    Everything was perfect. Marci and Fabio are the best hosts ever. The local breakfast was everyday so good! We loved the nighttour, the view from the house in the beautiful garden. The birdwatching. Well we loved our stay at Birds & breakfast and hope to come back!

    There was nothing we didn‘t like. There are two friendly dogs - just do you know. Driving up should be done by a 4 by 4 car. We managed to do it with a 2 by 4 but we really struggled.

    The owners have been friendly and super helpful & accomodating. The kitchen was free to use and well equipped. The garden was just beautiful and a good place to watch all kinds of birds. The hotel is up a hill in the middle of the rainforest which is lovely. This was the perfect start to out trip in costa rica! Thank you so much!

    This is a real gem of a place. It's on the edge of rainforest and the owners obviously love birds and are keen to help you see them and explore the area. The owners are very kind and chilled out. There's a great patio to sit on to eat, watch the birds and look at the view.

    No mosquito net over the bed, but the hosts were very open to let us put up ours. Ticket prices to the local station feel quite steep (20$ p.p.), but on the upside you will most likely be able to enjoy nature without anybody else around.

    Lovely hosts. Great breakfast on the terrace where you can spot a lot of birds, the local bird chart was a great idea! Possibility to use kitchen and fridge. Laundry Service was convenient (extra charge)

    We had a fantastic time at this place. You have a wonderful view from the terraces and we saw plenty of wildlife (kolibris, sloths, tucans and plenty of other colorful birds) which can bei experienced from up close with Fabios telescope. Marcella and Fabio took us on a nighttime and daytime walk and were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was tasty! In general, it was one of the best places we ever stayed. We were able to access the house with a regular car (no 4x4), but I guess it may be different depending on the season.

    Everything was excellent. It's an amazing place when you are a bird watcher. There are plenty of birds during all day. You can watch them from the beautiful terrace. The owners are very helpful and so nice. Just few steps from Birds & Breakfast you can visit the Children's Eternal Forest. We can recommend you stay in Birds & Breakfast !

    The setting could not have been better, beautiful, quiet and remote. It might have been nicer to be a little closer to town.

    The fruit and coffee were amazing. The breakfasts were delicious, but the servings were too big. It would be nice to have a choice of serving size and menu items. The owners were absolutely wonderful and very helpful in arranging transportation and tours.

    Only the weather for our first two days, unusually cloudy and rainy but the warmth of Marcela and Fabio made up for that.

    What makes Birds and Breakfast Very Special are its owners Marcela and Fabio. They treated us like loving family. I cannot say enough about their graciousness and hospitality. They went totally above and beyond our wildest expectations. They fully recognized that we two Floridians (me at 83 & my SO at 71) were not physically up to hiking those steep trails so they made up for it with other activities that we could comfortably handle. While birds are their focus and we saw/photographed many we also saw sloths and various animals and got to sample their local food extensively.

    Unlucky with the weather but a great place to sit out the rain and all the more birds came.

    Fantastic location within forest but far reaching views when weather allows. Great breakfast table facing extensive bird feeding area, regularly topped up throughout the day. Fabio and Marcelo were great hosts and took us on a night tour as well as setting up their Swarovski scope to see more local wildlife including sloths.

    The place is marvelous, almost inside the rainforest reserve. Marcella and Fabio made our stay memorable, and gave us super useful information about the surroundings and how to explore Chidren's eternal rainforest reserve. I'd recommend to stay as long as possible, as this place is magical, full of peace, calm. Birdwatching (and Sloth watching!) during the breakfast time is something you'll never forget.

    Breakfast was excellent. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure my family had a great experience. I would 💯 go back again and stay at Beds and Breakfast. The only reason I wouldn’t give the place 10/10 is because the mattress in my room was too hard and hurt my lower back. But my husband and the other couple who traveled with us didn’t have any issues with the mattress. So it could a preference thing. Anyways, I really did enjoy my stay.

    We highly recommend Birds & Breakfast! The location is so beautiful and peaceful, and the accommodation felt like an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Fabio was an excellent host and went above and beyond to provide us with recommendations for nature walks, activities, and eateries in the local area. A trek through the Children's Eternal Rainforest is a must! The traditional breakfasts each morning were another highlight.
