Guest Reviews

• Monika (8/5): - We appreciated the location very close to the beach and the possibility of borrowing the kayaks. The river was in front of our cottage. We could take the kayaks and go to the beach or go to explore the river . There was the jungle aroud so we had a feeling of privacy. The cottage was big with a good kitchen. The owner was not present in this accomodation, so it was a little bit impersonal. The cottage was very dark inside.
• Magdalena (10/5): - One of the best places to stay in Costa Rica ( I travel a lot). It's literally in the jungle, the villas are very cozy and you have absolute privacy. Very well equipped, great kitchen, you can barbecue outside while you see many species. Only don't forget to bring earplugs for the night. There is very loud little monkey which sounds like a jaguar 🐆. We had the best experience All was nice
• Ivonne (8/5): - Die Größe unseres Bungalow. Auf der Terrasse wirkt es am Nachmittag schon, als wäre es Abend. Sehr dunkel.
• olena (6/5): - Location is close to the beach, beautiful forest around the bungalow, no mosquitos, quick response from the host The bungalow is old needs some renovation, old & obviously very very used kitchen utensils for cooking and eating. It's better to have your own pans if you want to cook. Also no AC
• Hacer (9/5): Guter Ort zum Erholen - - schöne Unterkunft, ruhig gelegen und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht - nettes und hilfsbereites Personal - kostenloser Wäscheservice Im Bad gibt es keine Möglichkeit Handtücher aufzuhängen, wodurch diese nicht gut trocknen. Das könnte man noch ergänzen.
• Eric (10/5): Beautiful place close to Punta Uva beach - pure relaxation! - These are beautiful bungalows, surrounded by nature. We could watch animals in the garden every day just by sitting on our huge and cozy patio. While the bungalows are not brand new, they're well maintained and very lovely. The amazing beach is in 10 min walking distance. Kitchen has everything one needs, although not being luxurious. We had the best stay here during our 3 weeks trip. The Kajak tour from the hotel, starting next to the place, was just amazing. Hint: Ask for a rental bike and also explore Punta Uva & Manzanillo. honestly - nothing. Due to the open concept, some little termites found their way in - nothing harmful and just to be expected when you're living so close to nature.
• Julia (8/5): Schöne Unterkunft - Kajaks zur kostenlosen Nutzung, gut ausgestattete Küche (auch Kaffee, Wasser, Milch vorhanden), Moskitonetze über dem Bett, Aguti, Kolibri und Affen im Garten gesehen, Carlos spricht zwar kein Englisch, wir konnten uns dennoch verständigen Die Moskitos und die Riesenkakerlaken - lässt sich in der Natur jedoch nicht vermeiden… Vielleicht könnte der Müll unaufgefordert täglich abgeholt werden…
• Christine (10/5): Excellent location and more luxurious than anywhere else we stayed . - We loved the luxurious apartment with its well equipped outside kitchen . Its location was perfect for the beach and next to the river . One big bonus was the property lending out free kayaks and the owner Elise was incredibly helpful. It was not a bungalow and was not secluded enough in the gardens for my taste being near the communal outside showers . However the privacy screens helped . The bin for toilet tissues was not emptied once in our 3 night stay unfortunately.
• Randy (10/5): -
• Mojica Espinoza (10/5): - La cantidad de árboles y poder navegar por el río La cocina muy chica
• Pablo (10/5): Lugar increíble , tiene kayak y vimos muchos animales ! - La comodidad y estar en medio de la selva Estaba todo bien
• Hermes Andrés (10/5): - El bungalow es muy espacioso, los cuartos están muy bien amueblados, la terraza es cómoda y con excelente contacto con la naturaleza, siempre estaban los monos muy cerca entre otros animales Una parte muy pequeña del piso de la terreza requiere una leve mejora para evitar que continúe su deterioro.
• Alenna (9/5): It was very fun, relaxing, and beautiful. - Great distance to the beach, staff very friendly and patient, house clean and very nice, plenty of beds for everyone, lovely front porch, close to a store, beautiful area Only one full bathroom for 9 person house, price on booking.com not very accurate (ended up being around $100 more in the end than stated on website)
• Hèctor H. R (7/5): God valuta for pengene - Vår hytte var privat, lite innsyn fra andre gjester. Gratis lån av kayak. En kakerlakk i senga. Trangt kjøkken og bad.
• Chloé (10/5): Un séjour au cœur de la forêt! - La nuit en totale immersion dans la jungle était incroyable! La possibilité de prendre des kayaks selon nos envies et la disponibilité d’Elias! C’était parfait.
• Michel (8/5): - Ambiance et chambre bien fournie Ras
• Angie (9/5): Relaxing - The green, the locations and the house, all great, they have fans and AC for the common room, and hot water, nor a required for me, but it was a nice surprise. I saw one of the guys working in the property feeding the animals, I get that there are tourists that value this kind of action, but as local, I am aware of the hurting of this practices in the wildlife, so I would value if instead of perpetuating this idea, it will be better to avoid it and educate other tourist.
• Iratxe (9/5): - Great location near the beach.
• Madriz I (8/5): -
• Myrsini (7/5): - The location is very convenient, just 10-15 minutes walk to Punta Uva. The room is well equipped, and guests can access the kayaks for free. The single beds are somewhat small for adults. Considering the high humidity in the area, having a cloth hanger would help to dry the towels and clothes.
• Paul (9/5): -
• Isabel (10/5): -
• Kenia (10/5): Excepcional - Me encantó !!! Muy cómodo, limpio, el personal muy amable
• Melissa (4/5): Beautiful, but not if you want to sleep - The room itself is beautiful, well decorated, quality materials and complete kitchen. They have kayaks available to go explore the river through the jungle- you can see sloths and monkeys and turtles and birds. The owner, Elisa, and the workers were all available whenever you need anything and Elisa allowed us to cancel the last two nights of our stay. We couldn't sleep. The room was right above the laundry room and the workers apartment, and worst of all - the water pump for the whole property. It went off anytime any guest on the property uses water- shower, toilet, sink and sounded like a garbage disposal going off next to your ear, so it woke us up every couple of minutes. Also the mattress isn't amazing, unless you sleep alone. It is kind of like sleeping on a trampoline. My husband almost left to try and sleep in the car. You might want to try one of the other cabins on the property, hopefully in the middle, not too close to the water pump, not too close to the street.
• Jacob (10/5): -
• PATRICIA (9/5): Séjour dans un joli bungalow - Le bungalow et ses équipements. La proximité avec la rivière et la possibilité d'y faire du kayak. Belle promenade. La présence des singes hurleurs et des agoutis. La possibilité de communiquer avec la propriétaire par WhatsApp. La route trop proche. Par chance, il y a peu de circulation la nuit. Dommage que les propriétaires ne soient pas sur place.
• Elke (7/5): -
• Paula (10/5): - The bungalow stay was really nice. The rooms are well equipped and you can sit nicely on the patio. While I stayed there a sloth and two groups of monkeys passed by so you could see them directly on the site. Kayaking (rental for free) on the river and towards the sea was fantastic. Carlos was really helpful and friendly. Small downside, not many restaurants in walking distance so you have to drive at night a bit.
• Frank (9/5): Dschungelfeeling pur - kleines Paradies im Urwald, fußläufig zum einsamen Strand. nur das Wetter
• Juan Carlos (10/5): -
• Pat (9/5): Beautiful setting, hear the howler monkeys and birds - Kitchen was very good for making breakfast and lunch. Kayaks were great, you can paddle the river saw lots of turtles, a river Otter and monkeys Would have liked a bigger bed, only a double size now, could use more pillows. The workers did not speak English and never met the host, but she responded on what's app right away
• Hector (10/5): Excepcional - Excepcional. Limpio, agradable y con excelente ubicación.
• Gaby BC (9/5): - Excelente ubicación. Muy bien todo! ...
• Meike (10/5): - Die Häuser liegen in einem wunderschönen Garten und sind liebevoll eingerichtet. Man kann die Kanus umsonst nutzen, das ist ein Highlight. Elisa ist sehr um ihre Gäste bemüht.
• Jordi (9/5): - Muy buena localización en una finca ambientada selva caribeña llena de detalles a menos de 5 minutos de Playa Uva andando. Relación calidad precio excelente. Personal muy atento, cuidan mucho la limpieza del entorno y te prestan kayaks para navegar por la quebrada de la parcela. Lodges confortables, limpios y equipados.
• Jordi (10/5): - La tranquilidad, el entorno y la amabilidad de Elisa.
• Rubén (8/5): Para aventureros y tolerantes a los bichitos. - Las canoas que te llevan en 5 minutos al paraíso, la playa de Punta Uva. Le falta un sofá. Hay muchos bichos merodeando las cabañas porque están en medio de la jungla
• Miriam (8/5): Recommended - Nice hidden family home with large porch, with beautiful kayaking trips on the river to spot animals Playa Punta Uva is within walking distance, everything else is far if you do not have your own transportation
• Emily (9/5): A completely magical experience. - The grounds and location and the staff were excellent Nothing!
• rob (9/5): Prima verblijf, kajaks zijn pluspunt! - Ruime, schone cabin op een prima locatie. Punta Uva is om de hoek en Cahuita is nog geen 30 min rijden. Het ligt aan een rivier waar de brulapen, luiaarden, spidermonkeys, schildpadden etc. In overvloed zijn. Je kunt zelf met de kajaks de rivier op (Aanrader!) Geen airco, dus redelijk warm! En uiteraard in een jungle lodge heb je ook beestjes in de Cabin...
• Alicia (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful bungalows surrounded by gorgeous jungle and animals. Bunglaows are clean & comfortable & have everything you need & more. Wonderful staff who truly go above and beyond 🙏 I absolutely loved my stay! ❤️
• Kerry (10/5): Perfect - The jungle, the free kayaks, sitting in the deck with my morning tea, the howlers, the beach, everything! Nothing. It was a jungle home from home
• Jana (10/5): Amazing location and great accommodation. - Amazing location right in the forest, but close to the road and walking distance to beautiful beach. The house had everything you needed. We were able to see many animals from our terrace. Amazing! Would definitely come back. It would be nice to have some string for hanging your wet clothes. Since located in the forest it is very humid and the terrace rail is too thick to dry your clothes.
• Nataliya (10/5): House in the jungle with easy access to beach by river (kayaking) or by walking. -
• Jacqueline (10/5): A great place to stay, to enjoy, a real winner! - This property is gorgeous and the staff is excellent and accommodating. The bungalow was well supplied, and just a perfect place to enjoy nature and to chill out. We kayaked to the ocean and watched sloths in the trees. I would highly recommend this property.
• Alicia (10/5): Perfect - The location was great. Walking distance to Punta Una. The free use of Kayaks anytime we wanted was wonderful! Our Bunglow was surrounded by beautiful gardens & felt private. The Bunglow had everything we needed and the host was extremely helpful & answered all our questions very quickly. The staff and host extremely nice & went beyond to make our trip special. Will stay again!
• Mathieu (7/5): Good - Terrasse of the bungalow Not so central in Puerto Viejo.
• Haidi (7/5): It was ok, nice place! - Close to the beach Poor internet, no air conditioning
• Veronika (9/5): Superb -
• Heather (10/5): Exceptional - Location. Waking up with howler monkeys. Sloths in the trees. The use of kayaks. Kayaking down to the beach. N/a
• Cheryl (10/5): Great Place to stay. Would go back! - Great location near the beach. Staff worked well with our requests. Would definitely go back.
• Benno (10/5): We had a very nice few days at the Jungle River Lodge. The lodges are surrounded by beautiful trees and plants and alth - - Very beautiful surrounding with lots of plants - Kayak for free - Very good support from manager
• Makiko (9/5): Amazing Kayaking on the river! - Excellent location! Just a few minute-walk to the best beach in the area and a few minute-drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Kayaking on the river was magical. We spotted sloths, turtles and an iguana along the way. All the staff and the owner were very nice and helpful. We knew this when booking but not having AC was a small challenge though the fan really helped!
• Andrew (10/5): Magical time, beach and rainforest all in one. - Great location for one of the best beaches in Costa Rica and wonderful surroundings. The kayaks are also a must! Keep in-mind that this a jungle bungalow with no AC and surrounded by noises of all sorts of animals, so set your expectations accordingly (not for light sleepers). We had breakfast and dinners on the little patio outside in March, no issues with mosquitoes for us. A little too close to a road, but given the noises of the howler monkeys at sunrise and other animals, you'll be up early anyway.
• Daniel (7/5): Good - All the wildlife. Kayaks for free. Friendly service. The bed was horrible. If one of us moved, it shook the whole bed, making it very hard to sleep. Plus, the bed creaked anytime you moved.
• Caitlin (9/5): Superb - Hosts were excellent!!
• Rowan (9/5): It’s a lovely place that is comfortable and clean with a great location within walking distance to great beaches! - The property is lovely and the casita was comfortable and clean. The location was also great as we could easily walk to beautiful beaches within 15 minutes. I also enjoyed the lack of a tv so we could relax more into the jungle vibe. The shower had low water pressure, but that’s common in that area so not really the property’s fault.
• Nicola (8/5): Very good - Lovely setting, very comfortable. Kitchen well appointed. Appreciated the free use of kayaks. Bed was rather small but one of us was able to use the sofa bed
• Brian (8/5): Very good -
• Jim (9/5): Superb - It was perfectly situated in the jungle yet close to the beach. If you want to wake up to the sound of birds, monkeys and nature at your doorstep then this is the place for you! Maybe a map of the area and local restaurants? No big deal though.
• Armando (9/5): Superb -
• Nadja123 (10/5): Loved it - We really enjoyed our stay a lot. We had a beautiful little house near the river, with a hot shower and a comfortable bed, also an extra living room and a little kitchen. Could see monkeys and sloths, agutis and a lot of other different wildlife from our terrace. Free water, laundry and kayaks. Everything was really clean and only 5 min walk to the beach. Helped us with everything we needed. A tuktuk to puerto viejo takes about 10 mins. Everyone was really friendly we would def come again.
• Amy (10/5): Elisa made our stay a great experience. She went above and beyond in all our dealings with her. -
• Sarah (4/5): disappointing for us - the location is quite nice and the garden is pretty. the photos look great, however we got a bungalow that is not depicted. The house we got was dirty (kitchen floor, appliances, bedroom hammock, bathroom) and unfortunately during our stay we only saw 1 person when we arrived. did mention it to the lady on the phone who seemed nice. All in all we were disappointed.
• Santi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (8/5): Very good - location was good and Elisa was responsive via WhatsApp the beds were very hard.
• Luis (8/5): Very good -
• Charles (3/5): Poor -
• Alexander (10/5): Just amazing and lovely. Lucky me that I was able to extend my stay for more 3 days - I loved the simplicity and the location of the lodge. Everything environmentally proper in the midst of nature and very close to an amazing beach. In the morning I heard the gang of Howler Monkeys - just beautiful to be part of nature at Pachamama. The host Elisa was so caring and lovely - just amazing. On my day of my arrival in San Jose she guided me from the airport to that very lovely and still affordable place which I arrived at night. The next morning she came with a frog in her hand and showed my the kayaks. One hour later, I made this breathtaking small river journey to this gorgeous beach - just amazing...
• Duncan (4/5): Could be a great place to stay but really needs some attention to details - No breakfasts provided even though website said differently. Poor internet. Poor water supply. Lack of bedside lights and general feeling of neglect.
• Ernst (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable and beautifully stiled cabanas in the jungle, best beach of The coast on walking distance, great staff!
