Guest Reviews

• Gerlinde (9/5): Ruhig und sehr gepflegt mit schönem Garten - Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Ein großes Zimmer, sehr sauber. Ein schöner Pool mit genügend Liegen mit dicker Auflage waren vorhanden. Das Frühstück hatte wirklich alles was man braucht. Viel leckeres Obst und jeden Tag ein anderes Gericht im Wechsel. Das Abendessen war ganz ausgezeichnet, wir haben 3 x dort gegessen.
• Gloria (10/5): -
• Vytautas (10/5): - Very friendly staff, nice surroundings, comfortable rooms. Roads leading to it are a bit rough
• Julie (10/5): - Super expérience au Rinconcito Lodge à Rincón de la Vieja. Franchement, tout était parfait du début à la fin. C’est un très bel hôtel, en pleine nature, avec une vraie ambiance paisible et dépaysante. Le staff est adorable, et énorme coup de cœur pour l’équipe du restaurant : efficaces, souriants, attentionnés, vraiment professionnels tout en restant chaleureux. On a pris tous nos repas sur place et tout était excellent. Les cocktails sont très bons, les portions généreuses, et les prix restent raisonnables pour le Costa Rica. Les chambres sont belles et confortables. Nous avions la dernière chambre tout au fond, la “Mountain Room”, avec vue sur la forêt et les oiseaux partout autour. Réveil au son de la jungle, magnifique. L’hôtel est aussi idéalement placé pour visiter l’un des plus beaux secteurs du parc national de Rincón de la Vieja, une région qu’on adore pour son côté plus sauvage, authentique et nature. Petit point à savoir : comme souvent au Costa Rica, la route est assez chaotique. Et les chambres les plus au fond sont vraiment haut perchées. Avec les bagages, mieux vaut prévoir un 4x4 ou monter en voiture. Nous faisions clairement la remontée en voiture. Mais honnêtement, ça vaut largement le détour. Très calme, belle piscine, super atmosphère… On y reviendra avec grand plaisir. Séjour trop court....
• Lorena (8/5): - muy nuevo y perfecto para descansar Está apartado de todo
• Craig (9/5): - Comfortable air conditioned rooms, David was very welcoming and informative, the breakfast buffet was very good.
• Douglas (9/5): Overall excellent place near nature reserve you wake up in morning to the sound of birds - Facilities location food was good quality breakfast was amazing very quiet with birds all around and nice trails they had horses as well There was some problems but they took care of them in a good way
• Clemens (9/5): -
• Jens (10/5): Tolle Location mit extrem freundlichem Service - Tolle Location mit extrem freundlichem Service Anfahrt über Liberia sehr herausfordernd
• Michael (10/5): A touch of Paradise in the jungle - This is a bit of paradise in the middle of nowhere. The grounds are full of plant life and exotic birds and beautiful to stroll through and very well maintained. All the people working here were friendly and helpful. We did the zip line one day and our guides were so much fun. The pool is beautiful and refreshing after long days hiking the National Park. It is about a 25 minute ride over pretty rough roads to get to the park )all the roads around the park are pretty rough) but Rinconcito has to be the best choice for spending multiple days at the park. The bed was very comfortable with great pillows and sheets. The balcony with hammock was perfect to relax on. Air conditioner worked very well. Breakfast was amazing every day with Gallo Pinto, eggs, fresh baked bread and pastry and fresh fruit. Evening cocktails were delicious and very reasonably priced. Dinners were fine, but didn't compare to the breakfast, and service was good. The only issue we had was that we had a very high mountain view suite (which was amazing) so it is quite a hike uphill to the room, but nothing they can do about geography. The towels were a little thin, but fine.
• Volker (10/5): - Frühstück gut,Dinner durchschnittlich
• Bernat Sempere (10/5): Hotel excelente en Rincón de la Vieja - La ubicación, el restaurante y la atención del personal. Se requiere un coche alto para acceder cómodamente al recinto.
• Jacques (9/5): Endroit fabuleux pour une retraite proche de la nature. - L’accueil à la réception, en particulier David qui a consacré du temps pour nous présenter l’hôtel et les environs. Le cadre naturel et la proximité du parc Rincón de la Vieja sont un atout pour cet établissement. Les chambres sont spacieuses et le petit déjeuner de qualité.
• Michael (9/5): - Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit schöner Anlage
• Erika (8/5): -
• Esteban (10/5): Maravilloso - Realmente todo estuvo espectacular. Todo estuvo bien
• annika (10/5): -
• Stan (7/5): - De omgeving De kamer met uitzicht op.tuin. het was donker en weinig uitzicht
• Elisa (10/5): -
• Katy (10/5): A sweet spot from - Loved the way the rooms are set on nice hillsides and the pretty gardens. Great to have a hiking trail onsite Would have liked a nicer lighting set up In the rooms - softer lighting maybe. only one of the lamps worked also
• Carlo (9/5): Wunderschön angelegte gute Anlage mit einfacher, aber ausreichend Infrastruktur und sehr netten Personal. Gute Basisstat - Tolle Anlage mit wunderschönem Garten, inmitten vom Dschungel. Gutes Restaurant und schöner Pool. Sehr holprige Naturstrassenzufahrt
• Aldo S (9/5): -
• Jan Willem (8/5): Prachtige locatie met mooie kamers - De kamers waren heel ruim en hebben een hele leuke veranda waarvandaan je perfect van de natuur kunt genieten Dat ze direct proberen je activiteiten te verkopen
• Miranda (10/5): - Muy lindo! La atención y el lugar.❤️
• Andreas (9/5): Tolle Station für den Besuch des Nationalparks - Gute Lage zu beiden Eingängen des Nationalparks Pool an zwei von drei Tagen überfüllt mit Jugendgruppen
• Eric (10/5): We loved this lodge and would like to return before too long! - Rinconcito Lodge is in a great location to access the Rincon de la Vieja park. There is also a nice walk to a small waterfall directly from the lodge. You can also arrange to take a ride on horseback, right from the lodge’s corral. Lying in the hammock on our balcony, we looked out to a lovely tree canopy which hummed with insects and birds during different parts of the day and night, confirming that we were really out in nature. Taking a dip in the pool after a hike was extremely refreshing and a very nice feature of this property. The breakfast offered a fine variety of hot and cold dishes served in a comfortable dining room with a high ceiling and picture windows that looked out to the well-maintained gardens surrounding the facility. Our dinner entrees were also well-prepared and delicious. Staff are friendly and very helpful in making suggestions as to what to see and do.
• Jenell (9/5): Nice location! - Amazing location up in the mountains away from the city, lots of trails etc nature, activities like zip lining and horseback riding as well as excursions to volcanoes. Place is always clean and restaurant food was good. Wish they had a gift shop or vending machines as it’s far away from the city.
• Sylvaine (8/5): A wonderful place to stay close to the National Park Rincón de la Vieja. - Landscaping, Flowers, pool, hiking trail and bird life. The staff was very nice! A shout out to Guana at the restaurant, José the naturalist for horse back riding, birding and National Park guide and David for tours. Internet was lacking or not consistent.
• Ivannia (9/5): Días en familia - Un lugar para relajarse Un poco distante
• Di Caro (10/5): -
• Cécile (9/5): -
• Camille (8/5): Très bon hôtel pour visiter Rincon de la Vieja - Localisé près de l'entrée Santa Maria du Parc national, l'hôtel offre un beau cadre et un personnel très accueillant. Les chambres sont propres et confortables. La marche de nuit nous a été fortement conseillée par l'agent d'accueil de l'hôtel mais elle s'est révélée très décevante. En effet, le guide marchait très vite, n'attendait pas le groupe. Il n'avait pas de connaissances sur leur biologie et ne faisait que pointer les espèces en disant (vaguement) leur nom. C'est vraiment dommage car, même si nous n'avons pas vu énormément d'espèces, ce serait toujours intéressant de partager des connaissances sur ce qui est sur d'être vu (fourmis Leaf-cutter par exemple; espèces d'arbres...)
• Jonathan (9/5): Beautiful inland property for accessing the National Park - We liked everything. The on-sight zipline tour was great for us novices. The restaurant had good food and a wide array of choices. Everyone working there was friendly and kind. The landscaping was beautiful, the pool small but adequate, and the rocking chairs and hammock outside each unit were fabulous. The location was OK, about 25 minutes drive over ROUGH roads to get to Rincon de la Vieja national park. But that was par for the course the course. Not specific to this property, but you are a little isolated to the resort you select so select carefully.
• Culmo (9/5): The stay was wonderful overall, and we will return to the property with other guests. - The property is beautiful and well maintained. The restaurant, the food, the cocktails were excellent and all staff were professional and friendly - throughout the entire experience and property. Family did the combinto tour and said it was excellent too and the guides were the best despite a language barrier. LOL the bathroom was spoiled - the sink counter had stains and the shower was less than sparkling, but I don't know that it could be cleaned without a remodel. Old stains and damage. Not uncommon for Costa Rica, but still disappointing, outdoor open sewerage.
• Jesus (10/5): Práctico y buen clima - El lugar y el clima En la reserva la realicé con dos camas dobles y cuando ingresé no comunicaron que no tenían habitaciones.
• Elina (9/5): We had a great time staying here and can totally recommend! Very thoughtfully designed and the people here are very help - How the lodges are aligned. The owned hiking trail is amazing! Nice pool. -
• Anne (9/5): Un Hôtel dans un magnifique jardin - Un très joli jardin et piscine La route pour s’y rendre est très difficile.
• Riou (8/5): -
• Rebekah (10/5): - Beautiful, clean, and quiet.
• Maya (8/5): - Room with balcony and lush vegetation Rooms were nit ready on time Front desk did not make resevation for tour as requeested,then claimed it had not been confirmed
• Robert (9/5): - Toller Blick vom Balkon auf das Tal, niemand vor uns. Schaukelstühle und Hängematte auf dem Balkon. Pina Coladas sind nicht ihre Kernkompetenz.
• chefdeville (8/5): - Le cadre, la piscine Très isolé, trop de groupes, que quelques couples, ce qui induit beaucoup de bruit dans la salle de restaurant. .Impossible d'aller dans un autre restaurant car trop lointain et difficile de conduire la nuit au Costa Rica
• Ute (9/5): Gute Lage zum Nationalpark - Für 2 Nächte eine sehr gute Unterkunft, tolles Zimmer mit Hängematte auf dem Balkon. Pool sauber, etwas zu wenig Liegen für die Anzahl an Gästen. Handtücher lagen am Pool bereit. Abendessen al Carte, etwas teurer aber sehr lecker. Viele Vögel gesehen. Frühstücksbuffet wurde immer nachgefüllt. Einige Reisegruppen waren da, hat uns aber nicht gestört...
• Elena (9/5): - Struttura molto bella immersa nella natura. Staff gentilissimo e super disponibile. Ottima la colazione a buffet con vasta scelta.
• georg (10/5): sehr schöner Kurzaufenthalt vor dem Vulkan Viejo - sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffett, toller Pool, sehr ansprechende Zimmer mit AC, sehr schöner eigener Trail am Hotel, gutes Abendessen, schöne tropische Anlage mit vielen Vögeln,
• David (9/5): Amazing experience - do the night walk in the jungle: we saw a jaguarundi stalking monkeys.! - The room was large and well equipped with rocking chairs and a hammock on the balcony. The roads to access aren't great. Best to have a Four Wheel Drive. Not sure why they haven't paved or smoothed their own driveways.
• VBER (8/5): A recommander. Lodge tres propre et confortable en pleine nature. Personnel très accueillant. - Lodge confortable en pleine nature, Propreté. Bons petits déjeuners. Possibilité de dîner sur place appréciable car aucun restaurant à proximité même si rapport qualité prix moyen. Personnel très sympathique, très bon accueil et disponibilité. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir. La possibilité de randonner au sein même du domaine. Rien excepté les tarifs un peu excessifs du restaurant.
• Heiko (5/5): Schöne Lage, schlechter Service - Schön inmitten der Natur gelegen. Kleine Wanderung zum Wasserfall empfehlenswert trotz Hitze Zimmer sehr hellhörig - jedes Wort des Zimmernachbarn gehört trotz deluxe Zimmer. Frühstück wurde versehentlich nicht mit gebucht und konnte / wollte vor Ort nicht dazu gebucht werden. Sollte dann anstatt 3$ nun 17$ p.P. Kosten…
• Jan (9/5): Gut zum Nationalpark. - Nettes Hotel in guter Nähe zum Nationalpark; freundliche Bedienung und gutes Restaurant. ./.
• Martin (7/5): Schöne Anlage in guter Lage, aber ... - Gute Lage, schöne Anlage, freundliche Mitarbeiter Das Restaurant war sehr ungemütlich. Die Anfahrt zum Parkplatz der oberen Zimmer ist unbefestigt, sehr steil und mit tiefen Schlaglöchern - ohne 4x4 mit guter Bodenfreiheit kaum zu schaffen
• Andrea (7/5): -
• James (10/5): Surprising luxery in the jungle! - Wow! We went there not expecting much of a secluded lodge in a beautiful area near the National Park. The lodge was spectacular. Modern hotel/lodge with a great room, excellent meals, friendly and helpful staff. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant and each meal was delicious. The nature trail on the property to a remote waterfall and swimming hole was a surprise. Don't let the road scare you away.
• Charity (10/5): - Pictures don't do this place justice! Beautiful property, clean rooms, fast wifi, amazing breakfast and restaurant on property, and friendly staff/easy check in process. Quiet with comfortable beds! Close to the National Park, too! Great hammocks/pool/hiking trail as well!
• Ed (8/5): -
• Katerina (10/5): Amazing chalet in a jungle garden, comfy, clean and relaxing - Beautiful chaler type accommodation with terrace and hammovk, in lovely big garden, with clean nice pool. Friendly helpful staff, good breakfast. Birds singing. Quiet relaxing place close to Rincon National park.
• Karine (9/5): -
• Joelle (9/5): Très bel endroit et bon service - Très beau décor- bon service!
• Dwayne (8/5): Worth a look—nice staff - Staff were extremely helpful and most spoke very good English. Lodge setup was nice. Beds were comfortable. WiFi worked well. Horseback riding was fun—90 min for about $80/pp. Food at the restaurant was good. About 20 min to the National Park. The roads are no joke—recommend a jeep or 4x4. Would pass on the night walk—$30/pp—didn’t see much. Hot water heater went out, but they moved us to a better room.
• Liron (9/5): -
• georg (10/5): toller Kurzaufenthalt - schöne, abseits gelegene Lodge auf dem Weg zum Vulkan Ricon, sehr schöne Garten und Poolanlage, ausgezeichnetes Frühstücksbuffett, sehr gutes Dinner, alles super
• natalie (9/5): -
• Jérôme (10/5): -
• Bruno Dulce (10/5): - Hotel muito bonito. Ótimo para quem vai conhecer o parque rincon de la vieja. A estrada para a subida dos quartos merece uma atencao. Havia lixo na lixeira do hóspede anterior . Nada que atrapalhou nossa estadia.
• Anja (8/5): -
• LEDUC (8/5): - Très belle chambre et personnel très sympathique. Le prix du petit-déjeuner est excessif (18$/pers).
• S22TS (10/5): - Sehr schöne weitläufige Anlage, das Zimmer war sehr groß und hatte als eines der wenigen bisher genügend Ablagemöglichkeiten. Frühstück als Buffet war völlig ausreichend. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Touren im benachbarten NP Rincon de la Vieja. Es gibt sicher Leute, die es nicht ertragen können, wenn sich ein paar Ameisen ins Zimmer verirren. Ich finde, damit muss man in der Natur leben, Gifteinsatz wäre viel schlimmer. Im Nationalpark ist Insektenschutz dringend erforderlich, hat bei mir leider kaum gewirkt.
• David (8/5): Jungle hotel. An adventure just to arrive in one piece. - Great location The staff were ‘difficult’, especially the receptionist. We had to wait a long time to access the room.
• natalie (9/5): -
• Joachim (9/5): Empfehlenswert - Sehr nette Lodge, sehr gutes Personal, hervorragendes Frühstück, gutes Abendessen, kurzer Transfer zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Alles gut
• Liliana patricia (7/5): -
• Marjolaine (7/5): The site is awesome but you have to stay at least 3 nights . - Space of the property . Too isolated and the roads are very bad.
• Murphy (10/5): - The horseback riding in the zip line was absolutely amazing not to mention the property was well kept the pool was clean and everything was awesome
• Silke (9/5): - Nettes hilfsbereites Personal. Schöne Anlage.
• Katherine (8/5): - La zona en la que está ubicado es muy fresco La cómoda estuvo muy buena Que la bebida de cortesía que nos dieron, la entregaron en puerta del restaurante, porque lo tenían listo para la cena
• Maria (9/5): - Zimmer war sehr hübsch. Großes Bett. Auch nette Aussicht ins Grüne. Bergblick ist nicht so ganz richtig. Zufahrt zum Parkplatz ist schwierig. Sehr ausgewaschen.
• Marjolaine (8/5): Nice property but too far away from Liberia. - I liked everything about the property . It’s too isolated . And the route is so bad.
• Jordan (10/5): Excellent will definitely stay again. - Liked everything, the road to the new parking lot was a little rough but that’s because it’s a new parking lot and haven’t completed the road yet. Was an excellent stay and will definitely come again. Staff was great, breakfast great and dinner was great with excellent pricing. There is nothing that I did not like.
• camille (9/5): Séjour sympathique - Chambre pour 4 (en famille) agréable avec transat sur la terrasse, et très jolie piscine. Petit sentier qui mène à une petite cascade où se baigner Route d'accès un peu difficile et salle de bain un peu petite
• Hellen Arelis (10/5): Vista a volcán Rincón de la Vieja - La habitación era muy espaciosa y tenía un balconcito con hamaca y mesita para estar ahí El desayuno es poco variado para el precio
• Roger (8/5): Enjoyed it in the rain ! - Hammocks and birds Only one glass. Didn’t re-stock fridge.
• Sabine (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft in aussergewöhnlicher Lage. - Fantastischer Ausblick. Tolles, grosses, komfortables Zimmer. Ein extrem bequemes Bett. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
• Theo (9/5): -
• Twesha (10/5): - The hammocks were the best thing about this property. It was just so peaceful
• Danilo (10/5): Excelente. - Tudo ótimo! Quarto e banheiro espaçosos, confortáveis e limpos. Da varanda se tem uma bela vista e os funcionários foram todos gentis e solícitos. O café da manhã é self-service e atende bem. Nada. Tudo ótimo!
• patrick (8/5): -
• Tessa (8/5): -
• Rodríguez Jiménez (5/5): - Great surroundings and nature. Breakfast was terrible and you have to pay $17
• Cornelia (8/5): Super Unterkunft! Vorallem die Hängematte! - Perfekt für einen Besuch im Nationalpark!
• Geannina (7/5): Un rincón verde - Ambiente tranquilo lleno de naturaleza donde se respira paz, las instalaciones están en buen estado y los servicios que ofrecen son variados como canopy, tour en caballo, entre otros. La comida que ofrece el restaurante es fresca y deliciosa. Aportar menú aparte del precio buffet que cobran en el desayuno.
• Mirjam (8/5): -
• Lloyd (1/5): - Horrible - don’t stay there
• Alexandre (9/5): Away from everything - Well located, beautiful surroundings
• James (8/5): Outstanding Lodge Staff, but Paper Thin Walls - 5 stars to the front desk, restaurant and housekeeping staff and their managers...all welcoming, polite, helpful and professional. Loved the private balcony hammock and large shower space. Breakfast was good, and dinner options even better (and affordable!). We loved the naturales juice mixes, ceviche, Latin style pizza and fish plates. Pool was lovely and very clean. The easy hiking trail past waterfalls was a pleasure, and appreciated the excellent large ceiling fan in the bedroom (we never needed AC). Great views of the forest as well! Not really the lodge's fault but we were in room 311 and a family with screaming children and even noisier wife were placed in room 310. We woke up to the wife speaking loudly at 6am on the phone. The children were truly out of control. Bad parenting. We knocked on the wall. No change. I confronted the husband directly...he was oblivious. Clearly didn't care that they shared a thin wall with others. Be aware at this property: you can hear EVERYTHING that happens next door to you, every burp, every fart. Other more minor concerns were towels not prepared in advance at the pool mid-day. We also noticed too many large and small plates vanishing at breakfast, not being replaced.
• Pavla (10/5): Nádherné místo - Veliký pokoj Výborná restaurace krásné umístění hotelového komplexu na samotě, kousek od národního parku Rincon de la Vieja úžasná pohodlná hamaka na terase u pokoje Kousek od našeho pokoje bylo odvětrání z kuchyně, takže se v době snídaní a večeří nedalo moc pobývat na krásné terase a musela být zavřená okna. Ale to se týkalo jen pokojů v domečku u restaurace č. pokojů 317 - 319.
• EkaterinaKolchina (4/5): -
• Lainie (10/5): Rinconcito and tour with José were the highlights of our trip to CR - the first time we felt a bit away from massive tou - We loved rinconcito lodge and greatly preferred it over guachililpin (and it was less than half the price!). Nice spacious room, great food, beautiful gardens. We did the full day Santa Maria via horse tour with jose and it was amazing. Our best day in costa rica. The lodge felt authentic and less touristy than other areas in Costa Rica. Santa Maria sector has beautiful waterfalls and hot springs and unlike Pailas which was packed with people, we saw almost no one all day.
• Karla Vanessa (9/5): - Las habitaciones muy cómodas, limpias y las actividades como canopy, monta a caballo y caminata hacia la poza del lugar fue bien aprovechado. Que a la llegada nos estaban cobrando extra de las mascotas. Deberían incluir en la cotización inicial el o los montos
• Pablo (6/5): - Tranquilite Le prix du buffet de Noël était trop élevé pour la qualité de la nourrir
• Wolfgang (4/5): Na ja. - Anstelle des gebuchten Zimmers mit 2 Doppelbetten wollten sie uns ein Zimmer mit nur einem Doppelbett gegeben. Erst nach längerer Diskussion bekamen wir das gebuchte (und bezahlte) Zimmer mit 2 Doppelbetten. Dort gab es kein fließendes Wasser und ich musste mehrmals reklamieren bis dann nachts um 10 Uhr das Wasser endlich funktionierte. Im Restaurant haben wir über 1 Stunde auf das Essen gewartet. Auch hier musste ich 2 mal nachfragen, bis das Essen endlich kam. Und das war dann auch nicht gerade gut.
• Vita (8/5): Nice lodge in good location, restaurant service extremely slow - Lodge is lovely, has a short walking trail. Great location - close to national park and Rio Negra hot springs The service at the restaurant was extremely slow. It was understandable to wait 40 min during dinner because the place was full. However, waiting for over an hour for late lunch, when only 1 more table was occupied was ridiculous. We barely made our flight.
