The room is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. We were welcomed by Natalia and Beatriz with a delicious food basket. The breakfasts were healthy and very yummy. Beatriz introduced us to the attractions and even a local soccer game. Since my boys are huge soccer fans, we made the effort to drive back to watch the game, which was one of the highlights of our entire trip! Highly recommended! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ddf6b7da-2687-41c4-9031-c7dabc687d90-1766766601035.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a9d84ccd-58b8-464f-969a-89fb848c99fa-1766766600958.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ad7c3c0-75bf-4982-8205-7fa669a26352-1766766601145.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/be13f791-37bf-4684-a931-dabc07814072-1766766601744.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yi Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Nov 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything about this place is superb.

We will stay longer if we return to this area in the future. ##### candace Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tawny Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Staff & service First I would like to say the customer service and communication was great at Rancho de Lelo. They did a great job suggesting activities around the area. The breakfast was delicious and property was beautiful. My kids loved spending time with the dogs. The view from the room was beautiful and calming. The negative is there was heavy rainfall while we were visiting and as a result the room felt very wet due to poor window and door insulation and condensation. All our items in the room felt damp. There were also bugs in the room that bit us. My kids had a hard time with this and spent most of the night awake and upset. ##### Tawny Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vibhu Feb 18, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed the family like hospitality from the entire staff !

You really have to take the dirt road on the right like indicated otherwise you'll go through Monterverde, it will be much longer and the road after a while won't be better. ##### Dominique Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie Feb 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb!

Atmosphere was friendly and grounds were beautiful. Our only issue was the distance to town… it is a good 30 min drive and if you don’t have a car that’s $20-25 each way. ##### Laurie Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominique Jul 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Rancho de Lelo was AMAZING! When we arrived, Beatriz was so kind to us and very helpful. She helped us planning activities and she recommended restaurants. It was probably the best welcome that we ever experienced at a hotel! The Rancho is located on a great property. It's beautiful, peaceful and very quiet! It's a family-owned hotel. They even have their own coffee plantation. The rooms are private "cabanas", so cabin style. The breakfast is delicious. The pool has nice clean natural water (no chlorine). There are very friendly dogs on the property and they were my son's trip highlight in Monteverde! The Rancho is located about 25 min from Santa Elena, the nearest town. The views from the town to the Rancho are absolutely stunning! ##### Dominique Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jan 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely Lodge Accommodation Lovely lodge accommodation with fantastic views across Monteverde.

Rancho de Lelo is a gem and makes a great base for exploring Monteverde. The Mata family are amazing hosts and the rooms and food are lovely. Would recommend a 4x4 for the drive in though! ##### Gary Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect base of operations for Monteverde We stayed here three wonderful nights. The staff was amazing—five star attention with many great local recommendations. Breakfast was a highlight—fried eggs, fresh fruit, and the best (homemade) hot sauce we’ve ever had. The Rancho’s dogs were friendly and more interested in scratches from younger travelers than the beautiful birds on the grounds. The cabins have all the necessities—fans for circulation but no need for AC in the cool mountain nights. Rancho de Lelo is the perfect base of operations for Monteverde. The drive into Santa Elena was very manageable, especially since many of the attractions and reservations are spread out anyway. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BF00345BB979A93A24E7C4BE4C5B6AA4A2DD3DE61741785253288.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/535CC41A5D2E9662940F5B798C5F722F405495641741785253287.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9F3EA11304CB43CF86ECC2B87D3E9F062CD727B41741785252634.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/65DF60EEDDB8C43CB03EAB829B64EEB0E08242ED1741785253173.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Break Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Beach-Break-Resort.h2243571.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Socialtel-Jaco.h18103596.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Oceano-Boutique-Hotel-Gallery.h8832353.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Osa Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Blue-Osa-Yoga-Retreat-Spa.h11717583.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
