Ein bisschen überteuert für das was man bekommt. Die Unterkunft ist sehr einfach eingerichtet. Das Konzept der Dusch/Badewanne haben wir nicht verstanden. Beim Duschen kann einem das ganze Tal zugucken und zum Baden braucht man seeehr viel Geduld bis sich die xxl Badewanne auch nur halbwegs mit warmem Wasser gefüllt hat. Die Anfahrt ist relativ schwierig und sollte bei Tageslicht erfolgen. Das Frühstück wird im 300 m entfernten Restaurant serviert. Es gibt einen schönen Wanderweg dorthin. Oder man läuft auf der Hauptstrasse. Insgesamt war die Unterkunft schön, aber mit 85 dollar überteuert. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mari 29 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owners were very nice.

Great view and a terrific staff. There isn’t much sound insulation and we had a few maintenance issues that were fixed immediately. WiFi worked best near office (units 1-3) and lesser for ours (7-10). Worst part was waiting for the breakfast at 8am (too late for us). Same meal each day. It is cool there. We enjoyed it overall. We loved exploring the area (waterfalls all over).

However, the location on Expedia is a bit off, it's about 2km further south, at 10°09'53.5"N, 84°18'59.8"W. The road where Expedia shows the hotel is actually currently closed. While 2km might not sound like much, it's 2km of mountain road that's not in the best condition (the same road leads to Bajos del Toro). Also, you may see signs that route 708 is closed, but it is not, and much nicer to drive on than the alternative route. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### katherine 7 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### A little rustic but beautiful views The owner was very hospitable. Not so good at English but put a lot of effort into making sure we understood what he was saying. View was gorgeous (somewhat cloudy up high). The room itself was interesting. Floors were thin so the cold air from the wind went thru them..metal roof was also super noisy at night, but maybe just bad weather. No hot water. No wifi in room. Restaurant was great. Our host there spoke much better English and the view there was great as well. ##### katherine Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annie 21 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Muy bonito y buena atención ##### Annie Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Emilio 18 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ideal para descansar Para descansar es un lugar ideal.

The windows didnt really block out the cold wind, and in the mornings there were no electricity. The staff and everybody at the restaurant are really very friendly, eventough we cant really speak or understand alot of spanish and they dont speak or understand english we found a way to communicate and they were very accommodating ##### Melissa Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### valeria 28 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort El lugar y la atención son excelentes, un buen lugar para pasar un tiempo en contacto con la naturaleza ##### valeria Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry 21 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Away from the noise and hustle bustle If you want isolation away from the city you find it here. Just off the Divide it is windy and chilly at night. Pack accordingly. Staff is first rate. ##### Jerry Verified ### 8/10 Good #### C 17 Mar 2017 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Don't expect high-end luxury, but... It is well worth the excellent price. Yes, it is a bit rustic. No internet or phones in rooms, that's ok, go to the office. There are high winds every night so expect it to be loud, plus this is a wood structure and like many in Costa Rica it's poorly insulated. It was very cold, bring warm clothes to sleep in, there's no heat, not even a fire place. And it's a metal roof, expect it to be loud with the winds dropping things from trees. The hot water is a bit tricky but they will show you how it works. And there are no shower curtains (and huge windows), but I assure you the birds don't care if you're naked. Eat at the restaurant, like the hotel the staff is very sweet and helpful. And the food is delicious. Plus the view is heavenly. Jorge (at the hotel) is a wonderful man. He made us an itinerary of what to do in the area. And we're so glad we listened to him. He even told us what time to go to church as that's important to us and he gave us a choice of two beautiful churches in two cities. Thankfully we're Catholic so we had many choices. Do not expect to speak English, this is a remote area. Learn Spanish before you go! But do go. It's very peaceful and we thought we'd hate it when we first arrived. We ended up loving it. Stayed 3 nights. It was very well worth the price. I'd not get a place that cheap in the US with that view. ##### C Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Grant 13 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Beautiful mountain setting. The nights can be very cold and there is no heat in the rooms. The wind blew through the walls, windows and floor. During the day it was a beautiful spot. On a cold blustery night it was as cold in the room as it was outdoors. ##### Grant Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Rudy 9 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente hotel de montaña, recomendado Muy bonito, excelente ubicación y magnifica vista.
