Couldn't imagine a more perfect "almost treehouse" with a view in the rainforest!

10.0

We absolutely loved this house. The location felt private and like a treehouse in the rainforest with huge windows and open space! We could sit on the porch and watch for birds, listen to the monkeys in the distance and saw several white nose coatis! Daniela took very good care of us and greeted us with a lovely loaf of banana bread which felt very special. The breakfast was delicious and we loved that you could order in advance and make a timed reservation for it. We also loved the obvious detail and care of the home with loads of unique furniture.

Très belle maison, mais un rapport qualité-prix qui reste élevé.

9.0

L’hôtel est très bien équipé, avec une magnifique vue, de grands espaces, une chambre spacieuse et une belle salle de bain. Tout le nécessaire pour la douche était fourni. Le grand plus : la présence d’une machine à laver et d’un sèche-linge, très pratique dans cette région, avec en plus les produits pour laver le linge.

Nous étions 8 personnes mais il n’y avait que 6 fourchettes. Le matériel de cuisine était un peu limité et la vaisselle adaptée pour 8 personnes serait un vrai plus.

Spennende hus med nydelig utsikt

7.0

Et fantastisk hus, originalt og gjennomtenkt. God beliggenhet. Nydelig utsikt. Flott uteplass. Alt fungerte. Helt greit kjøkken å lage mat på. Rent. Hjelpsom og vennlig vert. Monteverde er nydelig!

Vi syntes det var kaldt, særlig om morgenen (det var gode tepper til natten) enda vi hadde innesko og ganske varme klær. Det er jo veldig fuktig så det bidro nok til opplevelsen av lav temperatur. Veien til huset er humpete, det var greit for oss men ok å være obs på.

Exceptionally relaxing stay in a beautifully maintained property, thanks to the host

10.0

Daniela is an exceptional host. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Daniela personally greeted us at the house upon check-in and provided a thorough orientation. The house was impeccably clean and situated in a very convenient location. We were delighted to observe monkeys, white-tailed coatis, and a diverse array of bird species right from the property.

There was a minor issue with the credit card on file for the reservation being inaccessible to the host due to Booking.com's system However, Daniela was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She graciously held onto our reservation despite the lack of a confirmed payment method. We then worked together to find a suitable alternative payment arrangement. Daniela's flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile truly ensured a smooth stay for us
