Guest Reviews
Nestled in the heart of Costa Rica's breathtaking cloud forest, Burbi Lake Lodge Monteverde offers a serene and picturesque retreat, surrounded by lush nature and a beautiful lake. Guests consistently highlighted the stunning scenery and tranquil ambiance that provide a perfect escape from the noise and commotion of urban life. The lodge is situated in a dreamy, peaceful and safe location, ideal for those who cherish outdoor life and the majesty of Costa Rica's landscapes.
While the lodge enjoys a superb position close to several adventure parks and a short drive from Bosque Nuboso park, its remote and secluded environment means that access can be challenging. The gravel road leading to the property is bumpy and better navigated with a 4x4 vehicle, especially before sunset. Despite this, many reviewers felt the scenic beauty and calm setting outweighed the effort required to reach this hidden gem.
The lodge sits on the edge of a small lake and the rainforest, offering beautiful views and quiet spots perfect for enjoying the natural surroundings. Guests appreciated the clean rooms with stunning views, the attentive and kind hosts and the unique lakeside area where one can paddle a boat and immerse in the tranquil ambiance.
