Guest Reviews
- Nizar (9/5): - Quiet location away from crowds and noise. Beautiful backyard. Very relaxing
- Carolina (10/5): - La casa es hermosa, super cómoda y muy bien equipada. Pasamos una excelente estadía. La cama del cuarto principal es muy cómoda. Cuenta con todo lo necesario para cocinar y la ubicación nos resultó muy buena. Karen siempre está atenta a los detalles y mantiene seguimiento con lo que se necesita, volvería a pasar mas días!
- Yvonne (10/5): -
- GOOD TIME STORIES (8/5): Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für einen Kurztrip - Die Unterkunft war gut zu finden, sehr schön ruhig gelegen und nicht allzuweit von unseren geplanten Aktivitäten mit dem Auto entfernt. Wir fanden es schön etwas mehr Platz zu haben als in anderen Unterkünften dieser Preiskategorie, auch wenn die Einrichtung etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Die Kommunikation mit den Besitzern lief super und war immer zuvorkommend. Das dunkle Holz in den Zimmern hat die Räume Tagsüber sehr dunkel gemacht, dafür war der Außenbereich schön aber zum Sitzen nicht sehr gemütlich. In einem Land wie Costa Rica sind Tiere in den Wohnungen unvermeidbar aber das Ameisennest in dem Behälter mit den Küchenutensilien und die vielen Kakalaken haben uns schon gestört und den Aufenthalt etwas unbehaglich gemacht.
- Martin (10/5): Sehr gerne wieder. Schöne große Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage - Tolle Lage und große Unterkunft
- Julie (8/5): Well equipped home with everything you could need. Close to town but far enough away for peace and quiet (other than loc -
- MICHELLE (8/5): We had a great time staying at the house. - The property is close to everything, making driving within distance. All restaurants are so close we could just walk if we wanted to. The house is nice and clean, kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Since it was so humid, we found that having a washer and dryer at the house helped a lot. Karen, the host was wonderful, she responded almost immediately to our requests. Thank you Karen!! Mosquitoes!!! We didn’t go out to the nice backyard/patio at all because the mosquitoes were crazy. The bedding was okay but i thought it is time for the host to change new crisp bedsheets and blankets. Mattress is a bit soft to my liking. But overall nothing to complaint about.
- Jasmin (10/5): Liebevoll eingerichtete komfortable Wohnung zentral gelegen - Sehr gute zentrale Lage. Schöne große Wohnung, top ausgestattet. Sehr schnelle Rückmeldungen bei Fragen und super Tipps. Die Wohnung ist mit viel Liebe zu kleinen Details eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts. Alle Unternehmungen sind super zu erreichen und es gibt viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten nahe dran.
Wir kommen gerne wieder🤗
- Nicole (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit richtig viel Platz. Nicht direkt im Centrum aber trotzdem sehr nah an La Fortuna und den Thermen. - Die Unterkunft war sauber und sehr groß.
Der Aussenbereich hat uns am besten gefallen. Sehr geschmackvoll und mit Liebe gestaltet. Es gibt nichts. Alles war wie beschrieben.

- Sophie (10/5): - Heerlijk verblijf in La Fortuna! Super comfortabel groot (2 meter breed!) bed, heerlijke warme regendouche, ruime kamers en fijn dat er nog zo’n groot gedeelte buiten is (keuken, zitplek, hangmat). Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en voelde echt als thuis! -
- Ana (9/5): Casita acogedora y limpia para estancia cerca del centro de la Fortuna - Nos gustó mucho la limpieza y la comodidad de las camas se duele deli ☺️ es una casita muy acogedora. La entrada fue autónoma y la comunicación fue muy fácil con Karen. En el viaje con mi mamá y mi perrita pequeña nos la pasamos muy bien.
En definitiva vamos a regresar. Las pantallas de las habitaciones creo que ya les hace falta cambiarlas por unas más modernas, nos funcionaban bien. Recomiendo que tengan una cuenta de Netflix contactada.
- Heiko (9/5): - Ausreichend großes Haus mit großer Terrasse, guter Ausstattung, ruhig und dennoch gut gelegen, wenn man mit dem Auto unterwegs ist. Parkplatz direkt vor dem Eingang. Waschen und trocknen ging problemlos. Leider kein Moskitonetze an den Fenstern. Lieber selbst welche mitnehmen.
- Nicolas (10/5): -
- Mikki (9/5): Rustig - Mooi ruim huis met een grote veranda en veel faciliteiten, zoals een wasmachine en fijne douche. Wij vonden de afstand tot het dorp fijn, daardoor is het heerlijk rustig. De muggen. Daar kan de eigenaar niets aan doen, maar we konden daardoor niet buiten zitten.
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - A beautiful, comfortable home. The beds were the softer kind which was really appreciated. Often we find ourselves sleeping on a hard as a board type mattress. Lounge area, Parilla, and bathroom were all very nice. The hot water is only in the bathroom, and it was consistent and hot. The A/C worked great as well.
The home is not on a main Street which provided a quiet evening and night. Easy to drive to in a regular vehicle. The only improvement to the home would be screens on the windows. There were several evenings where we wanted to open up the windows, but the mosquitos were too bad to do it.
- Jeronimo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Madis (10/5): Exceptional - Very compact and comfortable, king size beds and quiet ac’s. Nice backyard and close to the village and at the same time remote enough for a good night sleep. Nothing not to like.
- Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bri (10/5): Wonderful! - Absolutely wonderful house & host! Well equipped kitchen, beautiful and comfortable house, quiet at night, and Karen went above and beyond! Highly recommend. Nothing, it was fantastic!
- Beth (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable and close to town. Great terrace. Owner was very helpful.
- Urit (10/5): Wonderful apprtment, great location and facilities - The balcony was great and offered more space half-in half-out and the backyard is nice calm and green place to rest. There are screens for the windows that allowed to open the apparent, with minimum mosquitos.
The air conditioning was good and we also used the coffee machine, laundry and drier.
We forgot a shirt in the apparent and Karen made a great effort to get us have it back. The second room was a bit too small, the front sliding gate for the car park was a bit of a hassle and sometimes stucked.
- Alyssa (9/5): Gorgeous place with easy access to all the La Fortuna and Arenal activities! - Cerro Chato's house is gorgeous inside and out! Spacious and livable as well. Both bedrooms have air conditioning and comfortable beds. Came with plenty of space to keep your belongings too. The bathroom shower was lovely and they provide toilet paper, soap, and plenty of towels. The living room has two comfortable couches and TV for Netflix or other shows. There's a fan in the living room that works well too. The outdoor/indoor kitchen was nice and well equipped. We cooked breakfast every morning and was able to sit outside and watch the chickens in the backyard. Only thing I didn't like was that we didn't receive paper towels or napkins for the kitchen area to dry our hands. Otherwise no complaints!!
- Manuel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandra (9/5): Superb - Cute house with view of the volcano and with a little garden. 2 bedroom house with comfortable king size bed and one queen bed. Nice hangout area with hammock. The kitchen was well equipped (everything want you need) The host was very friendly and helpful. She speaks Spanish and English. Thank you for the hospitality. Nothing. All was like described and like the pictures showed.
- Morgan (9/5): Superb - Roomy, nice house
- Agarwal (9/5): Amazing place - The overall vibe of the place is quite good. The stay was really comfortable and the caretaker, Karen is very accessible and always happy to help. Especially the open bar area of the house is a piece of art. Go ahead and choose the place if you are looking for a peaceful cosy stay foe 4-5 people.
