Guest Reviews
- Lidieth (9/5): Muy agradable, instalaciones cómodas y muy cercanas a otros sitios turísticos. - la armonía con la naturaleza. Todo fue agradable.
- Paula (10/5): Mi alojamiento favorito de Costa Rica - La amabilidad y cercanía del personal en todo momento. Este ha sido uno de mis alojamientos favoritos en Costa Rica. El estudio tiene todo lo necesario, la cama es comodísima, todo limpio y amplio. El baño precioso, limpio y la ducha enorme!
Sin duda mi lugar favorito fue el balcón que daba a la selva. Disfrutamos muchísimo despertar con ese verdor y los sonidos de los pájaros y de la selva. Desayunar en este marco es algo que no olvidaremos. Facilidad de parqueo. nada!
- Daniel (6/5): -
- Oriane (9/5): Pour être au calme et profiter de la forêt - La vue sur la forêt pour prendre son petit dej en regardant les arbres et les oiseaux !
chambre très spacieuse avec petite cuisine attenante et balcon
Très agréable -
- Mónica (10/5): Muy recomendable, nos habría encantado quedarnos más tiempo - La ubicación es extraordinaria, el trato de todos nos hicieron sentir como en casa. El parque es hermosísimo, vimos muchos animales y se respira un ambiente de paz y belleza. Lo recomiendo mucho. Todo fue hermoso y perfecto.
- Cristina (8/5): -
- Vivi (10/5): Un lugar de paz - Nustra estancia fue fantástica. La cabaña está muy limpia, completamente equipada, es muy tranquila y privada. La terraza con vista al bosque es mágica, muy relajante y revitalizante. El personal es muy atento y muy profesional. Sin duda, volveré. Nada, todo fue perfecto.
- Verónica (6/5): - La ubicación, en medio de la selva y con mucha intimidad. La limpieza y estado de conservación de las instalaciones es muy mejorable. Solicitamos limpieza a fondo del baño puesto que los sanitarios se notaba que llevaban tiempo sin una limpieza a fondo, lo que se comprometieron a hacer. Al volver de pasar el día fuera, estaban las mismas manchas de cal en los mismos sitios.
La habitación requeriría de mosquiteras urgentemente para que pueda ventilarse bien sin que no entren hordas de mosquitos.
Siendo una de las zonas con mayor lluvia del mundo, el material del techo magnifica el sonido de las gotas y fueron varias las noches en las que resultó difícil dormir por el sonido ensordecedor de la lluvia contra la chapa del tejado.
- Jose (8/5): -
- Nouraaa (3/5): unfortunate how bad the service is for such a beautiful place - - Amazing location
- Clean
- Shampoo and soap provided
- Bed was comfortable
- Pillows were nice - The biggest issue was how long Karol took to get back to me whenever I needed any help and she's supposed to be the one at reception helping with any issues. There are only 2 cabins in the whole place - please tell me how this person is always on her phone whenever you see her at reception but takes hours to reply to you
- I was trying to save my cash but Karol told me that if I pay in cash, I'd save on taxes - but after I took every bit of my cash and paid her, after I got into my cabin I realized she charged me the full amount! When I inquired about it she tried to put me down and say that she did me a favour, her responses were very rude:

Karol:
Booking charges its own tax, and Cabañas El Bosque del Arenal does too if you pay by card.
Booking charges us a commission for your reservation; they call it a tax.
I didn't charge you our tax because you paid in cash. If you paid by card, I should have included the 13% tax in the total amount because, by law, I'm not allowed to evade taxes.
If Booking does include its tax, why should it charge it? It doesn't work for free. Booking earned $14.21 for your reservation.
I don't think it works for free.
I hope I explained myself well.
I didn't include the Costa Rican tax in your reservation. It's not included. Only the Booking.com tax on their website is theirs. Our tax is not included.
With Costa Rican tax, it would be $146.52."
______________
Whatever she said is all false!
whatever booking tells you the total is including tax is the total which was 129$ USD --- and without tax was around $114.
Karol thought I was stupid to think that she could charge me $146 if I paid by card.
Overall a very unprofessional FIRST interaction.

- had no hot water for the 3 days.
- Scott (7/5): Lovely room, but rural location, so best if you have a car. - The room was very spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and approachable. It is located about ten minutes from the center of La Fortuna and is very isolated. Some travelers will love this, but I wish I were located near restaurants and activities. An Uber cost $5-$6 each, which adds to the cost of staying there. I recommend it only for travelers with cars who enjoy seclusion.
