nice porch and garden plus the location allows to walk to restaurants. I have no complaints.
• Gwen (9/5): - Erg vriendelijke ontvangen door de eigenaresse. Accommodatie was erg schoon en heeft een goede ligging. Vlakbij restaurantjes. Het waaide enorm en daardoor was het koud in het huisje. Maar dat werd goed opgelost door extra dekens.
• Francisco (10/5): Como en tu propia casa - La ubicación es estupenda, dentro del pueblo de Santa Elena. La anfitriona y familia son personas excelentes que dan un trato cercano y te ayudan con consejos sobre qué ver o visitar. El pueblo en sí es un lugar super acogedor, como sus gentes, donde tienes infinidad de sitios para comer, desayunar, etc. Así como para visitar, aparte de las zonas de Reserva y atracciones.
• Jenny (10/5): - Beautiful garden to sit and watch the hummingbirds. Breakfast was lovely. This family run casa is very friendly.
• Lukas (9/5): Geweldig - Het mooie appartement en de aardige eigenaresse. We mochten ook de keuken gebruiken. Niets.
• Pazit (10/5): I recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Monteverde!! - It’s in a perfect location! The host is super nice. The place is very clean, beautiful and comfortable, and close to all attractions. There was no kitchen so it was hard to prepare quick meals for the kids.
• Jennifer (9/5): perfect place to explore the region - easy access to all things Monteverde. restaurants within short walking distance which was helpful during the downpours. Veranda and house dog made hanging outside lovely. since no breakfast anymore, a bit more of a functional kitchen would have been nice.
• Merav (10/5): Exceptional - Location was a beauty host ver helpful, room was big and very clean close to all activities and restaurants beds were a dream so comfortable and shower was big
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional - Cutest little cottage with magical porch and garden space. Immaculately kept, with all amenities. Hummingbirds on the porch. Perfect location, steps from restaurants. Quiet. Super friendly and helpful host. Highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer.
• Fernanda (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Samo (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay was fantastic! The room was incredibly spacious, cozy, and well-maintained, providing a perfect retreat. The hosts were exceptionally kind and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. Their beautiful garden added to the charm, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious, and the beds were large and very comfortable. Overall, a wonderful experience – highly recommend!
• Anne (9/5): Superb -
• Erin (6/5): Fair - 1. Location 2. The beds were extremely comfortable! 3. Everyone was friendly and extremely helpful. A private guide was curated to give us a private night tour which was fabulous! 1. It was very loud. The room is located right by a main road and you could hear cars/trucks/bikes all night long. 2. Additionally, the family kitchen is next to the room (only separated by a thin wall) so you could hear people in the kitchen. Sometimes, it felt that we were in the same room. 3. The room was hot. There was one small fan and two small windows above the beds opened, but that did not allow for a cross breeze.
• Xueying (6/5): Just not good for us. - We have called the owner several times to help to find taxi, but no answer…and we asked the price for breakfast…still no answer. Not good for us.
• Craig (9/5): Excellent homely place, parking right outside, lovely host. - Friendly host. Very nice breakfasts watching the birds in the garden. Many restaurants bars and shops in easy walking distance, very large bedroom with facilities to have a light meal. Wall separating the bedroom from the main house is thin and therefore can hear noise from next door.
• Laura (8/5): Very good -
• Glen (10/5): This is a really nice family run place. Toby the dog is a cool customer. Bonus morning bird watching right outside the d - Roomy and comfortable, everything works and seemed new, nice breakfast with good coffee. Some moto noise from nearby road but we got used to it.
• Lisa (10/5): Delightful room in a good location. - Lovely clean room tastefully decorated, with comfortable lounge chairs to chill, as well as dining table and 2 comfortable double beds. The room was stylish, bright and had a lovely feel. Just outside you could sit under cover and watch the birds feed at the bird table in the garden. The hosts were lovely and so helpful. With their help we had a good guided tour of Monteverde cloud forest, but in a small group of 4. The hosts were accommodating with varying times for breakfast to fit in with our schedule. The room was very cold at night as the outside temperature dropped at night and the wind blew a hooley- making the room cold and noisy. There were plenty of spare blankets to put in the bed though so ok once snuggled up in bed. If you walk down in to town, be prepared for a steep trek back up the hill but then that’s good exercise.
• Deborah (9/5): Superb - Aide the woman who lived there was a lovely person and took very good care of us. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.
• Berrios-cordova (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pauline (9/5): Great place to stay in Monteverde - The room was spacious, the beds very comfortable, the location good for restaurants nearby. The garden was great to watch birds. The breakfast was either scrambled eggs and toast or granola which was fine. Haydee did our washing for a reasonable €24 . The family are very friendly and will organise trips for you. As you put toilet paper in a bin next to the toilet we thought this should have been emptied each day.
• Miki (10/5): Cozy place with helpful host! - Once we checked in, our host, Kenneth, helped us plan our itinerary for our 1 1/2 day stay, and his recommendations met beyond our expectations. Thanks to his advice, we loved our tour guide, Samuel, and we had a blast zip lining at Selvatura. We liked the room with a nice patio to enjoy hummingbird watching and enjoyed their breakfast too.
• Sanjay (10/5): Awesome BnB in great location! - Haydee the owner is a gem! She keeps everything in the large room spick & span! We saw more birds in her garden than at the parks! There’s tons of awesome restaurants within 100 feet. Nativo Restobar opp her house is one of them. You can walk to Finca Lantana for night tours. Also a nice walk to downtown Monte Verde and its numerous shops. Nothing
• Lesley (10/5): Home comforts in Monteverde - we had a large room with two large beds, area to make a drink and fridge to keep things cool. it was right in the centre of Monteverde, near some good restaurants and a mini supermarket. Haydee and Kenneth are very good hosts. wonderful hummingbirds at the door, what not to love. All good. Even liked the rain on the roof.
• Julia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wim (10/5): Exceptional - Large room, very cosy, very friendly people. Breakfast was served at 7AM which was a bit late for us (we went out birdwatching at dawn) so we opted for a granola breakfast on 2 of our 3 days. On the 3rd day we had the proper breakfast which was excellent. We tried 3 different restaurant options close by and they were all very very good.
• Petra (8/5): Very good - Beautiful veranda that allowed us to sit outside and watch the humming birds even in pouring rain. The host was really helpful and always ready to solve any problems that have occurred.
• Emma (9/5): Superb -
• Miroslava (9/5): Superb - Tasty breakfast Good location All was fine
• Angie (8/5): Very good -
• Cynthia (9/5): Comfortable spot - Casa Haydee was a quaint, comfortable place. The family were kind and accommodating. Breakfast everyday was prompt, and delicious. The house is also located within walking distance of several restaurants and a mini mart. We would definitely recommend it. The only negative thing I can say, is you do hear a lot of road noise. The stay is worth it, just bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.
• Karina (10/5): Exceptional - It's not really a hotel, but a private property and you feel exactly like that - at home. The room is beautiful and beds extremely comfortable. Perfectly clean and well maintained. The garden is absolutely stunning! The owners make you feel welcome and are some of the kindest people I met in Costa Rica.
• Lauren (10/5): The beds were very comfortable and the accommodation was beautiful, our host was super friendly and was available for al - The beds were very comfortable and the accommodation was beautiful, our host was super friendly and was available for all of our needs. Would stay again!
• Lauren (10/5): Exceptional! - Casa Haydee was the perfect spot for our visit to Monteverde. It was convenient, cozy, very clean, welcoming and spacious. Beds were very comfortable. Haydee and her sons, Tito and Kenneth were very accommodating and we had excellent communication with them. Kenneth had many suggestions for places to eat and experience. We enjoyed speaking with him and appreciated the insight. The location was fabulous, being able to walk to many restaurants, coffee shops and mini markets within a few minutes. Would definitely go back to Casa Haydee when visiting Monteverde again! Wonderful and welcoming family 😁 felt like visiting long distance cousins. Nothing
• Andrey (9/5): Superb -
• Anna (10/5): We had the most wonderful time. The entire family ls so nice, helpful and kind. We felt very welcome and so did out two -
• Ying (10/5): Nice place to stay. - Location is great. Supermarket and restaurants within 1 minute walk. The taxi station is right outside house too ( it’s easier if you can get taxi driver’s WhatsApp. ) Host is friendly . They helped us booked a couple of tours and answered my questions in WhatsApp all the time. Sometimes it’s a little noise from the motorcycles on the road.
• Pamela (10/5): Wonderful - Great breakfast. Peaceful patio for sitting and enjoying the flowers.
• Roger (7/5): Good -
• Donovan (9/5): Lovely property with kind hosts - Lovely house near the centre of Monteverde with the guest area fully separated next door, run by a kind family. Great breakfast with different options. Haydee was kind enough to prepare breakfast earlier than usual due to a morning tour we had booked. Small supermarket and nice restaurants nearby. Kenneth was very helpful and could advise on good tours. Lovely garden with hummingbirds! Nothing specific to the hosts, but Monteverde is very windy and you hear it inside the house, so light sleepers may wish to bring earplugs.
• Sherri (10/5): Staying at Casa Haydee Monteverde was a highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. - The rental unit was beautiful! Nicely appointed amenities, clean, everything you need. Breakfast is delivered daily to your door and based on a selection of four menus. I highly recommend a cooking class with Haydee. We made a delicious Caribbean chicken recipe! Kenneth made recommendations for things to do and see, and also arranged a couple of tours for me. The host family, Haydee and Kenneth, are perhaps the warmest, most loving, kind, and generous people I’ve met in a long time. N/A. Everything was perfect!
• Helmut (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was great, very clean room well maintained - garden beautiful - birds every daz..Haydee and her family were extremely welcoming, We wish to still be there.
• Sujana (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was great, exactly brought up the room at the time requested, options were excellent as well! Location is a quaint little neighborhood of Monteverde but with several restaurants just around the block and the downtown St.Elena within a 5 min drive.
• Moritz (10/5): Exceptional - Haydee and Kenneth took very good care of us! Easy check-in, early breakfast to go out and enjoy the day, good recommendations on To-Do and restaurants. We forgot our diver certificates upon checkout. Kenneth mailed them the next day by express to our upcoming travel destination. I recommend staying here for an awesome Monteverde experience!
• Myra (10/5): Wonderful family with a lovely home, birds and plants. - This place is so fabulous. We loved staying here! Breakfast was ordered the night before for 0800 and was delivered to our room. It was delicious. We were invited by the family to join them at the fire pit and had a wonderful conversation in two languages with the extended family - the kind of experience you would love to have as a traveler but rarely do. In the morning I could have sat all day on the patio and watched the hummingbirds and other birds from a comfortable rocking chair. The room was very spacious and well appointed with chairs and a table as well as two bed and sitting chairs. The patio was filled with lovely plants. Wonderful …. Wish I could have stayed longer! Gracias a La familia de Kenneth y su madre. There is nothing wrong with it
• Wim (9/5): Relaxing - Very beautifull appartment, very friendly helpfull hosts.
• Redwheeler (10/5): Exceptional - The host and faculty were extremely friendly and, of course, knowledgeable of the area. They arranged a guide for us (cousin) for the cloud forest and he was amazing, and I highly recommend you do this. The place was spotless and felt extremely safe. Not sure... It was a great experience!
• Jessica (9/5): Peaceful, relaxing, lovely place to stay - The gardens were absolutely beautiful! The colorful, lovely birds were always at the feeders right at our front door. The front porch was one of the most peaceful and relaxing places we encountered on our 12 day trip to Costa Rica! Señora Haydee and her son Kenneth were so warm, welcoming, and helpful. The location is in a little spot with gardens surrounding the property so you feel secluded even though you are within a short walk to a bakery/cafe, a couple restaurants, and a mini grocery. Señora Haydee offers a few different delicious breakfast options for you to choose from and cooks them each morning, served with absolutely amazing marmalade for toast! We found so much peace and relaxation in the rocking chairs in the front porch enjoying the birds and gardens each day. The room was big enough for our family of 4 to rest each day after adventures and was spacious enough for us to spread out. Everything was VERY clean. We would love to stay here again if we return to Monteverde! Thank you so much!
• Natalia (7/5): Good - the room is very nice, spatious, amenities in the room and the bathroom are of good quality. the family is friendly, helpful and easily reachable, they themselves live there and rent 1 apartment in their house. The house is cleans and cozy. Location, it’s very close to the road and you can hear noise from passing by cars.
• Crystal (10/5): They have done a beautiful job on making the property inviting. The family is wonderful. - My son and I stayed at Casa de Haydee. We took a picture with Ms. Haydee and Kenneth at our departure because we loved them that much. Kenneth’s communication and care is above and beyond. Ms. Haydee is adorable and her breakfasts are amazing. The location is wonderful and walking distance to restaurants. We walked to the town shopping center but it would be difficult for those that have problems with inclines/declines and is about a mile. I do not have any real concerns. The only improvement would be maybe to have some screens on the windows to improve airflow. At night we slept comfortably so it wasn’t a big issue.
• Chloe (10/5): Fabulous bed and breakfast with a wonderful Costa Rican family. Highly recommended. - I can't speak highly enough about Casa Haydee. The location, scenery, comfort, and amenities surpassed my expectations. The hotel has lots of beautiful plants and feeders to attract birds. The family clearly puts a lot of energy and love into their garden, which made it the perfect place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. The room was great with very comfortable beds and all of the appliances and supplies I needed. The location was also great. Just outside of town so I could fully enjoy the nature while still very close to everything, including a supermarket which was 1 minute away. I honestly wished I had more time at Casa Haydee and would have happily stayed for several more days. Better than anything though, was the family who owns the hotel. Kenneth was very communicative and helped me plan for my three days in Monteverde, even at the last minute. He connected me with a friend who was a fantastic guide (ask for Tony), made reservations for me at Sky Adventures, and organized taxis for me as needed. Throughout my stay he checked in on me through WhatsApp to see how everything was going and if I needed anything. His mother, Haydee, made a delicious breakfast with the best bread I had while in Costa Rica. On top of all of this, when there was an issue with my shared shuttle reservation back to San Jose (that I needed to make to catch my flight home the next day) Kenneth's brother in law jumped in the car at a minute's notice and literally chased the bus down the mountain. After more than 40km of driving full speed through the mountains (with squealing breaks on the turns), we caught my shuttle and I was able to make it back to San Jose on time. Despite this huge favor, Kenneth's brother in law refused to accept any payment from me. He acted like interrupting his Sunday plans with family for a 40 km high speed chase with a stranger was a completely normal thing to do. I think this is just the kind of family that owns Casa Haydee. Highly recommended. Nothing. I wish I could have stayed longer.
• Philip (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thibault (10/5): Great value for money ! - The owners were incredibly nice and the breakfast was amazing ! Lack of air conditionning.
• David (9/5): Very relaxing and comfortable stay with a lovely family. - The room was large and very comfortable. It was a lovely stay with the family and we were very well looked after by Haydee.
• Leanne (9/5): Wonderful! - The location was great - close to restaurants and walkable to downtown, but not too close... The garden was beautiful and Freida put out fresh fruit every day to bring in the birds. We would sit outside every morning with our coffee and watch the birds at the feeders. Freida made us wonderful breakfasts in the mornings, and we have several options to choose from. We also had a fridge and microwave, so we could have snacks and fruit. The room was clean and Freida and Kenneth were there for us if we needed anything. Wonderful family and wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend Casa Haydee!
• Dave (10/5): Great accommodation - Awesome hostess and family - The hostess and her family were awesome - very helpful. The facilities were great. And the place was very well located within short walking distance of several restaurants and some attractions The accommodation abuts the main family living area and the sound carries through the thin walls. However, it was always quiet after ~9pm so this was not at all an issue for us
• Christina (8/5): Very good - Nice spacious clean room with 2 double beds and a sofa. Haydee is very kind and friendly host, she doesn’t speak English and unfortunately my Spanish is not great but we managed to communicate. Nice breakfast served in the room. On the morning of a tour I asked for breakfast at 6.30 and it was delivered on time - nice service. It was windy and cold during my stay and despite have a small heater the place was still rather chilly.
• Thomas (10/5): The perfect home to soak in the beauty of Monteverde. - A comfortable home in a very cool part of town. The owners are very warm and inviting. They were most helpful during our stay. They helped us book activities and cabs to and from the property. Staying here genuinely made us want to move to Monteverde.
• Vanessa (10/5): Exceptional - Kenneth our host, Mom Heidi and the rest of the family were so gracious and accomidating it was hard to leave! Nothing
• Louise (10/5): A peaceful gem in Monteverde - Casa Haydee was a welcome break from hostels as a solo traveller! I had a very comfortable stay, really great breakfast and hot shower. Kenneth and his mum were so helpful, offering to help with booking me taxis and tours. Only a 10 min walk into the town centre, I liked being placed slightly outside so I got a lovely walk in and passed several nice cafés, restaurants and shops on the way Nothing!
• Leila (10/5): Highly recommended, beautiful place! - The location is great as it’s a short walk to santa elena town and like a 10min ride to the start of the cloud forest. Also there are plenty of restaurants around and a supermarket. Haydee and her family are the sweetest and helped us with everything and provided many recommendations. Her pancakes are the best i’ve had so far! beautiful garden with lots of plants that Haydee can tell you all about. Nice to sit outside as well to watch the birds. Highly recommend staying here!!
• Cari (10/5): A very wonderful stay with the sweetest host. - Haydee is the sweetest host, there is a beautiful garden area to enjoy & a very comfortable room! Location is great, as were the recommendations we received. Breakfast was delicious! Highly recommend! nothing!
• Koen (9/5): Superb - Host was really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice.
• Jannik (10/5): Exceptional - Kenneth and Carlos are very kind and helping out with any questions i had for the area and activities around Monteverde. you can actually take a walk from the place to Cari Cancha (or Monteverde Biological Reserve; although thats a bit further away) and get your free breakfast in the bakery on the way.
• William (10/5): Our favorite place! - Really nice property. Large comfortable updated room. Convenient location. Pretty garden with lots of flowers and cacti. Loved sitting outside on the rocking chairs and watching the birds. Haydee was so sweet and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious and she even did our laundry. nothing
• Debra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karol (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. The hosts were super helpful. A lot of places for food in the area.
• Leora (10/5): Exceptional -
