Guest Reviews
- Paula (9/5): -
- Louise (10/5): Incredible place and people, really helped make our trip special - Unique, creative and eco-friendly Nothing- would have been great if torches and binoculars were available to borrow
- bernard (8/5): - En plein dans la jungle La première chambre proposée était vraiment laide et petite, mai on nous a changé pour une nettement mieux et plus grande Chambres très sombres
- Thorey (10/5): En pleine nature ! - Expérience unique dans un lieu ouvert sur la nature et où les animaux apparaissent devant vous : colibris, toucans, iguanes... Il y en a pour tout le monde. Sergio et toute l'équipe sont très disponibles, discrets, sympathiques et toujours prêts à vous faire découvrir Sarapiqui et leur pays. Bonus : le petit-déjeuner est le meilleur du Costa-Rica et le plus copieux :)
- Yan (9/5): -
- Elvira (9/5): - Chambre simple, mais spacieuse?..! repas, bon et généreux. Personnel, très aimable et serviable. Merci pour tout.
- Jonathan (10/5): - Fantastic location excellent lodging very accommodating and friendly staff. We had planned to do a guided bird walk at La Selva, but the staff at Chilamate were able to arrange for someone to meet us at the retreat. It was fantastic. We even saw an otter in the river. Would love to come back again.
- Adeline (10/5): Ideal pour passer une nuit au calme dans un cadre idyllique - Le cadre, l’organisation de l’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel, le petit-déjeuner local Rien
- Dominique (9/5): - Ambiance sympa La pluie, mais c'est la Rainforest !
- Joris (9/5): -
- Lisa (9/5): Thuis in de natuur. - De prachtige locatie en het supervriendelijke en zorgzame personeel. O en het eten niet te vergeten! Dat we niet langer konden blijven.
- Catherine (8/5): Amazing overall experience - Great overall experience right next to rainforest that you could explore by yourselves. Not warned in advance about some building work going on. Noisy at times.
- Aryeri (10/5): - El lugar es precioso, la atención del personal fue muy muy amable, y el desayuno estaba delicioso. Además organizan tours, por lo que es perfecto para disfrutar al 100% de lo lindo que es Sarapiquí.
- Jürgen (9/5): - Zimmer mit Terrasse Hauseigener Trail Armaturen sollten überholt werden Birdwatching angemeldet nicht professionelle Kommunikation
- Peter (6/5): Einfach und billig - Kein Warmwasser zum Duschen
- beatrix (8/5): - Naast de rivier waar je kan zwemmen en hun beleid om het regenwoud te herstellen Weinig vogels te zien
- Isabelle (9/5): Exceptionnel, excellent rapport qualité prix! - Le buffet du petit déjeuner est incroyablement abondant, avec un immense choix, à volonté, avec du froid et du chaud, salé et sucré, des choix continentaux et locaux, préparés avec amour, tout était absolument délicieux! La grande taille des chambres L'immense parc dans lequel se trouvent les chambres où on peut se balader longuement pour observer les oiseaux. Le parcours de méditation proposé à travers le parc. Le personnel extrêmement accueillant, chaleureux, très professionnel, toujours prêt à aider. Le garde forestier, excellent connaisseur, vrai professionnel amoureux de la nature contrairement aux guides de certains parcs nationaux! La possibilité de se baigner dans la rivière non loin, mais les courants sont assez forts. Rien !
- France (10/5): -
- Stéphane (9/5): - Super expérience au milieu de la forêt ! Merci à Sergio pour son accueil et sa grande disponibilité 😀
- David (10/5): -
- jean noel (5/5): - Le prix d’appel correspond à une chambre spacieuse mais située en pleine nature, dans un bâtiment doté de plusieurs chambres, situé à 10 minutes à pied du bâtiment principal, sujette à l’intrusion d’insectes et de lézards, et très rustique, il faut le savoir. Cela peut convenir aux amateurs de nature à l’état pur, mais pas aux personnes sensibles aux araignées (même inoffensives). Les chambres plus modernes et donc plus chères (le double), sont dans le bâtiment principal plus moderne.
- carla (10/5): Séjour incroyable en pleine Rainforst. L’endroit est magnifique et l’expérience est unique au cœur de la nature . Sergio - Les lieux , la cuisine et le personnel aux petits soins
- chaitanya (9/5): -
- Marie-Madeleine (8/5): bien pour un court séjour - Immersion en pleine nature Parking et petit déjeuner trop éloigné du site surtout sous une pluie abondante et pas de lumière à la nuit tombée (18h)
- Constance (7/5): Endroit vraiment exceptionnel qui mérite le détour - La proximité avec la jungle la ballade en autonomie était tres appréciable nous avons vu des singes des grenouilles un serpent Nous avons egalement fait du rafting avec une super equipe Dans la chambre familiale il y avait une cuisine mais cela n'était pas précisé en amont donc nous n'avons pas pu en profiter la chambre etait vraiment spacieuse avec 4 vrais lits et 2 canapés Incompréhension sur le dîner que l'on a cru offert alors que c'était 25$ par personne ce qui est relativement chèr même s'il etait bien fourni de produits cuisinés maison
- Felix (10/5): -
- Lucy (7/5): In the heart of nature - This really is a super location in the biodiversity corridor. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and really knew their wild life. We had dinner and breakfast. Both buffet style, tasty food and wide range of options. We saw and heard so many birds, even tho we arrived 5.30pm and left by 9am. You need to be comfortable being with nature, it is everywhere. It was a bit dated. But clean
- Greta (10/5): - Mooie locatie in de jungle. Leuke kamer met groot terras, zeteltjes, hangmatten, ligbed, buitenkeuken, frigo. Fan boven het bed. Mooie badkamer. Parkeerplek voor de rivier. Bar, koffie de hele dag, lekker buffet 's avonds, ontbijtbuffet. Zeker een kamer over de rivier nemen. Heel vriendelijk personeel. Niets
- Francois (10/5): -
- Marie-Pierre (6/5): Séjour pour passionnés de la forêt tropicale humide - Le personnel passionné par la protection de la nature, très grand domaine avec de nombreux oiseaux Confort de colo mais sans eau chaude dans la douche, diner déraisonnablement cher (25 euros pour une assiette de buffet)
- nathalie (10/5): Au cœur de la forêt, personnel adorable -
- Amélie (10/5): -
- Axelle (10/5): Magnifique séjour à Chilamate - Accueil au top, personnel très chaleureux et disponible, ils nous ont aidé à organiser nos visites et ont été de bons conseils. Hôtel calme au cœur de la jungle, petit déjeuner et dîner très bon, copieux et varié! Rien. Petit axe d’amélioration : mieux indiquer les sentiers de randonnée et aussi: dans la logique écologique de l’hôtel, ne pas faire le ménage tous les jours et changer les serviettes pour les séjours de 2 nuits
- S22TS (10/5): - Extrem freundliches, hilfsbereites und kundiges Personal, noch mehr als sonst in Costa Rica. Sehr leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen, beides in großer Auswahl in Buffetform. Die Birding tour um 5:45 Uhr mit Wiiliam ist sehr zu empfehlen. Kostenloser Gummistiefelverleih mit Waschstation. Fehlende Ablagemöglichkeiten und Haken (wie so oft in Costa Rica). Fliegengitter ließen sich teilweise nicht schließen.
- ERIC (9/5): Deux nuits sympathiques - Emplacement très sympa avec suffisamment de monde pour faire des rencontres Petit trail privé à proximité directe. Bons dîners et petits déjeuners buffet. J'attends toujours leur catalogue d'activités. Tant pis pour eux. Chambre sommaire Eau (très) froide Un peu cher. J'avais demandé un lit double et j'ai eu un lit simple. Pourtant l'intitulé de la chambre est : chambre double.
- Philippe (8/5): -
- olympe (10/5): - The staff is super nice and made our stay perfect. It’s in the rainforest so you are totally immersed. Nothing
- Léo (9/5): - Emplacement en pleine nature. Personnel très chaleureux, accueillant et compréhensif. Petit déjeuner très bon et varié. Dîner en supplément très bon également. Jardin avec plein d'animaux sauvages observables. Chambre petite. Eau tiède dans la douche.
- Caroline (8/5): - Emplacement serein dans la foret , parcours zen le petit plus .Personnel jeune et devoué. Chambres un peu vieilottes
- catherine (7/5): - Le calme au milieu de la foret, la disponibilité et l accueil du personnel. L'eau froide, le lit un peu raide et le petit déjeuner sans saveurs
- Markus (9/5): -
- Patrick (9/5): -
- Richard (8/5): - We stayed in the timber lodge accommodation, which is a fantastic location to live immersed on the edge of a rainforest bordering the river. The breakfast was delicious and they source as much food as possible locally. There are 6 km of easy to hike forest trails where you can spot local wildlife like monkeys, turtles, and frogs. If you want to see the strawberry (blue jeans) poison dart frog, they actually live around the walkways and we've seen them both times we've stayed here. Please move the restaurant back to the original location 😀
- Ellie (9/5): Relaxing in beautiful nature - We loved the location and wildlife. The friendly and knowledgeable staff were always ready to help. Amazing place to relax and take time to reflect. Delicious food. Great walk to breakfast over the river. Beds a little uncomfortable but fine. Cold showers.
- Antonio (8/5): - Muy agradable e integrado en la naturaleza. El personal atento y agradable, especialmente Sergio, que nos ayudó en todo momento.
- Päivö (10/5): -
- Maxence (10/5): - The staff was very nice and helpful, and the location is great!
- Esther (9/5): - Tout d'abord l'accueil et le lieu qui nous a immédiatement séduit. Très grand Retreat lodge, très bien entretenu , avec beaucoup d'endroits pour se prélasser au calme. Seuls bruits, celui des animaux et celui de la rivière Sarapiqui qui borde le coin. On peut s'y baigner en observant les centaines d'oiseaux qui survolent la région. Grand plus pour le touriste, on y est au calme, loin de la grande foule. Il y a aussi beaucoup a visiter dans les environs. Petit déjeuner top, repas du soir possible et délicieux 😋 Rien
- Russell (8/5): -
- Stéphane (10/5): - L'integration dans la nature, le personnel
- Franziska (10/5): Un accueil de grande qualité dans un site en pleine nature - Le site nous a beaucoup plu car bien intégré dans la nature. Tout est fait pour l’observation de la faune et flore. Les logements sont simples, propres et pratiques. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l’accueil d’une équipe jeune, motivée, sympathique et sincèrement désireuse de nous informer le mieux possible.
- jamie (6/5): Rainforest sanctuary in need of a bit of an update. - The owners are doing a worthy thing in protecting her rainforest and giving people access and education to this environment. Bang in heart of rainforest. Right on river alongside. Lots of birds and wildlife. Staff very helpful and good food. River rafting - with company recommended by them - was very very good. River was high but guides were excellent and felt is very good hands. Saw sloths, toucans, howlers and king fishers as we rafted. Our visit coincided with major renovations to the main communal / kitchen/ bar area. Unfortunately we were not told about this in advance and meals were a bit of a walk away from the rooms (5/6 mins, across the river). They dealt with this very well and had staff with torches showing the way and the temporary dining room was done well and the food and breakfast good. But it definitely affected the vibe of the place with no heart to the place. But this is unavoidable if they want to do upgrades, something which feels necessary across the property (which is vast and a massive project). Sergio was a great host.
- Mégane (9/5): - Le personnel est d’une gentillesse incroyable ! Cet endroit est situé dans une forêt, à l’écart du monde. C’est magnifique. Notre chambre était très bien. Je recommande les yeux fermés ! Le petit déjeuner est un buffet de très grande qualité. Le prix du repas du soir ( très bon mais cher)
- Heinz (8/5): -
- Joost (2/5): -
- Wolfgang (10/5): - Zauberhafte Lage, respektvoller Umgang der Betreiber mit Flora und Fauna, nachhaltiges Konzept der Unterkunft, exzellentes Essen (Buffet) von den Frauen des Ortes zubereitet. Extrem freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Nichts
- Sudhakar (10/5): What a great place to stay in the Sarapiqui region - Our second eco stay in Costa Rica and so far the best. The location is amazing with the soothing rush of the river nearby which is also awesome for a swim on hot days. It's just far enough from the madding crowds to be peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to local sodas and markets and everything else. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful (Fernanda deserves a special mention) . The breakfast buffet is superb with local delicacies like spiced (seeds and real chillies) chorizo, rice and beans as well as fare for the less adventurous , with fresh juice, coffee etc. The one dinner we had was also great and an absolute bargain. The rooms/bathrooms were clean and comfortable. There are common areas with coffee/tea/biscuits always available and a kitchen with fridge if you want to cook your own. To top it all off you can wander off into the surrounding reasonably marked trails to see howler monkeys, toucans, etc. Nothing
- Mario (9/5): Ein tolles Erlebnis für die Familie - Total naturnah
- Diletta (10/5): -
- Julia (10/5): -
- Jacob Lindholm Thuesen (9/5): -
- Quentin (9/5): Great stay in the middle of the nature - Great atmosphere and great place Staff is super friendly and helps you planning your activities Plenty of possible activities ! Really nice breakfast and dinner Dark room and no AC, which is inconvenient when it’s raining a lot.
- Lisa (9/5): - The hotel was in the middle of rain forest. We were in Costa Rica to see birds and so it was the prefect environment. The hotel provided boots for walking their trails which were necessary due to the regular downpours at this time of year. Breakfast was delicious and many options were available. Parking was safe. When they get the new administration building finished it will be easier to check in and get to the hotel room - but it was a fairly muddy trek to get to breakfast and into our rooms. But doable. Work on the trails around and sponsored by the hotel would make walking easier.
- fabienne (10/5): - L accueil Le lieu La gentillesse du personnel Les repas La meteo
- Karen Susana (10/5): Vale muchísimo la pena. - Primeramente la atención. El personal del hotel es la cara de las instalaciones. Con eso pensamos súper bien. Las instalaciones frente a ese río tan grande y hermoso, simplemente impresionante. La conservación de zonas verdes, y el cuidado de perritos, que acojen y cuidan, eso es simplemente invaluable. Nos encantó! Únicamente, que había que caminar bastante para ir por el desayuno, y a la recepción. Mi papá tiene una condición que lo cansa mucho al caminar bastante, pero igual iba contento 😊
- Yvonne (6/5): Preis/ Leistung müsste angepasst werden. Einfache Ausstattung, keine Klimaanlage, kaltes Wasser aber dann 74$ pro Na - Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich. Weitläufige Anlage, sehr ursprünglich und natürlich. Die Idee dahinter (nachhaltiger Tourismus) Starker Vekehrslärm (Straße vor der Anlage sehr laut), Baustelle auf dem Gelände ohne vorherige Information
- Veronique (8/5): - L accueil et la disponibilité du personnel L emplacement
- Amandine (10/5): Agréable séjours - Deuxième fois que nous sommes venues ici, à une période différente de l'année, l'emplacement est parfait, dans la forêt où nous pouvons nous balader, le personnel est toujours très accueillant et disponible, il est même possible d'emprunter des bottes pour se balader, comme nous avons eu beaucoup de pluie c'était bien pratique pour marcher sur les sentiers boueux ! 👌 Nous avons également pris le repas du soir à 24 dollars. Le petit-déjeuner était assez copieux. Étant végétarienne j'aurais peut-être apprécié qu'il y ait un peu plus de choix sans viande et sans poisson pour le repas du soir ou éventuellement un tarif réduit pour les végétariens/vegans car les choix au buffet étaient restreint, si non tout était très bien :)
- Jean Jacques (9/5): - Personnel très accueillant et disponible, nuit bercée par le bruit de la rivière. Café disponible à volonté. Petit déjeuner buffet varié mais pourquoi nous donner de l'omelette "industrielle" au lieu de vrais œufs ?
- Rahel (8/5): Einfache Unterkunft mit tollem Service und gutem Essen - Sehr persönlicher Empfang, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, großes Zimmer, leckeres Essen
- Pauline (9/5): -
- Nolwenn (6/5): Pas terrible, rien d un eco lodge - Super petit déjeuner, deux options pour les chambres soit après la rivière avec des logements type cabine dans une zone a moitié abandonnée, soit dans le bâtiment principal avec la clim et proche de la route. Une zone est quasi abandonnée...et dans l'autre la route est proche, pas terrible...ceci n'a rien a voir avec un eco lodge comme le titre laisserait le supposer.
- Xavier (8/5): -
- Patrick (9/5): -
- Houston (8/5): -
- Julia (9/5): - Howler monkeys on site, rainforest all around, roaring river right next door. Cannot top the location. Room was modest but fine. The bed was too soft, being in one spot for a couple of minutes left a dent that would take a while to come back up.
- Emeric (9/5): - Great breakfast and diner (optional). Friendly staff and superb location No remarks
- Nadine (8/5): Schöner Aufenthalt mit kleinen Abstrichen - Insgesamt hat es uns in der Chilamate Lodge sehr gut gefallen! Das Personal war sehr freundlich und das Essen sehr lecker! Essen ist zwar preislich, im Vergleich zu Costa Rica, eher hoch aber da es Buffet ist fanden wir es dann ok für den Preis. Wir freuten uns, dass die Lodge auch ein budgetfreundliches Schlafsaal anbietet. Nochmals zum Schlafsaal: auch wenn wir eine sehr unkomplizierte Familie sind fanden wir, dass der Schlafsaal für den Preis etwas renoviert werden könnte. Von der Decke rieselte immer Dreck auf das Bett und es war extrem modrig. Also mehr als in den anderen von uns besuchten Unterkünften im Dschungel. Die Spielecke könnte man aufräumen und alte kaputte Spiele entsorgen😉
- Pepe82 (10/5): - Posizione, pulizia, staff, colazione molto ricca, contatto con la natura intorno.. un paradiso!
- Josue (10/5): - Demasiado lindo y barato Nada
- Thomas (10/5): -
- Florence (10/5): Loved it with young kids - Stayed with our 4 year old and 9 month old. Fantastic because you don't have to go far to feel like you're really trekking in the rainforest. They have wellies to borrow when it rains and torches for walking around at night. We stayed in the family suite which is the other side of the river and absolutely huge! We really recommend breakfast and dinner too! Watched hummingbirds from the hammocks. Nothing, it was great! 2 nights was enough for us but you could do more if it wasn't so wet.
- Morgan (9/5): We did the night tour and it was amazing. -
- Marieke (9/5): Loved a very relaxing stay. We made good use of the hammocks after some exciting rafting. Very recommended. - Very beautiful set-up, super-friendly staff, great location if you want to do activities on the river (rafting). Relatively close to a busy road: apart from the river you also hear trucks go by.
- Adrien (9/5): Superb -
- Ania (9/5): Beautiful eco retreat - Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful location and self guided walking trails to see lots of nature.
- Rebecca (10/5): Spacious accommodation, friendly staff, lots of activities, tasty food - The food was delicious and plenty to eat and choose from. The staff are really friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The trails around the grounds are perfect and you really are in the rainforest. The accommodation was incredible. We stayed just outside of the retreat in a two bedroom apartment. Even though we didn’t realise it wasn’t actually in the retreat, it exceeded our expectations. The staff would walk us over with flash lights at dark and provided umbrellas if it was raining. It was as also next to where we parked our car. The facilities were good, we made cheese toasties one night!
- Randal (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible location, concept and staff. Helpful on planning activities. Buffet breakfast and lunch was delicioud.
- Daryl (8/5): Very good stay and can recommend the white water rafting next door as well. - We liked the tree house, help with bags to and from car was good. The food was very good as offered plenty of vegetarian options. Use of Wellington boots for hollering was helpful. Staff were friendly and generally helpful. The shower broke and we needed to another rooms shower on the last night which was annoying.
- Benjamin (10/5): loved the experience - awesome location and very nice cabins, staff very helpful and friendly, the tours were organized very professional, food was amazing, family run business, hike through the rainforest, boots are free to rent
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carroll (10/5): We would go back in a heartbeat. - The food was uniformly delicious. The owners and staff couldn’t have been more helpful organizing tours. The cabins were rustic but charming and the landscape was breathtaking. As always, the lighting is never adequate for readers. And the pillows were lumpy, but they seem to be lumpy everywhere.
- Linda (10/5): We will definetely go back - Excellent location, easy access Opportunities for side trip Right in the rainforest/jungle
- Dave (10/5): Really lovely, attentive staff, great home cooked food in its own rainforest, what’s not to like. - Lovely attentive staff, lovely gardens Nothing
- Matthew (8/5): Highly recommend. Staff were fantastic. Food was good. Wonderful property with nature surrounding you. Great tours right - Location - immersed in the rainforest yet easy to access. Our room was quite dark and I wish there were more common elevated viewing areas - other rooms looked much better.
- Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible experience in the rainforest. Staff extremely friendly and attentive to our needs, going out of their way to make us feel at home. The room was very spacious for our family of five. The screened in seating area was a nice touch. Nothing. I wish we could have stayed longer!
- Jeroenmu (10/5): Best jungle experience in this region - If you want a real jungle experience, this is the place. Combine that with comfortable rooms, a hot shower, stunning nature, very friendly staff and great food. That is Chilamate Eco Retreat. We went for a rafting tour (booked in the hotel), it was AWESOME! Our guide was a pro-kayaker and knew this river like his back pocket. Friendly, funny and explains a lot about the nature there. The hotel provided water shoes as we did not have them. Also book the Night Walk in the hotel. Because the garden and jungle around the hotel is full of animals! You won't spot it yourself, but with a guide you will see amazing nature. What we saw in the jungle garden: armadillo, snakes, banana spider, red eyed frog, poison dart frog, opossum, basilisk, bullfrog, bullet ant, lizards, and more! So, we only got 1 advice for travellers: Go here. There is lots to see. Also good food at Sodas around the hotel.
- Claire (8/5): An overnight to explore sarapiqui - Great food and lovely staff Bed
- Alice (8/5): We had a great experience - Really friendly, helpful staff. Nice setting by the river. The shower was cold.
- Victor (9/5): In the middle of the jungle, great place - Friendly staff, helpful with activities. Great setting in the forest with many animals around. You have to be quick at the dinner buffet as they don't refill all types of food.
