The hotel is located inside the forest with wildlife around you. The rooms were clean and the food was good. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They went beyond expectations to make our stay comfortable. We want to thank all staff from the reception, the restaurant and room service for making our stay a pleasant and memorable stay

Great service and the room is spacious! But we could hear the guy in the room next to us snoring all night and in the morning clearly hearing the conversations in that room. The breakfast is fine with options.

Great location being close to town but also in the forest. The property is well maintained, beautiful and full of wildlife, and the staff was incredibly hospitable and helpful. The room was simple but comfortable and very clean.

This is a comfortable lodge. Our room was spacious and clean. But we had a walk up room from the parking lot which was a bit of a hike. Also the walls are very thin and they dont have any quiet hours. Our neighbors stayed up past midnight talking and playing music and we were super exhausted from a day of hiking and had to ask them to keep it down twice. It would be good to enforce some quiet hours. The breakfast at hotel Ficus was good and we enjoyed the happy hour. Overall it was pricey for the walk up room and thin walls. Also floors were slippery. And no pool or hot tub.

Room was clean and staff very helpful. The breakfast at the Fiscus hotel was very good . The area around the hotel is really neat - right in the forest . Felt like a cabin. Our only complaint would be the poor lighting in the room. Perhaps LED lights would brighten the room.

I had a great time here- the views and the cabin did not disappoint. We heard howler monkeys, and saw a few animals and variety of birds. The room was comfy and reception was very helpful explaining/planning the activities. Would stay again.

This was a lovely hotel that allowed us to submerge ourselves in the rainforest. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from our porch. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and happy hour was a hit. The staff were friendly and very helpful when needed. I would highly recommend this hotel for your next trip to Monteverde.

The greatest. Nicest staff, remote location with walking trails yet easily walkable to the center of Monteverde (which is a cool little mountain town). Getting there earns you triple traveler points.

Manfred made checking in easy and not a hassle what so ever. The rooms had a vibe of their own and the shower actually had some good pressure. You can hear howler monkeys both morning and night and feel submerged in the jungle
