Hotel room was very clean and comfortable. We loved the onsite restaurant, the food was amazing The hotel staff was great. The location is close to all the sites we wanted to see. Would stay there again

10/10 Exceptional

The location is unbeatable because it is within walking distance of the cloud forest. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and peaceful. The breakfast was delicious and the room was comfortable with a nice porch. I wish the room had a refrigerator and the hotel could use a pool or a hot tub, but the stay was nice overall.

We enjoyed our stay here as well as the easy proximity to the cloud forest. Our daily breakfast was delicious. Any wonderful way to start our day. We even saw Coati’s playing around in the yard while we were eating. The rooms are outdated, but they were clean. The view from our room was spectacular.

A lovely place to stay, which makes us want to return for a longer stay. Highly eco-conscious and eco-friendly the property is very well maintained and offers a sumptuous sit-down breakfast and good lunch, and dinner options at the restaurant. With wonderful views of the mountains and airy rooms, the Trapp lodge offered a unique experience. Since there are no elevators, one has to be prepared to go up the ramp for rooms in the higher elevations. Staff are friendly and since dinner is done by reservation, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a call asking if we would like a dinner reservation to be made. Highly recommend this place for a lovely, comfortable and quiet stay.

6/10 Good

We stayed two nights. Positive is that the hotel is a short walk to the entrance to the Cloud Forest Reserve. The negative (as we stayed when it was wet, cold, and windy) is that the bedroom (they give you a small heater but that is inadequate for the size of the room) and the dinning room were very cold. Dinner was poor quality. Breakfast had limited choice and portion size very small. It is remote from Monteverde so be prepared to spend money on taxis (if you don’t have your own transportation). The place is stuck in the 1970s. I wish I could give a better review - however, the hotel needs to invest to bring it up-to-date with competitors.
