"Unsure what makes this an eco retreat aside from the fact they ask you to bring your own water bottle to refill with water they provide and there is no hot water for showers. The property has a lot of potential but it felt maybe slightly neglected. There was a lot of debris on the ground, the kitchen area was really dirty and the room had rusty racks and shower curtains that allowed water to spray out all over the floor. With that said, it is the cheapest option in the area (a fantastic...

Best Stay of Our Costa Rica Trip — Malekus Mountain Lodge
This was, hands down, the best place we stayed during our 10 days in Costa Rica. Not only is the property itself beautiful, but we had the pleasure of being the only guests, so Roger and Rosy treated us like family. They helped us shape our itinerary to have a more authentic, local experience, and honestly ended up defining our whole trip.
The rooms were comfortable — we had the one with a double bed plus a separate room with a bunk bed,...

My husband and I stayed at the Volcano Lodge for 2 nights. We were welcomed so warmly by Valery at the reception. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The grounds are so beautiful with so many different plants and flowers. We truly enjoyed our breakfast which was buffet style. The fruit was delicious! We cannot say enough about the thermal pools-so so relaxing!! Thank you!

The staff was so lovely and warm, and really made us feel at home. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and my kids had a wonderful time visiting the farm animals. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A beautiful property, nice garden, saw a few toucans and other birds; humming birds, a toad, and the guava tree attracts lot of sining birds; a nice trail to a river within the property. Clean, comfortable, good value for $$, convenient location; staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return to this cottage like hotel with an outdoor kitchenette.

Amazing hotel! We had the best stay. The room was incredible with a shared outdoor kitchen between two rooms. The amenities at the facility were lovely and very clean. The staff were very responsive to your messages on WhatsApp. The breakfast was awesome with many options. We also had a massage at the spa which was very relaxing. The location was great and about a 20 minute walk from downtown and a 5 minute walk to El Santo swimming hole. You can also walk to La Fortuna waterfall if your up for...

You can tell that the entire location was very thoroughly thought and planned out to its beauty! We loved that the location had lots of nature, a pool, and breakfast included.
The only thing that we didn’t like was that there were lots of red ants that were coming through the bathroom window all throughout the night. We would find them in the sink, toilet, and wall beside the bed.

An absolute gem of a place. It is just as rustic as the photos suggest and that’s exactly the charm. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, immaculate property, stunning gardens. Also the best night sleep of our stay in Costa Rica hands down.

Everything about the lodge was amazing.
The location, the rooms size, the staff, the restaurant.
The 4 star rating on amenities is because the rooms have no fridge.
That's our only not 100% comment.

Emilio, at the front desk (possibly concierge), was excellent. He helped us plan out excursions and was so responsive. Breakfast choices were great and the hotel itself was much better than we expected. It was spacious, clean and the bathroom was beautiful. Pictures online do not do it justice. It’s easy enough to walk into the main area of town. I would highly recommend this spot.
