Nice,very clean, and spacious rooms. Heiner and Ana are wonderful, and very, very helpful, and had excellent recommendations for tours and restaurants. Couldn't be happier! Had a laundry done there at a very resonable price. Make sure to ask Heiner about a bird watching tour with Freddy. We stayed at some much more expensive and luxurious places in Costa Rica,... More

We contacted Heiner as Villa Lodge was number one on tripadvisor. Unfortunately the advertised rooms were booked, but he offered us an 'economic room', at a cheaper price. The room was fine - clean with private bathroom - we didn't want or need anything more, so we were very happy with the cheaper price! Heiner is very friendly and attentive.... More

My boyfriend and I spent one night at the Villa Lodge, and we wish we could have had more time. Heiner and his wife were awesome, they helped us book tours and recommended the best places to eat in town; they made us delicious coffee in the afternoon and we loved our breakfast. If we ever go back to Monteverde... More

We like being slighyly outside the hubbub of towns so we get a less touristy experience. This place was perfect for us, about a 5-minute walk to the main part of town, so we could experience quiet and feel like we were a bit more amongst Costa Ricans. From the arrival we felt perfectly taken care of. Heiner was a... More

Small family run lodge with excellent attention to customer service. Ana and Heiner are gracious hosts, making you instantly feel welcome and comfortable. The lodge is close to town and quiet. Breakfast was yummy. Heiner was very helpful with information and directions to activities / restaurants. The rooms were large and spotless. More

We stayed at the lodge for one night and wished we could have stayed longer! As others have described in their reviews, our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed both Ana and Hinzer. Both were very helpful in providing directions and information. They are both very warm, kind people. Breakfast was cooked to order and one... More

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We didn't stay in the area for very long, but it was all we needed. Close to town, good breakfast, quiet location, clean rooms, and friendly service. Well worth the cost, and a good, inexpensive cost at that! More

This place was a great place to stay while in Monteverde. Both Ana, Heiner and their little boy were very friendly and helpful. Ana was great for providing hot coffee and cookies when getting back from tours! The breakfasts were good and the hotel is a short walk from town so very easy to wander into the village for dinner.... More

A very short cab ride away from the rainforest park this place is the bargain of this area! Close enough into town for an easy walk for evening eats. The rooms are clean, spacious and accomodating. The owner family literally bend over backwards to accomodate and breakfast is a real treat. Free computer usage in the reception area and always... More

Without a doubt this was the best place we stayed in Costa Rica from the standpoint of how we were treated. We felt like an old friend returning for a visit. Both Heiner and Ana were extremely friendly and were always there to assist with advice or to arrange anything we needed. Imagine the owner of a Hotel coming to... More
