Wonderful pool ##### Roman Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryland Jan 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication My stay at Bamboo River House was amazing. Great spot, super comfortable, the pool was awesome, there was lots of birdwatching. Great spot to swim in the river right across from the property and I could walk into town and back at night. ##### Ryland ### 2/10 Terrible #### C Mar 18, 2020 Disliked: Room comfort #### Not as shown. This hotel is not where it is shown on the map. It’s about 1.5 kms from Dominical, along a dirt road. Not walkable. It’s also not close to the river. The host - or someone I assume was the host, as he never introduced himself - was quite rude to me, and not at all welcoming. As a result we didn’t stay, but found another place right in the village. ##### C Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 16, 2020 Liked: Amenities Beautiful, new and mpdern place. Great people good vibes and made me fall in love with Domical all over again. Id hate of if everyone rents here because id rent again and again. Give credit where it is due the owners and people of Dominical really make you feel amazing.I visit again without a doubt. Bes ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 8, 2020 Disliked: Amenities The location is magical but difficult to access without double traction vehicle. The closest restaurant, bar or grocery is located 1.5 km along of a rocky road. At my arrival I was allowed to check in only after 8 pm because the room wasn’t done; Incredible, isn’t it? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Phone number provided on reservation confirmation worked perfectly on WhatsApp to communicate with the host swiftly! Host went out of the way to ensure I had everything needed, even gave me a ride, local taxi information, and recommendations for sightseeing and bird watching. Host respected my privacy and I had a most excellent, relaxing time. I enjoyed taking care of myself and not having maid service everyday. The kitchen had everything I needed, the fans were pleasant in the humidity and the hammock was a most wonderful touch on the deck for reading. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Drake Bay Getaway Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Drake-Bay-Getaway-Resort.h9139624.Hotel-Information) > > [El Castillo Boutique Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-El-Castillo-Adults-Only.h5225047.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Bosque Para Disfrutar la Naturaleza](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-The-Forest-Garden-Home.h27477816.Hotel-Information) > > [Aguila de Osa Rainforest & Marine Adventure Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Aguila-De-Osa-Rainforest-Marine-Adventure-Lodge.h3347732.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel SantaFe Monteverde ](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-SantaFe-Monteverde.h101109945.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain-view home with private infinity pool & outdoor shower - dog-friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Mountain-View-Home-With-Private-Infinity-Pool-Outdoor-Shower-Dog-Friendly.h90166780.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Costa-Del-Sol.h12333277.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tranquilo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Drake-Bay-Hotels-The-Tranquilo-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36517873.Hotel-Information) > > [Surf Synergy All-Inclusive Surf Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Surf-Synergy.h894264.Hotel-Information) > > [VILLA JACO B47 - FOR YOUR GREAT VACATIONS](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Condo-Villa-Mena-For-Your-Great-Vacations.h24275470.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Loft Pacifico](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Loft-Pacifico.h15307111.Hotel-Information) > > [Clandestino Beach ](https://www.expedia.ca/Parrita-Hotels-Clandestino-Beach-Resort.h4770434.Hotel-Information) > > [Croc's Penthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Penthouse.h22244527.Hotel-Information) > > [Pirate Cove](https://www.expedia.ca/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Pirate-Cove.h8384053.Hotel-Information) > > [Jaco Beach Ocean Front and Center of town !!
