Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Receptionist friendly and efficient. Checkin was quick and easy. Room was clean, furnishings fine. Access to second floor room was a ramp, not stairs. Complimentary breakfast was very good. First course of fruit, coffee, tea, juice. Second course of eggs, pancakes, toast. Hotel site was well removed from downtown nightlife noise, for those who prefer quiet. Onsite parking was ample.

We stayed for two nights in January. This hotel is perfect for anyone visiting Monteverde. Its a family hotel, setting a serviceminded and very helpful tone. The rooms are nice and clean and had everything we needed for the stay. A good breakfast is served in the hotel, but for other meals you have to walk a couple of hundred meters or 10 minutes if you want to go to the center of the town,

This was a hidden gem of a hotel. Great value for money and in a great location for cloud forest and night tours. The staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us in terms of our trips. Only a short walk from the town and restaurants. The room was very spacious (a little basic but clean and cosy) right in the middle of a forest surrounded by birds and wildlife. The hotel provided a lovely breakfast of fresh fruit and juice as well as other hot options. My only slight criticism was that while the room was lovely there was no safe provided for valuables. Otherwise if I come back to Monteverde I would definitely return.

We were a family of five and we booked two rooms which were adjacent to one another. Karen at the reception was very helpful and accommodating and even showed us the all the available rooms so we can pick what we want. And for our first night, she booked our night tour. The rooms are rustic and clean. There's a fridge and a microwave (good for reheating those Pollolandia leftovers) Our two rooms didn't have AC but it was cold anyway you wouldn't need it. The Santa Elena town proper is a 10-minute walk and offers lots of restaurants and even some nightlife. You will fall in love with Bobbi,the resident dog. And that's the best reason to stay at Monteverde Villa Lodge.

Stayed here for 2 nights on Family trip. Rooms were very clean and a very good size. Each room had a fridge and one room also had a microwave. Plenty of hot water and pleasant service. Lovely breakfast in the morning = they even accommodated an early breakfast on one morning when we had an early tour booked - so helpful. Also got our wahsing done here. A few restaurants nearby (especially Restaurante Parrillero Monteverde) and lots of food choices about 15 min walk away in main town area.

A great place to stay to explore the Monteverde area. The staff were super helpful both leading up to our stay and whilst there, helping to book transport and activities. A lovely experience staying here and especially loved the breakfast each morning, highly recommend!!

This is a small family business and as soon as I checked in I felt a warm welcome. I was offered tea, coffee or juice while I waited for my room. The family was kind and helpful. The room I was given felt rustic and was surrounded by trees. The beds were fairly comfortable and it was walking distance to town (10 mins or less). The front desk even arranged for me to do a night tour myself and when I was walking to town for dinner, they even offered me a ride there. They gave me a wooden key chain souvenir when I left, which I thought was very warm as well. The breakfast was outstanding as they offered a variety of fruit, toast, eggs etc. along with coffee, tea juice. Notably, Monteverde was cold and rained heavily the entire time I was there. The room felt cold and there was no way to heat it but I suspect this is the same all over the entire town.

A really nice little gem hidden away amongst the trees. The rooms are smallish, but have everything that you need. The breakfast is really nice with a choice of different things, as a vegan, I easily ate. This place has a lovely patio/ decked area, which is really nice in the evenings. It’s in easy reach of the small town and all its amenities, we rode horses here, zip lined and did a night walk. The lady running this place is a total sweetheart. I’d recommend to stay here, as it’s away from the main town itself, so it’s quieter.

We stayed for 3 nights at Monteverde villa lodge hotel in a family room which was perfect for us and our three children. The room was super clean and the kitchenette with microwave and fridge very handy. The big floor to ceiling glass windows (with curtains to pull at night) were beautiful looking out on the vegetation in the beautiful gardens. The staff at the hotel was wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast was from 06.30 so you could eat even if you were booked on an early tour and it was very tasty with fresh fruit, juice, coffee, hot chocolate and s choice of eggs, toast and pancakes. For 6USD per kg you could also leave laundry there in the morning and in the afternoon it was all done. For dinner we walked into Santa Elena, an easy 10 minute walk to the main center and supermarket, very safe too. Karen at reception was super helpful too, helping us organizing our tours - we were with 3 children and found that sky adventures was a great and safe canopying experience for everyone ! Can definitely recommend this wonderful family owned business and would stay there again !

Anna and all of the staff were so welcoming. They helped to set up a night hike for us and gave directions and recommendations to restaurants. We used the laundry service and really enjoyed the included breakfast (gallo pinto, eggs, fresh fruit, plantains, juice/coffee/tea …yum!!). The rooms can accommodate larger families (ours has five) and have a kitchenette. The shower had fantastic water pressure too!!
