Guest Reviews
- Anna Paula (10/5): Peaceful refuge - Amazing quiet luxury, the hostes was incredible, super gentle, take food delivery for us of the restaurant, we didn’t get worried about nothing! To arrive there you should take care about the road and car conditions, better go with the sun light.
- Colin (10/5): Fantastic site, great wildlife, very helpful and friendly owners. - Fantastic site for the hotel, surrounded by jungle. A troop of spider monkeys travelled through the hotel every evening and were lovely to watch in the tree just outside our villa.
The owners were very helpful, especially after our car got stuck in mud - I'd missed the sign for the hotel. Alex was able to use the winch on his car to help me get free - and then jet washed the car afterwards to remove the mud! Its about a 25 minute drive along poor roads to reach the hotel, so a 4 wheel drive car is a must.
- Rainer (9/5): tolle Location abseits des (Massen-)Tourismus - wunderbare Unterkunft, freundliche u. hilfsbereite Gastgeber Ausstattung der Küche
- Ricarda (10/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): Mitten im Wildlife - Kleines Dschungelparadies - Mitten im Dschungel gelegenes kleines Paradies. Nur wenige Bungalow, die großzügig verteilt sind. Neuer schöner Pool.
Wir hatten sie Family Deluxe Villa mit riesiger Terrasse, von der wir die Vögel und Affenbande beobachten konnten.
Frida ist äußerst hilfsbereit, wenn es um die Organisation von Touren geht. So hatten wir das Glück, noch kurzfristig am 2. Morgen eine Wildlife Wanderung mit Guide umnehmen zu können, bei der wir zahlreiche Tiere sehen konnten. Und anschließend ging es noch zu einem Wasserfall zu erfrischenden Bad.
Man muss sich komplett selbst versorgen, aufgrund des langen und holprigen Weges unbedingt ausreichend in Puerto Jiménez am besten beim BM Supermarkt einkaufen. Die Zufahrt ist nur mit einem 4x4 zu empfehlen. Der Grill könnte mal erneuert werden.
- Jean Louis (10/5): Excellent - Le lieu est exceptionnel totalement connecté à la nature environnante. Il faut y rester plusieurs jours pour en profiter pleinement. Rien. Peut-être si le petit déjeuner était proposé cela serait un plus
- Annina (10/5): -
- Jiri (10/5): - Unser Aufenthalt in der Maze Lodge bei Puerto Jiménez war einfach unbeschreiblich – und für mich persönlich etwas ganz Besonderes: Ich durfte hier meinen 50. Geburtstag feiern, und es war ohne Zweifel der schönste Geburtstag meines Lebens.
Alexander und Frida haben wirklich alles möglich gemacht, damit dieser Aufenthalt so einzigartig wurde. Mit so viel Herzlichkeit, Aufmerksamkeit und echter Gastfreundschaft haben sie jeden Moment besonders gemacht. Man spürt sofort, wie viel Leidenschaft und Liebe in diesem Ort steckt.
Die Lodge selbst ist ein absoluter Traum mitten im Dschungel. Jeden Tag konnten wir wilde Tiere beobachten – ein Erlebnis, das man kaum in Worte fassen kann. Natur pur, Ruhe, Magie und Abenteuer zugleich.
Auch das gesamte Team verdient ein großes Lob: Alle Mitarbeiter sind unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und sorgen dafür, dass man sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und zuhause fühlt.
Besonders schön ist zu sehen, dass dieses kleine Stück Paradies bewusst erhalten und geschützt wird. Nachhaltigkeit wird hier nicht nur versprochen, sondern wirklich gelebt – und genau das macht den Aufenthalt noch wertvoller.
Wir sind unglaublich dankbar für diese Erfahrung und hoffen sehr, wiederzukommen. Absolute Herzensempfehlung!
- David (10/5): - So clean and wonderfully kept. We loved swimming in the pool whilst toucans flew ahead and monkeys were in the trees. Very attentive staff- Zayro was always on hand if we needed anything. Would highly recommend.
- Brianna (10/5): This place is the best get away to enjoy wildlife that I have ever visited. - This place is amazing, right on the edge of the national park. There are monkeys and birds you can watch right from your balcony or the observation deck.
- Robert (9/5): Memorable experience - Friendly staff in what felt like a nature preserve. Exciting road from town putting to use our 4 wheel drive jeep. Beautifully done observation deck and a nice trail leading to a river.
- Amy (9/5): Peaceful and relaxing - Zayro was incredibly friendly and helpful! Truly wanted to make our stay the best it could have been and it didn’t disappoint!
It’s a beautiful location, with an amazing view over the Golfito bay. It was incredible to be able to sit and listen to the howler monkeys and watch birds, sloths & other monkeys from our deck and the communal spaces.
The pool area is gorgeous, with comfortable sun loungers and with toilets & showers there.
We were lucky with the weather and it meant we could use the grill every night and the cooking facilities had everything we needed.
Helpful handbook in the room that included restaurants that do delivery which was great for our first night.
We also did the Corcovado tour through the hotel which was really special.
It felt very secluded and peaceful.
We made use of the communal terrace and hot drink station as well as the gym and really enjoyed switching off and being away. The WiFi however is excellent so you can still be in touch with people if you want to be. So these aren’t things we didn’t like, just things to keep in mind - they aren’t negatives and we still would have chosen to stay at Maze Lodge but it would have made our stay better had we done it differently.
If you aren’t coming by car, it is about 20 mins (over half of which is on gravel road) in a taxi and we were charged $35-40 each way by a variety of different drivers. You’ll need shopping supplies so if not coming by car, get them on arrival and get picked up from the supermarket (the supermarket isn’t far from the airport at all). Or if you aren’t coming by car, they kindly offer a delivery service of groceries. We didn’t really appreciate how far and expensive to town it was so didn’t do this but should have. If you have your own car/hire car, it’s probably more cost effective and you can go into town more readily. We saw the day we left that there is a car hire place in town so if we were to come again, we’d still stay at maze lodge but get a car.
If you don’t want to hire car or don’t have one and need a taxi, they have a gentleman who knows the location but organise this advance of your arrival.
- Jacqueline (8/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und das Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Weg ist ein Erlebnis aber mit einem hohen Auto machbar. Die Liegen am Pool sind etwas unbequem da wären Auflagen sehr hilfreich. Auch so einfache Sachen wie ein Kochlöffel oder Pfannenwender wären in der Küche hilfreich.
- Rasmus (10/5): -
- Diane (7/5): Moment très agréable en pleine nature - La chambre est très belle et en pleine nature, nous avons pu observer de nombreux animaux depuis notre balcon tels que des toucans, singes et autres. Joli point de vue en hauteur. Piscine très agréable. Les équipements de la cuisine sont très bien pour se faire à manger. Les propriétaires sont agréables et aux petits soins. Accès très difficile au lodge via une route de 5km pleine de roches et de trous, inaccessible sans un 4x4. Pas d’eau chaude dans la chambre, c’est un indispensable.
- Melissa (10/5): - Schöne, ruhige Lage mit toller Aussicht. Wir konnten vom Bett aus Tukane beobachten und haben drei verschiedene Affenarten gesehen. Ein wunderschönes Naturerlebnis!
- Lisa (10/5): - Sehr schön gestaltete Anlage, auf der man sehr viele Tiere (u.a Tukane und Affen) beobachten kann. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und schön gestaltet.
Wir hatten etwas Angst vor der Fahrt, weil einige Bewertungen die Fahrt zu Unterkunft angemerkt haben. Können aber absolut nicht bestätigen, dass der Weg problematisch ist. Mit einem 4x4 sehr gut machbar
- Kristin (10/5): -
- FREDERIC (9/5): A great place to stay - The personnel is exceptionally kind and helpful. The room and deck views are breathtaking, and you can see tons of monkeys and colorful birds a few meters away from you while sipping your coffee. The road is bad, 4x4 vehicle is recommended. Some gravel in the deepest holes would be very welcome.
- Christian (10/5): Best place to see wild life from your porch. - Amazing location in the jungle. Teaming with wild life. We had toucans in the tree next to our casita the entire 2 days. There was a spectacle of monkeys and coati feeding from a tree next to our casita both mornings and evenings. Deck and pool furniture could be more comfortable. That can be solved by simply adding cushions.
- Lukáš (10/5): Amazing, strongly recommended, superb experience. - Location - jungle all around with all animals you came to see in Costa Rica. Really cosy bungalows and felt a great hospitality. Superb experience.
- Marco (7/5): - You‘re in the midst of the nature with a lot of wildlife right in front of your balcony. There is also a grill and a fully equipped kitchen you can use. Bathroom was quite big. Staff was friendly. The road to the lodge (~4km) is bumpy and rocky and actually in terrible conditions. You need a proper 4x4 vehicle! However, we had a Suzuki Vitara Allgrip and managed to get to the property but the car definitely reached its limits during the ride. It took us around 30 minutes for these 4km and you have to fully concentrate especially while driving a rental. Also, only cold showers and the sink of the kitchen was leaking.
- Christian (10/5): Atemberaubend schöner Aufenthalt mitten im Dschungel mit Tucanen und anderen Tieren direkt vorm Balkonfenster! Wahnsinni - Die Unterkunft liegt mitten im Dschungel. Die Straße die dort hinführt ist nur mit einem 4x4 Drive zu schaffen. Dort angekommen befindet sich eine traumhafte Unterkunft mit tollen Zimmern, unglaublich freundlichen Gastgebern und einem atemberaubend schönen Blick in die Natur. Es gab nichts auszusetzen. Die Unterkunft ist noch sehr neu!
- John (10/5): Fantastische - De omgeving zit vol met ara’s, toekans en apen👌 prachtige plek 🫶 Niets
- Sofia (10/5): - Wonderful stay at Maze Lodge
Maze Lodge is beautifully located and offers a fantastic view of nature. From the lodge terrace, you can observe many animals — a real highlight!
The staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and always eager to make sure guests have everything they need. They also provide great assistance with organizing tours.
A very special thank-you goes to Zairo – he is incredibly kind, attentive, and takes wonderful care of the guests.
We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!
- Weiwei (9/5): Wonderful place in the middle of the jungle! -
- OZGUR (8/5): -
- BEATRIZ (10/5): - La habitación era increíble, tiene 2 dormitorios uno de ellos con vistas a la jungla. La decoración de la habitación y de la terraza era muy bonita. El personal muy agradable, tanto Zairo como el propietario Álex se preocuparon de que nuestra estancia fuera perfecta. Lo mejor eran las vistas, vimos 3 tipos diferentes de monos en los árboles de la terraza, muy cerca nuestro y se escuchaban sonidos de la jungla, era impresionante. También pudimos ver tucanes y monos desde la piscina del hotel que es nueva y preciosa. El hotel es un 10.
- Fatiha (9/5): Sehr schöne Unterkunft und nette Gastgeber. - Die Natur drumherum ist sehr schön. Tukane und Affen konnten wir von der Terrasse aus beobachten. Schöne Einrichtung und Blick fürs Detail. Auch der Pool war sehr schön. Alex und Zeyro waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Straße zur Unterkunft war herausfordernd.
- michele (10/5): Waze Lodge est un petit coin de paradis et un havre de paix au milieu d’une forêt tropicale à une quinzaine de minutes d -
- dorota (10/5): Wunderschön - Man ist sehr schön in der Natur und sieht viele verschiedene Tiere (zB hatten wir immer direkte Aussicht auf Tukane, Affen und Schmetterlinge beim Frühstück). Außerdem sind die Zimmer bzw. die ganze Anlage total stylisch eingerichtet. Es ist auch extrem sauber und man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Der Pool ist auch toll. Und vor allem wollen wir den Service loben. Die Reinigungskraft macht ihren Job sehr gut: Er hat sogar unser Geschirr gespült und aufgeräumt. Zudem fragten wir am Anfang unseres Aufenthalts nach einem Föhn und bekamen dann tatsächlich einen neu gekauft (weil sie noch keinen hatten). Wow! So einen Service hatten wir noch nie! Leider ist die Zufahrt zur Lodge ziemlich steinig/ fast unzumutbar. Wir hoffen eine etwas bessere Schotterstraße ist in Planung. Man braucht unbedingt einen SUV mit Allrad Antrieb!!!
(& die Holzliegen am Pool waren ziemlich ungemütlich weil es noch keine Matten dafür gibt, aber da haben uns die Besitzer gesagt sie würden welche besorgen)
- Burak Fıçı (9/5): Ongelooflijke plek. Een absolute droomlocatie! - Ongelooflijke plek. Een absolute droomlocatie!
Vooral de Toucan Lodge biedt een adembenemend uitzicht over het regenwoud. Vanaf je balkon zie je kleurrijke vogels, vlinders, toekan, papagaiieen en speelse primaten voorbijtrekken. Een unieke ervaring.
De villa is ruim, straalt rust uit en is smaakvol ingericht: minimalistisch, maar met alles wat je nodig hebt. Er is een keukentje met kookbarbecue buiten.
Wat deze plek echt bijzonder maakt, is de stilte, de geluiden van de natuur en het gevoel dat je midden in een natuurreservaat verblijft, dat begint letterlijk op een paar meter van je deur.
Het balkon is ruim en voorzien van een telescoop om ’s avonds de sterren te bewonderen. Binnen zijn er twee grote slaapkamers, een ruime badkamer, en een goed werkend horrensysteem. Wij hadden helemaal geen last van muggen.
Het bed was heerlijk zacht en comfortabel, de airco werkte uitstekend, en er is een eigen parkeerplek. En misschien wel het mooiste: je hoort én ziet de primaten gewoon vanuit je bed. Voor een hotel van deze klasse en prijsklasse zijn er nog wat verbeterpunten.
Let op: de toegangsweg is een onverharde landweg van ongeveer 20 minuten rijden. Zonder een goede, hoge 4x4 en enige rijervaring kan dit traject als spannend of zelfs benauwend worden ervaren. Sommige delen van de weg zijn behoorlijk heftig.
Ook ontbreekt er duidelijke bewegwijzering op, wat het lastig maakt om bijvoorbeeld bij aankomst je weg te vinden.
Het hotelterrein voelt nog niet helemaal af: op sommige plekken wordt nog gewerkt aan de afwerking.
De badkamer was ruim, maar had op sommige punten een wat slordige afwerking, niet helemaal wat je verwacht in deze prijscategorie. Het water loopt niet weg en de randen zien er vies uit.
Ook is er geen aanbod van snacks of kleine extra’s, wat onhandig kan zijn gezien de afgelegen ligging. Je kunt hier niet zo gauw weg, dus neem vooral je voorraad mee. En een tip voor de accomodatie: bied kleine snacks of drankjes aan.
Daarnaast vonden wij de wasseretteservice aan de dure kant. 20 dollar voor een wasbeurt is niet normaal.
- Dominik (8/5): -
- Gillian (10/5): Exceptional - Really special location, beautiful accommodation, lots of wildlife around the property. Would definitely stay here again.
- Maxim (10/5): Great place in the jungle - It's a great location in the jungle with a huge terrace from which you can see the animals and birds in their natural environment. We enjoyed it very much. The pool is being completed on the property so we heard minimal construction noise. It didn't bother us much as we were going to the ocean.
- Eric (10/5): Seclusion in the jungle - We had a wonderful time at Maze Lodge in the middle of the jungle!
Sure the road is a little bumpy but nothing a 4x4 car (we had a Suzuki Jimny) can't handle...a little adventure ride for free :)
We want to thank our hosts Frida and Alexander so much for hospitality and their support!
We had a great time and a big experience! All the best for your Maze Lodge!
- Roddy (10/5): Truly an exceptional jungle experience - Maze Lodge manages to achieve a very authentic, secluded feel whilst also providing all the comforts needed to make a jungle stay more enjoyable (very good AC, running water, wifi, electricity). Alex and Frida were extremely welcoming and were always on hand to assist and even helped with some wildlife spotting - it genuinely felt more like staying in someone’s guest house than a hotel. Despite being relatively close to Puerto Jimenez, it does feel as if you are staying in the middle of the jungle, being awoken by howler monkeys and seeing toucans directly off the balcony. Their recommended Corcovado guide Louis was fantastic and I would recommend booking tours through Maze Lodge. There is a big supermarket in Puerto Jimenez where you can stock up supplies as the Lodge offers excellent cooking options - including a grill on the very scenic deck. I’m excited to see how the pool comes along! We loved everything about the lodge - a bit of an adventure getting there but well worth it!
- Robert (9/5): Great spot, right in the jungle, wonderful hosts that take care of your every need. - You are located right in the jungle! You are on the monkey highway’! So many animals to see right from your deck, three kinks of monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, trogons, hummingbirds and more.
Great beds; screens on the windows as well as fans and good AC. This allows you to have the room open to a nice breeze or the comfort of the AC. Wonderful big shower with plenty of hot water. Large refrigerator with room for ice. Bird tour with Louise was wonderful, they have lots of other tours available and they will pick you up right at Maze Lodge.
The lodge is right next to a Zip Line tour, we didn’t try it, but I’m sure you can get a great deal. You definitely need 4 wheel drive to get there, especially if it rains. The pool and spa are almost complete. Restaurant coming soon, you do have a kitchen, so pick up food in Puerto Jiménez, don’t forget ice. You can also have food delivered from Puerto Jiménez.
- Alina (8/5): Beautiful in the nature - - beautiful little lodges with privacy and a great view into the trees
- great for birdwatching ( we saw toucans, hummingbirds close by etc.)
- a telescope on the terrace ( unfortunately we couldn’t use it because of a rainy night)
- Frida the host was very helpful and open and tried to solve every question / problem
- in the future there will be a great swimming pool to share for the 3 lodges ( now still in the making) - you can ONLY get with a 4x4 to the location ! (we got the information after we booked it, luckily Frida and Alex offered to get us with their car from Puerto Jimenez (20-25 min ride) )
- there are no big towels
- there were a lot of little insects (maybe passing the mosquito net because they are so small and we had light inside), but they are harmless
- only cold water showers
- the kitchen could have a little bit more stuff to cook since there is no way to eat out around close by ( Puerto Jimenez 20 min with a 4x4) ( maybe a big bowl, a scissor, a cutting board, salt and pepper would be nice)
- communication was in the beginning not the best because we texted them multiple times without an answer ( after two days we found out communication via what’s app was easiest with them instead of mail)
- Peter (10/5): Excellent. - An exceptional place to stay, with nature and abundant beauty all around you. The rooms, with views of rain forest, the stars in the night makes for a wonderful experience. If you ask nicely,Alex may take you on a hike of their land.
- Jeremiasz (10/5): Exceptional - This place was everything we hoped to find in Osa penisula. Beautiful view from the terrace, comfortable cabin, great hosts.
- Susanna (10/5): Beautiful place, amazing location - total relaxation, would highly recommend!!! - Amazing 2 BR house in the middle of the jungle! Clean, spacious, everything we needed. We really enjoyed our time in there. Cooked dinner outside on the patio and spent the evening watching the stars and listening to the sounds from the jungle. Saw monkeys and birds from the patio. Total relaxation. The owner of the place, Alexander, took good care of us. We could also book a guide to our Corcovado tour through him. Would highly recommend!!!
- Glóey (10/5): Great stay in a lovely lodge with fabulous view from the veranda over the jungle. - Great lodge, beautiful views of the jungle, very friendly and helpful host, on site caretaker excellent.
- Richard (9/5): Very nice place to enjoy nature - It is a very nice place to stay. We saw many monkeys, tucan’s and other animals from our terrace. Alex and Mads were very nice and helpful. We did a small jungle hike with them.
- Maciej (10/5): Maze Lodge is a beautifully designed, eco-friendly and full of nature retreat in the Osa Peninsula! - The journey to get there was a bit bumpy, but trust us - it’s absolutely worth it!
The property itself is breathtaking, with a beautiful trek that winds through lush greenery. This trail leads to a magnificent old oak tree and a river—an idyllic spot for nature lovers. We stayed in the Tunas Lodge, and let me tell you, the name is perfect. Toucans are everywhere and their favorite hangout spot is right above the bungalow. Watching these vibrant birds so up close was pure magic. The lodge is beautifully designed. One of the highlights was waking up to the sounds of nature and stepping onto the balcony to witness all four species of monkeys casually jumping from tree to tree. The owners are incredibly nice and always ready to help. What truly stands out about Maze Lodge is the owners’ commitment to sustainability. They work with local providers, ensuring that the lodge supports the community and minimizes its environmental footprint. Our stay was short, but we’re already looking forward to returning. Maze Lodge is a true hidden gem for anyone seeking a magical and eco-friendly escape in the heart of the Osa Peninsula. Our stay was to short!
