I absolutely loved the dining experience here! The food was quality was excellent. I will say they do need have ventilation in their units as the condensation makes everything totally wet. Also, the drive up is unpaved and very bumpy. Get an all wheel drive rental. I do still recommend this place and I would stay here again.

Very friendly staff and great restaurant. Beautiful view from the restaurant and bar. The food was fantastic! There is fun wildlife all around the property, all able to be viewed while having breakfast! However, We didn't like that this was a zip lining property, on the surrounding hiking trails there were many cables strangling large beautiful trees and noisy construction due to zip line maintenance. The rooms did not have a refrigerator or air-conditioning or heating or TV. A ceiling fan would have been nice. These conditions made the bedding moist and smelly. If you are planning on doing a night tour, I would recommend doing it at a different facility. A pleasant stay overall.

We stayed two nights at this hotel in August. It is a beautiful hotel with lovely staff and setting. However - beware of hidden charges. We booked a family suite for a 2 night stay through Expedia. We are a family of 3 with a 14yo but when we got to the hotel they were expecting an infant and charged us an extra $52 per night supplement ($104 in total which was an unpleasant surprise). We had not had this problem in any other hotels during our trip so this was disappointing (hence the 4 stars vs 5). Neither Expedia nor the hotel accepted there was a problem with the booking system (other hotels we booked added an extra person supplement at time of booking through Expedia). We asked Expedia for the information we provided at booking in case we had made a mistake but were told this was not possible.

We recently visited Monteverde and had an amazing experience. The staff are very attentive to our needs and assist in a very timely manner. They are excellent with customer service. The restaurant views are just breathtaking as you can see Toucans, a variety of different Costa Rican birds, and zipliners. (One minor recommendation is the rooms need to be updated and there is a lot of space and not very good utilization...)

Isolated lodge
Lovely 2 night stay at the Cloud Forest Lodge. Very comfortable room and huge shower room. Missed having coffee making facilities in the room, but that’s a pretty minor issue really. Loved having cocktails on the restaurant balcony while watching the sun set and all of our meals in the restaurant were absolutely excellent. Customer service was spot on. We arranged 2 activities through reception: - A night walk, which unfortunately was a complete waste of money - Canopy zip lines, which was excellent and completely safe - although somewhat scary as it was extremely windy.

Hotel is unique as it is tucked away from the center of town. Best option is a taxi considering the parking challenges in Monteverde. If you're on a tight budget, stay closer to a hotel closer to town. Boena rooms are VERY clean but do not have amenities like t.v. and coffee maker. They are serious about eco friendly with solar and have space heaters and heater was enough in Dec. No views from the rooms. With all this said, they have an awesome restaurant and a great view. They serve traditional Costs Rican dishes and I am a Foodie so be prepared for a wonderful experience. We didn't make it past the 3 appetizers. If you are served by waiter Randall, you are in for a treat as he will explain the local cuisine. There are several trails and a Zipline course that starts right on the property. We tried a different zipline but Boena's ZL is supposed to be started by the original founders. Stay here if you want a unique, off the grid experience physically (they do have a very fast Internet).
