A better mattress. Was not the worst and it was not a big deal, it was totally worth it. The accommodation it's in the jungle so you will need a car to reach it. If you are bothered by the noise of the wild livings then maybe this is not the place for you, personally I loved it! We would wake up at 5 and watch the jungle waking up, brilliant!

This place it's like a piece of heaven, in just a few hours from the arrival we spotted so many animal. Our cabin was next to the water and during our stay we have seen: toucan, agoutis, squirrels, coatis, otters, a tarantula( we think) a green basilisk, turtles, green iguanas, honey bear(kinkajous)and hummingbirds. The host was very kind to point out animals that were around, like the toucan, kinkajous and the iguanas.

Amazing place in the middle of the jungle, you wake up in the morning with all the sounds of the animals, plenty of toucans, racoons and we had a lovely a lovely sloth climbing a tree just in front of our place. The owner is very nice and helpful

Beautiful place immersed in the tropical jungle. Great hosts as well. My only suggestion is a water filter dispenser in a common area for people to get potable water. Other than that amazing!

there was no drinking water available but the owner did give us some on request. There is no kettle in the room either, but was also given to us on request.

the property is surrounded by the forest and you get to see lots of animals and plants. we watched a sloth really close to our veranda. the accommodation itself is very basic but has most of the essentials and comfortable. you can get breakfast at the property at $8pp and it’s basic (toast, jam, eggs, fruit and coffee/tea) but really nice.

This was such a special place to stay. It is ten minutes’ drive from the vibrant town of puerto viejo but you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. The hosts were very friendly and happy to show us the many animals that live around them including sloths, tree frogs and raccoons.

If you are without your own car and carry luggage with you it’s a must to take a tuc tuc or a taxi or a bike to get to the lodge.

Great secluded lodge in the jungle Very friendly hosts who gave us lots of great hints for animal watching and the highlights of the region. The nice wooden chalet was very comfortable. The shower was amazing: never had the option of showering cold and warm in the jungle before- awesome! We could hear howler monkeys in the morning and saw tucans and monkeys as well. If you get up early in the morning this spot is almost better for animal spotting than the national parks. The breakfast was also great: some fruit and bread with jelly as well as eggs, coffee and orange juice.

A bit far from the road, so you either need a car or bicycle for a longer stay. Wifi wasn’t great but worked most of the time outside on the terrasse.

Lovely cabin in the jungle with plenty of space. Sloths and howler monkeys just outside of the terrasse. Great place to stay to spot animals. Very nice hosts! It’s easy to take taxis to/from Puerto Viejo town (approx 5 USD each way) or go to restaurants on the main road.

The jungle was immersive and the lodge blended into nature seamlessly with plenty of monkeys and toucans!

Fantastic get away in the jungle allowing you to get real close to nature! Armadillos, raccoons, huge Lizzards and monkeys around the lodges. Magnificent experience!

The house/cabin was great. I loved the overall design. The kitchen was large and had all the necessary utensils. The deck had beautiful jungle views - it was a pleasure chilling out there. The owners were extremely friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

A little hard to access. It's good to rent a bike. The nearest market is about a 20 min walk

Very peaceful place in the middle of the jungle. I woke up with birds singing and loved it.

Some small details but in no way anything to spoil our overall positive experience: -not having a boiler/coffee-maker and a small fridge in the room -the breakfast was somehow limited for what it costs (bread, butter, jam, omelette or smaller omelette+fruits, coffee or tea) -the loo needed some TLC

A jungle retreat, still a short drive (or bike ride) from beautiful beaches and the many nice restaurants of Puerto Viejo area. The lodge is rustic so do not expect a lot of modern amenities. But on the other hand you can spot sloths, monkeys etc on the trees just outside your balcony :) Not to mention the ducks, Maxim the dog and the visiting agoutis. Our wooden room was clean and very spacious and fitted perfectly the environment. Our hosts were very nice, clearly loving their surroundings, and with suggestions on what to visit, where to dine etc

There is no potable water. That means you can't drink the water out of the tap or brush your teeth with it. I have no idea what the water contains that would make it not potable. If you stay here, bring your water bottles with you. Second, the smell of mildew is very prevalent. See pictures attached and you will know why. A gallon of bleach would make a big improvement here. Walls, furniture have mildew. The bathroom toilet and sink could use a good deep clean.

Convenient to town. Hearing the monkeys in the morning.

Nice place, a little pricy and more in the jungle that we thought. During day it gets really hot although its under the trees. We didnt mind , but if you plane to stay during day for working etc, think of that and of course think of the mosquitos. The matress in the master bedroom was already a little old. Biggest minus: I honestly travel a lot and I must say that the part that I would give less points for is: beeing really in the jungle and far away from everything, I had more luxury and better situated houses for a cheaper price. It was even low season. But Irene is really nice and made us a better price at the end.

Irene is really nice and brought us everyday new towels. She showed us animals and a slot. Good breakfast at her place. Nice but of course not luxury place but with everything you need. Feels also safe.

There's no drinking water in the property and this was not communicated prior to arriving. It can be really dangerous and we were upset that after taking a shower, we still felt dirty. One of my piercings got infected, so definitely beware if you have piercings, this is not the place for you.

The bungalow is lovely
