Overall Ratings & Reviews Santa Maria Volcano Lodge

What a beautiful place and the owners and staff is so kind and makes you feel so welcome. The cabins are very nice, food is delicious and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. I wish my time here could have been longer as there is so much more to explore. I hope to bring my kids here soon.

We loved our stay at this rustic location. Awesome authentic breakfast and very accommodating and informative hostess, Yocky. For travellers expecting luxury and air conditioning, this is not that experience. It is rural (some dodgy roads to get there), and basic but clean and well maintained cabins. Good hiking in the area.

What an amazing stay! The farm is thriving with wildlife and the plants. There’s so much hiking nearby. Our room was comfortable and cooled off at night. We loved the place so much that we want to come again. Very well maintained and the owners feel like family

Exceptional setting for viewing birds/wild life

We absolutely loved our 4 night stay here!! We stayed at the family cabin, ehich the kids loved as it looked like a treehouse! We took advantage of the horseback riding, the view and tour guide were incredible and if we had another day there, we would have went again. The owners were fantastic with communication before and during iur stay, they even offered to have dinner ready for us upon our late arrival, which made things much easier after a long travel day. The food was so good and so much serviced, we had a hard time finishing everything! On top of the services they offered, they also let the kids go milk cows and provided us with tips ans suggestions we took for local areas ehich was greatly appreciated ♡ i could say so much more about how much we loved it there and would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area, especially with children!!

This place is a hidden gem! The rustic cabins are well maintained and clean. A short walk from the cabin and you arrive at the restaurant where the food is amazing and reasonably priced. The hosts were so nice and helpful, making suggestions for our hikes and other options for dinner (although we ate on site 4 times it was so good). Our kids miss Lucky and Domino and wanted to take the puppies home :-) I would definitely recommend!

What a great place to stay, great people, accommodations that keep you comfortable while allowing you to really experience the forest and good food and drinks to cap it all off, wish I'd stayed longer.

Bungalos un peu sommaires, mais l'accueil était fantastique et les repas vraiment délicieux et copieux.

Great rustic farm stay! Dogs everywhere - which I love! Wonderful staff, rustic cabins, lovely nature sounds and beautiful flower everywhere!!!!

Very cute rustic cabins. Great service and great food at the restaurant. Family owned and take good care of the guests. Provided information on the activities in the area. Have been there 5 different stay in the last 3 years and loving it every time. Lots of birds to observe form the cabins, Tucanes, Parrots, Aracary, Oro Pendula (montezuma) and several other.

I stayed here on the first night of a cycling trip and it was a great place to stay with tasty food and friendly staff. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, but the wifi didn’t reach the room.

awesome place simple life , great food and people a long way away from the hustle a bustle of everyday life Great Place simple life Great People Great Food Good Facilities but simple the way it is suppose to be place won't be for everyone but it was awesome Scott & Nika

I love the place is like living in a different world, with no tv, no phone is a new filing off been with out technology and more with the nature

Beautiful landscape and variety of plants/flowers around the property. Very peaceful and relaxing. Excellent food for breakfast and dinners. We really enjoyed the simple and tranquil atmosphere.

Extremely rustic cabins. But clean though basic. Cold water only. Excellent food. Orchids, birds and monkeys. Nice people. Follow directions given to the property and don’t let your GPS deviate you from that route or you could get stuck in the mud!

Unique rustic cabin with great amenities and surrounded by rainforest.

The owner/host was incredibly kind and generous with her time, cooking, attention, recommendations, willingness to help us learn Spanish -- everything. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food was incredible. The garden was beautiful. If you want to get away from big hotels and stay in the mountains and rainforest with some wonderful people. This is the place for you.

An absolutely stunning property nestled in a tropical garden. The hospitality is excellent and food delicious. Highly recommend for a unique stay in volcano country.

Great place, great food, great folks!

The most delightful hotel experience I have had in years, from the beauty, to the price to -especially!- the service. The cabins are rustic in every way but comfortable and complete. You will wake up next to a pond and surrounded by a functional farm with both farm and wild life. Breakfast and dinner ‘tipoco’ will be served by the most delightful people. I have no idea about lunch because you will be in the middle of the ‘Valle Verde’ and it’s Volcano National Parks and many hot springs and rivers, so you will be busy. This is the perfect place to get away from it all and emblematic in every way of “Pura Vida” and I cannot wait to return. Drive East to Bagaces and then North on 164 so that google maps doesn’t lead you to the back way, which you can explore at your leisure while exploring the local volcanoes and hot springs.
