Nice experience in Monreverde

Our stay at Mountain Faro was made excellent by our host! She took excellent care of us, going out of her way to make our time in Monteverde special. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the hotel was close to the rest of town!

The staff were friendly and accommodating. The property was on a dirt road in a residential part of town away from most shops but was a short walk into downtown. Rooms were relatively clean except there was a hair on one of the bed sheets. Floors were mopped each day which was helpful. Breakfast was light and simple.

A beautiful stay at a lovely family B&B.

A lovely little stay at Mountain Faro. The family are so helpful and friendly, they really can't do enough for you. They helped us book trips and transport(for the same price as anywhere else). They gave us some good recommendations as well. The breakfast is simple and great- fresh fruit, eggs on toast, fresh coffee and juice. The rooms are big, the beds are comfortable, with a lovely shower that has great water pressure and is nice and warm. The wifi is also really good. For the price, i cant imagine this place could be beaten. Especially considering it has a couple of lovely reataurants within touching distance.

The property manager, Lady, was so helpful. She helped arrange tours for us and gave us information about what to do. Finding the place was a little difficult, as Waze didnt map it out correctly (initially I used Mountain Faro Hotel as it was named in expedia) so i had to stop and google address and remap with a different name. I used Mountain Faro B&B and waze mapped icorrectly then. Also office was closed when we arrived at 7pm. I had to find contact info on expedia to reach owner. She answered and got us situated. Just fyi..sonyou know to call ahead tonlet her know time you will arrive. Great place!

The price is right

This was a family run small B&B. They were curteous and helpful. The room was no frills, but cute and clean. It had a fridge, nice large bathroom. No A/C or ceiling fan though. You couldnt beat it for the price. It is on a winding neighborhood side road, but close to restaurants in this quiet cute town. It was perfect for our visit to the Monteverde rain forest. It included a traditional Costa Rica breakfast.

Great bargain

The family that runs this place were very kind, friendly and helpful. They were slow to respond to messages. The room is as described, rather small with few flat surfaces to set things. The room had a sewage smell that was resolved by keeping shower drain covered and sink drain closed and airing out with window and door open. The breakfast was cooked fresh at the time we chose and was very good. A coffee pot is available, bring your own coffee & small filter. Also bring your desired soap and shampoo. As many places in the area, be prepared to put toilet paper in a trash can, not flushed. It was a great bargain hotel, clean and within walking distance of a commercial area, if you are in good condition and can handle steep hills.

Lovely but steep climb

Excellent hotel but up a very steep hill and then an unmade road. You either need a car or be fit enough to climb the hill

We booked day-of after a change in plans and were just looking for a cheap and decent place to stay overnight. We were pleasantly surprised. This place is adorable. No frills, but the room and premises were clean, and staff was friendly and helpful. They served a delicious, made-to-order breakfast. No A/C wasn't a problem as the temperature dropped at night. Walkable to town for dinner and drinks. Check in and check out were easy.

Mountain Faro is a simple, clean, and well-located property, with a good breakfast included. Yes it is up a hill, but you are in Monte Verde and everything is up or down a hill. The staff, led by Lady, are lovely, welcoming, and so helpful - including recommending restaurants, helping to arrange tours, and arranging transport as needed (for tours, or if you just don't want to walk the hills). I highly recommend it.

Mountain Faro Hotel was a beautiful place to stay. Very nice simple breakfast. Very easy check-in! The parking spot was a bit tight but that is the only downside to this Hotel. It is within walking distance to restaurants nearby. I would recommend staying at this hotel! Thanks for a pleasant stay!!!

Nice place. Helpful service. Breakfast is pretty much from 7-9 am. This town has a lot of steep and less than ideal streets and limited parking. The property access requires a steep climb to get to an unpaved street. The property has a wonderful view when it is clear. Simple, clean updated room with nice bathroom and hot shower with good water pressure.
