Guest Reviews

• Tanja (10/5): - Attenzione ai dettagli, staff super gentile, ci hanno coccolato e dato un sacco di informazioni utili, oltre ad averci accompagnato a scovare un sacco di rane stupende nel loro giardino :) Colazione super super!
• Jodie (9/5): Charming stay with friendly host and staff - We only stayed one night at Kakao as a rest stop over a long drive to La Fortuna. The owner is very friendly and helpful with information pf what is happening in the local area, restaurants etc. It is walking distance to many restaurants and shops and is situated amongst beautiful gardens with tropical flowers. The breakfast area is charming and I'm sure you would see lots of wildlife in drier weather (unfortunately we had relentless rain during our stay). The breakfast was fantastic! Good value to have all of this included!! The pancakes were delicious!! The rooms are very clean and well appointed. There is a seating area outside each room to enjoy the sounds of the forest. We found the road to be quite noisy in the mornings. Our room was right next to the road - it would probably be significantly better at the other end of the property
• Francisco (9/5): Auténtico - El personal muy auténtico y el lugar igual. Te sientes como en casa y puedes ver ranas, pájaros etc desde el mismo establecimiento
• robert (9/5): -
• Stéfano (10/5): - Habitación muy amplia con aire acondicionado, ventilador, camas muy cómodas, decoración bonita con estilo colonial, baños modernos y amplios, bonito jardín buen desayuno y propietaria y personal muy amable
• Carina (10/5): Es war perfekt! - Eine wirklich tolle Unterkunft! Laura (und ihre Familie) ist wirklich sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Sie hat mir geholfen, Aktivitäten zu buchen und mir einige Dinge empfohlen. Das Zimmer ist sehr schön eingerichtet und sauber. Ganz besonders war der Garten. Ich habe einige Vögel gesehen und konnte viele bunte Frösche entdecken. Und das Frühstück ist großartig! Ein toller Start in den Tag. Ich würde diese Unterkunft definitiv wieder buchen, wenn ich noch einmal nach Bijagua komme. Sehr empfehlenswert! -
• Aitana (9/5): -
• Vincent (9/5): - Pas d’eau chaude
• Garrison (10/5): - The staff was amazing and incredibly friendly. Breakfast was delicious. As a solo traveler, this was the perfect place to stay. The stay exceeds the costs.
• jocelyne (9/5): - Le cadre, le personnel, la décoration, le jardin. Chambre très agréable. Parfait.
• ruben (10/5): - Alojamiento cuidado con un montón de detalles. Camas súper cómodas y almohadas Desayuno casero Acceso propio al río Parking Camino de ranas Amenities naturales Zona de juegos de mesa
• Rodrigo (9/5): Achei ótimo, muito confortável, limpo e acolhedor - Muito bom, muito bem feito Eles ainda estavam construindo um acesso ao rio, assim que ficar pronto será maravilhoso
• Lukas (9/5): Toller Zwischenstop - Grosses und vielfälltiges Zmorgen. Super nettes Personal! Zimmer eher klein für 4 Personen.
• Martina Engesser (9/5): - Das Hotel hat einen kleinen Garten in dem wir verschiedene Frösche und Schildkröten gesichtet haben. Die Hotelführerin hat uns im Garten herumgeführt und mit viel Engagement Pflanzen und Tiere gezeigt. Auch gibt es einen kleinen Fluss mit Zugang, indem wir baden konnten. Es war sehr hübsch und ein kleines Paradies.
• Ulrike (8/5): -
• Martin (8/5): - Velice příjemná majitelka a personál. Vynikající snídaně a ochota pomoci a poradit. Trochu vlhčí pokoj takže klimatizace musela stále běžet.
• Rosalie (9/5): Prachtig verblijf met super vriendelijk personeel - De eigenaar en het personeel waren heel vriendelijk. Ze maakten elke dag een heerlijk ontbijt voor ons klaar. De tuin was prachtig, we hebben veel mooie vogels gespot. Echt een aanrader!
• ALAIN (7/5): - Un peu de bruits mobylette,notre chambre un peu sombre
• Mario Alberto (9/5): De paseo en Bijagua - Volcán Tenorio - La ubicación y relación con la naturaleza que tiene el lugar. El sonido del televisor del cuarto suena un poco reventado. Es un detalle menor, todo lo demás está super bien!
• CONTRONI (10/5): - Le cadre naturel du site et la gentillesse de Giovanni et Vanessa.
• Krauer (10/5): Nettes familiäres Hotel mit eigenem Charme. - Sehr nette Besitzer, uns wurden Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben und haben für uns auch gebucht. Wir fühlten uns sehr willkommen und hatten am Abend noch sehr gute Gespräche. Alles war Beanstandungslos.
• Barbora (8/5): -
• Christina (9/5): Lovely one night stay in a pleasant hotel with beautiful gardens. - The proprietor has to be the best part of this sweet little hotel! She gave us good pointers and great advice, and helped us purchase our tickets for the national park. Every part of this hotel is well appointed and great attention is paid to every detail. Stay here on your way to hike the beautiful Rio Celeste. Love the little lounge area where we spent the evening playing cards, flashlights are available for guests to walk down to the river after dark to spy on the frogs, and breakfast was fantastic. Thank you so much. We were staying in the last room by the road, and there was quite a bit of traffic throughout the night.
• Sarah (9/5): Super süßes Hotel - Super cooler Ort (wirkt authentisch und einheimisch). Leckeres Frühstück und liebevoll eingerichtetes Hotel! Zimmer war groß und sauber und man dachte, dass man mitten im Dschungel wäre! Viele Restaurants fußläufig erreichbar
• Ulrike (9/5): Kleine Oase mit verzauberten Garten - Die Einrichtung mit den koloniale Möbeln versetzen einen in eine andere Zeit und das Frühstücken im verwunschenen Garten ist einfach traumhaft. Vielen Dank für die tollen Gespräche mit euch!
• Andreas Cornelis (7/5): - Goede warme douce Eenvoudig maar goed ontbijt Eenvoudige kamer. Smalle 2 persoonsbed
• Daniel (8/5): - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist super. Sie verfügt über sehr große Zimmer und ein schönes Außengelände, insbesondere wenn man sich auf Tiersuche begeben möchte. Das Frühstück ist lecker und mehr als genug. Das Highlight waren aber definitiv Laura und ihr Team! Jederzeit hilfsbereit, z.B. bei der Reservierung für den Tenorio Nationalpark oder bei Empfehlungen fürs Abendessen, aber insbesondere bei der engagierten Suche nach Fröschen, Kröten etc. am eigenen Teich. Leider war das Badezimmer ziemlich muffig, worüber auch die gut riechende Seife nicht hinwegtäuschen konnte. Für unseren Geschmack waren die Betten auch nicht die stabilsten und bequemsten. Insgesamt dennoch ein toller Aufenthalt!
• Corbett (9/5): -
• Merle (6/5): -
• Wendy (8/5): -
• Peggy (9/5): - gutes Frühstück in einem sehr schönen Garten
• Macy (9/5): -
• Denise (6/5): War okay, Kakao habe ich nicht gesehen - Die Lage war sehr gut. Der Frühstücksbereich im Garten war sehr schön. Durch eine Futterstelle wurden viele verschiedene Vögel angelockt. Das Zimmer sehr geräumig. Es gab eine Kaffeemaschine und Kaffee umsonst. Die Vermieterin sprechen nur spanisch. Das Frühstück war nicht sehr abwechslungsreich. Es gab Gallo Pinto, Pancakes und Obst, Es wurde einfach auf den Tisch gestellt. Geschmack war gut und es wurde direkt frisch zubereitet Das schmutzige Geschirr wurde dann direkt in einer großen Blechschüssel abgewaschen. Fand ich nicht so hygienisch. Das Waschbecken im Bad hatte nur einen Kaltwasseranschluss.

• Marie Lise (10/5): Tres agreable. - Cadre magnifique . Accueil chaleureux Petit déjeuner excellent preparé par une dame adorable ; Et cela au milieu des oiseaux
• Christophe (10/5): Super adresse - Très belle déco Chambre tes confortable Très bon petit dejeuner Rien
• Lena (9/5): Kleine grüne Oase - Wunderbarer Garten mit unzähligen Blumen und Futterstelle für Vögel, kann man beim Frühstück beobachten. Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr freundlich. Schöne Zimmer. Leckeres Restaurant ca 150m entfernt (Yeyes Restaurante), sehr zu empfehlen! Man kann die Straße etwas hören, das liegt ja vor allem an den oft lauten Motorrädern… würde trotzdem wiederkommen :)
• Jérôme (8/5): Un lodge confortable et un personnel agréable. Le prix est néanmoins trop élevé - La can bore est spacieuse et bien équipée. Le petit déjeuner est limité. Pas de choix.
• Martin (3/5): - Good location, clean, breakfast included in the package Not working electricity and mold in the room.
• Yannick (8/5): Agréable endroit - Endroit très sympathique au contact de la nature pour observer des grenouilles la nuit et des oiseaux le matin. Très bien localiser pour aller au parc Tenorio, et aller se restaurer le soir. Petit déjeuner parfait Situé en bordure de route, on entend le bruit des motos le soir. Lorsque les personnes de la chambre à côté prennent leur douche en même temps, il y a une très forte réduction de l'eau
• Ivonne (10/5): Estancia maravillosa - Nos hospedamos en el mes de febrero en este hermoso lodge. Tanto el lugar como el equipo que lo atiende, es encantador. Siempre atentos a nuestras necesidades y nos dieron muchas recomendaciones de actividades para hacer. El desayuno, fue inmejorable y delicioso.Angello, Doris, Yarelis y Lorena, estamos muy agradecidas por el trato recibido! Un abrazo grande! Nada, todo fue perfecto.
• Ramin (8/5): - Das Zimmer war groß und sauber und man konnte vor der Tür auf dem Gang sitzen und in die Natur schauen. Das Frühstück wurde von 2 netten Damen serviert und war sehr gut und ausreichend. Von der Stadt hatten wir uns mehr versprochen, aber dafür kann die Lodge ja nichts. Fußläufig war ein Soda zu erreichen, wo man abends noch unkompliziert und gut essen konnte. Wir waren eine Nacht auf der Durchreise hier und dafür war es völlig in Ordnung. Man konnte das Zimmer nicht richtig verdunkeln und die Gardinenstangen fielen ständig runter beim Zuziehen der Vorhänge. Das es morgens durch den Straßenlärm sehr laut werden kann, daran gewöhnt man sich in Costa Rica. Allerdings bellte auch der Nachbarshund die halbe Nacht. Morgens wurden wir dann auch noch von Brüllaffen geweckt - das werte ich aber als Pluspunkt, da es ein einmaliges Erlebnis in Costa Rica für uns war.
• Anne (8/5): - Le jardin pour prendre le petit déjeuner.
• Laurent (9/5): SUPER ! - La gentillesse du personnel L’endroit en lui même avec la terasse du petit déjeuné Chambre très confortable Petit déjeuner super Cela peut être un peu bruyant avec les véhicules. Mais avec des bouchons d’oreilles c’est ok Un jus de fruit aurais été apprécié au petit déjeuné
• Izabela (10/5): Lovely place with lovely people! - Kakao lodge is located close to stores and restaurants. It was super convenient to get to the Tenorio NP. The staff were lovely and helpful. The building is surrounded by nature - there’s frogs and beautiful birds everywhere! Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was also exceptional and served in a cute garden. 10/10 Internet was a bit slow but it didn’t matter!
• Bret (9/5): we would definitely stay there again - Beautiful birds in the trees next to the breakfast restaurant. 10 dollars US for breakfast was a great addition. Walking distance to a local restaurant for dinner, grocery is also walking distance a couple blocks away. Our foreign language knowledge is duo lingo basics so communication with staff was a bit challenging.
• Martin (10/5): Parfait et perfection - Personnel accueillant et drôle, aimable. Chambre spacieuse, propre et rien de négatif Rien
• Andres (10/5): Muy buen lugar para escaparse de la ciudad - La atención del personal fue muy atenta y cordial. El lugar es precioso. Definitivamente planeamos volver nada
• Stavroula (9/5): -
• Christian (8/5): sehr freundlich, gutes Frühstück! - Im offenen, überdachten Frühstücksbereich tummelten sich viele Tiere, das Frühstück war sehr gut, die Managerin war sehr freundlich, konnte perfekt Englisch und hat den Gästen Frösche, Vögel und Affen im Garten gezeigt. In manchen Zimmern gab es einen Kühlschrank. Saubere Zimmer. Gute Lage. Tipp: außergewöhnlich gutes und günstiges Abendessen gibt's in einem nahegelegenen (120m) Restaurant. Unser Zimmer (Erdgeschoss) war etwas dunkel und leicht muffig aufgrund der immer feuchten Witterung (hatten wir in Costa Rica häufiger). Die Zimmer im Obergeschoss dürften etwas besser durchlüftet sein?
• MARIKO (10/5): 心地よい滞在 - ２泊。部屋が広くて快適でした。環境が良く、庭でカエル、野鳥などが観察できる。 ケトルと紅茶、コーヒーのアメニティがある。 朝食は焼きたてのホットケーキやお米、卵など。美味しかった。 宿の予約後、Lauraさんに滞在中のツアーや空港からの運転手配などコーディネートしてもらえて助かりました。紹介されたドライバー兼ガイドのJohnnyは英語堪能で、とても良いガイドでした 部屋のカーテンが閉まり切らず、少し外の廊下から部屋の中が見える（そんなに人が通るわけではないが気になる） シャワーのお湯がぬるく、少し体が冷えた。 隣の部屋の音はかなり聞こえます。
• Marcus Roesler (10/5): Peaceful getaway spot - This place was peaceful and the staff were great! The breakfast is hearty and you can see lots of birds and monkeys while you eat!! It's right around the corner from YeYe's which is a delicious and affordable restaurant. Would stay again! The cleaning supplies they use every day are very strong smelling and bothered our group.
• Cynthia (7/5): - Le climatiseur non fonctionnel ce qui fut un point négatif ayant un impact sur la qualité du sommeil malgré le ventilateur ajouté.
• Johanne (9/5): Alt i alt et skønt og dejligt sted med gode og rene værelser, dejlig mad, hyggelig have og rart personale. - Det var roligt og der var super hyggeligt til den skønne morgenmad i haven med fugle og dyr som spiste på og omkring foderbrættet. Personalet var venlige og skabte en god stemning. Jeg har ikke andet negativt at sige end at det ville være rart med mere end én medarbejder som kunne engelsk. Godt min søn kan klare sig på spansk.
• Schuster (9/5): - Super sauber Vorzügliches Frühstück . Nettes und freundliches Personal. Grosser Parkplatz
• anh-quan (9/5): - Le petit déjeuner preparé sur place par un personnel très gentil. Le Lodge est dans la nature, nous prenons le petit déjeuner tout en observant les beaux oiseaux.
• Christine.20 (8/5): - La chambre décorée avec goût lit très confortable Penderie ventilateur clim Bouilloire et frigo Un petit déjeuner copieux
• Sharna (8/5): Pleasant stay, great views across to mountains and the garden was a bird paradise - The location and garden of this property were excellent. Lots of birds visiting and even saw a sloth way up a tree. People were kind even though I don’t speak Spanish and they didn’t speak English. Angelo, young man who is son of caretaker speaks English and if he is there will be very eager to chat about birds - he is a font of all knowledge. Restaurant across the street is excellent I stayed three days and my room was not serviced at all - even the toilet paper bin in that time.
• emma (9/5): - Very comfy room with tea and coffee and excellent freshly cooked breakfast and tucans a few feet away
• Marion (9/5): lovely stay, nice people and amazing garden for animals - we loved the garden, we spent a lot of time in it. the room was spacious and comfortable. very well located and the staff and owner were really lovely and shared with us their love for the animals. we see they like to take care of the place, and out of lot of effort in it. noise at 5 am as staff was cleaning and on a night going to our room, a huge knife has been left on the floor before arriving to our room, I felt on it, fortunately I was lucky enough to fall in the right was I didn’t get hurt, but it could have been terrible.
• Sofia (9/5): Tranquila - .. ..
• Juan jose (10/5): Hotel con mucho encanto y ranitas - Ideal, muy cómodo, limpio. El personal es super amable, tienen un sendero pequeñito con ranas y vimos muchísimas, nos encantó. Nos recomendaron el restaurante yeyes y fue un 10/10. De los mejores sitios en los que hemos comido en Costa Rica ( llevamos 2 semanas aquí). El desayuno es muy encantador, te dan a probar granos de cacao y cacao molido. Nada, me encanto todo
• Vinicius (10/5): Muito bom, perto do parque Volcan Tenorio - Ótimo hotel, confortável e ótimo custo benefício. Bem bom para ir ao parque Volcan Tenorio, 15 min de carro.
• Kenza (9/5): - Super helpful owner that helps organizing activities. Great immersion in nature (lot of birds) especially in the morning. Fantastic breakfast
• Kenza (9/5): -
• Alexandre (10/5): - Très bel établissement, chambre spacieuse et confortable. Nous recommandons.
• Deborah (9/5): Nice hotel to stay in Bijagua - Very nice hotel in Bijagua. It’s well located being 4 minutes walking from the main road and 2 minutes walking from the best restaurant in town: Yeye. The personal is very nice and willing to give advices regarding the activities to do. I would strongly recommend doing the night tour to observe animals as the guide was very nice and we saw plenty!
• Miloš (10/5): - Naprosto perfektní ubytování. Málokdy dávám v hodnocení 10, ale tady si to opravdu zaslouží. Není to žádný luxusní přepychový hotel, ale vlastně to vůbec nevadí. Personál, čistota, místo, vše naprosto dokonalé. Z hotelu mám pocit jako kdybych byl doma, cítili jsme se tam opravdu moc příjemně. Všichni usměvaví, milí, ochotní. Snídaně jsou jednoduché, ale vůbec to nevadí (právě naopak), protože je připravují každému hostu zvlášť a to typickou kostarickou snídani. Navíc snídáte v malé zahrádce, kde kolem Vás poletují pestrobarevní ptáčci. Prostě pecka.
• Mirthe (10/5): Mooi huis, aardige mensen - Heel aardige mensen, goed ontbijt en mooi gebouw.
• Yemi (8/5): -
• Heiko (9/5): - Schönes Frühstück in offener Küche im Garten
• Marie-Laure (7/5): -
• Claire (8/5): - Lovely breakfast and sloth in the garden!
• Stefano (10/5): Ottimo - Struttura immersa nel verde con un bellissimo giardino, personale molto gentile e disponibile, lavanderia riconsegnata pulita e profumata dopo poche ore
• Andrea (9/5): Eine tolle Unterkunft mit Blick in die wunderschöne Natur - Unser Zimmer war sauber und hatte alles zu bieten, was man braucht (Wasserkocher, Kaffeemaschine, Tee, Kaffee, Kühlschrank). Die Dame am Empfang war sehr freundlich und empfahl uns zum Abendbrot ein kleines Restaurant (Yeye) gegenüber der Unterkunft. Es war dort sehr lecker und der Besitzer unglaublich freundlich. Das Frühstück war lecker und reichhaltig. Ich würde diese Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen.
• Magdiel (10/5): -
• Paula (8/5): - De noche muy oscuro poca iluminación
• BORIS (10/5): Excelente experiencia. - Buena ubicación, atención muy personalizada, desayuno variado y delicioso, amabilidad y servicio muy bueno.
• FIONA (9/5): If you want to enjoy the wildlife CR has to offer, Kakao Lodge can give you that. We enjoyed watching hummingbirds, vult - Loved that we felt surrounded by nature & authenticity of traditional Costa Rica, with its ‘open to the outdoors’ trad breakfast area and warm hospitality. Huge bedroom. Very comfortable and bed too. Loved sitting outside our room on first floor veranda area amongst the trees and wildlife. We also were taken on a little tour in the garden when we arrived in the evening and saw a red eyed leaf frog. Just road traffic/mopeds late at night. For a remote area, on side road away from main through road, it must be one used by locals. It wasn’t all night though and nothing earplugs couldn’t sort out.
• Melissa (10/5): -
• Tim (9/5): Friendly accommodation with an amazing garden full of ani - Laura is very welcoming and gave us many tips for activities around the accommodation. For example, we visited a cacao farm and the national park Volcán Tenorio. Our room was pretty large, and well furnished. The clear highlight of our stay was the amazing garden, where we could find many of our favorite animals such as a sloth and several frogs! The breakfast was also very good. We can only recommend you to stay here! All was good!
• María (9/5): -
• Marjorie (8/5): Un très agréable moment - L’endroit avec beaucoup de caractère dans les parties communes et la gérante très accueillante . Le meilleur petit déjeuner de notre séjour La visite le soir pour voir les grenouille Notre chambre en bord de route bruyante
• Oliver (10/5): Wunderbar - Super freundliches Personal. Leckeres Frühstück. Großes, gut ausgestattetes Zimmer mit Kaffe und Weingläsern, Klimaanlage, Duschgel. Wir hatten einen gratis Upgrade zu einem 4-Bett-Zimmer. Schöner Garten wo sogar ein Faultier im Baum hing! Nichts
• Eimy Jimenez (9/5): -
• Mayobanex (10/5): Atención y buena estancia garantizadas. - Habitación muy bien cuidada sin temas de humedad o elementos en mal estado. 2 camas individuales para la los niños. Flexibles a solicitudes adicionales. Zonas verdes ofrecen experiencia de observación de ranas y aves. Buen desayuno.
• Martin (8/5): Very good - Extremely friendly owners son met us at our car with a umbrella. When we asked him about laundry, his Mom offered to wash our clothing for 10. and we got them back washed and dried the next morning. We enjoyed our breakfast in the outdoor dining space. Cooked just for us I booked it as free breakfast which didn't exist. Breakfast was 10. Per person
• Mary (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful setting and facility. Lovely family.
• Gemma (10/5): 10/10 would stay again. - The staff were really accommodating and friendly, the breakfasts were huge and delicious. Gorgeous rooms and had the most amazing toucan experience just sat out on the terrace.
• Ricky (10/5): A great place to stay.. - Very nice place to stay. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast included fresh fruit and pancakes.
• Roman (10/5): A Cozy Retreat with Exceptional Service in Nature’s Embrace - Truly a gem. Beautifully situated off the main road so it is quiet but close enough to walk to the supermarket and the center of town. You really feel close to nature, without being in the jungle. The hotel itself is really well maintained and has a cozy atmosphere. The rooms are clean, well equipped, nice comfy beds and pillows, we really slept well. The breakfast is absolutely delicious and plentiful. There is a little short "frog walk" right next to the parking lot, that is part of the hotel, where you can see frogs. The staff is really great as well. Laura speaks English fluently and is always eager to help, without actually selling you anything like some other hotels. She helped arrange a pretty last minute night walk tour, called and made reservations for us for the Chocolate Tour, recommended an awesome and inexpensive local restaurant, and in general provided a ton of helpful information about the area. That is besides the fact that she is just an awesome person to talk to. I would highly recommend staying here and enjoying the less touristy Rio Celeste. Nothing. Everything was great.
• Guido (8/5): Relaxing simple structure, nearby nice attractions - The calm area in town, the proximity to a new small family-run restaurant, the spacious rooms. The breakfast area is also welcomingly shabby-chic looking and the fruit portions generous. Great value for money. Charming, smiling and welcoming hosts. Is a simple structure without real facilities but really not expensive.
