Fantastic. The bungalow was super cosy. We had imagined it would be much simpler. There are enough blankets for the night when it gets cold. The bathroom was also super neat and clean. The garden is beautiful, with lots of flowers that attract the hummingbirds. The food in the restaurant is fantastic. There are huge portions that are fresh and delicious. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful. One of the best accommodations we have stayed in Costa Rica. There are various hiking trails from the accommodation into the cloud forest and to waterfalls.

The rooms are quite basic but fairly standard for this price point.

Great little Tico family run place. David is super friendly and helpful, and catches trout from their lake for the restaurant. We had dinner here and it was well priced and tasty. Lots of hummingbirds!

I go here every year. Martin and his family always look after us with lots of care. The casitas are simple but comfortable and the location is amazing - right in beautiful nature

One of our 2 beds could have been more comfortable but we fixed it with one of the extra blankets

Great location, the hummingbird fly around inches from your face. Extremely attentive hosts and good food

We couldn’t get warm water in the shower.

the setting, staff and location were exceptional. The hummingbirds that buzzed around the flowers were mesmerizing. The breakfast was excellent.

Dinner there was convenient but not outstanding.

The setting is stunning. We liked the trails on the property better than the national park. Breakfast was good value.

Located in the mountains, we could see lots lots lots of birds. A trail with access from the lodge where we could see a beautiful waterfall and more fauna! Great breakfast, did not reserve for the supper and were sad we did not.

I loved it!

The location in a beautiful garden next to the forest is great for bird watching and the forest trails are very nice. David and his family are great hosts.

Once you're no longer under the blankets, it's quite cold in the morning since the little fan heater doesn't do much

Lovely place with a very friendly and helpful host. The cabin was very clean and spacious and the bed was far more comfortable than I expected. I was not too cold at night, the extra blankets were very helpful. The location is great, not only do lots of hummingbirds buzz around the property, but it's also very close to Miriam's Quetzals, a great spot for birdwatching.

David is the most pure human on Earth. All of us should strive to be more like him, and channel his purity through our actions, values, and thoughts. We should capture David in a net (nicely) so that scientists can clone him. If the world becomes populated only by David clones, then the world will become a true paradise. He brings a cosmic balance to the universe, the actions of all bad people is offset by his existence and his radiating good nature. Also, nice place

Nothing could have been improved!

There is something just magical about Las Cataratas Lodge. The five guest cabins are cozy, private and have wonderful views of the mountains. It is a family-owned business and David (son) and Bernard (father) were welcoming hosts as well as our chefs. Their food is made to order and absolutely delicious! The property has its own hiking trails with a river and two lovely waterfalls. The property is a bit above the village of San Gerado de Dota and we did drive down into the village one day, where most of the other accomodation is - we found we much prefered the location of Las Cataratas Lodge as it is high on the mountain instead of down in the valley so it has much better views.

Cute little place with beautiful gardens that allow you to see the hummingbirds. David and his family are super nice and very helpful. There’s a filter coffee machine in the room which can be used to boil water for tea, and the rooms are comfortable with plenty of blankets because at 3000m above sea level the area gets cold at night. We ate dinner at the lodge once and it was reasonably priced. Good walking distance to the other places around for bird watching and food. The road is steep and a normal vehicle is fine. No need for 4x4 in December.

Wonderful private location, beautiful grounds, great trails, friendly staff. Great value as well.

It is quite far to walk 3.5km to get to the lodge. Also add another 1.5hours of drive from Puerto Jimenez. Having more signs would help the guests to find the lodge along the way.

It’s the most remote lodge from the road so you would be getting privacy and pristine environment.

Amazing view, lovely host. The jotel has his own hummingbird spottibg spots amd own trails to visit the waterfalls

I have been traveling Costa Rica for nearly two weeks now, staying at Bed and Breakfasts and cabins across the country. This location has been my absolute favorite, by far. The cabins are basic, but they bring a close comfort to you. I felt incredibly relaxed and was fully able to enjoy their quiet. Surrounding the cabin are a couple of hiking trails and a few small gazebos. You could hike to a couple of waterfalls or settle into and watch the constant comings-and-goings of the hummingbirds. The breakfasts were the best I've had in my travels so far. The dinner was also delicious. I found this spot a wonderful quiet oasis to connect with the wonderful flora and fauna surrounding me. I can't recommend it enough.

Amazing place in the forrest, the owner is a very nice and helpful, we stayed in a wooden cabin with a fire place, it was just perfect.

Beautiful location. I was able to get a local bird guide through the hotel and saw Quetzels and many other birds. It eas a great day

I stayed in the cozy hut for 1 night and I loved it. Its surrounded by nature and a lovely place. David is very friendly and helpful. You can eat breakfast and dinner there. This village is a great place to spot Quetzals. I havent seen one in the Nat.park Quetzal but I saw one in the village, at the end next to the school. The money for a tour is worth it, otherwise its very hard to spot Quetzals. And definitely stay at this accomodation. Great value for the money!

Not that there was anything wrong with the stay or the property, but just wanted to warn other guests to come prepared for the cold! It's easy to think Costa Rica is always warm, but this microclimate requires dressing for cold weather. As long as you're prepared, you will love your stay. Treat yourself to this little gem in the cloud forest!

David, the proprietor, was fantastic! He made us feel very welcome and always had such a friendly, warm presence. The location is great as well.
