The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They answered all our questions and made reservations for several excursions we wanted to do. The room was also excellent and spacious. I’d recommend Selvita Lodge to anyone visiting the area.

Clean rooms, good shower
Way too expensive for what it offers. I could hear mice in the roof and walls all night long.

Family run lodges near town but not too close. The property is beautiful with many birds and plants. The accommodations are basic but you have everything you need. AC works great and the breakfast is good. The family is very nice and welcoming!

Lovely lodge with a great rustic feel. We saw loads of birds just sat having breakfast.
The owners were fantastic - they bought my girlfriend a cake for her birthday and left a rose on the bed - top service.

The owners were so friendly and went out of their way to help with everything.
I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet and friendly place to stay in La Fortuna area. It was also about 3KM from a big waterfall ( that costs money to enter), walking distance to a supermarket, and to a smaller but free waterfall with a "Tarzan" swing for the brave. They also served a very nice breakfast.

We had a very spacious, clean high-ceilinged cabin with a patio which was surrounded by a beautiful bird-filled garden. in fact, we saw more birds here than in all the national parks. it was really private and breakfast, which cost extra, was served served here too. There were 3 choices and the continental which was pancakes and fresh fruit was tasty. The owners were friendly and showed us a way down to the lovely river. We were the only people there! it is about a 15-20 min walk into La Fortuna, which is quite touristy. Luckily there is a supermarket and great restaurant, Chante Verde about 100m away!
Tea and coffee making facilities would have been nice, especially with such a great patio to drink it on!

Felt like a nature stay in the wooden lodges surrounded by dense plants. Located in a quiet area outside of Fortuna town center but taxis are available and all attractions are 5 to 10 minutes ride. There’s a nice waterfall at a walking distance, a mini-market and an excellent restaurant. Fast wifi. Great breakfast. Incredibly helpful and friendly family running the place.

The only good thing about this place were the people and service.
It was nothing compared to the pictures they have online. The place wasn’t clean. Everything smelled like humidity. There were no place to have breakfast. Very very poor.

Super lovely people. The private wooden cabin was very comfortable; high ceiling, good airconditioning, nice shower, beautiful garden around the cabin with your private patio surrounded by plants and birds. There was even netflix. The late checkout was perfect for us, we could do a nice hike to the fortuna waterfall.
Nothing.
