If you're looking for a place where you feel you are part of the jungle, this is it! The rooms are simple and cozy. There's no AC but was not needed as it got cooler at night. We saw wildlife every day, it was great. Breakfast was included and delicious. It was a wonderful stay!

Staff is amazing, room was clean and the breakfast/dinner restaurant has an amazing view of the Monteverde area, with a beautiful sunset. Go there early to enjoy the 2 for 1 drinks while you catch the sunset. If you're in lodges 31 and 32, you're in your own jungle, so while it is quiet during the day, be warned of Coatis playing on the roofs early morning and at night.

Room was clean and staff very helpful. The breakfast at the Fiscus hotel was very good . The area around the hotel is really neat - right in the forest . Felt like a cabin. Our only complaint would be the poor lighting in the room. Perhaps LED lights would brighten the room.

Immersive Jungle Experience

This lodge isn’t for everyone, but for those whom it is well suited to it offers a wonderfully immersive rainforest experience. Our room was spacious and fairly comfortable and we felt very much like we were alone in the jungle while hotel and other amenities were very readily accessible. My only caution is that those with mobility issues could find accessing some of the rooms very challenging due to steep walkways that must be climbed to reach some cabins. There are several on the same level as the lobby/reception area, so if you aren’t comfortable with a pretty tough climb on sketchy sidewalks, in the dark, be sure to specify that. If you are able and a bit more intrepid, definitely go for the “full jungle experience”! All my attached photos were taken on the lodge grounds

Manfred made checking in easy and not a hassle what so ever. The rooms had a vibe of their own and the shower actually had some good pressure. You can hear howler monkeys both morning and night and feel submerged in the jungle

Amazing Stay at a True Costa Rican Paradise! I had the most incredible experience at this lodge! From the moment we arrived, the warm and attentive service made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and authentically Costa Rican. Every meal was a highlight! But the best part? Waking up to wild animals just steps outside our room. We spotted playful monkeys hanging out nearby. It was like staying in the heart of the rainforest! If you’re looking for a unique, immersive getaway with fantastic food and jungle food, this lodge is a must. I can’t wait to come back! Note: Our room did not have a TV or AC.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The highlight was that the cabin was surrounded by nature and we felt like we were secluded in the jungle. We heard the howler monkeys at night and were delighted by many Coati foraging in the forest right in front of our cabin. There were even probably 20 baby ones! The Agoutis were also a delight. Breakfast at the Ficus hotel was excellent. The hotel was walkable to downtown.

This was a lovely hotel that allowed us to submerge ourselves in the rainforest. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from our porch. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and happy hour was a hit. The staff were friendly and very helpful when needed. I would highly recommend this hotel for your next trip to Monteverde.

Great setting and service, but run-down facility

Jaguarundi resembles staying at a summer camp--beautiful setting, but the facility is run-down and not well maintained. The hotel is set in the woods and there is a 1 km hiking trail where I saw coatis, agoutis, and several colorful birds. But the room charm ends with the wood paneling in the rooms--there was no heat or extra blankets in my room, the toilets didn't flush well, the showers ran out of hot water easily, and the light fixtures were rusted. The property is extremely hilly and, if you're not in the main lodge, is difficult to navigate if you're unfit or have heavy bags. The service was GREAT! Manfred was a huge help in terms of explaining the facility and helping me plan activities while I was in Monteverde. The property isn't worth what they charge per night, but if you're looking for a summer camp vibe in Monteverde for a couple of nights with really good service, this place works.
