    The stuff was super friendly and prepared the best casado we had during our trip to costa rica (have to try the homemade chilie sauce). Also unexpectedly good was the included free frog spotting tour. Even though the chalets were rather tiny they felt spacious and were indeed very private. This is definitely no 5-Star Hotel but as best as eco-friendly individual tourism could get.

    The chalets can get warm in the evening, and may be a bit small for some people.

    The chalets are in a beautiful natural environment with lots of wildlife - more than in some wildlife walks. Staff is fantastic, especially the chefs. Really great and affordable.

    I somehow missed that the bathroom/shower was outside and we would have to share it with our neighbors (and sometimes the frogs 😂). It turned out fine, though. Just not what I am used to. Be sure to bring your own shampoo!

    It was so fun staying out in the middle of the rain forest. The frog tour and the breakfast were amazing. The hosts were very kind.

    Delightful Stay in Rustic Jungle Units

    We had a lovely 3-night stay at the Chalets. It's a great quiet spot tucked away in the jungle, but an easy drive to La Fortuna. The family that runs the Chalets is wonderfully warm, welcoming, and helpful. Their home-style breakfasts (included) are delicious. We liked them so much that we decided to eat all of our dinners there, too - they were the best price/value we found in Costa Rica. The A-frame chalets are pretty basic, but we were expecting that. Again considering price/value, we were quite content. And we enjoyed the simple nighttime frog tour (included) and got some amazing photos.

    A mirror in the room would be great.

    Eduardo and his Family were very kind and helped out with anything I needed. The place is very peaceful and in the middle of nature. It’s a little bit outside of the village - I recommend a car to get around. I recommend the typical breakfast, which was delicious and also dinner was a delight.

    Nothing. I guess there's bugs but it's to be expected.

    Eduardo and Cires (the owners) were absolutely amazing. They were super nice, helped us with advice for our stay whenever we needed it and just overall made the stay a great experience. The included breakfast (made by them) also super tasty and they served a generous portion. Also it's possible to get your clothes washed (they even folded it) and they provide towels. Great value overall. The chalet is simple but very nice, you go to sleep and wake up with the sounds of nature. The free frog tour in the propriety is a nice extra touch, you can see how much they care about they're land and love nature. It is more than just a frog tour, it's an experience to learn about a different way to look at the world (at least it was for us).

    Not a complaint, more a suggestion. More/some hooks, or even some nails, on the wall. Our clothes were soaked from the rain and was hard trying to dry things.

    Really cosy, emerged in nature. Even the 24hrs of rain was made more enjoyable by listening to it from the room. Super friendly staff and the night tour was amazing, saw lots of different frogs and a snake. Breakfast was really good, 2options and was fantastic watching the wild birds whilst sitting eating it. Need a car to travel to&from the accomodation

    This is a family-run business who cannot do more for their guests! All of the staff were so lovely, helpful, and informative about nature including giving us fruit picked from the trees! The breakfast every morning was delicious (defo go for the typical Costa Rican breakfast) cooked by the owners. We also ate from their restaurant which was YUMMY! Thanks to Chalets Silencio , we had a perfect stay with you! The nature here is breathtaking, the flowers, trees, fruits and so many animals!!! Note that the location of the lodge is outside of downtown La Fortuna but it was perfect for us as that's exactly what we wanted for two nights before moving to a downtown location :)

    There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.

    How exclusive it was and what was included in the price. As you ate a delicious breakfast, you not only had a very warm and welcoming atmosphere that included seeing so many types of birds (including a toucan) feasting on bananas. In the evening, a frog tour that entailed a leisure walk around the beautiful property. So many birds and so many frogs!

    A snall thing but the cabin could use some mosquito screens which would enable guests to sleep with the windows open.

    A unique and special place away from the busyness of la fortuna, right on the border with the rainforest. Lovely owners who give a night tour of the gardens where you can see lots of frogs and the occasional (harmless) tree snake! Absolutely loads of wildlife and birds!! Nice breakfast. I would highly recommend a stay here for something a little out of the ordinary.

    I liked staying here :). You might find it nice to bring a flashlight or headlamp for your stay here, but definitely not essential. (I had one with me and used it getting in and out of my cabin after dark, but you'd also be ok without)

    Edwardo was excellent. He happened to be available and took a little bit of time after dark to explore around with me with flashlights looking at frogs and bugs. I loved it. If you put more effort into your Spanish speaking skills than I did, I bet you'd tap into an absolute wealth of knowledge chatting with him. Breakfast in the morning was super good with great birdwatching right there! I'd definitely return, and I'd definitely recommend to a friend.
