Guest Reviews

• Melody (9/5): Overall this place was great! Good location for our tours and close to downtown for good eats! - It was a great location! It was clean and the free breakfast was delicious. Ernesto was very nice and helpful. The room we stayed in didn’t have ac, it was cool enough but probably could have used a ceiling fan and the bath towels could use an upgrade.
• beatrice (9/5): - Ernesto was heel vriendelijk. Het ontbijt was verrukelijk. De kamer is ruim, mooie uitzicht en veel privacy. Niets
• Carl (10/5): -
• María (8/5): Tranquilidad - La ubicación de la propiedad rodeada de naturaleza Un pequeño imprevisto con el parking
• Aitor (10/5): -
• Céliane (9/5): -
• Nelle (9/5): Zeer mooi appartement op uitstekende locatie - De locatie was uitstekend voor alle activiteiten in fe buurt. Jammer genoeg waren er werken in de straat waardoor we er met de auto niet door konden. Hier kon het hotel zelf natuurlijk niets aan doen.
• Haley (10/5): Comfortable, cozy and clean stay with a great view, lots of wildlife and an amazing breakfast; best place we stayed in C - The balcony was amazing, saw at least 20 species of birds from there alone. Coatis, agoutis, spider monkeys. Breakfast was amazing! Kitchen in our unit was very well equipped. Ernesto was very accommodating and very good with recommendations and was very kind. As a queer couple we felt very safe here, no one even blinked an eye.
• Josep Maria (10/5): Excepcional - Instalaciones modernas, muy espaciosas e impecables, incluye cocina con todo lo necesario. Ubicación idílica. Muy tranquilo. Desayuno delicioso. Anfitrión amabilísimo y gran conocedor de la zona. Nada. Todo fantástico.
• Jaroslav (10/5): Příjemné ubytování téměř v centru Santa Ellena 15 min autem do Monteverde - Dobře dostupné, velké parkoviště (byť nyní , dočasně, pro rekonstrukci celé ulice je nedostupné) . 15 min autem od vstupu do rezervace Monteverde. Příjemná terasa, ze které jsme viděli nosála, Momota, Čačalaka , a večer při návratu z večeře velikého vzácného brouka nosorožík kapucinek. Majitel je velmi vstřícný, udělal nám snídani dosti brzy, měli jsme check in na ranní prohlídku v Monteverde v 7:15 (odjezd z ubytování v 7:00 snídaně v 6:40) děkujeme. Vše o.k.
• Johanna (9/5): Vacaciones Nubosas - Tranquilidad, cocina equipada Sugerencia dejar té para que los huéspedes puedan preparar
• ANDREA (10/5): - Ernesto was great! Loved the breakfast and patio. Bed was a bit hard.
• janet (10/5): - Trees and views unexpected. Lots of wildlife in and around the hotel. Short walk to town centre. Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Allgood
• Yirlany (10/5): - La ubicación es excelente, se puede ir caminando al centro. Es cómodo y muy lindo, variedad en el desayuno y muy rico 😊
• Alejandra (9/5): Repetiría seguro en Monteverde - El personal es muy amable y las instalaciones comunes, donde se desayuna, son una maravilla. Se ve incluso fauna La calle estaba en obras y entrar con el coche fue complicado. Lo bueno es que tiene parking
• Tamsin (10/5): - Great breakfast and easy walk to town for dinner
• Aishwarya (10/5): Best bank for your buck.excellent stay - Everything was exceptional
• Jose (10/5): Excelente servicio y ubicación! - La tranquilidad comodidad y vistas a la montaña. El desayuno muy bueno y completo también En realidad no era responsabilidad del hotel pero estaban haciendo trabajos en la calle frente al hotel y había ruido de maquinaria y la calle con paso regulado
• Anouk Oomen (7/5): Prima plekje vlakbij het centrum - De locatie was vlakbij het dorpje wat te lopen was maar als je een auto hebt alles binnen 5 min te bereiken (wandelen is steil!) Tegenvallen is een groot woord maar verwacht geen luxe kamer of hele mooie faciliteiten. Alles voelt een beetje minimaal en verouderd maar prima. Er is een terras voor waar je ontbijt wordt geserveerd maar echt een lekker relaxeplekje/hangmat/bankje is er niet echt en badkamer is basic en verouderd.
• Vanessa (9/5): - Tolle Lage - die Terrasse direkt am Dschungel. Morgens kamen Nasenbären vorbei.
• Frank (8/5): - War Toll ---
• Tobias (10/5): The value for money at this accommodation is absolutely top-notch. - There are many highlights to mention: The accommodation is in a fantastic location, at the end of a shopping street lined with restaurants and supermarkets. Despite this, it’s in a quiet area and offers a wonderful view of nature from the terrace, where the host serves breakfast. Not far from the accommodation is Santa Elena National Park, which is ideal for hiking. Nearby is also the meeting point for the night hike through the transition forest—an experience we highly recommend. The host is extremely friendly and helpful and has great tips for nearby activities. Breakfast offers a fantastic selection and high quality. -

• Marta (9/5): -
• Axel (10/5): - In wunderschöner Lage am Hang gelegen haben wir 2 Tage hier in Monteverde verbracht. Unser Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, das Apartment ist sehr gut ausgestattet und das Frühstück war lecker. Nasenbären schauen gelegentlich auf der Terasse vorbei. Es gab nichts zu bemängeln. Derzeit wird die Straße vor dem Haus gebaut, jedoch ist die Lärmbelästigung hierdurch minimal.
• Beatrice (10/5): Spettacolare - Il nostro host è stato eccezionale, super gentile e disponibile nel consigliarci le varie attività da fare L’appartamento era stupendo e pulitissimo La colazione buonissima Mi è piaciuto tutto
• Felicitas (6/5): -
• Michael (8/5): Für einen kurzen Besuch in dieser Region immer wieder gerne - Wir hatten einen Appartement mit komplett eingerichteter Küche separat im Schlafzimmer und Badezimmer. Das Badezimmer war überaus groß. Ein gutes Frühstück und ein freundlicher Empfang und das Bild ab. Wenn wir etwas Negatives finden wollen, dann war es der Weg in den Ort, der vielleicht 500 m bergab ging. Der Weg zurück war dann etwas anstrengender.
• Ivano (10/5): Magnifico - La presenza del proprietario e tutte le informazioni, l’aiuto dato, appartamento stupendo. Se ci sarà la possibilità ritorno con piacere Tutto perfetto
• Sean (10/5): Lots of wildlife to spot! - Very clean and tidy. Situated in a great location that is walking distance from the town centre. Our host was very friendly and helpful with organising tours and activities.
• Arnoldo (10/5): Excelente ubicación, buen paisaje y muy cómodo - Paisaje increíble
• Elillusio (10/5): Beautiful place to stay in Santa Elena - We loved staying here and were sad to go. It was so lovely in Monteverde, and the hotel was perfect. Definitely the favourite place we have stayed in Costa Rica. The apartment with the balcony was amazing. It had everything we could want and was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good. The best part was being able to look at all the birds in the trees outside, even while sitting in bed, or sitting on the balcony. Listening to the dawn chorus sitting on the balcony was the perfect start to the day and seeing a motmot so close every day was a treat. The apartment with the terrace was also a beautiful apartment with a huge comfy bed and the seating on the terrace was nice on a warm day. Ernesto was so helpful and kind, especially when one of our tour pick ups did not arrive, and the pancakes or toast and eggs with a plate of fruit were delicious. The town of Santa Elena is only a few minutes walk away, and there is easy parking if you are driving. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Monteverde. Everyone has different preferences, but we personally didn't like the plug-in air fresheners and needed to take them out of the room.
• Elillusio (10/5): -
• Remmelt (10/5): - alles niets
• ELENA (9/5): PARA QUEDARSE MÁS DE UNA NOCHE - La amplitud de la habitación, la ubicación cercana a los puntos de interés y el trato de Ernesto desde antes de nuestra llegada. Como íbamos a llegar al alojamiento de noche nos dío todas las indicaciones y recomendaciones necesarias para poder acceder por nuestra cuenta sin problema. Nada, todo fue genial
• Lama (7/5): -
• Milene (10/5): - The apartment was very very good. Very clean, big, comfortable, with everything you may need to be at home. The shower was very big and good, the bed very nice as well. The breakfast was very good. Ernesto always available to help.
• Inge (10/5): - Sehr großzügig, sehr schöne Unterkunft und super netter Gastgeber
• Julio Ivan (10/5): - L. Cocina Bien equipada, Todo muy limpio, y en buen uso. Las vistas, El desayuno. La atención del personal. Ha Sido genial!!!
• Graeme (10/5): 2 night stay at La Guayaba - Great central location and breakfast on balcony adjacent to rainforest despite being 3 mins walk from centre. Host was very helpful. Very little to dislike. No plug in bathroom sink but that's standard for the region apparently. Outside the property, the roads to the nature reserves and through the mountains are little more than potholed dirt tracks so beware if you have hired a standard car, you won't get anywhere quickly.
• Kris (10/5): -
• Reiner (10/5): Tolle und schöne Unterkunft. - Eine wunderschöne, sehr saubere Unterkunft. Familiengeführt. Ernesto ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Hilft bei Buchungen und gibt Tipps. Das Frühstück ist toll. Mehrere Auswahlmöglichkeiten. Die Unterkunft ist in die Natur eingebettet und am Morgen kommen ab und zu Nasenbären vorbei.
• ELMENREICH (10/5): - alles bestens! Früher Check-in, Freundlichkeit, super Frühstück, Upgrade. in -
• Bernd (9/5): Ideale Location für einen Besuch des Nationalpark Monteverde, Kaffeetour etc. - sehr gute Lage, angenehm ruhig, nur wenige Gehminuten vom Ortskern von Monteverde mit Restaurants und Shops familiäre Atmosphäre, Besitzer sehr gastfreundschaftlich
• GerRaPoe (10/5): - Super Lage im Ort mit Blick auf den Nebelwald. Sehr gute Ausstattung und riesiges Zimmer.
• Jie (10/5): - The hotel is located in a quiet area but close to town. We loved our room, so big and bright, very clean and comfortable. There're a lot of animals in the garden, I could totally sit there all day watching them. Ernesto is really nice, the breakfast was good. I just wished I had booked an extra night. Such a lovely place! The Canton 83 soda near by is ok, but we found the little takeaway place right next to it is much better! Give it a try. :)
• Neus (10/5): - Habitación muy amplia y cómoda, cocina equipada. El dueño súper atento. El desayuno riquísimo. Volveríamos sin duda!
• Jose Arias (Joze01) (10/5): - Muy cómoda la habitación
• Mcbride (9/5): Great value and close walk into St Elena with lots of amenities. Perfect stop off before Monteverde cloud forest! Super - Perfect for one night before visiting the cloud forest. Well-equipped, spacious room with coffee making facilities and excellent breakfast.
• Heike (9/5): - Sehr freundlicher Empfang mit vielen Tipps. Zimmer sehr sauber, schön und groß. Super Frühstück auf der Terrasse.
• Patricia (9/5): Ein zu kurzer Aufenthalt bei der Guayaba Monteverde - Kleines Hotel mit 4 Zimmern im Familienbesitz. Ernesto ist ein sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Frühstückterrasse mit Kontakt zur Natur. Lage zentral und trotzdem ruhig. Sodas und Restaurants in der Nähe. Kein Safe.
• Alyssa (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer! - Nice spot, nice hot showers, very clean and great views off the deck for birding. They even made us breakfast early for us to leave to birdwatch.
• Axel (9/5): Tres bon logement - Le logement est tres grand, bien équipé et propre. On est très bien accueilli et la terrasse est parfaite en face de la forêt. On est aussi tres bien placé a 2 pas des commerces .
• Ramon (10/5): - La limpieza En realidad todo
• Laura (9/5): - Hele ruime kamer! Locatie dichtbij restaurants, vriendelijke gastheer en lekker ontbijt. Heerlijke ruime douche. Bed is vrij klein.
• Nils (10/5): Makellos - Wir waren zwei Nächte hier. Das Zimmer war riesig, der Gastgeber war super freundlich und das Frühstück war großartig. Außerdem war es sauber und trotz dessen, dass wir nur zwei Nächte hier waren, wurde das Zimmer nach einer Nacht noch einmal gereinigt. Die Lage ist super ruhig auf einem Berg gelegen und trotzdem ist man in 5 Minuten zu Fuß im Innenstadtbereich. Es gab wirklich gar nichts, was uns nicht gefallen hat.
• Mike (10/5): - Great breakfast. Very kind host. Everything ok!
• Ineke (9/5): Fijne plek voor een paar dagen. - Dichtbij het centrum van St Elena en toch rustig. Ernesto is een geweldige host. Bed was voor ons iets te hard, maar dat is persoonlijk
• gail (10/5): - loved the location but the owner was the best. except the breakfast was superb as well! truly just great.
• Gabriela (8/5): Schöne Unterkunft mit Blick in die Natur - Großes, schönes Zimmer. Supermärkte und Restaurants in Laufnähe. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Super Preis/Leistungsverhältnis! Eine Nasenbärfamilie ist direkt auf unserer Terasse vorbeigelaufen. :) Frühstück war "nur" ok verglichen mit anderen Unterkünften.
• siskusaez (10/5): Una buena estancia - Perfecto, tanto en cantidad como en calidad, personal amable, entorno fantastico
• Norbert (9/5): - Tolle Lage am Rande von St.Elena. Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber geräumiges Zimmer. Gutes Frühstück. Top Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Klare Empfehlung Nichts

• Gabriele (9/5): -
• Luciano Javier (10/5): Hermoso - Todo, particularmente la amabilidad del anfitrion y la gata Vale la pena por su ubicacion, buenas instalaciones y relacion precio-calidad
• Carolyn (8/5): Perfect for our needs. Close to Hanging Bridges and nature parks - Great location. Very short walk into town. Lovely view of nature when having breakfast. Friendly staff. Hard to find initially using WAZE app. App took us to a different location in town.
• Emanuel (10/5): -
• Emmapera (10/5): - L'excellent rapport qualité/prix, les bons conseils de l'hôte, le petit dej sur la terrasse, la proximité avec Santa Elena Rien
• Elena (10/5): Alojamiento con vistas al bosque nuboso - Todo fue fantástico, la zona en la que está ubicada la casa, las vistas que hay desde la misma, las instalaciones, el personal. Todo fabuloso. Sin duda repetiríamos y nos quedaríamos más tiempo, es un sitio estupendo para desconectar y está cerca de muchas reservas impresionantes. El desayuno delicioso.
• Ross (10/5): Highly recommended authentic stay! - Ernesto runs a comfortable and very welcoming B&B, the comfortable rooms and long wooden terrace make it feel like a small boutique lodge. He is a perfect host helpful and willing to help, the location is ideal for going into Monteverde in the evening. The plentiful birdlife around the house is a bonus. Nothing, would happily stay here again. If there was an issue it would be to request bigger bathroom towels!
• Susan (10/5): Great little hotel - Beautifully presented room, plenty of space for storage. Excellent coffee provided together with coffee machine. Ernesto was very helpful and friendly and would have booked activities for us if we needed. Good breakfast with a choice, prepared freshly. Excellent location, convenient and quiet with a Coati family living outside. We would highly recommend staying here. Nothing

• Annemarie (9/5): - Super lieber Gastgeber, schönes Zimmer, tolle Terrasse und die besten Pancakes zum Frühstück! 🥰 Der Föhn ist ziemlich schnell ausgegangen. Wahrscheinlich war er irgendwie überlastet. Am Ankunftstag hatten wir einige größere Spinnen im Zimmer.
• Agnes (9/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): - tolle Lage, außergewöhnlich freundlich und zuvorkommend Gastgeber...wunderschönes Appartement. Nix6
• Soe (10/5): - De locatie was perfect, net buiten het stadje Santa Elena maar op loopafstand. Het appartement was geweldig, van alle gemakken voorzien, superschoon. Het ontbijt was een feestje, zoveel keuze en met zorg bereid. De gastheer was zeer vriendelijk, nam voor elke gast tijd voor een praatje en was zeer servicegericht. De locatie lag ook zeer centraal voor het bezoeken van parken en het ondernemen van activiteiten. Op de locatie zelf kon je al vogels en soms apen zien. We hebben hier een mooie tijd gehad Eigenlijk niets alleen misschien dat het stadje heel toeristisch is
