Perfect place in the forest. Feels very nature everywhere you walk. Nice path to go breakfast up the hill. So relaxing. Bathroom a bit outdated but clean overall.

Simply Amazing

It was quiet friendly and really walkable, older and very basic rooms but clean .

This is a very wonderful property. On our first morning there, we woke to the sounds of the howler monkeys! I saw a few on the property. We saw lots of wildlife, which is what we had been hoping for. The trails are beautiful. It felt very safe and the staff was wonderful. There is an easy walk to town for restuarants and shopping. This property was absolutely amazing!
4.2
We loved the lodge but there was no initial information about the lack of a restaurant on the property. They referred us to the lodge on the adjoining property and it was okay, but quite a ways up the hill (walking, dark at night). Although the lodge is "in town", it was quiet and easy to get to. Looking out from our porch, it did feel and look like we were in the jungle.
4.2
The property itself was beautiful and the service was awesome. The rooms themselves are quite humid so all of the bedding was damp. Also we shared a building with another room and the walls are extremely thin. You can hear everything your neighbor is doing at all hours of the day. 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. The grounds themselves are pretty and have their own hiking trail but overall experience this was not fully as advertised.

We loved this hotel! I was apprehensive after reading a few of the reviews, but after staying here, I couldn’t be happier to report this is the place to stay! Quaint rustic cabins, tucked in the jungle with monkeys, coati, agouti & motmots right outside your door. If you’re planning a stay in Monteverde, you won’t be disappointed with Jaguarundi!
4.2
Amazing place right near the centre of Santa elena but also out the way. Bit annoying that breakfast was a 5 minute walk up hill. Saw agouti from our room. Suspension bridge is fun. Staff very friendly
4.2
The location of the hotel is very nice. Everything is quite walkable distance from the room. The whole ambience of the hotel is amazing. Felt like living in the jungle. Absolutely brilliant and soothing. The room was quiet spacious however the bathroom was a bit small. Overall an amazing stay!
4.2
Nice room with cabin feeling. If you have lots of luggage you will need help getting up the hill to your room. Hot water doesn’t last long in the shower. Free breakfast and close to town.
4.2
If you like to stay in a well equipped lodge this is it. The room had large windows which overlooked the greenery and vegetation outside. No ac and tv. So you could hear every sound from the surrounding trees. Very good experience and best breakfast buffet.
4.2
Perfect location very central in Monte Verde. Very helpful reception. Easy parking. Nice breakfast and a good bar /restaurant where you Can Watch the sunset.
4.2
I loved how it was in the middle of the jungle in nature.
4.2
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!
4.2
Very liked the experience there. Good environment and good food and affordable price.
4.2
Beautiful property tucked into the jungle. There was plenty of wildlife in and around the property at all times of the day. Would stay here again.
4.2
Beautiful property in a great location. I knew the walls were thin from other reviews and it was true. Room VERY basic. 2 beds, one side table....
No chairs, no lamps. Only a ceiling light which does not offer enough light...definitely not for reading. Temp was 62 and there is no heat..and that might be off putting for some
4.2
Very nice property in the jungle. Room was spacious and very clean. Wifi worked fine. No A/C but this is not a big issue. Breakfast was delicious. Staff very helpful. The only problem for me was lack of hairdryers- there is one for the whole property and I wasn’t able to get it during my whole stay. Definitely recommend!
4.2
This was a last minute booking after a late change of plan. However we were very happy with our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location excellent for walking to restaurants. We stayed in a superior cabin, which was spacious. The bathroom needed updating and there was a musty smell, but it is surrounded by damp jungle, so I guess that’s what you have to expect!
4.2
The Jaguarund is the perfect jungle lodge nestled in the forest next to town. There is a lot of wildlife and trails you can hike on site. Ana and Menado were very helpful and nice. The breakfast is delicious, especially the home made marmalade. It's hard to beat this place for a mix of jungle and convenience! I’ll definitely be back
4.2
This place was OK a bit noisy because we heard motorbikes all night which kind of ruined the jungle experience I wouldn’t stay here again I’ll try and get something a little bit more quieter
4.2
Les chambres ont du charme, tout en bois. Petit déjeuner très bien, personnel charmant
Seul inconvénient les cloisons entre les chambres sont très minces.. Ennuyeux si les voisins sont bruyants
4.2
Gorgeous setting. Rustic rooms are very basic. Breakfast & service lovely. VERY convenient just next to town.
4.2
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.
4.2
Wonderful staff accommodating great location mini animals and birds right off your balcony
4.2
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.
