The owners Rolf and Lise do there utmost to make you feel at home. The cabins are very nice. We liked the breakfast very much. At some evenings we had homemade dinner. Lise is a very good cook, but we think it is a bit overpriced. There are some nice trails in their own little piece of jungle. If you... More

We feel that our price for food is not overpriced considering that the meal is prepared fresh, nothing is prepared ahead of time or frozen. The salad if freshly picked from our garden. The meals are $25.00 each. This includes a large salad (with many veggies) to begin the meal, a main course of fish, meat, or poultry with 2... More

This small and hidden place is a real gem! If you're looking for personal service, rustic but very nice made cabins, a spectacular setting and lots of nature, this is the place to spend some nights. The entrance is kind of difficult to find so make sure you keep an eye out for KM 118 on the route over the... More

This is one of our absolute favorite places in Costa Rica. It is peaceful and beautiful, and we have not found any other place that is even comparable as it comes to birdwatching. Truly stunning! And Rolf and Lise are great hosts that make you feel very much at home. We will be back -- and will tell any friends... More

The cool weather and beautiful views were the best thing for me. The hummingbirds were nonstop entertainment. The owners were great and fun without being in our face.I also enjoyed the hiking early morning to the top of the mountain and watching the amazing clouds below. We took the bus from San Jose. It was able to drop us a... More

A remarkable stop on my birding tour of Costa RIca. This is a very well run B&B with hummingbird feeders and well maintained trails that offer access to the middle altitude birds. Throw in the homemade wine and this is a winner. More

We spent one night in the cloud forest of Costa Rica in this beautiful Bed and Breakfast. The rate was very reasonable and the breakfast was outstanding. Lise and Rolf, the proprietors were so hospitable, we felt like we were staying with relatives. We will definitely return next time we are touring the area. If you are looking for a... More

Rooms are very nice, cozy and comfortable. All around you see hummingbirds, feeding of the feeders or flowers, many other colorfull birds as well. I could sit on a terrace... More

Travelling around CR for a week we stayed in 4 different accommodations and Bosque del Tolomuco was the best by a mile! It's not for nothing that this B&B is rated Number 1 on Tripadvisor... they deserve their accolade. We arrived to an immaculate cabin with breathtaking views of the mountains and a private garden full of hummingbirds. Lise &... More
