• Dorothea (10/5): -
• Heiko (9/5): Wir würden wieder buchen. - Super Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Sehr netter Gastgeber. Moskitonetz an der Eingangstür.
• Guest (10/5): - Exelencias N/A
• Falk (5/5): Naja - Das Frühstück war ein Genuss. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich. Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus Schlechter Allgemein-Zustand, vor allem das Badezimmer müsste frisch gemacht werden
• eva (10/5): - Freddy ist so freundlich und hilfsbereit! Das beste Frühstück ever!! sehr saubere Zimmer, SEHR zum Empfehlen👍🏻
• Darren (8/5): Great place in Monteverde run by a very friendly couple. Really good breakfast - Great location and the couple that run it are wonderful Nothing in particular
• Anonymous (10/5): Freddy's place is awesome! - We had a fantastic stay at Freddy's. The location was excellent, very close to town without being right in the center. Freddy was so kind, he gave us a ton of great recommendations, and he makes an awesome breakfast! I highly recommend staying at Freddy's Place, and would definitely stay again if we come back to Monteverde. Thanks Freddy!
• Liu (1/5): Run away-unless you are up for a scary journey - The facility is a lot worse than the description on the website. Every thing. The room was filthy, facilities were shabby and broken. It was very noisy as it is by a road and there were traffic all night long. What is worse is that the landlord is extremely rude and forcing us to pay cash instead of credit card.
• Esther (6/5): Pleasant - Lovely staff, very friendly. Quiet location at night. Ample options for breakfast, which were delicious. Close to Treetopia and Refuge reserve. Located on a hill, be prepared for steep hill walk from town centre.
• Lorraine (9/5): Freddy was very helpful! Told us great restaurants to go to! - Breakfast was good! Handy to zipline! Close to street!
• Deanna (9/5): Superb - Was farther than realized from main town but still was able to walk there. Breakfast was great. Freddy and family were very nice.
• Gabriele (9/5): Stay there, it’s great! - Place is super nice! I liked the fact, that is not in the busy center and you can walk there in a few minutes. The staff is really sweet and helpful. It definitely had the best and most beautiful :) breakfast I had in Costa Rica! My favorite place during this journey!
• Sarah (10/5): Beautiful little spot close to everything :) - Freddy was waiting for us when we got there Helped us book a night walk and the hanging bridges tour when we go in Made great recommendations Breakfast was delicious Clean and quiet rooms
• Spencer (9/5): Superb - Nice family owned B&B. Location of the B&B was quite close to the city centre and all the parks nearby. Breakfast was delicious, a good range of options to choose from.
• Russell (8/5): The host couple are the kindest of people. Offering us dining and tour suggestions, and watching over our luggage for a -
• Stuart (8/5): Excellent little spot in the heart of M.V. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were super nice. -
• Armand (6/5): Prima voor een tussenstop van 1 nacht - Friendly people and they have a lovely daughter! A good price for what you get! Small room, location in the middle of nowhere but that’s why you pay a low price. Breakfast should be better!
• Martin (8/5): Freddy's Place is a great option for solo travelers or couples in Monteverde - Freddy is a wonderful host and made us feel welcome during our entire stay. He or another family member was always there when we needed something, e.g. hot water for tea, utensils, etc. Freddy gave us insider tips for things to see and do in the Monteverde area. He called ahead and made reservations (including shuttle pickup) for zip lining at the national park the very next morning. The Wifi was fast and reliable. And the breakfast every morning was an absolute delight, with fresh fruit and a choice of (huge) pancakes, a hot breakfast wrap, or eggs any way you want, all nicely decorated and a visual treat as well. Additionally, there is street parking if you're traveling by car. Several restaurants nearby are within walking distance if you don't mind climbing up/down a steep hill. The bathroom could use a remodel as water wasn't draining around the sink and there is no shower fan. Also, our room (#3) was very close to the street and traffic noise from cars and motorcycles outside was very noticeable. I would recommend Freddy's place for solo travelers or couples looking for an inexpensive place for a short term stay.
• Juhi (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (8/5): Very good - Freddy is such a lovely man - kind, friendly and prepared to go out of his way to make our stay the best possible. He got up early to make breakfast in time for our early tours and accommodated a vegan diet. He moved our rooms so the two couples in our party could be next door to eachother. The location works well, with a short walk into town.
• Aartimoore (8/5): A nice and comfortable place to stay - When we arrived, the property's owner, who speaks English, was not there. Instead. a family friend was at the reception. Her English was excellent and she helped with everything we needed and wanted to do. The rest of the staff were very friendly, but they didn't speak English. Our rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was nice and good. The rooms have refrigerators, which was very convenient. The hotel has only 2 parking spaces - when full, we had to park on the street, which wasn't convenient. The rooms need renovations. Water pressure in the rooms was low. The city center is only about 1 km down the road, however, as the hotel is on the top of a steep hill, getting back by foot is challenging.
• Elizabeth (6/5): Delicious breakfast, kind staff and basic rooms at a reasonable price. - The breakfast was the best part of the experience. So fresh and delicious with way more options than we found at other places we stayed. The staff was mostly helpful when we asked for things like to borrow a pair of scissors or or a hair drier. The location was close enough that we could walk to the city center which was nice. And there was parking for our car which was also nice. There is no air circulation in the rooms and when we were there it rained most of the time - which meant everything was damp and wet INSIDE our room. There was mildew on the ceilings over the beds. There was a large refrigerator inside our room that didn't work. I was glad there was a room where our family of 5 could stay in one room - so I was thankful for that.
• Avena (10/5): Intimate bed and breakfast with friendly staff and spacious rooms - Clean and spacious rooms, very nice staff
• Varangen (8/5): Very good - Staff fantastic helpful Breakfast very good A little damp in the room. Poor opportunities to hang clothes in the room.
• Fatema (10/5): Expectional! - Staff is very welcoming and helpful Breakfast is amazing Beds are very comfortable and hot showers. Nothing
• Hulan (7/5): Good - The dedicated staff and the warm, hearty breakfast truly make a difference. None
• Jennifer (9/5): Superb - Lovely room, very nice breakfast and Freddy and his family were so friendly and welcoming The only small issues were that the room door was very difficult to lock from the inside, and the toilet seat was a bit unstable. Otherwise, for a budget accommodation it was excellent
• Sue (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gong (10/5): Excellent staying - Breakfast, friendly staffs, very clean
• Roma (7/5): Good -
• Beth (10/5): Great friendly place - Great place, we felt very welcomed on arrival (even let us check in early). Breakfast was delicious, and the shower and comfy beds were the best after a very wet day in Monteverde! Nothing!
• Johan (8/5): Very good -
• Kelly (9/5): Lovely, quaint B&B and good dollar value - We liked that it was family owned and run. Let us arrive and check in early…very welcoming. Provided a place to park our rental car right out front and the breakfast choices were amazing. Close to town and amenities.
• Brett (8/5): Great for a quiet get away in a beautiful land - Nice location, lovely proprietor, well kept with good breakfast Its a great place for people looking for piece and quiet. Rules are a little narrower than I am used to
• Aa (9/5): Superb -
• Mandy (7/5): Great breakfast - Great breakfast and friendly helpful staff who were able to help us sort transport to the Cloud Forest Reserve. Just a short (but hilly) walk into Santa Elena. The rooms were fine, but were a little bit tired around the edges
• Daniel (7/5): Great location suitable for our family with basic needs and wonderful breakfast. - Breakfast Bathroom and no where to store items
• Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely and helpful hosts, big room, super comfortable bed, nice outdoor area, great choice of breakfast. Very quiet at night, i slept like a baby there. Cutest baby cat is a plus ☺️ It's quite a walk from the center and a steep climb back, though i didn't mind much. I couldn't use the mosquito door because of the door knob of the sliding door, i had to trust the curtain to filter unwanted insects. Small things.
• Halana (9/5): Cozy, clean, friendly gem! - So many great things at Freddy’s! The family is super helpful and helped us book activities and dry our clothes when we got caught in the rain. The breakfast is delicious and made to order. We loved the banana pancakes! Freddy’s is at the top of a steep hill. If you have a car or are doing tours that pick you up (almost all of them), then no problem. It’s really just a consideration if you are walking into town a lot.
• Samantha (10/5): Great stay in Monteverde! - The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the morning was perfect as well.
• Shaw (9/5): We loved it. The place was nice and comfortable and was in a good location and the people were great. - The people working that were very nice and helpful. The TV could have had more channels.
• Bethany (8/5): Very good - Our stay at Freddy’s B&B was great, the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the staff always really friendly.
• Corina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Samuel (9/5): Superb - This is a great place to spend a few nights in monteverde, it would be easier with a car as it's up a hill from Santa Elena but there's plenty of cheap taxis if not. Freddy was a great host, helped us with anything we asked and the breakfast was a really good quality. Miles better than most hotels
• Ian (10/5): A fabulous little hotel that genuinely cares. - This is a brilliant hotel that I cannot recommend highly enough! When we arrived I was concerned about the tyre pressure in my hire car and he got his own tyre inflator to sort this for me. You don't get that kind of service at hotels 5 times more expensive. We felt genuinely cared for and valued as customers in a friendly way. Absolutely cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We liked everything!
• Mary (8/5): We had the best breakfasts that we had in our entire trip. - It was clean, in a good location, the beds were comfortable and the food and service fantastic.
• Yury (8/5): Very good -
• Juliae (10/5): Exceptional - The host was so wonderful. Great view from the patio.
• Katherine (10/5): Wonderful host, delicious food, peaceful and clean setting. - Freddy is a wonderful host. The room was perfect for our family and the B&B is centrally located but out of the way enough to be quiet. The food at breakfast was delicious and Freddy provided lots of great information about local attractions and activities.
• Cardenas (10/5): Great home like staying. - Excellent central location and the best breakfast we had in our trip to Costa Rica. Freddy and family know exactly what is a good customer service. We were treated more like a family. Rooms were clean and enough for sleep time. Thankful to find this place.
• Dominik (6/5): Pleasant -
• Stacy (10/5): Exceptional - Staff was friendly and very helpful. Near busy road and a bit loud.
• O'sullivan (7/5): Good -
• Mekala (10/5): Exceptional - Freddy was flexible in making breakfast for us after our early morning tour! His hospitality is awesome! The breakfast was excellent! Nothing!
• Julie (8/5): Really enjoyed the stay at Freddy’s & would recommend them to others. - Location to town was fantastic. The decor in the rooms was very cute & nice and clean. Freddy & wife were very kind hosts & the breakfasts provided were very good! A suggestion might be to have another mirror not just in the bathroom & a screen in the bathroom so bugs don’t get in.
• Jacqueline (9/5): Superb - Fantastic breakfast and extremely kind, honest, helpful owner. One member of our group left his wallet at the hotel and Freddy sent it all the way to Samara. When we said we didn't know how to pay him, he said it's okay if you can't find a way to pay me. You can just give the money to someone who needs it or to a church. This is a very good man! Great location and he gave us great recommendations. We can't think of anything negative for the price here.
• Courtney (7/5): Great for short stay, food and staff are the best. - Friendly and warm welcome. Delicious breakfast plated beautifully. Easy walk into the town and short drive to lord of activities. Needs updating. On very noisy/busy street. Minimal air movement in the room we were in, fan would’ve been nice.
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Freddy is very helpful and welcoming on arrival. Breakfast is excellent and Freddy generously accommodates earlier times if you have early tours.
• Taylor (9/5): Fantastic place to stay! - Freddy is wonderful! He was so inviting and helpful and gave us great recommendations for night tours and places to eat. He even greated us with some much needed coffee. The room was bright and clean and cool. I loved the little sitting areas on the balcony. The breakfast in the morning was not just beautifully presented, but tasted AMAZING and the coffee is fantastic! It's off the main drag, but still very close to shops and restaurants. Bonus: There's an emerald toucan nest in the trees across from his property. If you see a little hole in one of the trees by the fence, take a minute to watch. You might just see a few! Our only issue was the motorcycles zipping by at all hours and the discotech playing loud music until late. However, we were there during Semana Santa (Holy Week/Easter weekend), which is a big celebration weekend, so it was probably noisier than usual.
• Jane (10/5): Kind helpful hosts made this a wonderful stay in Monteverde - We loved everything about Freddy's Place. Freddy and his wife make wonderful breakfasts - the best we had in our 3 week stay in Costa Rica - lots of choice, well presented and very tasty. The room was very clean and had everything we needed - we could also sit outside on the balcony. The location was a 6 minute walk into the town - a bit of an uphill coming back from town but we could manage it and we are 70+ year olds. Freddy works hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible and gives you all the information you need about places of interest etc in the area. Highly recommended - pura vida Freddy and his wife. It was all perfect.
• Steve (8/5): Comfortable and nice hotel overall. - Good breakfast. Owner was helpful. Inadequate parking so had to park on the street. But there appeared to be a night person in the office so our car was probably safe. We didn't leave any valuables in the car anyway,
• Soetkin (10/5): An unforgetable experience in the cloud forests - Freddy is friendly and flexible, he helped us organizing the activities. Breakfast was delicious home made costa rica food option, with also classic choices. The room was always clean and there is an option to relax outside. We would defenitly recommed to stay with the lovely familiy!
• Ariel (8/5): Very good -
• Deborah (8/5): Freddy was always most helpful in every way and his breakfasts and coffee were excellent. - Freddy was most helpful with any little bit of info we needed. He even provided a local map which he marked up for us. Also, the best included breakfast and coffee we had in all of our travels in CR. We think our room with 4 beds may have been the least nice in the van property. It needed some upgrading.
• Jenn (9/5): Highly recommend Freddy’s place - Freddy is so friendly. We loved the location and the breakfasts were the best we had during our time in Costa Rica.
• Etheredge (10/5): Exceptional - It was perfect for our family and Freddy was great! Pretty good location too.
• Lucia (8/5): Great location, lovely family run business - Casual, very friendly and helpful The cleaning products used, the smell was way too strong and quite sickening once in bed
• Ledgley (9/5): Good value in a touristy area. - Freddy gave us lots of advice and recommendations. He also served us breakfast early when we had an early tour. Going upstairs the stairs are vey narrow.
• Mortensen (8/5): Very good - Freddy really offered us more breakfast options every day. It could be served beyond normal opening hours. Freddy did everything possible for taking good care of us, and also arranged a tour for us within very short notice
• Kevin (1/5): Do Not Book - Nothing. We ended up booking a room in another city a day early because we were so disappointed. Our first impression was like we were staying in a hostel. The kitchen/reception area had an odor to it. There was a lot of clutter inside and outside. The beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows felt like you didn't have pillows at all. There was no AC which we could have used. The glass sliding doors had screens as well as the windows but when we tried to use the screens to get air circulation the screens had tears down each side. The motorcycles...oh my the motorcycles. They were very loud and they went all day and all through the night right next to the location. We felt like we were staying next to a highway with non-stop motorcycle traffic.
• Michele (9/5): Superb - Host, extremely friendly but his phone number changed so not reachable w info from booking, but no worries he s there, this is a stay at his house kind of place, real cool for the local vibe, we confirm the super fresh made smoothie and great breakfast also organized last minute tour in the jungle in the evening and private guide Samuel who found us 4 Quetzals The beds are small but comfy, size like most hotels in CR À bit a challenge to get up that street and maps sent us up the wrong street around the corner Bathroom very basic but did the trick, you can ask for a hairdryer Thanks and Pura Vida to you
• Nicholas (9/5): Superb - The owner is extremely friendly and gave us some very good advice which helped us during our stay in Monteverde. Breakfast is very good. Hotel has a good value for money. Place is a bit old but that is acceptable seen relative low price.
• Chase (8/5): Very good -
• Mayumi (10/5): Exceptional - Very flexible with time. Friendly
• Bianca (10/5): Fantastic stay - Freddy's was great! Breakfast every morning was wonderful and Freddy and the staff helped us with transportation since we didn't have a vehicle. The room was clean and comfortable for our 3 night stay. Appreciated the mini fridge and it's location to a convenience store and some eateries. Only very minor complaints, a fan or window screen in the bathroom would have been nice, as would additional hooks to hang towels.
• Jordan (9/5): Superb -
• Karin (10/5): Exceptional - Eddy and his family were absolutely perfect hosts! Amazing breakfast, clean and spacious rooms, really enjoyed our stay there.
• Leonard (10/5): Freddy was a friendly host, with lots of information about the area. He made a great breakfast!!! - It was clean, comfortable and close to all the tourist places.
• Nomadz (8/5): Good value B&B close to town centre - Freddys is good value for money. The breakfast was fantastic - very generous. Host was very helpful. The B&B was very close to town so could walk in - but there is a very steep hill climb back. The room had a large fridge and a large shower - lots of hot water. We stayed a Friday night - and there was quite a lot of road noise.
• Cristiana (5/5): Passable - Awesome breakfast!!! Very old and needs work in the rooms.
• Donna (10/5): Friendly attentive, always helpful. Nice family atmosphere. - The breakfast was very good, individually prepared in their kitchen. Quieter area, but close enough to walk everywhere in Santa Elena. Nothing to dislike.
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Freddy offered exceptional hospitality, a delicious breakfast, comfy/clean rooms, and a location right outside the main tourist section of the city. We had actually booked different accommodations originally but had to cancel at the last minute, so we were very grateful for our wonderful stay at Freddy’s !
• Tiago (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mckinnon (10/5): Well run business and very helpful advice on what to see and also in arranging it for you if you wish. Delicious breakfa - Very friendly staff. Close to town.
• Meredith (8/5): Very good -
• Angela (8/5): Perfect location to visit the area - Helpful staff, excellent breakfast n/a
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely family run establishment. Stayed with my elderly mom who had certain needs. Hosts kindly accommodated those needs and more! Exceptional valued stay coupled with extremely kind and warm hosts. Do not hesitate to book!
• Sabine (10/5): Amazing. - The staff was amazing and helpful and the rooms were exactly what was pictured. Clean and comfortable. The breakfast is amazing. The B&B is located very close to the center so very convenient. I would definitely stay here again!
• Thomas (8/5): Very good -
• Rafay (8/5): Very good -
• Nikki (7/5): Very welcoming family run place that offers basic rooms, great breakfasts and wonderful hosts. - Freddy and his family were absolutely wonderful - welcoming, friendly, helpful, the works. Always greeting us with a smile. Breakfasts were fabulous and were from 6-10, giving the teens their lie in! And checkout wasn’t until 11/11.30 which was also handy for onward connections. The place is a 20 min walk out of town, so away from the tourist crowds of Santa Elena. The family room (sleeps 5) was very basic and felt a little damp, but given the wet climate (& as we were in the clouds) whilst we were there it is perhaps not surprising. Rooms could do with a little TLC, but you get what you pay for, with the lovely family owners a bonus.
• Supriya (8/5): Very good -
• Katie (8/5): Very good - Clean rooms with comfortable bed and very soft sheets. Powerful shower. Excellent fresh breakfast (fruit and hot cooked meal with eggs). Close by to restaurants/shops etc. Friendly and helpful staff.
• James (10/5): A really welcoming stay, would recommend to many others visiting Monteverde. - Freddy and his family are very friendly and helpful! Their breakfast was delicious and the room was immaculate, nice hot powerful shower too! Nothing
• Eliza (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gang (8/5): Very good -
• Claire (9/5): Great value for money! Loved our stay here - Delicious breakfasts; hosts were so nice and helpful and helped organize our activities quickly; good location close to town; great value for money Washroom could use a bit of updating , faucet was loose
• Alessia (9/5): Superb - Freddy is very helpful, good breakfast, good location
• Eunice (10/5): Very helpful host and delicious made-to-order breakfast! - This well-run place is a gem in Monteverde. Freddy & his family are very kind & caring, always keen to help their guests such as transport, directions or even problem with our rental car . Our room was cosy, very clean and has fast wifi & good hot shower. The daily made-to-order breakfast is extremely delicious! It consists of a fruit platter and a main that you can choose. Freddy made a special blend of freshly brewed coffee and it is the best we had in Costa Rica!. We stayed 2 nights and it was easy getting around. We are glad to have stayed at Freddy's Place while in Monteverde, Costa Rica, as the experience is more memorable when we got to interact with a local family. Nothing
