I had a great experience. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and helpful.
I walked almost everywhere, from the cloud forest to a coffee farm (Café La Bella Tica, highly recommended), to the downtown Santa Elena area. I like walking, so the location was fine for me (I averaged about 10.5 miles per day).
They have one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. It starts with fresh fruit (banana, pineapple and guava), and then you have a choice of 4 options: a traditional Costa Rican breakfast, pancakes, toast and eggs, or huevos rancheros. I didn't have the toast, but everything else was exceptional.
The restaurant was also very good. I highly recommend the grilled chicken with black pepper sauce or the grilled sea bass.
The facilities are well-maintained and clean. While I was there, they were repainting the walls along the walkway and they tended to the grounds (bush and tree trimming, mowing, etc). They cleaned my room when I asked them to and avoided it when I asked them not to.
I could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend the Trapp Family Lodge.
4.3
Great view from our room. Quiet. Restaurant was good food but a bit pricey compared to other options in area. Breakfast was nice and included. Very close to Monteverde reserve entrance so some traffic on road and took a while to get up there from town. We ended up eating in town a lot.
4.3
Everything was great. All the places in the area should come and learn from you how to run a great place to stay. Thanks for everything! If ever back in the area we will definitely be back to stay. I wish we could have stayed longer.
4.3
Our stay was amazing! The staff was more than exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was remarkable. We’ll be back.
4.3
There should be laundry facility as advertised.

The lodge is old and a little bit smelly but great location for the park and food is excellent
4.3
Good hotel, friendly and helpful staff
4.3
Beautiful view and cute rooms. No AC, and even in the cooler mountains it would have been nice. Plus the doors have gaps that allow bugs to crawl under and into the rooms. But it is a cloud forest so not a big deal, just something to note. Good location.
4.3
I really wanted to give this property 5 stars but I had to take one off simply because the rooms, at least our room, was very outdated and the bed extremely uncomfortable. I will say that the views from this property are breathtaking and we were in love! It is a short walk to the Monteverde Cloud Forest. The staff were extremely friendly and courteous. The food at the restaurant was also quite good! My only disappointment was the room condition and bed. Otherwise, wonderful property!
4.3
Nice staff. Good location for cloud reserve and nice grounds- not really walkable into town
4.3
Very friendly staff and the location is within walking distance of Monteverde cloud forest.
4.3
The hotel and staff were excellent. Very nice. The bar restaurant was very good and relaxing. Would stay there agsin
4.3
Wonderful & friendly staff & close to tours. Beautiful setting.
4.3
We had a very comfortable mountain view room. As expected we had a fantastic view over the cloud forest which we could enjoy from the room with a really large window and comfy chairs.
The breakfast was full service and excellent with enough items on the menu to have a different selection every day. We had dinner once and it was also very good at a reasonable price.
The hotel is away from the centre of Santa Elena, and the Monteverde cloud forest is 10-15' walk away. It does feel isolated, and it adds to the charm of the place.
We organised our excursions beforehand, including transportation. It was easy to get a taxi from town for $14 or so.
Excellent stay! We thought a small fridge would be useful.

Trapp Family Lodge was set high up a mountain road on beautiful grounds. I personally loved feeling like I was in the trees. Though the wind made my friend feel like she was in a hurricane. I did not feel the same way. I felt like I was a part of nature. Which I love. The staff were extremely helpful and helped us out a few times when we were looking for rides to some of our booked adventures. I would highly recommend Trapp Family Lodge and would stay there again.
4.3

Excellent staff, especially Estefan at the front desk. Very friendly and very helpful. Great location near the Cloud Forest Monteverde. Only a 10 min walk. Room showed its age a bit, but was very comfortable and had a great view.
4.3
This place is fantastic. Walking distance to the Monteverde Bio Reserve. Great ambiance. Has a lot of character. The sit-down, custom free breakfast is nicer than what you pay for at most hotels.
4.3
Very nice
4.3
The view from the room was great. The grounds and buildings were classy. Gave us a real sense of comfort and elegance for a resort.
Conveniently close too the entrance of the Cloud Mountain Reserve
4.3
The Orbitz photos don't do Trapp Family Hotel justice, this hotel is a true gem. The hotel is beautiful, the cleanliness is immaculate, the woody aroma of the rooms relaxes you the moment the door opens. The toiletries are organic and their perfumes are delicate,
Breakfast is tasty, and the people who serve are very professional and extremely kind, the restaurant offers an exquisite variety of options, truly homemade. The hotel environment offers peace and is the ideal place to rest. All staff are extremely polite, and welcoming, helping all guests at all times. Esteban and Daisy advised us, even before arriving, through WhatsApp and they were truly incredible. Highly recommended!
4.3
This property is in easy walking distance to the national Park. The property has very nice gardens around it.
The hotel, restaurant and kitchen personnel where very
friendly and spoke English very well.
4.3
Beautiful gardens and great customer service. Large comfortable rooms, but they need some updating. The towels had a musty smell.
4.3
Loved the Trapp Family lodge. Only regret was staying their one nifht at the end of our stay in Costa Rica. The rooms were spacious, clean and wrll laid out. The grounds werre amazing. The place is a bit further out of tow , bit when you are encased in nature, it's worth it.
4.3
This was our second stay at Trapp Family Hotel in Monteverde and we loved it even more than the first visit. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food and drink was excellent. And the activities set up by the hotel on our behalf were nothing less than spectacular. We recommend horseback riding and canyoning!
4.3
Excellent stay at this hotel. All staff were extremely friendly and kind. The front desk staff were super helpful when for all requests, especially when booking tours. The view and the hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful! The restaurant for lunch/dinner and breakfast were very good and affordable. I would recommend this hotel for a stay in Monteverde and would be happy to return back to this hotel!
4.3
The location of the property is great, within walking distance of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. But the room we were assigned had a strong chemical smell in the bathroom, almost like a pesticide. The room feels old. The TV didn't work well. The shower soap dispenser didn't work. The shower pressure was too weak - the front desk said it was by design to preserve water.
4.3
The best part about the property was waking up in the morning and looking out to the forest. That is all you see, besides the rest of the hotel. You don't see other buildings, businesses, or crowds of people. The room is simple but clean. The negatives are that the bathroom doesn't look professionally finished and the water pressures are low. Also the bedding seems ready for replacement. However, despite all the little issues, I really like the place and had a wonderful stay.
4.3
Hotel is right next to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. It's quiet and peaceful. Hotel seems a bit dated and could use more electrical/charging outlets. Beautiful grounds and nice view of cloud forest. Room didn't appear to have heat or AC. But we used the restaurant the two nights we were there and the food was very good and reasonably priced. Glad because with dark and not great roads in Monteverde we decided to eat in. Staff was very attentive and helpful. If mobility problems make sure you get a room in the main building as it's a bit of a hike up hill to rooms higher up on the property.
4.3
Trapp Family Lodge is in an amazing, serene setting. The grounds are lovely. The views are spectacular.
4.3

4.3
Great staff and nice clean beds
4.3
Great hotel in the mountains only 15min walk to cloud rain forest.
4.3
Great hotel. Read someone else’s review not long ago that said the rooms needed to be updated. The rooms, in our opinion, fit the chalet feeling of the place. Wouldn’t change it. View was great from room #22. Restaurant food was excellent. Friendly staff. Would go back again.
4.3
Parking lot was challenging but it worked.
Pretty far outside of Santa Elena if you're looking for more of a walkable experience, but they provide onsite dining options (breakfast looked good though couldn't accommodate a food allergy).
Beautiful location, near Cloud Forest.
Room had windows without screens (bug entry) as the only source of air. Thankfully the weather was cool, but room was stuffy without air circulation.
