Nice place to stay, although the rooms were quite spartan. They had the best breakfast of any place we stayed in Costa Rica. Only about 10 minutes to the cloud forest and in town so walking distance to all restaurants.

A great stay is all about great people. From the moment I arrived until the day I left the owners were very helpful. I am a mature woman travelling alone and I speak very little Spanish and booking shuttles, trips etc can be a problem. They were upfront and honest. The room was larger attached en-suite was bigger than I... More

We stayed in Manakin Lodge for 2 nights in superior room. Room was very clean with a nice porch and spacious. Originally we booked a standard room, but once we saw the superior one with the view and porch, we upgraded. Place is well situated especially when you have a car. Family is friendly and willing to help you.

I just got back from the Manakin Lodge. For the price you can't beat it. Very clean, good breakfast included, very nice owners. I've stayed there at least 4 times over the part 3 years, and always had a pleasant stay. One guy complained about the wind, not much they can do about that, it's the lower part of a... More

It seems that at the top of the mountain it's often like this at night and in the morning. Its also cold at night and a warm sweater is good to have. The hotel is... More

This is a quaint nice place. ALL the staff are so nice and friendly. But Don't book the night tour with them!! I was booked in with a girl and he took us just to some sites around the road in the town. He seemed to know his stuff but soon after started the tour because we were chatting about... More

I'm a low maintenance world traveller who has never once complained about a hostel/hotel online. Until now. My stay here was simply awful! The owners were unfriendly, the screaming wind kept shattering up against my room's cheaply constructed window frame so loud that I could barely sleep. It may have been just one night with bad winds, but when I... More

Ausser den wirklich lauten blätterrauschen in der nacht hatten wir eine gemütliche zeit. Preis leistung ist super. Die familie ist sehr nett und hilft super bei ausflug buchungen.

.This hostel is a great place to stay, just a short walk to the edge of town you might get one of the spacious rooms that meet the trees outside,besides the shade from the heat of the day, the monkeys come down to your balcony for a look in This is probably the closest you can get the to the... More
