At Monteverde Villa Lodge, travelers describe simple cabin style rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and a walkable yet tucked away location near Santa Elena, creating a good value base for exploring Monteverde, with breakfast frequently praised for starting the day.
Rooms are often spacious and comfortable with a rustic, treehouse feel, though several note they are basic and can be on the darker side. Common drawbacks include lack of air conditioning and intermittent hot water in some bathrooms. Guests also mention strong winds and occasional noise from town or neighboring properties. Overall, expect a clean, good-value base for exploring rather than a luxury stay.

Staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was great. However the room were a bit of a dissapointment. The tv was dated and very poor reception. We could not connect our amazon fire stick on rainy nights as old tv model. No complimentary teas or coffees in the room after a tiring day at Park. The room was very dark and dull especially as lights were dull and never brightened up. The hot water ran out quickly so the last two out of four in room certainly had cold showers not nice after a rain shocked time there.

We stayed for 3 nights in one of the bungalows on the property. The bungalow was very clean and was equipped with microwave and fridge and sink. All the beds were in 1 room which worked well for our family(4). Small sitting area just outside the bungalow as well as a larger common patio outside the main reception to enjoy the garden area. Nice inside area where we enjoyed a great breakfast every morning. Anna at reception was very friendly and provided good information/could arrange a variety of tour options. Location only a short walk into Santa Elena town centre. Thanks again Monteverde villa lodge!

Lovely staff and really well kept, if admittedly spartan, facilities. The breakfasts are great and the location is within easy walking distance of one of the town's best sodas. The staff are excellent at managing expeditions and tours as well. Finally, while the bed was small and the hot water did flicker, the room held a real charm to it nestled among the trees. A good place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Lodge and I would recommend it to any friends going to this area! The grounds are beautiful and clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. The location was great! Tucked in a quiet spot away from traffic but in walking distance of all the town restaurants and shops. Karen at the front desk was wonderful at helping us book our excursions and fun to chat with as well. Breakfast was delicious and served in such a welcoming, friendly style.

Our little cabin was a great base for my 2 kids and I to explore Monteverde. Beds were very comfortable (but helpful to have earplugs for the fierce winds at night!) and breakfast was delicious. The property is beautiful and well-maintained. Since we had rented a car, it was nice to stay somewhere with convenient parking for coming in and out while also being within easy walking distance of town.

This was a cute little place to stay. We stayed in room 7 which was tucked in the back and felt like our own little place. My kids liked that there was 3 beds so they didnt have to share. The property has a nice little sitting area that would be a nice area to have a meal so sit out after adventures. The place is in a area that easy to walk to the "town center". The staff was nice and the breakfast was yummy. We had a choice of pancakes and fruit or the typical gallo pinto and fruit.

It was fine as a base for exploring Monteverde and surrounds. Staff were super helpful with booking tours so we didn't have to think about any of that. Room was a bit dated and dark but ok for the price. Breakfast was ok, not amazing but fine. Location is good and you can walk into San Elena. A good option so long as you are out and about all day and not planning on spending too much time at the hotel.

Although not a far walk from the centre it had lovely feel of a jungle cabin mainly due to wooden interior. This made room quite dark but what you would expect in a jungle. Saw a Toucan a few feet away on the balcony. Breakfast very good. Stayed two nights.

The staff and grounds were very nice. The rooms were very spacious and well done. My only complaint was the bathroom. The shower floor was too slippery. The wrong type of tile was used. The soap was too far from the shower so one had to cross the slippery floor to get it. There was only one small light 10 feet up in the bathroom.

Walkable to a lot of things in Monteverde. Right next to gym that does a cheaper walk in rate. You can set up all adventure’s/tour’s with front desk and pickup was always on time right at front of hotel. Room was very clean with comfortable beds. Rain at night put us right to sleep. They also had a cute hotel dog that was as chill as can be. Highly recommend.

I don’t usually write reviews and certainly don’t gush like this, but they couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Modest property and no fancy place, but clean and safe and the staff makes it five star.

Our little cabin was a great base for my 2 kids and I to explore Monteverde. Beds were very comfortable (but helpful to have earplugs for the fierce winds at night!) and breakfast was delicious. The property is beautiful and well-maintained. Since we had rented a car, it was nice to stay somewhere with convenient parking for coming in and out while also being within easy walking distance of town.

We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Lodge and I would recommend it to any friends going to this area! The grounds are beautiful and clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. The location was great! Tucked in a quiet spot away from traffic but in walking distance of all the town restaurants and shops. Karen at the front desk was wonderful at helping us book our excursions and fun to chat with as well. Breakfast was delicious and served in such a welcoming, friendly style.

Perfect place to stay in Monteverde. Easy check in/out with great recommendations on what to do in the area and where to eat. Breakfast included was always good. Walkable to a lot of things in Monteverde. Right next to gym that does a cheaper walk in rate. You can set up all adventure’s/tour’s with front desk and pickup was always on time right at front of hotel. Room was very clean with comfortable beds. Rain at night put us right to sleep. They also had a cute hotel dog that was as chill as can be. Highly recommend.

We stayed for 3 nights in one of the bungalows on the property. The bungalow was very clean and was equipped with microwave and fridge and sink. All the beds were in 1 room which worked well for our family(4). Small sitting area just outside the bungalow as well as a larger common patio outside the main reception to enjoy the garden area. Nice inside area where we enjoyed a great breakfast every morning. Anna at reception was very friendly and provided good information/could arrange a variety of tour options. Location only a short walk into Santa Elena town centre. Thanks again Monteverde villa lodge!

Lovely staff and really well kept, if admittedly spartan, facilities. The breakfasts are great and the location is within easy walking distance of one of the town's best sodas. The staff are excellent at managing expeditions and tours as well. Finally, while the bed was small and the hot water did flicker, the room held a real charm to it nestled among the trees. A good place to stay.

The staff helped us plan activities for the day, as well as help us get transportation to those activities. Our room was also cleaned once a day, and we were given fresh towels after each cleaning. The property was also very beautiful and well kept.
