The gardens are beautiful. The employees very friendly. One of the gardeners showed us some sleeping owls and where to see the frogs at night.

The huge botanical garden attached to the property was gorgeous and a lovely space to walk in. The lobby and dining room is beautifully decorated, with an incredible display of local rocks and minerals. The hotel ad implied our room would have handrails in the bathroom, but it did not.

We had excellent advice from the front desk after a medical incident that needed attention. They called the medical services, and an EMT group arrived within 20 minutes and attended to my injury. They were courteous, detailed, and thoroughly professional, and did not charge for the visit. We were thankful for the advice, and appreciate the medical system in Costa Rica.

It’s an older hotel so it’s somewhat outdated. I see where some will find charm in that. It’s a nice property with a nice garden area for walking. I paid for a Mountain View and honestly it was a parking lot and a roof visible from in the room. If you went outside and leaned around the corner from the balcony you could see downtown. It was quite Misleading in my opinion.

This is such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay, from the artwork on the walls to the artefacts on shelves wherever you look. It’s also a geologist’s dream. The staff are really friendly and attentive, esp in the hotel restaurant. And the gorgeous gardens, the pool… we spent Christmas here and it was a perfect choice for peace and beauty. I can’t recommend the Bougainvillea enough .

Hotel Bougainvillea has been here for decades and knows exactly what most of its patrons want. The rooms are clean and spacious, with fans rather than A/C (which is fine at this altitude), though the showers are getting a bit old fashioned. Probably the best garden you’ll see in a Costa Rican hotel, and a reliably good restaurant which is favoured by non-residents. I always stay here when in the area.

Very nice hotel in the area and the staff was super friendly. The food that came included was also really good. The only issue I had was the difference in floor if you want to have AC or not. They gave me a second floor without AC and when I asked I was told that only the 3 floor has AC and it was extra if I wanted a room with AC. Going from Florida I don’t see why I have to pay extra to have AC. Hopefully they can fix that

There wasn't a refrigerator in the room but if you ask for one, it will be provided. Not sure about microwave availability but there wasn't one in the room. It was great that there are windows that open so there was fresh air all night.

This is such a classic place. The grounds are beautiful and fun to walk around in. We also enjoyed the amazing artwork throughout the place. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made our stay lovely. They let us use the pool after checkout while we were waiting for our flight. I stayed here 15 years ago and would stay here again. It is about 20-40 minutes drive from the airport.

The hotel is set in a beautiful garden, just like a Botanical garden, many different trees, shrubs, flowers, that attract birds and butterflies. At breakfast you can sit and look out at part of this exotic garden and see orchids, birds on a feeder and flowering shrubs. A delightful way to start the day!

This is an awesome hotel. We live in Sarchi, Costa Rica and have always wanted to stay at this hotel. We stayed 2 nights and would highly recommend to anyone. The property is beautiful, close to 10 acres of some of the most lovely tropical and local plants and flowers we have ever seen. It has so many trails going through the gardens and it is very walkable. Everything was perfect, service, restaurant, gardens, bed, etc. We visited Sibu Chocolate and restaurant, fantastic experience only a few miles from hotel. We also did the Saturday Féria and it too was close and remarkable. Bought lots of fruits and Veggies. Overall this was a great experience. Hard to describe how beautiful the property was how friendly everyone was. I highly recommend Hotel Bougainvillea to everyone visiting Costa Rica 🇨🇷 and for those of you lucky enough to have this in your backyard. One hour drive from Sarchi.
