Guest Reviews
- Pierluigi (9/5): Si on ne cherche pas le luxe mais le charme et la tranquillité à un prix raisonnable c'est parfait - Un joli petit endroit peu conventionnel au bord d'une petite rivière avec beaucoup de beaux arbres et beaucoup de plantes dans un jardin soigné. Les gentils propriétaires installés depuis 40 ans habitent dans la maison à côté, ou l'on prend le petit déjeuner. C'est à quelques km de l'embarcadère pour Drake bay et le Corcovado donc il vaut mieux avoir une voiture. Le bungalow en soi a beaucoup de charme, tout est en bois et a déjà un peu vécu, il est un peu surélevé sur des pieux, ambiance Louisiane où Mississippi. Il y a deux chambres et une véranda sur terrasse qui contient une cuisine et un petit salon, le tout avec des moustiquaires. La salle de bain est un peu rudimentaire mais fonctionnelle.
- Marion (10/5): - Flair und Ausstattung wie aus dem Bildband über Innenarchitektur.
Sehr freundliches Personal. Toller Garten mit vielen Aras und schönen Bäumen
Tolle Lage direkt am Fluss.
- Justine (10/5): Amazing stay by the river - We had a wonderful stay. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Lovely cabin with multiple fans. Delicious breakfast. There was an abundance of wildlife on the beautiful property - bats, lizards and many types of birds, including a tree filled with scarlet macaws that supposedly stop by every night.
Worth it to stay outside of the main part of town for tranquility, even without a car.
I wish we stayed longer! I think there was only cold water for the shower - not really an issue because it was so hot.
- Ann (10/5): My stay was a most relaxing and enjoyable experience and one that I hope to repeat in the future. - The location was lovely, full of trees, birds, flowers and fruit, and a nice view of the river. The property owners are charming and were always ready to provide interesting information on the history of the area and the local wildlife. I loved the breakfasts, which consisted of fruit, fruit juices made from fruits from trees on the property, a variety of bread and toast, cream cheese and a selection of jam., and (of course) coffee. I stayed for a week and I was sad to leave! I didn't dislike anything!
- Michelle (9/5): Viele Tiere im Garten, leckeres Frühstück und rustikaler Flair - Das Hotel hatte den Flair einer Expedition von den 1930er Jahren. Man fühlte sich in der Zeit zurück versetzt und als ob man in einem Basislager für Entdecker ist. Es war ein Ort, der die Neugier geweckt hat und Abenteuerlust vermittelte. Es war als würde man in den Geschichten dieser Zeit wandeln. Für jemanden der gerne Bücher aus dieser Zeit liest ist dies ein wundervolles Hotel, um in diese Welt vollkommen einzutauchen. Mir hat mein kompletter Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen

- Ivano (7/5): Génial, à refaire - Le calme dans la nature, prendre le temps de vivre, Lili la patronne mais aussi toute la famille, Lili toujours disponible a donnér conseils e des super repu le soir et de bons déjeuner. Un peu loin de Sierpe 4 km. Obligé de prendre un taxi. Idéal avoir une voiture pour découvrir les endroits
- beatrice (9/5): un accueil tres chaleureux de nos hotes qui nous ont ouvert les portes de leur maison - Le lieux est magnifique, tres belle propriété dans un grand jardin Il faisait chaud dans la chambre
- herbstaster (10/5): -
- patrick (9/5): Tof en origineel verblijf met een koloniale toets - Heel goed ontbijt, erg gevarieerd.
Mooie kamers in koloniale stijl ( in het bijzondere de badkamer )
Patio, tuin en terrassen aangenaam om uit te rusten. Niets
- Amy (9/5): Pleasant and relaxing experience in Sierpe - The family is very friendly, we had a delicious breakfast, and the house is just gorgeous. Such a unique place to stay. We visited on a very warm day and the fan did not do much to cool down the room, very hot to sleep.
- Jens (8/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): Amazing quiet place! - Amazing location and the garden. Nice and attentive host with eye for details. Awesome breakfast! You can just enjoy the birds and quietness of the place. The facilities are simple but well done with nice deco, wooden floors in very traditional style. You can see more guacamayos here than in Corcovado 😁 Na
- Enzo (10/5): - L'ospitalità, la cortesia, l'accoglienza di Ileana (Lilli) e Benedetto. La natura circostante: abbiamo visto scimmie, un tucano una moltitudine di uccelli di varie specie, pappagalli Ara che venivano a dormire su un albero della proprietà, un procione, ho anche avuto la fortuna di vedere un coccodrillo che si fceva trasportre dalla corrente. Nulla
- Marta (10/5): Sitio y atención increíbles - El lugar es una pasada, la casa es muy bonita, el jardín y la zona son espectaculares. Tienen un embarcadero que da al río y en el porche desayunas con unas vistas espectaculares y muy agradables al jardín. El desayuno completo y muy rico. Y lo mejor que la dueña es muy maja y atenta.
Aunque no está en el propio pueblo, está muy cerquita y se llega fácil cruzando el puente, merece la pena la ubicación. Hay que pagar en efectivo, es lo único.
- Kummel (10/5): Excellent stay. I wish I booked for one or two more days. - I loved the location and the birding in the morning. The breakfast was excellent. The owner was very friendly. The cabin was very clean. it was tiny bit more rustic than what I expected, but that said the cabin was very comfortable, clean, and tastefully decorated.
- Manuela (10/5): - Der unfassbar schöne Garten mit alten Bäumen und vielen Aras . Wir wurden warm empfangen und mit einem liebevollen Frühstück verwöhnt. Es war eine Reise in eine andere Zeit! Unbedingt empfehlenswert!
- Josiane (9/5): - L’environnement exceptionnel au bord de la rivière dans un jardin entouré d’oiseaux et la qualité du petit déjeuner
Il faut accepter de se réveiller tôt avec le chant des oiseaux mais c’est l’intérêt de cet endroit
- Wendy Sharon (10/5): My favourite place in Costa Rica! - I loved this place so much. The oldy worldly atmosphere and characterful house. The grounds are amazing. More birds here than Corcovado! Macaws by the dozen! If you love birds and nature this is the place for you! Nothing really though you do need a car. Only breakfast provided though the paradise restaurant down the road is very good
- Tanja (8/5): - Un lieu d'un autre temps, où l'on a l'impression de revenir dans le passé et qui est juste splendide. Tout y est très propre et l'accueil chaleureux.
- Karel (9/5): - Wat een prachtige huis op een prachtige plek! En wat een lieve beheerster. Het is een huis volledig in oude victoriaanse stijl, bijna een museum, midden in een prachtige tuin met papagaaien en toekans. Het huis vol prachtige details wordt duidelijk met liefde onderhouden.De beheerster is zorgzaam en communicatief, spreekt engels Sierpe is een warme plek en in het huis is geen airconditioning, wel ventilatoren, in de slaapkamer kan het in het begin van de nacht dus nog flink warm zijn. Maar de super mooie plek maakt veel goed!
- Gabrielle (9/5): Dépaysement total - Chambre chez l'habitant, un endroit atypique où le temps s'est arrêté.
Dépaysement total, endroit magnifique et mémorable.
L'accueil y est très chaleureux et le petit déjeuner excellent.
- Marc (9/5): Très joli endroit au calme - L'endroit est très joli, magnifique jardin au bord de la rivière, le seul endroit où l'on a vu des toucans
L'accueil de notre hôte était parfait, les petits déjeuners excellents ( les meilleurs de tous les hôtels que nous avons fait)
Le réveil du matin par les oiseaux ( très tôt mais agréable :) )
Emplacement à 5 minutes en voiture de la mangrove et des bateaux . Rien tout était très bien
- Gunter (10/5): -
- Imanol (9/5): - La dueña fue muy amable y nos trató genial. Es un lugar encantador, dentro de la naturaleza y con muchos animales alrededor. Se puede acceder por el río a sierpe. La casa es muy bonita.
- Sabrina (4/5): - J'ai pu modifier ma réservation facilement
C'est sympa de voir les oiseaux et autres le matin en se réveillant Le logement est très rudimentaire et pas bien équipé (on ne peut pas cuisiner par exemple)
Les.matelas sont très vieux et pas du tout agréables
La propriété semble laissé à l'abandon
J'ai trouvé ca très cher pour une cabane. Nous avons fait plusieurs autres hébergements beaucoup mieux pour moins cher.
- Jens (10/5): - Wenn man die personifizierte Gastfreundlichkeit erleben möchte, ist man hier genau richtig. Wer eine Hotelkette sucht, ist hier falsch.
- Jakob (8/5): Great option to stay in Sierpe - The accommodation is designed like a traditional banana plantation house, and provided us with a good option to stay close to the boats leaving from Sierpe. Iliana is a welcoming host who prepared a delicious breakfast for us on the veranda. We stayed in a room of the main house, which made us feel part of the family. The Scarlet Macaws nesting in a nearby tree provided for a great spectacle.
- Felix (9/5): Superb -
- Laurent (4/5): Disappointing -
- Carolina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leslie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Taylor (10/5): Exceptional - BEAUTIFUL home, amazing design of the house. Super friendly host that organized a taxi for us and was very accommodating. Great breakfast (and a lot of food!). Macaws in the backyard. Is a bit out of town, but appreciated the scenery and quiet.
- Jo (7/5): Lovely hostess, nice setting but needs some investment and a bit out of town. - It was very special watching toucans outside the bedroom in the morning. The facilities (bed, fan) are dated.
Veragua is located a little outside of Sierpe, it works better if you have a car.
- Felicia (10/5): Charming river house. We felt like we were staying with a family. Very safe, quiet and just perfect. - The house has character and location on the river is gorgeous. The owners are very kind and the food was wonderful. Great wildlife in the yard. I felt like we were going back in time! Nothing.
- Michael (9/5): Magical - Love this place. Laid back, lush, magical setting and a rustic, simple elegance along the river that was like being in a Latin American novel. Parrots and other birds and a crocodile floating past. Sitting out on simple chairs at sunset was beautiful. Hosts were muy amable and breakfast was excellent. May have eaten the best over easy egg ever made. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but really liked the town and restaurant in Sierpe, too. Feel like many will pass thru quickly to get to Corcovado, but it's a shame we didn't have more than two nights. Don't want to complain at all! But if I am pushed to make a suggestion? Keeping in mind I loved this stay and it was fine, but the mattress could be upgraded a bit.
- Joris (9/5): Superb - A very pleasent lady welcomed us + The breakfeast was very good
- Simon (9/5): Great night in sierpe - River view
Really nice host
Great breakfast
Big bathroom
Parking and well located Na
- Thomas (9/5): Superb - A beautiful home and grounds, full of character and charm. Delicious breakfast and lovely owners. We absolutely loved it. Pillows might have seen better days!
- Wafa (9/5): Superb -
- Nicolas (10/5): Lovely house, location and owners - Very lovely old traditional house. The owner was super friendly. The property really lovely and location super convenient. We stayed in the separate cabin - it's modest, but very cozy and we loved having the screened-in porch to relax at night. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
- Birte (10/5): Exceptional - We felt so very welcomed by the super friendly owner Eliana and her house is cozy, beautiful and unique. Situated at the River Sierpe and in a lush garden we were surrounded by the stunning nature.
We went on an early morning boat trip for three hours organized by Eliana and saw lots of different birds, some crocodiles, some caymans and two species of monkeys (capuchin and squirrel monkeys).
After the boat trip Eliana indulged us with a delicious breakfast. We would have loved to stay longer...
Thank you so much! ♡
- Consuelo (8/5): Super beautiful spot and a very nice host. - A beautiful property and an amazing host! A very cool rustic cabin that had two rooms a bathroom and a screened in porch. So many beautiful birds in the area. The breakfast was amazing! It was extremely hot when we were there and while we had big fans in our bedrooms, it was tough to sleep.
- Fanni (10/5): Nice authentic experience. - The beautiful property is situated next to the river with an abundance of plants and animals. We have seen plenty of birds and a crocodile from the dock. An authentic experience!
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderful spot right on the river surrounded by nature and hosted by a friendly couple. Don't think it has changed much in the past couple of decades, which just adds to the charm. Great place to relax and watch the birds and the river float by.
- Sandy (10/5): A small, rustic hotel with wonderful charm and hospitality. - The hosts were very nice and welcoming. It felt like staying at someone’s private home. Delicious home cooked meals, everything fresh and delicious, but not fancy and pretentious. Freshly made tropical juices like guanabana and carambola. Lili went out of her way to help us. When we arrived late and hungry from a long night excursion, she had dinner on the table waiting for us. We were so grateful! It was a little far from town. But Lili was so kind and rowed us across the River so we didn’t have to call a taxi.
- Laura (8/5): Very good -
- Doud (8/5): Very good - Good shower, Good Breakfast, Wonderful botanic garden.
- Nancy (10/5): Arrived in dark of night, so when the chorus of birds ushered in the new day, we were thrilled -
