“Rooms are Super Clean- Jose is Awesome!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 via mobile

Jose makes you fell at home the moment you arrive. He will go out of his way to make you feel comfortable. The rooms itself is very basic, very clean, and rustic- hence the rustic lodge. The location of this place is great, it's about a 10 stroll to town of Santa Elena. Cute town with the basics. Eat at Sabor Tico, it's awesome and very affordable. It's literally a minute walk from the rustic lodge. breakfast at the lodge is coffee, fruit plate, and something hot- we had eggs one day, pancakes the next. This hotel is a great value and Jose is Awesome!! Also a plus, free wifi in the lodge

“Great!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

My husband and I stayed in Room 4. Very nice room for the money. Clean and a great bathroom. The owners weve very helpful answering all our questions about the area and gave us some tips on places to eat. One place was Sabor Tico, we had the best meal and probably the most reasonably priced food in all of Costa Rica. Would definately stay here again.

Room Tip: I don't think there is a bad room here

“Great place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Excellent value, excellent staff (nothing is too much trouble for Jose, ask him for the tea made out of the flowers in the garden) and a loveley, huge and incredibly clean and pretty room. We even saw a sloth when we were there. Can also recommend the massage!

Room Tip: I don't think there is a bad one!

“A great place to stay in Monteverde”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

The lodge is a lovely place to stay. The rooms are large and comfortable, the breakfasts are fantastic (fabulous fresh fruit and a full breakfast every morning), the best coffee we had in the whole country, and to top it off, a warm and welcoming staff. Jose is incredibly pleasant and helps in any way he can. The other staff are also great. It was a perfect home base for the day and night excursions to the forests.

“Ritz service at mom and pop prices”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

My husband and I stayed here for three nights. It was the best value of our trip. Reasonably priced,spotless rooms,and someone who could be the nicest man on earth as the innkeeper. Jose is great. He never gave us a wrong suggestion on where to eat or on a guided trip. He made reservations for us. This place is a great find...and he has many signs in the Monteverde area that help you locate the lodge. Our room in the front of the lodge had a great bathroom.

Room Tip: The second floor room in front has a great bathroom
