This property was so unique! We had a monkey walk right passed us on the other side of the glass while we were at dinner! The room was very comfortable and clean, though it was a bit of a walk to get to it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great.

This is a fabulous property, rooms are well appointed and clean with great views. The grounds are incredible, we saw more wildlife around the grounds of the property than at the national park. Highly recommend the restaurant, the views and the food are great.

Koora hotel was fantastic! The rooms were great, the food was delicious, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It was amazing to witness agutis, coatis and monkeys in the hotel area. The pools were nice and warm, and a lot of fun for the kids. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Monteverde!

The property was beautiful and very maintained. The rooms were spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. Air conditioning was great. The heated plunge pool was amazing. The staff are all helpful and polite. The food and drinks were all delicious and big portions. My favourite part was being in the middle of nature and being able to see some of the incredible wildlife that Costa Rica has. This place is a wonderful place to relax. We definitely didn't want to leave because we loved it so much.

Great food onsite. Special touches like a souvenir coati and local coffee, snacks and drinks in room. Staff went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were attended to. Cannot beat the location in the cloud forest. Make sure to pack some warm clothes as clouds, wind and rain come through quickly and really cool things down!

Our room was beautiful and very comfortable and the food was fantastic. But the staff were the outstanding part of the visit. We will certainly come back to the Koora House
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were amazing, great view and very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and had quite a selection. The restaurant is very good and would recommend to.try at least one dinner. The staff is extremely helpful and booking and arranging trips. There was a group of coatis on premise that were adorable. The only complain is the hike every morning from the room to the breakfast. But we had a lovely weather. Definitely worth it!
