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.

We had a nice stay at the Jaguarundi Lodge. There were definitely pluses and minuses to the accommodation. On the plus side, the staff was lovely and the cabin was very clean. It was definitely rustic, but was nestled in the jungle and so it was a cool immersive experience. We had coati, agouti and lots of birds at our doorstep. The breakfast buffet was very good and was served in their sister hotel, the Ficus. There was also a great happy hour there with a gorgeous view across the mountains to the ocean. The hotel was right in town so we could easily walk to restaurants. On the minus side, the cabin is adjoining another one. The walls were so thin that you could hear the neighbour rolling over in bed, snoring and chatting during the night. We had a great sleep the first night when the cabin next door was empty but after that it was noisy. The paths between the buildings are very steep. This wasn't a problem for us but it should be considered if you have mobility issues. Finally, we found a scorpion on our bag on the last morning. If you don't like creepy crawlies, you might not be happy here.

We stayed here in Dec 2025 and it was the only bad stay compared to 5 other hotels across costa rica. And the price was on par with the more expensive and upscale lodges. Avoid this lodge and stay at a better hotel with better amenities for pretty much the same price or less. It is a log cabin, no heater/ac, strong mosquito repellent smell in the room the first night. The bathroom was not good, all family skipped taking baths.

The location is gorgeous, you feel like you’re right in the middle of the rainforest! The staff at Jaguarundi are extremely helpful. Maria was wonderful at booking activities and communicating with us before we arrived and Arlet was amazing at providing helpful information and suggestions of things to do not only in Monteverde but also other areas of Costa Rica we were travelling to. Both are a great asset to the hotel.
The breakfast is at the sister hotel a short 3mins walk away, and there is a good selection of food.
In regards to the room, it is clean and the bathroom has a good shower. The only downside is the walls are extremely thin and we were able to hear every single sound and movement of the neighbours on both sides all throughout the night and in the early hours of the morning. This meant we slept quite badly during our stay. If there was a way to soundproof the rooms, this would be the perfect stay!

Immersive Jungle Experience

This lodge isn’t for everyone, but for those whom it is well suited to it offers a wonderfully immersive rainforest experience. Our room was spacious and fairly comfortable and we felt very much like we were alone in the jungle while hotel and other amenities were very readily accessible.

My only caution is that those with mobility issues could find accessing some of the rooms very challenging due to steep walkways that must be climbed to reach some cabins. There are several on the same level as the lobby/reception area, so if you aren’t comfortable with a pretty tough climb on sketchy sidewalks, in the dark, be sure to specify that. If you are able and a bit more intrepid, definitely go for the “full jungle experience”!

Amazing Stay at a True Costa Rican Paradise!

I had the most incredible experience at this lodge! From the moment we arrived, the warm and attentive service made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and authentically Costa Rican. Every meal was a highlight!

But the best part? Waking up to wild animals just steps outside our room. We spotted playful monkeys hanging out nearby. It was like staying in the heart of the rainforest!

If you’re looking for a unique, immersive getaway with fantastic food and jungle food, this lodge is a must. I can’t wait to come back!

Great setting and service, but run-down facility

Jaguarundi resembles staying at a summer camp--beautiful setting, but the facility is run-down and not well maintained. The hotel is set in the woods and there is a 1 km hiking trail where I saw coatis, agoutis, and several colorful birds. But the room charm ends with the wood paneling in the rooms--there was no heat or extra blankets in my room, the toilets didn't flush well, the showers ran out of hot water easily, and the light fixtures were rusted. The property is extremely hilly and, if you're not in the main lodge, is difficult to navigate if you're unfit or have heavy bags.

The service was GREAT! Manfred was a huge help in terms of explaining the facility and helping me plan activities while I was in Monteverde.

The property isn't worth what they charge per night, but if you're looking for a summer camp vibe in Monteverde for a couple of nights with really good service, this place works.

The room is clean and dark so good for sleeping. The walls are a bit thin if you are super sensitive to noise. You have to walk awhile for breakfast (but you could drive), so if you have an elderly person, it could be a bit of a walk! But the breakfast is pretty nice and the view is really nice. This is right in town. There’s a fun bridge to walk to for going to some of the rooms and nature is all around—you might see monkeys or toucans if you get up on the earlier side. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You will want to be friends with them!

La jungle à proximité de Monteverde

Nous avons aimé l’endroit. Les bâtiments sont immergés dans la jungle tout en étant près des activités de Monteverde.
Malheureusement, de notre côté, nous avons eu des nuits difficiles puisque les branches cognaient continuellement sur notre toiture, nous empêchant de dormir. Ce fut réparé après la deuxième nuit. L’endroit est simple mais très propre. Parfait pour observer les oiseaux le matin. De plus, il y a un petit sentier agréable sur le site, qui n’est pas très long. Les déjeuners sont servis par l’hôtel associé (le Ficus). C’est une des meilleures tables de la région, de plus, la vue est magnifique.

Jaguarundi was a real disappointment on our trip. We had booked a superior cabin at an expensive rate. The cabin was basic and unclean with dirt on the walls and in the bathroom. The mattresses were poor quality and were dirty, as was the bed linen. There were also dangerous concrete paths to get to the cabins which were steep and slippy. The one & only redeeming factor about this place is its location next to Santa Elena. I would not recommend this as a place to stay.

We checked in on the last afternoon. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by howler monkeys in the parking lot! Just hanging out above the cars, in the trees. It was a very cool sight.

The reception clerk was very friendly and informative about the property and things to do in the area. Including walking the hotels wilderness trail that's right on the property. We took advantage of this right before sunset. It's beautiful. Only about 1 mile of trail, but full of trees, rustic paths and were told, animals. We didn't see any at this time.

We dinner at the Ficus Hotel which is connected to the grounds here. It was a beautiful setting. My husband enjoyed his sandwich. My steak was not cooked well and very tough to eat, so i did not. I asked for it to be cooked more and it was returned to me the same. Quite raw. But we would try the place again, just not having the steak. You need a reservation, so ask the reception clerk to set this up for you.

The cabin is quite peaceful. It feels as is you're staying in a jungle! The wildlife sounds all around you. When it trains, it's a lovely, calming sound. We slept well here.

It is near to all of the nightlife and shopping in the area. Walk to everything. We recommend this place.

Also, if one room runs hot water, it limits the hot water in the other room (cold night time showers). The restaurant is also not on the grounds, it is at the hotel at the top of the property which for the hike, the food was ok.

I thought the property was wonderful - if you like to camp and stay in a cottage. There was no AC, but the staff provided us with a fan when we asked. Quite honestly we did not need the fan as it got quite chilly at night.

I would say though that this property is not accessible at all. There is a lot of steep walking and stairs. We had to carry our luggage quite far and it got heavy at one point. If you have any knee/ back pain, I would not suggest this place. Otherwise, it is perfect the able-bodied individuals.

There are howler monkeys and a lot of animals in the trees- they make scary sounds but are mostly harmless!

Visiting Monteverde we knew it was going to be a bit colder, darker, rainier. However, when booking hotels - everything was so expensive. We settled on this hotel. The location is great, right in the forest and you feel like you are quite isolated in your own nature reserve which is awesome! However our room was very damp and smelt of mould (and had mould on the clothes hangers). The rooms and decor are very dark (dark wood, 70s patterns on the bedding and curtains) so all together it just felt very drab. They could benefit from a few upgrades/brightening up (neutral colours) and better ventilation to truly make this hotel amazing. Staff were excellent though and very helpful! Downside if you are staying in one of the cabins is that you do have to trek quite a bit with your luggage to get to the room and parking near the cabins is minimal. If you have mobility issues I would recommend staying in one of the main building rooms or requesting a cabin closer to the restaurant.

Before you book this property please note that some of the cabins require walking up steep, stony sidewalks. Getting my suitcase up to my cabin was challenging. Staff did not offer to help porter our luggage, but then again there was just one girl at the counter when we checked in. Otherwise our room was spotless with a nice hot shower and decent WiFi despite the fact that it is advertised as only being available in common areas. There is no a/c or heat. We weren’t uncomfortable but it would have been nice to remove some of the humidity. Breakfast is included and delicious. It was nice being in jungle just up the hill from the main road. Walls are very thin. If possible ask them for a unit which has an empty unit next door. Smokers need to walk downhill off the property to smoke. Lovely stay overall for two nights

I stayed here in the rustic cabins with my two teenage sons. Yes, as others say you can hear everything your neighbors say. The pillows are flat and there is a musty smell in the rooms. But, you feel like you’re in the jungle in the middle of town. It’s a 2 min walk. The breakfast is excellent, the staff are wonderful. You can walk on the grounds or enjoy the hanging bridge. I would definitely stay here again.
