we own property in MV and stay here often.   excellent staff,  great breakfast, beautiful gardens directly in the heart of old MV.    you can spend more money to stay in MV but you wont find a better location/staff

excellent once again

The staff is very courteous, helpful and attentive. The lodge is located near main attractions and is walking distance to a great coffee shop and restaurant. There is also a beautiful on-site trail available for guests. Highly recommended A++

Great place to stay

Great experience overall, the cabins were simple but clean & elegant and felt very at home. The staff was wonderful and Joshua in particular who helped me when I was stuck without transportation and was always super pleasant to chat with. They have the opportunity for night hikes on the property and some beautiful trails as well. The dinner was priced quite high for what I expected ($25 for a 3-course meal) but no option of just having an entree or a quick bite - so had to go to town for food which was an excuse to see the town but it's not a close walk so recommended to taxi every time! Though it would have been nice to have some small meal options available throughout the day. Breakfast was great and they also advertise lots of activities that are available. Overall had a wonderful time :)

Great stay!

El Bosque is a nice, quiet and cozy accommodation! Great service and many trails for walking in the forest. Lots of coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Well worth the price! Didn’t try the food but looked good!

Great service!

Our family of five had the pleasure of staying two nights in Cabin 24. My only regret was that we didn’t stay longer. 

We began planning this trip for spring 2020. And then, because of the pandemic, we postponed it until July 2021. 

Daniel and Yamal were tremendously helpful in planning our family’s outings. We collected so many memories in the short time we were here — the night tour of the grounds, the guided visit to Monteverde, zip lining, transportation to and from everything. the lunch and pastries at the nearby businesses ... all booked/recommended by Yamal. 

Having Yamal on your team is basically like having an experienced travel agent there to guide you and keep you from wasting time and money making rookie mistakes. 

The breakfast included in the overnight stay was a great way to start the day (pancakes with eggs, toast with a choice of breakfast meats, or typical Costa Rican breakfast — and fresh fruit, coffee and fruit juice).  

If we return to Monteverde we will be checking in to El Bosque.

Amazing spot to call “home” in Monteverde. Would definitely return!

Eveything was perfect. The hostel is located at an amazing location, next to true nature. The accommodation is very clean, tidy and beautiful gardens. The nature is breathtaking and the trails were a treat to walk on with a lot to see.

Loved the property, and location... The staff was amazing!

We learned about this hotel from a friend we met while in Costa Rica, and we can’t thank him enough! Joshua was absolutely amazing. He was helpful, kind, and went above and beyond to make our stay seamless. He coordinated all our activities away from the hotel, arranged for transportation, communicated with us, and was just authentically genuine and sweet. The setting and gardens are gorgeous! The windows in the room were big and so clean you couldn’t tell there was a window, and it made the views of the garden that much better. The rooms are simple and quaint but you’ll be having so much fun in the town, it’s all you need! The food in the restaurant was wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Gorgeous Setting, Excellent Staff

Fantastic location just minutes away from the entrance to Monteverde Cloudy Rainforest Reserve. Feels like you’re in the middle of the rainforest but with all the comforts of home. Private cabins with lots of space, especially shelves and hanging space. Beautiful ceramic tile floors. Clean. Hot shower. The reception can organize any activity; very friendly and helpful staff. We saw more birds and animals at the Bosque Hotel than at the reserves in the area.

Fantastic location in the middle of the rainforest with clean, spacious rooms.

I stayed at El Bosque with my ten year old son and we enjoyed the hotel. I was impressed by how friendly and helpful the staff were. We arrived later than we had hoped and the staff helped me find a great tour last minute which was going above and beyond. We both slept great and they had four wonderful options to choose from at breakfast. The pancakes were excellent. It is also in a great location close to many activities including the Monteverde Cloud Forest. We didn’t get a chance to see the trail at El Bosque this time but I would recommend this hotel for families that enjoy the outdoors.

Great Family Hotel

My wife and I stayed 4 nights in El Bosque in June 2021.  The rooms are simple and rather old-style, but overall this is a great place to stay for birders.  There are extensive grounds around the hotel, including a long trail through the surrounding forest.  We saw as many good birds at the hotel as in the famous private reserves in Monteverde.  Even when it's raining (which is often), you can watch the hummingbirds from the covered areas on the hotel grounds.

There is a nice restaurant and the staff are very friendly.
