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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had a lovely stay here while we were exploring Monteverde. The food here was wonderful - one of the best dinners that we had in Costa Rica. We spent one of our mornings sitting outside on our balcony watching the birds. The general manager and front desk staff were attentive and helpful. We saw some sleeping birds and a porcupine on our night hike. Would absolutely recommend staying here for a quiet couple of days.

Valle Escondido was the perfect place for us to stay for our venture to the Monteverde. The grounds are fantastic to hike and explore. Provided a great place to base our week stay in Monteverde. Staff was very helpful with all of our questions and provided assistance in determining and making arrangements for exploration and birding the area

The setting was beautiful. The staff on reception were welcoming. No welcome drink was provided. The accommodation was basic. The food was poor at breakfast. We ordered a salad and fajitas, the amount was very small and over priced and in fact gave my partner food poisoning. The walks are closed after 4.30 to allow for the night walks which you have to pay extra for.

Valle Escondido is an ecologically thoughtful, guest-orientated haven for anyone looking to relax, rejuvenate, and experience the Cloud Forest in the best way possible. The farm to table food is exquisite, creative, and delicious. The service in every aspect from the reception, to the servers, permaculture guide, and maintenance staff are caring, professional and add a personal touch to your stay. My mom and I stayed 5 days here and wanted to stay longer. Where else can you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner overlooking a stunning vista of rainbows, sunsets, ocean, and mountains?

What a unique place! We really enjoyed our stay there. The grounds were beautiful. We did a lot of sightseeing and hiking. The sunsets from the 2nd floor restaurant during happy hour are beyond compare! Special thanks to Sian who was so friendly and informative! Also, big thank you for arranging with one of our tours to get a left behind clothing item back for me! Drinks were so good! The pizza was delicious! Our breakfast every morning was also very good. The staff is amazing. We really enjoyed our stay.

What a beautiful location and view! The architecture is very unique and the rooms were lovely. Great breakfast, restaurant on site, happy hour, walking trails. Monteverde Cloud Forest close by. Excellent staff and service. Would definitely recommend. Just make sure you take the better road from Liberia!

Highly recommend this hotel to stay in Monteverde. The rooms are basic - we had a family room, large with a double bed and bunk beds, a little dated in some aspects. But breakfast was delicious with amazing views over the valley. The kids loved playing on the lawns, and the trails were fantastic to spot wildlife and relax in the hammock garden. We did a night trek, with a lovely guide and saw loads of wildlife.

Valle Escondido is pure magic! The grounds are amazing and offer hiking trails, beautiful vistas, a hammock garden and even a waterfall. Weather is pleasant with plenty of sunshine during the day and cooler temperatures at night. We enjoyed the farm-to-table experience and the focus on sustainability. The wood-fired pizzas were so tasty and the breakfast options (included) were amazing. The staff could not have been any nicer or more helpful from the groundskeepers to the general manager. This is a place that I definitely recommend and am already planning to return to.

Requested a new room as ours was next to front desk and bathroom shower was not walled in so water went everywhere and a slip and fall hazard. we had to throw towels down everyday to collect water. Very loud rooms. Only good thing was the girl from England at the front desk. She was a joy. She was not the rude one who would not move our room. The grounds are beautiful but the night tour was a joke. Heres some Ants working. Really? We saw one snake but really expected more.

Nice location, but I could not believe that reception refused to put our (stamped) postcards in the mail. Never, ever and nowhere in the entire world have I gotten such denial or refusal of basic service... "you need to go to the post office in town"...
