What guests think

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

At Hotel Nepenthe B&B, travellers highlight stunning Lake Arenal and volcano views and a quiet, nature-immersed setting, while repeatedly warning that the steep, unpaved access road is very rough and best tackled with a high-clearance 4x4 vehicle.

Very good, the best experience in Costa Rica trip. Heaven. The road to hotel is rocky. Scenic. Bird watching. Toucans.

Very large rooms with comfortable beds and awesome views. Not a lot of hot water in showers so best to keep them short. Great restaurant for breakfast and really really good pizza

Room was great, very clean with excellent views. We awoke each morning to the sound of several different birds and even saw Toucans. Jose gave us a great recommendation for lunch upon our departure. Only downside was the road up is rough (we used 4wheel drive).

I stayed there in November, and the views completely won me over. The hotel is in a fairly rural area, and the road going uphill is quite rough, so having a 4×4 with high clearance is definitely recommended. My room was small and not soundproof, so you can hear your neighbors and the office. It also absorbed a noticeable fuel-oil smell from the nearby parking area or building, which took away from the otherwise beautiful natural surroundings. The views on the lake and a huge variety of birds outside are amazing.
