Hotel Bosque Verde Lodge

A beautiful location with stunning views of the mountains and a cottage-like feel, which we really enjoyed. Quiet and peaceful. It is close to Santa Elena with its shops and good restaurants. We did the bridge walk in the cloud forest, a coffee tour, and the night walk (ziplining and bungee jumping aren't really our thing), which were all really close by. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was tasty too (gallo pinto, pancakes, fresh fruit, etc.). Clean rooms with balconies, where we enjoyed our morning coffee. We'd happily stay here again.

The rooms are great, roomy and have a nice balcony. The restaurant is beautiful either outside or on the second floor, the staff is so caring and friendly. The food was amazing I couldn't even take pictures of it. The price was incredible.

Hotel Bosque Verde was a wonderful surprise and a hidden gem outside of town. The rooms are super nice and the ambience is relaxing and quiet. This is the perfect place if you are looking to get away and enjoy the real rural costa rica. You can hear the birds and when it isnt cloudy the view is amazing. Breakfast is super delicious as well. And the staff is the best! We stayed for 2 nights and they gave us a cheaper price than orbitz had. When we decided to return to monteverde because the lowlands were too hot, they had a room waiting for us with lunch on the house to thank us for returning. Anything you need they will have for you. We love this hotel and my husbands favorite part of our trip was sitting on our balcony overlooking the views in tranquillity. HIGHLY RECOMMEND especially for the price! You cant find a hotel this nice at this price in Santa Elena or Monteverde.

This place was awesome! I regret calling them directly to book a room because now I can't leave a review on hotel websites to give them the props they deserve.

The pros:
This place is very quiet and peaceful. At night all you can hear is the sound of crickets and cows softly munching on the grass in a properly next door. It's very much located in a countryside setting.

The first night in Monteverde, my girlfriend and I stayed in the town center and it was awful. Loud music playing at night, we couldn't go sleep, even with earplugs on. I asked a few taxi drivers about the noise and they all said the same thing, it's noisy in and around the town center.

I highly recommend you stay away from the town center unless you want to stay up late and live the nightlife.

This place was recently opened in March of 2016, so everything about it is fairly new. The place looks great, everything is made of wood.

They also have yellow lights! This is a minor detail, but I don't like the blue harsh office type lights that all other hotels we stayed at had. The yellow lights really gave it a nice and cozy feel rather than that garage like feel from bright white lights.

The bathroom was way better than other hotels we stayed at. The sink actually had warm water. Again, many of the other (cheaper) hotels we stayed at did not have hot water in the sink. I was surprised by bathtub itself since it was pretty large and elegant; it seemed like something you
would find in a more upscale hotel in the USA.

There's a ton more pros that I could write about, but then the review would be really long.

Cons:
Spotty wifi. The wifi only worked the first day we arrived and then stopped working. However, the wifi inside the reception building works and if you ask the receptionist, Ernesto, I'm sure he will glad to help you connect to the internet. This was a minor issue for me and my girlfriend since we came to enjoy the countryside and not be glued on our electronic devices. The place does have cable TV, so that helps.

Cost of traveling to and from the hotel. Since it's 15 minutes away from the town center, we had to grab a taxi. The taxi charge 4,000 colones as of the time of this writing, which is about $7.25 US dollars. So about $15 a day.

Also, a lot of the tours don't pass through this hotel since it's kinda out of the way. This means having to grab a taxi to go to the town center or another hotel where the tour transport can pick you up. This place was amazing and the most comfortable place we stayed at, the taxi costs are completely worth it.

Final words: Stay here if you are looking for a beautiful, comfortable, countryside experience and don't mind the extra expenses that come with having to take a taxi into the town center.

Small hotel, excellent service and very frendly staff. Ernesto, manager, was very helpfull arranging tours and taxi service. Close to many things to do. Quiet location offers splendid sunset vista.

Delicious food!

Wonderful place. Breakfast is very nice, staff was helpful and the view from the room is beautiful! You can even see the sunset from the room balcony!

I loved it here. Most calm resort/hotel I stayed in while in costa rica. The staff are amazing. It's ran by a very nice young couple who help you with whatever you need:)

Off the beaten path hotel that will bring you out into nature! Large room made in wood and delicious breakfast: got the pancakes and were fantastic!

Beautiful surroundings, completely in nature. Staff awesome, helpful awesome, went out if their way to make our stay pleasant

Great place to relax great service from Karen and her team.

Super hosts! Beautiful location!

Servicio excelente de Karen y equipo. El desayuno genial delicioso. Super recomendamos para un fin de semana de relax. En el area de arriba sala hace falta un bar asi chill. Regresaremos a revisar si toman en cuenta la opinion del bar.

En plena naturaleza, Fabiana nos trató como si fuéramos su familia, disfrutamos viendo colibríes, luciérnagas, etc. Habitaciones de gran tamaño con balcón y vistas preciosas.

Rewelacyjny hotel ze stylowymi pokojami. Genialne widoki z balkonu, w tym perfekcyjne zachody słońca. Dobre śniadania, miła obsługa

Excelente ubicación a 5min del centro en carro, lo suficientemente alejado para poder oír la naturaleza y ver las estrellas. El desayuno podría mejorar.

Por la belleza de la infraestructura, la naturaleza viva, hay abundante flora y fauna.
Precios accesibles, trato cálido personalizado, atento a las necesidades del cliente.

El Hotel es elegante.. Una vista preciosa, las habitaciones súper acogedoras.. Un lugar maravilloso , al cuál iria mil veces..

Muy bonito lugar, bastante tranquilo, apenas para descansar.
