The staff were the best thing here, friendly, efficient and very helpful. The parking was convenient. Bar and food OK, room spacious and clean but poor shower. Location convenient for the park but a long way from town. Given the rural location and clientele staying there because of their interest in nature it would have been nice to see some effort to attract wildlife, whether planting certain plants to attract birds or frogs etc, or simply hanging some hummingbird feeders.

When we arrived, we reflected back on some of the mixed reviews. The staff was very friendly. The location was perfect for accessing the Cloud Forrest (5 mins away)-less than 10 minute drive to town- not far at all, if you wanted to eat at a restaurant in town. The decor was pretty dated, but we had just come from the Springs Lodge, so we were pretty spoiled and probably needed a reality check!! as far as having a pool or hot tub, we weren’t there for those activities. We were there to see the Cloud Forrest and zip line, so none of that mattered. I’d recommend having one meal at the lodge and then having some meals in town. Also, they offer a heater at the front desk and it was perfectly adequate to warm up along with our big blankets. The view and the surrounding gardens were gorgeous and the configuration of the room maximizes this with a glassed in front sitting area. We were traveling with our daughters 20 and 22 and it was fine to share one room for 2 nights.

We enjoyed our stay here as well as the easy proximity to the cloud forest. Our daily breakfast was delicious. Any wonderful way to start our day. We even saw Coati’s playing around in the yard while we were eating. The rooms are outdated, but they were clean. The view from our room was spectacular.

Room was clean , but very old . The hotel is just next to cloud forest , so gets very windy in the night. The road is dark and unpaved ,so drive in night is difficult. Breakfast is ok .

A lovely place to stay, which makes us want to return for a longer stay. Highly eco-conscious and eco-friendly the property is very well maintained and offers a sumptuous sit-down breakfast and good lunch, and dinner options at the restaurant. With wonderful views of the mountains and airy rooms, the Trapp lodge offered a unique experience. Since there are no elevators, one has to be prepared to go up the ramp for rooms in the higher elevations. Staff are friendly and since dinner is done by reservation, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a call asking if we would like a dinner reservation to be made. Highly recommend this place for a lovely, comfortable and quiet stay.

We could not have picked a better place to stay. It was adjacent to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve--we would just walk down the road for 5 minutes to get there. And the shuttle returning people from the Park to the parking lot passed right by the hotel and would always drop us off at the front, saving us the walk back. Breakfast was super, staff was so friendly and service so good. They had a sign board in reception listing all the activities in the area, such as horseback riding, zip lining, night hikes, etc, and they would arrange those for us, giving us ideas of the when the best times were. Jorge at reception planned all our activities--so efficient and had good insight. Great views from the room. Lovely sitting areas set up in the hotel--it was nice to sit in the garden surrounded by flowers with the rainforest in the background/
