    There was a sulfur kind of smell in the room

    Rustic rooms walking distance to town with a decent view of the surrounding mountains

    Decent stay but not really as advertised

    The standard double rooms are on the first/second floor of the main building, immediately adjacent to the main road (traffic noise from early til late) and behind other buildings which means limited views and it doesn’t feel like a retreat/ relaxed stay in the forest. The photos are misleading! Staff are courteous and helpful to a point, but limited knowledge of what to do in the area.

    Rooms were beautiful, well designed and high quality finish. The full glass wall onto the balcony was a nice touch to take in fresh air and the (limited) views.

    I found a little odd how the room doors have a horizontal aperture. We were lucky we didn't have noisy neighbors and it was also low season, but otherwise, I think you could potentially hear noise from the other rooms. You can also hear the motorcycles, as it's located on the side of the road.

    Hotel is easy to get to, plenty of parking spots available right under the hotel. Staff was super amazing, really friendly and kind people. They welcomed us, walked us to our room, and explained everything that was needed The little cabin-like room was so cozy! It had an electric fireplace heater that just accentuated the coziness ♥️ All services were great, good water pressure and temperature, along with all the needed toiletries. The complex has a communal area with a coffee bar, tables, sofas, a heater, and a balcony with more tables; perfect for a nice chat with friends and family before heading to the rooms. Oh, the complex also has a terrace with a super nice view, very relaxing as you can hear the birds chirping. They also have a little shop in the reception area, in case you forgot anything since it's far walking to the little downtown. And if you think it couldn't get any better, they also spoil you with a coupon for the restaurant next to "La Vaca De San José." Great restaurant btw! great food, great ambience, really pretty cozy place ♥️

    We were missing some essentials like lights in the bedlamps. A cloth to dry the dishes, utensils etc, but when we asked the staff they came by very quickly to make sure to provide what they could. Balcony of one of the rooms was unusable because the wooden beams are warped/loose.

    Beautiful cabin and property. Just like in the pictures. Was easy to reach things around by foot or electrical tuk tuk.

    I was recommended this hotel from a friend and we loved EVERYTHING about it from the amazing view to the finishings of the room. Marianna checked us in and provided amazing service through the whole stay. This was one of my favourite hotels in Mexico. The beds were comfortable, showers hot!!! multiple places to relax, the electric fireplaces were great! STARLINK WIFI in the mountains!!! 10/10 in everyway. The restaurant next door provides amazing food aswell! A great place to stay for a few nights. You will not be dissappointed!

    Not a negative per se- but note it’s roughly a 25 minute uphill walk from the bus station in town. You can also take a taxi up the hill. Wifi is intermittent but it’s the case for the whole town.

    Lovely cabin with great view for sunrise. Staff attentive and helpful. Very clean and modern property. Recommend.

    It was not well insulated , during the day quite hot in the night it got a little cold. You could hear lots from the neighbor so bring ear plugs.

    Very nice wood cabins and a nice view! Sadly we did not book the ones in the from with frontal view so we had the street unbetween.

    Poor sound insulation, the rooms are right on the street and you can hear everything through the walls - even people in surrounding rooms. There were no toiletries in the bathroom apart from hand soap, not even extra toilet paper. The sheets had old stains on them.

    The room was super cozy, nice design, good heater. The location is great, walking distance from San Jose yet in the woods.

    Fairly out of town - about 20 minutes uphill. PS. Be careful of the wild dogs the area - they can be quite aggressive

    Extremely cosy with the best views ever! Also a great restaurant on site and free coffee :)

    The only little minus would be the lack of WiFi, it’s not working that good but it is nice to spend some days there in nature with a little internet detox.

    Our cabin was just stunning! A lot of attention to detail, the beds are super comfortable, the hanging chair on the balcony is super nice and it just feels super cozy. We loved the electrical fire places as it was a bit colder while we were there.
