Fantastic stay - wish we were there longer!

Amazing stay, it is a family run place, we met the owners brother and son - they were extremely cordial and welcoming, invited us to a drink and told us some of the areas history, and ensured everything was perfect for our stay. Made to order breakfast was the best from our entire Costa Rica trip. Honestly the pictures do not do the place justice - the inside of the room was very spacious and elegant and sparkly clean; and the grounds were lush and green. There were so many little well thought out things - e.g. motion sensor lights and ramps where we didn't need to carry our suitcases upstairs!

Comfortable large room. The only downside was the shower water was not hot. Family that owns the hotel was very nice and helpful. Town was less than 15 minutes walking but very steep climb back to the lodge.

Miguel made Historias Lodge a wonderful place to stay. I was travelling on my own. I wanted a private room but not pay too much as I would be spending a lot of time site seeing. So, I chose Historias Lodge. My room didn’t have a balcony or area to sit outside. I envied the others but this is to necessary. The basic and very clean room served the purpose quite well. Miguel greeted me with a friendly smile and Hola. He was so lovely and made sure I had everything I needed. He arranged tours for me, but didn’t pressure me to do anything I didn’t want to. He was such a spark of sunshine. He even arranged for his nephew to drive me to the bank. The Lodge was close to the local bus stop to get to the Cloud Forest and there was a bakery and restaurants around the corner. I would recommend it for a solo traveller like me.

受付の方のホスピタリティが素晴らしかったです。 お部屋への動線もいい意味で迷路のようで面白かったです。部屋も清潔感があり満足。ホテル周辺にはスーパーや複数軒のレストランがあり、徒歩で色々賄えるのは便利でした。 枕元にコンセントが無いのと、シャワーにシャンプー、ボディソープが二つともあるとベター。秋口は朝方冷えるのでもう少し厚手の毛布があると有難いかもしれません。

The staff was nice and the location was good but the wall is thin so we could hear every thing from the next room. No fan or AC so it was quite hot during the day.

Peaceful Stay!

Historias was the best choice I could've ever hoped for on a solo trip and on a budget. It was a great place to work in the mornings and then later walk through the town and explore. Miguel and Luis were the best hosts I could've asked for as well! They were friendly, helpful, and made sure that I felt right at home. Highly recommend if you want something peaceful!

Location is up the hill from the main town which makes it quieter, though still only ~10 min walk away. Great restaurants right nearby, actually better than the ones in the main town too. The room was great, very clean, and’s loved the chairs out in the deck outside the room. The staff was super friendly and VERY helpful in making reservations for us for restaurants and tours. Highly recommend!

The hotel has a charm to it that is quite unique! It is an older wooden house, with wooden floors and wood on the walls. Outside there are plants that grow up the balcony, which gives a naturally beautiful exterior. The bed is standard and a little hard. The staff is super friendly and very helpful

Not Bad

Amazing host. Very helpful and hospitable. Asked me many times if I needed anything. I would definitely come back. Would be nice if less bugs in the room but it’s Costa Rica . Of you can’t tolerate insects , maybe you chose a different destination. No mosquitos which is great. Location was easy to find. The property is small but you don’t need more . You are there to spend more time outside the room, not inside. Overall, I had a good time there
