The Green Tree Lodge

I typically don’t write reviews, but I felt I needed to after my experience — especially since one of the reasons I booked this room was because of all the glowing reviews. I don’t want someone else to go through what I did. Our room had many bugs, including a giant spider and many bees. I’m highly allergic to bees, so this was a serious safety concern. We reached out to the owners and even knocked on the office door, but it took an hour and a half to get a response. When they finally replied, they said they couldn’t find any bugs in our room — despite the fact that we had photo evidence. What was most disappointing is that they refused to offer any type of reimbursement. The hosts had been so kind initially, which made their lack of cooperation, especially after such a clear hazard, all the more surprising. Do not stay here. There are many other wonderful options in Monteverde!

My husband and I had a lovely time staying here! The treehouse style lodges are very private and quiet. Best of all, the couple who runs the green tree lodge were phenomenal hosts! They were so helpful with everything we asked for, and the breakfast they made was delicious. We felt that this stay was an incredible deal for how great it was.

The cabin was wonderful and in the middle of a lot of trees. Its like a private tree house. Elizabeth & her husband were good and helpful. They let us know more about Costa Rica's schools & life. They served a very delicious breakfast. The grounds are good for hiking on our own. We saw many birds and a snake. Elizabeth did the laundry for us. Thank you! Do not forget to look at the interesting ficus tree near cabin 3 (we stayed there). A very different and peaceful experience compare to other hotels. If you are looking for a B & B in Monteverde, I highly recommend it!
