One thing to note is that the road to the property can be challenging for low suspension cars. It's advisable to have a vehicle with some ground clearance, as the walk from the gate to the lodge can be quite a trek.

We stayed at Horquetas River Lodge for one night on our way to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. It is a secluded gem offering a retreat next to a beautiful river. With only two rooms, the lodge ensures a peaceful and private experience. The rooms are spacious and equipped with air conditioning, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The friendly staff adds to the charm of this place, always ready to prepare food upon request. For those who prefer to cook their own meals, there's a well-equipped kitchen available for guest use. Overall, Horquetas River Lodge offers a beautiful and serene escape with excellent amenities and a welcoming atmosphere. It's an ideal destination for those seeking peace, privacy, and a touch of nature and a very recommended stop for your road trip!

The signs with the name of the place was not easy to see from the road when you arrive after sunset....

A bungalow out in the forest, quiet a bit from the reception. Very dark in the evening but interesting and no problems to sleep.

The property is in a quiet place, adjacent to a forest, can spend the day doing nothing. Only good if you are looking for a quiet place to stay, a bit away from modern amenities. We stayed here to visit the nearby Braulio Carrillo National Park. The host is flexible and friendly, complete kitchen available with refrigerator, microwave, stove, utensils etc

It was difficult (or impossible) to adjust the temperature of the shower. Very cold or boiling hot. The rest was good.

The property is very remote, you can’t find it without a car. The lady working there is amazing. You forgive small issues connected to your stay just because of how nice this lady is. She is in love with her country, the nature and the animal around. My 10 points is to her really. As for accommodation it was good, the breakfast (cooked by the same lady) is great. You stay in the jungle and no one around. You wake up to howling monkeys sitting next to your room around 5-6am. So be ready.

Loved everything

Everything. This is the best property I have ever stayed. The hosts are wonderful. There are only two rooms and the other room was empty when we stayed there, so we had the whole place to ourselves. It was like living in a house in middle of forest. I especially loved the big outdoor kitchen. Amazing thing was that Wi-Fi was also quite good in the middle of forest. They also let us ride their horses for free. Breakfast was also amazing. Will definitely go back to stay here.

Due to the traffic we arrived later than planned and it was dark. We had been told there was no sign but to look out for some red, white and blue gates (which we couldn’t see as it was dark). Turned out there WAS a sign but we thought it was just advertising the place rather than the actual location.

Lucie made us very welcome and although we speak very little Spanish and she very little English we got by using google translate. I had the best 2 nights sleep of our whole trip dispite the rain thundering down on the roof.

Nothing, every effort was made for a fantastic stay!!

Breakfast was super tasty! Location was amazing! Walking along the river and trails was beautiful!!!

Stayed in January 2024

the hot water was wonky, it’s a bit scary driving there in the dark, and would highly suggest a 4x4 for the long, rocky road from the main road to the accommodation.

loved the environment and being very close to nature. loved the very large outdoor patio. LOVED Lucia. Loved being close to the river and being able to swim in it, loved Lucia’s breakfasts!!

The owner. She was so amenable. She could not have been any more helpful and pleasant. You can’t go wrong staying here. We stayed here one night on our way to the Caribbean.

We were surprised, in a good manner, from the location of the place that was deep in the forest. Lots of wildlife and a stream nearby – a very pleasant surrounding. Nice outdoor kitchen with a big place to sit and eat. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Lucia, the host, was very friendly and helpful. We had a really good stay.

I had a tussle with the shower in it won! I got either too-hot water or cold, nothing in between!

Very clean with properly intact mosquito nets on the windows! Nice modern bathroom. Totally charming greeting, breakfast and care from the lovely owner. She used charm and Google translate to communicate with both us (in English) and the German guests in the next room. Very nice breakfast and lots of good coffee. Nice river.

It is a bit far from the entrance.

It was very clean, quiet and the breakfast was really good!

Stayed in January 2023

A small problem, only one burner works on the stove and some of the pans had to be washed before use as they had been stored dirty.

Beautiful setting on a raunch but in a little jungle oasis. Very peaceful although there was occasional noise from the farm. Lots of birds to see and a little river with swimming hole 2 minutes walk. The host Lucia is a very lovley woman. There was some confusion as I thought I had booked for breakfast however I had not but she provided breakfast any way. Muchos gracias.

As the location is in the middle of nowhere, I would recommend having your own car to fully enjoy this place. Also, maybe bring earplugs because the monkeys can get loud at night!

Lucia and her husband were fantastic; we felt incredibly welcomed by them. The breakfast provided by Lucia was also delicious! The whole accommodation was amazing too - the small things had been thought out to provide everything you needed in what is a remote location.

The drive from the road needs to be taken slowly but is passable with care. The turning isn't obvious or clear from the main road.

Great location in the wilds and the host, Lucia is lovely. Great reception and a warm and fun person 👍👍 Lots of wildlife, we heard howler monkeys in the morning and had a river where we could swim very close by. Very relaxed and close to nature. We would return 👍👍

The name of the property was not properly marked on the entrance gate. Difficult to know whether you are in the right place. They need to have a list of nearby activities for people to do…. like the palm tours, the butterfly farm. recommended restaurants.

The nature setting.

De host was super sweet, she doesn't speak English but that's not a problem! The breakfast that she makes is also very delicious.
