Beautiful location, friendly hosts, cozy and clean room, and yummy food and coffee
Pros:

Casitas de Montaña Cabuya is tucked away in the mountain and has a nice authentic feeling of home. It is a family-run business and has a farm where they grow their own coffee and serve it in the dining area. We spoke with the host Jeison and his wife for many hours, and enjoyed sharing stories about life. There are beautiful handmade things for sale including stickers and local soaps. The room was nice and simple and clean, and the water pressure was good and warm. After being in a hot part of Costa Rica right beforehand, it was nice to use the blankets and be cozy in the bed. The dinner was yummy and satisfying and the breakfast was good as well. Great coffee!

Cons:

This was not in their control, but it was incredibly windy at night and the gusts were very loud. We found out it's because the location is on the Continental Divide, and since the property is on a clearing with not so many trees, the winds there are extra strong!

Schorpioen naast hoofdkussen in drama hut in the middle of nowhere
Pros:

Prachtig uitzicht

Cons:

Wij vonden een schorpioen op het bed naast het hoofdkussen van mijn dochter ‘s avonds. Nu ben je daar a avonds moederziel alleen in de bush. Dus iemand halen kon niet. Ook kakkerlakken, spinnen en kakkerlak - eierenpop gevonden en verwijderd. Met de schorpioen was de maat vol. We belden - kregen geen gehoor. Toen appen - ‘yes, it is scorpion season’ was het antwoord. Geen hulp, niks. We hebben ‘s avonds om 22:00u onze spullen eerst allemaal uitgeklopt, mij dochter hield de inmiddels actieve schorpioen in de gaten die aan t rennen was door t hokje wat deze kamer was , met z’n staart omhoog in de lucht, m’n zoon zocht snel voordat de nacht echt inviel gauw een nieuw hotel nog en we zijn gaan rijden door de bergen, een compleet onverlicht onverhard pad, steile bergwegen, gaten en keien op de weg - groot licht, stapvoets. Na een half uur waren we terug in het dorp waar iemand zo goed was om nog de receptie te bemannen en ons een kamer te geven. Geen vraag vanuit de owner hoe het met ons ging of dat we ons redden. Bizar - zo’n slechte zorg voor je gasten en zo’n slechte hygiëne midden in de bush dat je ons daar met een schorpioen op de kamer laat zitten. Klacht volgt want ook het contact daarna was zeer onprettig.

Idyllic location for while visiting the cloud forest
Pros:

It is in a very peaceful location. A cosy cabin surrounded by wildlife. Only 4 cabins and I have the place to myself. The breakfast was delicious and the staff are very friendly and helpful. You would need a 4wd , although they were doing some work on the road. Arrive during daylight hours and you definitely do not want to drive in the dark. It’s around 4km from the hustle and bustle of Monteverde. Perfect for me.

Cons:

None

Bom para se isolar e ter contato com a natureza, mas o acesso não é bom.
Pros:

Contato com a natureza intenso.

Cons:

Localização afastada. O acesso não é fácil, a estrada é de barro, o que pode causar problemas com atolamentos.

If you want to feel connected with nature, this is the place to stay!
Pros:

It was the most peaceful stay we had in Costa Rica. We enjoyed the amazing view, the peace and quiet of the mountains and the starry skies at night. The owners are extremely friendly and we could really feel their hospitality.
We enjoyed our breakfasts there and also had dinner a few times. Everything was delicious.
We also used their laundry service, which was fine.

Cons:

The road to the accommodation is very difficult. Thanks to our experience of off-road driving, we managed to get there in a standard high-clearance car, but I would recommend a 4x4.
The room was lovely, but you shouldn't stay there if you're afraid of insects or spiders. There were plenty in ours.

Séjour satisfaisant en pleine nature, complété par une très belle visite guidée de Santa Elena
Pros:

Le dîner et le petit déjeuner
Le cadre et l'environnement
L'accueil et l'adaptabilité des personnes en charge de la restauration
Le fait de nous avoir mis en relation avec un excellent guide, Greiwin, pour visiter Santa Elena
La chambre familiale spacieuse

Cons:

La réservation pour le dîner du soir: il conviendrait de laisser plus de latitude horaire, car une heure pour donner une réponse, ce n'est pas suffisant.
