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 #### Nicole Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This place is ##### Nicole Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and excellent food and beautiful grounds.

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 #### Mark Mar 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A great choice!

Highly recommend! ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominique Mar 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had an excellent stay at the lodge and enjoyed the food a lot. 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!

But it is a drive up into the mountains on a very bumpy gravel road, so make sure you have a good SUV not a car. Our room was not one of the photos that you see on Expedia so it truly wasn’t what we expected. It was clean and we did have what we needed (shower and bed), but we would not go back. The property is beautiful and with the walk up the gravel road allow us to see many birds which was pleasant and joyful. Also, if you are not a dog person, this property is not for you. You are constantly greeted and escorted by their dogs. ##### Carla Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property and very welcoming staff. ##### Michele Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vibhu Feb 18, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed the family like hospitality from the entire staff !

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 ### 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.

From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. They invited us to join their Christmas Eve celebration, which felt like spending the holiday with family. The food was absolutely delicious. The cozy little house nestled in the forest created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The property was clean and inviting. It was an unforgettable experience that made our Christmas vacation truly special. ##### Irina Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oleksandr Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful and nice place, so quiet.
