Warm welcome by the owners Lelo, Juana, Beatriz and Natalia who were very nice, kind, helpful and professional. Our cabin was clean, lovely, spacious with a balcony overlooking the mountains. The lush gardens were fantastic. They offer laundry service at $5/kg, assigned free parking, pool with mineral spring water, strong WiFi, delicious breakfast from 7-9am and dinner at 6pm. The dirt road from the highway to the lodge was rather lengthy. Great job and thanks. Highly recommended!

Loved our stay here. The property is gorgeous, set in a stunning valley. The food was delicious and serving sizes generous. Beatriz and Natalie were friendly, helpful and accommodating. They will help you with tour booking and make recommendations for sights/activities in the area. We weren’t disappointed.

Perfect base of operations for Monteverde

We stayed here three wonderful nights. The staff was amazing—five star attention with many great local recommendations. Breakfast was a highlight—fried eggs, fresh fruit, and the best (homemade) hot sauce we’ve ever had. The Rancho’s dogs were friendly and more interested in scratches from younger travelers than the beautiful birds on the grounds. The cabins have all the necessities—fans for circulation but no need for AC in the cool mountain nights. Rancho de Lelo is the perfect base of operations for Monteverde. The drive into Santa Elena was very manageable, especially since many of the attractions and reservations are spread out anyway.

We had an excellent stay at the lodge and enjoyed the food a lot. You really have to take the dirt road on the right like indicated otherwise you'll go through Monterverde, it will be much longer and the road after a while won't be better.

This extraordinary family, and their sustainable farm, personify the Costa Rican principles of care for the environment and cooperation. Truly, this is Pura Vida! We didn’t rent a car and I would suggest that it would be a good idea to have wheels as the farm is somewhat remote.

A Christmas Eve to Remember at Expedia I cannot say enough about our recent stay at Rancho de Lelo Ecolodge. From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. They invited us to join their Christmas Eve celebration, which felt like spending the holiday with family. The food was absolutely delicious. The cozy little house nestled in the forest created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The property was clean and inviting. It was an unforgettable experience that made our Christmas vacation truly special.

This family owned place is awesome!! We were very late getting to the hotel due to mudslides in La Fortuna. We were really tired when we got there. They brought us dinner to our room. They even fixed a flat tire for me. Very clean place and they are very accomodating to whatever you need. They have no ACbut with the windows abd door open there us enough breeze to cool your room.

Very beautiful family run ranch. Atmosphere was friendly and grounds were beautiful. Our only issue was the distance to town… it is a good 30 min drive and if you don’t have a car that’s $20-25 each way.
