Needs new pillows and mattresses
The staff, breakfast, and location were great, and the nearby capuchin monkeys and wildlife were delightful. But… a hotel has one main job to do: provide a comfortable bed and pillow for a good night’s rest. Our three-night stay wasn’t great. Bed and pillows didn’t cut it. We liked the help with getting transportation and an excursion to the Cloud Forest Reserve, but we were always dreading the night’s sleep. If you’re going to drive all the way to Monteverde, stay somewhere more comfortable.

The lodge was initially hard to find as it is called El Bosque Hotel not Eco Lodge on signage out front. The staff were friendly and welcoming and they use WhatsApp to communicate which was helpful. We are a family of 4, 2 kids, 2 adults so we had a large room with 4 beds which was nice but there was no place to store any of our belongings— one desk and 2 small night stands only, a shelf or dresser would be helpful. The included breakfast was good. My only complaint about it is that it is from 630-830 and we slept until 8 a couple days (we are on vacation and from an earlier time zone) and then missed it. We did do a hike from the property which was nice and saw monkeys outside our room— super cool! Overall a nice stay!

Unpleasant experience
The room was very moist without any air conditioning. All the beddings feel wet. Especially at night it was so cold and uncomfortable. At checkout the owner took my credit card, write down the info instead of just charge it directly. I thought it was strange. So the charge came after I left the place and i noticed i was charged extra! I had to try to get a hold of the owner to correct the amount. Though it was corrected this was unnecessary stress for my trip. Would not recommend!

One night
Joshua did our check in and a big thank to him. He organized everything for us in a short time so that we were able to do all the activities we wanted in one afternoon. Really really much appreciated. A part from the lovely welcome, the hotel is simple but really nice and clean. It really feels like being a ranch and we appreciated our stay

Belle e spaziose cabine di legno con doccia calda e wifi dove si può avere molta privacy. L'hotel ha una sua rete di sentieri che partono dietro alle cabinr, ma la mappa fornita alla reception non sempre corrisponde.

Nice place outside of town
The property is really nice but there is no reception area so the check in is at the restaurant and took a long time. The bed I slept in in the family room was not very comfortable but it worked.

Immerso nel bosco. Da qui partono i tour nella giungla di notte. Staff super cordiale. Bungalow molto carini dall'esterno, essenziali all'interno. Colazione più che discreta con frutta, uova, gallo pinto, toast. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo

Loved the location for 2 major reasons: 1. On a preserve with multiple hiking trails that lead to a creek. We saw monkeys, birds, agounti, etc just by walking out our door! 2. The restaurant Tramonti associated with property is the best food we had in Costa Rica. We went there 2 nights in a row!

Prisvärt budgethotell i ett skönt naturområde
Hotellet ligger i ett fint naturområde, bara 10 minuter med bil till Cloud Forest nationalpark. Rummen är spartanskt inredda. Frukosten är enkel, men god. Mycket hjälpsam personal. Det var dock ganska svårt att hitta dit. Det som drog ner betyget var att det var väldigt kallt på rummet på nätterna och att trycket i duschen var dåligt.

The hotel is in a great location. The rooms are clean and authentic except for the spiders but they are part of the experience. The showers have no water pressure and are not always warm. The staff is wonderful. It’s a very peaceful place to stay. The breakfast is traditional and delicious.
