Guest Reviews
- Ram (9/5): -
- Kerstin (9/5): Schöne Lodge! - Die Unterkunft liegt nah am Poas und ist idealer Startpunkt für Touren dort. Die Zimmer waren riesig, das Bett ebenfalls und uns hat der Kamin gefallen, auch wenn wir ihn nicht angemacht haben. Das Personal war freundlich.
Wir mochten die rustikale Atmosphäre.
Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr lecker und um die Ecke gibt es einen kleinen Supermarkt und auch ein weiteres leckeres Restaurant. Die 4 Wasserfälle in der Nähe der Unterkunft (hinter dem Catarata La Paz) sind empfehlenswert.
- Liza (9/5): - Super Lage am Vulkan Poas.
Für 1 Nacht reicht es..länger würde ich nicht bleiben Dunkles Zimmer. Enge Anlage und man hört alles.
- Linghui (10/5): Great all around! - Great location for explore waters falls and volcanoes and farms. Friendly stuff put a lot of love in the clean room. The small electronic fireplace added so much joy to the chili night. I enjoyed every morning and the evenings the amazing view just out of my door and window. Great value for the area. Hotel and restaurant I well kept. I added one more day. Nothing
- Cristhian (1/5): Please STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. This was by far the worst experience I’va had in all my travels - Not much Hotel is located right next to the main road, and the room has extremely poor sound insulation. It feels like your bed is practically on roadside, you car hear every truck, loud motorcycle and people revving their cars late into the night.
To make matters worse, the restaurant (which used to close at 9PM) is being turned into a bar. During the weekend we stayed there, the music was unbelievably loud and continued until 2AM. Even after the bar closed, people stayed in the parking lot making even more noise. It honestly seems like the owners do not care about their guests at all.
We originally booked 3 nights, but after the second sleepless night, we decided to leave early. I would rather lose the money than stay there another night
- ELENA (8/5): Estancia correcta cerca del volcan poas - Ubicacion cerca del vocan poas y de supermercado y restaurante
Buen precio por noche
Opcion de desayuno con coste extra en el redtaurante del hotel Cerca de la carretera principal, ruido del trafico.
Tiene restaurante abajo que la noche que estuvimos estuvieron con karaoke hasta tarde. Puede que fuera por sen fin de semana, se oia pero pudimos descansar
- Juan (9/5): -
- sabrina (8/5): - Personnel d’une grande gentillesse, lits confortables.
Nous n’avons pas eu froid (début mai)
Restaurant correct.
Très bien localisé pour aller à la fois au volcan poas et aux cascades de la paz (magnigiques) Bruit de la route à côté selonnles camions qui passent pas d’eau chaude à la fin de nos 4 douches rapides (mais eau chaude au debut).
Notre chambre n’avait pas de bouilloire.
- Joanna (10/5): - We stayed at the hotel on our way to Poas Volcano, which is about a 15-minute drive away. There are several shops and restaurants nearby. The room was very clean and cozy. A big plus was the heater in the room, which came in handy at night, and the hot water in the shower. n/a
- Batia (9/5): - Nice place for one night, food at restuarant was very good. Very amall room, Bathroom very small, no shampoo, no soap.
- Randy (9/5): Best restaurant in the country -
- Dirk (5/5): - Gute Ausgangslage für den Poas- Nationalpark, nur 15 Minuten mit dem Auto.
Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, auch bei späterem Check-in. Zimmer sehr kalt und feucht, Kamin zwar vorhanden aber nicht mutzbar, nur ein kleiner Heizlüfter, nicht ausreichend.

- Gilberto Luis Sanches (10/5): -
- Ernst Georg (8/5): -
- Jimmy (7/5): Bien pour une nuit . Demander une chambre au calme. Cloisons trop minces - Correct. Belle escale montagnarde pres du poas.
Bon lit. Eau chaude même dur lavabo
Chauffage d'appoint couvertures. Charmant. Machine à café. Bel accueil serviettes de bain, tapis de bain, ..etc Les cloisons en papier mâché. Nous avons subi des américains amoureux toute la nuit en live. Horrible!
- Julie (8/5): -
- Joao (8/5): Bon hôtel pour Poas - La chambre est sympa , petit hôtel style chalet Rien de spécial
- Isamac (10/5): - Very Easy for check in. Service was Awesome, Awesome Staff. Breakfast was GREAT THERE FRENCH TOAST 😋 👌 PINEAPPLE 🍍 SO SWEET AWESOME AWESOME everything
20min drive to Entrance off POÀS VOLCANO 🌋 Cannot complain about nothing very nice and quite place .....
- Vanessa (8/5): -
- Chantal (9/5): - Sweet little cabin — or at least that’s exactly what the room felt like.
We had an incredible amount of space. The beds were very comfortable, and the heater was more than enough to keep us warm during the cold night — plus there are thick blankets available.
We were welcomed very warmly and felt completely at ease. The restaurant next door is good, though a bit on the pricier side.
A perfect base for exploring the nearby Poás Volcano. It was a bit noisy, as the walls are not very soundproof.
- Alain (8/5): -
- Jana (9/5): Hervorragend für den Besuch des Poas-Vulkans - Die Hotelanlage ist sehr schön. Die Gastfreundschaft hier ist beeindruckend.. Das Restaurant ist sehr gemütlich und das Essen war hervorragend. Die Temperatur in der Dusche konnte gut eingestellt. Uns fehlten Aufhängemöglichkeiten für die nassen Handtücher..
Aufgrund der Hotellage an einer Kreuzung ist der Verkehrslärm sehr stark, was aber vom Hotel nicht beeinflussbar ist.
- ALAIN (10/5): Excellent hotel - Très bon accueil. Chambre spacieuse et très confortable.
Hotel facile à trouver et très proche du volcan Poas.
- sylvie (9/5): - Le calme, la situation, la propreté
- Michel (9/5): -
- IGNACIO (9/5): Muy satisfechos - La ubicación con respecto al Volcán Poas Todo bien
- Claudia (7/5): -
- Alejandro (9/5): Muy agradable -
- Monge (8/5): -
- Leonardo (6/5): Funcional para visitar la zona - La comida es muy rica y estaba muy limpio La música del restaurante se escucha en los cuartos del segundo piso.
- Silvana (8/5): - El personal y el cafecito de la habitación. Camas cómodas y limpio. Con un restaurante para comer muy bien. Que la ducha salía fría, eramos 4 y 2 se bañaron con agua helada. Una pena.
- ILoveToGoAWandering (9/5): - A great choice for accomodations when heading to Poás Volcano NP. The restaurant serves excellent steaks. N/A
- R Ale (10/5): -
- Denis Martís (8/5): Habitación amplia y muy limpia, ideal como parada cerca del volcán Poás o camino a La Fortuna - Nos encantó el tamaño de la habitación y lo limpia que estaba. Es una parada perfecta para descansar si vas al volcán Poás o de camino a La Fortuna. Las camas son muy cómodas y la ducha es excelente. Hacía un poco de frío en la habitación. Aunque dispone de chimenea, preferimos no usarla para evitar que nuestras cosas se impregnaran de humo. Por poner un pequeño pero, echamos en falta un espejo más grande. Aun así, es un detalle menor que no desmerece la experiencia.
- Aitor (6/5): -
- Adrian (8/5): Very good hotel, not far from Poas volcano site. - The hotel is easy to find, located on the main road, not far from the Poas volcano site.
The personnel is kind and willing to help. The room was rather large, though not sound proof (seems to be a common feature of hotels in Costa Rica), so if the room is on the street side it could be noisy from the traffic.
The room was clean and had a comfortable bed.
Overall it was a very good stay. Traffic noise, if the room is located on the side of the street.
- Guillaume (9/5): Top - Personnel très agréable et aidant.
Très bon rapport qualité prix RAS
- Bardos Sandor (10/5): -
- Vanessa (10/5): - the Manager was super helpful
- Matcarlitos (7/5): -
- Jacqueline (10/5): -
- Kemler (6/5): - Bien placé. Check out à midi , ce qui permet de visiter le parc de Poas le matin avant de partir
Restaurant attenat à l'hôtel. Tâche de moisissure dans une des chambres. Un des chauffages ne fonctionnait pas. Le tapis de notre chambre était tres salle.
- Donald (9/5): - Very conveniently located for Poas Volcano National Park.
- Alejandro (9/5): Bon allotjament per la zona! - Allotjament amb vistes boníssimes i relativament aprop de diferents llocs per visitar
- Doris (9/5): Gute Lage - guter Preis - Das Zimmer war klein aber absulut ausreichend für eine Nacht. Wir haben gut geschlafen. Im Restaurant haben wir ein sehr gutes Steak gegessen, unbedingt probieren.
Auch am Frühstück gab es nichts auszusetzen.
- Kendall (8/5): Great location with a delicious restaurant on site! - We loved the property’s close proximity to the drive up to Volcan Poas, restaurants, and food market. The accommodations were cute and the food at the locations restaurant was delicious! The other rooms had access to a beautiful garden and cute layout. Our room was the most isolated from the cute garden area and is right next to a busy highway where you can hear trucks most of the night. Maybe more soundproofing could help this but it was pretty loud even with the windows closed. All of the other rooms were tucked further away from the road and are probably a bit quieter.
- Monika (8/5): - Nice clean room, good location between Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Everything fine.
- Darin (9/5): - Overall, the food was great and the service was excellent. The location Is convenient but also a downside because of the road noise. The parking in the back was a little tight. The walls are a little thin and the proximity to the road lends to it being a little noisy at times.
- celine (8/5): - Jolie chambre en bois
- Peter Hronsky (10/5): -
- Rivera (10/5): - Hotel tipo "cabañoso" con todo lo indispensable, muy bonito y limpio. El personal muy amable

- Giselle (9/5): -
- Gerhard (7/5): - Zimmer schön kein KS, Frühstücl zusätzlich ok , etwas laut, für 2 ÜN ok, sonst mittelmässig Nachdem der Kommentar nicht aufscheint - kein Komm
- Armstrong (9/5): -
- Krzysztof (10/5): Polecam to miejsce w drodze na wulkan Poas - Blisko lotniska i blisko wulkanu Poas. Bardzo sympatyczna dziewczyna w recepcji hotelu. Śniadanie mogło by być nieco wcześniej, bo jak ktoś ma wizytę w parku od 8.00 to nie zdarzy zjeść
- Steve Schaller (9/5): Wooden Interior - We planned on visiting Parque Nacional Volanco Poas while staying at La Paz, so it was a terrific location. This was also the first time that we had to turn up the heat in Costa Rica because of the mountain climate. We loved the all wood interior design of the room and the lovely garden and flowers surrounding on walkway. The attached restaurant was delicious and we ordered room service every night there. It was very reasonable and fast service. One thing that would have been helpful is for the hotel to be able to make reservations for guests visiting Poas Volcano NP. Every National Park requires electronic reservations, which are difficult when travelers don't have a cell phone. That service would have made our visit to the park easier. But I didn't ask for assistance because of the language barrier. A placard informing guests that they could make reservations would be appreciated.
- Nils (9/5): Saubere Unterkunft mit netten Gastgebern - Die Übernachtung war unsere erste Nacht in Costa Rica. Wir waren nur eine Nacht hier. Es war sauber, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist top. Die Lage ist super. Wir konnten unsere Koffer schon vor dem Check-In abgeben, die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich. Es war durchweg sehr gut.
- John (8/5): - Good location, clean. Walls were thin and could hear conversations next-door while trying to sleep.
- Felicia (10/5): - The place is clean. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Locatiob is great, close to the airport while you can see the nice scenery of the mountain side. The place is even equipped with a fire-place look-alike electric heater for use in the evening when the temperature drops in the evening. The restaurant is handy and provides nice food. The walls are a bit thin for sound insulation. Can hear conversations from next room if they're a bit loud. Luckily our neighbours spoke in a different language, so it wasn't as distracting. Despite this, we had good sleep. The bed was very comfortable.
- Juan Pablo (8/5): Bien para ir al Volcán Poas - Bien ubicado Nos bañamos 4, 2 con agua caliente y 2 con agua fría
- louis-jean (9/5): - Son emplacement
La mise à disposition de café
- Charlotte ALEXANDRE (9/5): - Très jolie chambre, bien décorée et très bien équipée. Une des plus jolies que nous ayons eues au cours de nos 2 semaines de voyage. Emplacement idéal pour visiter le volcan Poas, environ 15-20 minutes. Excellent rapport qualité prix. Dommage de ne pas inclure le petit déjeuner dans le prix de départ. Sinon j'aurais mis 10.
- Christine (9/5): -
- Caroline (10/5): -
- Evgeny (10/5): - I stayed in suite and really liked it!
Wood room with fireplace.
Comfy bed and good quality bedsheets.
Really hot shower what is important for mi in cold places.
I Totally recommend this place!

- BEATRIZ (3/5): -
- Christian (8/5): Schöne Lage in den Bergen - Lage nahe dem Vulkan Hellhörig
Stinkt oft nach Rauch
war kalt auf dem Zimmer
- Katja (7/5): Etwas lieblos geführt - Ein praktisches Zimmer mit gutem Bett. WC Spülung funktioniert nicht, Seifenspender ist auch kaputt.
- Valérie blanchard (8/5): - Personnel très agréable, chambre sympathique avec une petite cheminée -chauffage qui est très agréable.
Bon restaurant. Rien
- Gregory (9/5): Adapté pour une soirée avant le volcan Poas - Le respect des indications et l’emplacement pour visiter Poas Nos rideaux n’occultaient pas correctement la lumière extérieure, la literie est en partie à changer dans un lit sur 3.
- Manninen (9/5): Very comfortable. - No breakfast but a good kitchen with a fridge. ....?
- Maria del Carmen (5/5): - Hotel normalito para la primera noche en Costa Rica de camino al Volcán Poas. Nosotros cogimos un apartamento con 3 habitaciones. Llegamos de noche y cenamos en el mismo restaurante. La comida muy buena y el personal muy amable En el apartamento hacía frío. Tienen calefactores en las habitaciones que ayudan a entrar en calor.
No había agua caliente en la ducha
El resto, normalito para 1 noche de paso
- fernando (10/5): - Il personale, tutte donne bravissime e gentilissime, è stato super sin dall' inizio. Avevo sbagliato le date della presentazione ma la ragazza alla reception è rimasta super tranquilla e mi ha risolto il problema. La cucina è perfetta con piatti tipici e anche ricette più internazionali. Soprattutto è aperta fino a tardi mentre intorno chiudono quasi tutti alle 18.00. doccia calda.
- Sabrina (8/5): Schöne Zimmer, gute Lage - Gute Betten, Badezimmer war neu.
Ohne Frühstück gebucht, welches aber im anschließenden Restaurant von einer Karte ausgewählt werden konnte.
Sehr gute Lage zum Vulkan Poas (ca. 15 min Fahrt)
Wir kamen aufgrund eines Unfalls nach 21 Uhr an und es wurde uns eine Schlüsselbox installiert, dass wir zu unseren Schlüsseln kommen. Ebenso wurde uns ein genauer Plan übermittelt wie alles funktioniert und wo wir parken können, etc. Ziemlich kalt und es gab nur einen kleinen Elektroofen.
Es gab aber noch zusätzliche Decken zur Verfügung.
- Luis Gonzalez M (10/5): Paz y tranquilidad con un excelente servicio - Sin duda la atención de todo el personal fue increíble, tanto del hotel como del restaurante, todos fueron muy simpáticos y te brindan un buen servicio. Realmente uno se desconecta del bullicio de la capital. Todo estuvo perfecto, tal vez solo darle referencias al personal sobre lugares turísticos cercanos para que puedan guiar a los visitantes que buscan actividades cerca.
- carine (9/5): -
- Yana (10/5): - The staff was very kind and helpful. The room was very clean. The location is perfect between the Volcano and the La Paz Waterfall gardens, next to the one of the best restaurateurs. Don’t speak English. I would be nice to have a window in front of the bed, but it is ok.
- Fiona (10/5): Very nice - Lovely, comfortable room with a great view. 10min drive from Volcan Poas NP (book volcano visit online in advance).
Extra blanket and heater in the room were welcome!
Great restaurant downstairs and very helpful staff The restaurant was freezing, diners were wrapped in blankets!
- Wanda (10/5): Excelente lugar. 100% recomendado. - Las habitaciones son hermosas y amplias. Todo estaba muy limpio. El servicio del personal es excelente. El lobby y restaurante están juntos. El restaurante no tiene buen sistema de ventilación y el olor de la comida siempre da en la recepción.
