Guest Reviews

• Dennis (10/5): - Suenos is asking for employee theft. We paid for the room in cash. No receipt. We paid for a guide in cash. No receipt.
• Marilyn (8/5): - Nice place Good food and friendly staff.
• Anni (2/5): - hotelli perui yöpymisen viime tipassa
• Yves (10/5): Super havre de fraîcheur - Superbe endroit. Chambre et excursion ont été fantastique. ( Nous avons vu des quetzals ) . Piste et route très praticables. La randonnée autours de l hôtel vaut d y passer une heure .Undétail Il a fait 10 degrés celcius la nuit ca change des températures de bord de mer. Heureusement le chauffage d appoint est fourni et eau chaude à volonté ‘
• Norris (8/5): Bad road, nice place. - Amazing property once we got settled in. Incredibly bad road, 7 miles of single lane, lots of traffic and tour busses. Actual stay was 1 kilometer away from resort shown on web site. Beautiful grounds, gracious staff, great dinner. We were one of the only customers not with a tour. Birders galore.
• Gregory (10/5): - Everyone was so friendly and professional. Their guide, Carlos, was amazing in spotting Quetzals. So worth the early morning arrival time. Food was delicious. Internet was great, we wanted to book a second night, but could not communicate via website or what’s app. Otherwise. Excellent.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Regresaré de nuevo ... - Muy agradable las habitaciones y la zona. Ya he estado en unos cinco ocasiones en el lugar. En esta ocasión la habitación era una cabaña, bien equipada. Estaba bien limpia. Sábanas, cobijas, paños limpios. Dos observaciones: un sofá con una rotura en la tela. Al ingresar la cabaña olía un poco a humedad. Servicio amable. Excelente el desayuno.
• Ronil (6/5): - The property is situated in a quiet area from the normal hustle and bustle of the property. We liked that the parking attendant was friendly and so was the front office staff. What the hotel lacked was proper amount of blanket for the cold weather and shower that drained properly. While we were there for two nights, we tired to use the fireplace to keep ourselves warm, but the chimney was quite small and the room would quickly fill up with smoke. The drive to the property was quite arduous as the roads are not fully paved. Overall, for the price we paid and the amenities that were provided, we would not visit the property again. Overall an OK experience.
• ERICK (10/5): - This is a beautiful hotel, with a lake, a hanging bridge through the forest and a waterfaĺl. A place must stay
• Jossy Alexander (10/5): Excelente, recomendado. - Excelente todo, muy bonito el lugar, San Gerardo nunca falla.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Cumple las expectativas. Ambiente seguro y tranquilo. Orden y limpieza en las habitaciones. Dentro del hotel hay senderos, cascada, puente colgante, lago, acceso al río, lo cual es muy ventajoso. Precioso el jardín y bellísimas las suculentas. La comida es deliciosa y las porciones generosas. Los bizcochitos y el pancito de cortesía en el desayuno fueron la cereza del pastel. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.
• Bernal (8/5): - El lugar es muy agradable, el desayuno fue abundante pero puede mejorarse, me refiero al sabor
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved our stay at Sueños del Bosque! The rooms and the common areas were super clean, all the waiters and cleaning ladies were wearing masks, you have to wash your hands before entering the restaurant, everything felt very safe. The lake is lovely, the weather is great to get cozy, and the river is heard from the cabins which is great to rest and relax. There are several easy walks you can do surrounded by trees and mountains that will help you recharge. Highly recommended!
• Carlos (10/5): Un lugar para regresar - Es un lugar bello, relajante, un excelente servicio. La comida deliciosa, el Staff del lugar se esmera por que la estancia de los huéspedes sea placentera
• Diana (10/5): - Amazing overall stay!! Staff was friendly and food was delicious (the service was a bit slow, so don’t wait until you are too hungry to go to restaurant). We went during the COVID pandemic so the slow service might have to do with that. Trails, horses, little boats, river, views, all great!!
• Nancy (10/5): - De los lugares más lindos que he visitado en mi vida❤️. Volvería mil veces más. Es mágico
• Verified traveler (6/5): - El lugar el precioso, el lago y los jardines inclusive. Las dos habitaciones que tienen chimenea no están frente al lago ni tienen vista a este (detalle que no se especifica a la hora de visualizar las mismas), además que la chimenea está en una esquina de la habitación (no en el medio) y el cuarto tiene un techo muy alto, es difícil calentarlo con una pequeña chimenea en esas condiciones. El baño no es muy bonito y es poco espacioso, no hay donde poner las cosas. El agua apenas sale caliente y es con un flujo de agua bajo, si se sube un poquito el volumen de agua entonces sale fría.
• SuenosdelBosque (10/5): - Good location Nice trails Good food .
• Monica (10/5): Un sueño Los Sueños! - Un experiencia muy agradable! El lugar muy bonito, los chicos del restaurante super amables y siempre atentos, en especial gracias a Luis! Desayuno completo, café delicioso...mi familia la pasó super compartiendo con la naturaleza.
• Alexandre (8/5): good Expérience. - Personnel très sympathique. Les chambres sont simples mais propres. Le cadre est parfait. Le rapport qualité/prix par rapport aux autres hôtels est correct. Le petit déjeuner est très bien. De plus, il y a un chemin pour tenter d’observer le Quetzal. Concernant l’accès, cela se fait très bien. Je suis monté en 2x2 par temps de pluie. Je recommanderai un 4x4 aux personnes n’ayant pas d’expérience sur chemin et montagne. Nb: début novembre il fait frais, les chambres ne sont pas chauffées. Cependant, les couvertures permettent de ne pas avoir froid la nuit.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful place.We did not have enough time to visit all the natural places that are near the hotel. It is a place to relax and enjoy nature. Spectacular food. Very cold at night.
• charles (8/5): Un paysage Suisse au Costa Rica - Tres beau cadre, excellent pour du calme et repos.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Great location but we found property v cold. Restaurant was v cold too so unwelcoming.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - This is a great quiet spot with lots of hiking. The restaurant was fabulous with great food.
• magda (10/5): Great Place! - The bed was not too great and every time you move it sounds a lot! The hot water was like on and off and hard to have it working with stable temperature. For the rest the place is super nice!T
• Verified traveler (10/5): Adentrado en la montaña - Muy bponito el lugar, altamento recomendable.
• Lisa (8/5): Nature in the cloud forest - Beautiful property in the cloud forest. Nice spacious rooms on a small property allowing you to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
• Wendy (8/5): Lindo y accesible Hotel - Es un lugar muy lindo y accesible, deben mejorar un poco los servicios en el Restaurante y la señalización de los senderos, pero en general todo estuvo muy bien
• Deiby (10/5): Excelente para disfrutar en pareja - Lugar estupendo y súper recomendado
• Barry (10/5): Beds were too firm for me and my wife - The best parts of the stay were the amazing service (for example when we arrived it was raining and someone at reception came out with umbrellas for both of us), the location (close to where you can see quetzals) and the food. We had the tilapia one night and salmon another. The bird guide, Carlos we got through Juan at the lodge was outstanding. We were there in April and if was cool and we had to keep the tiny electric heater on full blast day and night to stay warm. Be sure to walk to the lodge next door to see a good variety of hummingbirds.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location but really off the beaten track. Once there, there isn't that much to do. Room was very cold. Only heating is a fire place.
• Teresa (10/5): - Everyone was very nice and helpful
• Verified traveler (10/5): Best value in the area - Great sRaffle, well maintained grounds, really need de Restaurant and large comfortable room. Can’t beat it on this strip of places in quetzal territory. Highly recommended for at least two nights.
• charles (10/5): Exeptionnel - Exceptionnel, cadre, confort, service et gentillesse .
• Xavier (8/5): Tres beau site, de vrais professionnels - Nous avons eu un problème pour notre réservation à priori le bungalow n'était pas disponible après avoir fait 8 km de piste nous n'étions pas ravi MAIS on nous carrément chouchouter, on nous a proposé un autre logement (appartement moins bien) mais déjà trouvé quelque chose, on nous a offert le restaurant avec le vin et la sortie quetzal Bref tout offert en partant on a même laissé un pourboire car une gentillesse exceptionnelle et une façon extraordinaire pour se faire pardonner Les hoteliers français devraient bien prendre modèle Donc nous recommandons cet endroit à 100% car en plus le site est génial
• Gerard (8/5): Perdu dans la montagne - Tres bon accueil, tres bel endroit. Mais attention à la piste très dangereuse et à éviter par temps de pluie. Ayeperdu z de bons freins et de la puissance pour remonter
• Ileana (10/5): Un sueño en el bosque - De mis lugares favoritos para desconectarme de todo. Su personal, la comida, el hotel son de lo mejor.
• Viviana (10/5): Encantador - Nos encantó. El lugar es sumamente pacífico. Apenas para descansar y disfrutar en pareja, a solas o en familia.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excelente lugar, pacífico y agradable. Muy buena opción para la familia
• Fred (10/5): Birdwatcher's Paradise - The hotel and restaurant both were excellent and the surroundings couldn't be more beautiful. He cabins didn't have heaters in them but they gladly provided them if you required them. I was there to find and study birds and happily found plenty of them.
• Fred (10/5): Nice hotel and perfect place for relax - Beautiful place in harmony with nature. Exceptional service and fine attention in the restaurant, food and delicious desserts at reasonable price. The trails are very nice and you can see many birds. The boat on the lake is great to enjoy with partner or friends. Recommended.
• Inna and James (10/5): - We stayed one night, very nice place, excellent food in a restaurant, reasonable prices and nice and friendly people. Room we stayed was big enough with two comfortable beds, had beautiful fireplace, just size of TV little small.
• Greg (8/5): Just cold and dark away from excellent - This place would be a 6 ! if it supplied better hot water and better lighting.The water had only a hint of warmth over the very cold water out of the faucet, and made for very uncomfortable showers. As well, the kitchen sink has only a cold faucet, so washing dishes is impossible. As well, the interior lighting is abysmal.
• Grace (10/5): Serene getaway with amazing food - We had a fantastic stay here and we were really impressed with the service and hospitality of the staff. The cabins offered a serene retreat in what I call the 'Shire' of Costa Rica. Also, the meals offered were affordable, fresh, filling, and scrumptious. We will definitely stay here again!
• Fiona (10/5): Quiet hotel surrounded by nature - Lovely cabins overlooking the pond. Rooms were spacious and clean. Very good prices at the restaurant. Close to the trail to the waterfall, and close to Savegre resort for happy hour.
• David (6/5): - Great little place with lots of trails to explore, some beautiful waterfalls and good food. The cabins themselves are a little basic without many amenities and a little stale.
• Kelly (8/5): Affordable lodgings and meals in Sevegre - On our previous list to San Gerardo de Dota we stayed at the bird watcher's mega, Sevegre Lodge. They were full the dates of our return so we booked into the much more modest Suenos del Bosques next door. The bungalow were well appointed and clean. The beds were comfortable. The location next to the river is every bit as nice as Sevegre Lodge. The room rates are about 1/3 less and the meals are about 1/2 as expensive. Food is straight forward but tasty and portions are more than adequate. And, there is a path trough the woods to Sevegre so we were able to take advantage of the many bird feeders maintained there. Overall, very satisfied.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Peaceful sojourn - Not fancy. Very comfortable. Great value, especially the meals.
• Jim (8/5): Great for birding - Spent 2 nights for 1 full day of birding and was happy overall. As others have said no one spoke English, but I speak enough Spanish that it was not a problem. Free breakfast was excellent, they don't serve lunch, and dinner, choice of trout or chicken including drink and dessert also excellent and half the price of the buffets at the Trogon or Savegre lodges.
• Steven (10/5): Lovely peaceful spot - Perfect getaway. Juan the owner was everywhere and helpful in everything! Food in restaurant excellent quality and extremely reasonable. Walk next door to Savegre Lodge for Happy Hour and you have the best of both worlds.
