Mountain Faro Hotel

The family that runs this place were very kind, friendly and helpful. They were slow to respond to messages. The room is as described, rather small with few flat surfaces to set things. The room had a sewage smell that was resolved by keeping shower drain covered and sink drain closed and airing out with window and door open. The breakfast was cooked fresh at the time we chose and was very good. A coffee pot is available, bring your own coffee & small filter. Also bring your desired soap and shampoo. As many places in the area, be prepared to put toilet paper in a trash can, not flushed. It was a great bargain hotel, clean and within walking distance of a commercial area, if you are in good condition and can handle steep hills.

1. Lady(host ) provides good service. Just make sure to get the whatsup contact for communication 2. Room cleanliness

A lovely little stay at Mountain Faro. The family are so helpful and friendly, they really can't do enough for you. They helped us book trips and transport(for the same price as anywhere else). They gave us some good recommendations as well. The breakfast is simple and great- fresh fruit, eggs on toast, fresh coffee and juice. The rooms are big, the beds are comfortable, with a lovely shower that has great water pressure and is nice and warm. The wifi is also really good. For the price, i cant imagine this place could be beaten. Especially considering it has a couple of lovely reataurants within touching distance.

We stayed at Mountain faro for two nights. On arrival, we were greeted warmly and was advised of the possible tours in the area. The room was clean and comfortable and has a great shower. The hotel kindly arranged our visit to the butterfly garden and our transport to the cloud forest. Breakfast was enough, and there was a pot of coffee and chilled juice both mornings. Because we visited the cloud forest our final morning and it was wet we asked if it may be possible to keep the room a little longer to shower and warm up on our return and this wasn't a problem at all. Three restaurants and a small store close by, a slight steep hill to the property, but this is the whole of monteverde!

Nice place. Helpful service. Breakfast is pretty much from 7-9 am. This town has a lot of steep and less than ideal streets and limited parking. The property access requires a steep climb to get to an unpaved street. The property has a wonderful view when it is clear. Simple, clean updated room with nice bathroom and hot shower with good water pressure.

This is located in a quiet neighborhood. This is a family run business.The hostess and her three kids are very courteous and friendly. The breakfast was very good and was made fresh every morning after checking our interests that morning. I strongly recommend staying there if you ever visit Monte Verde.

I booked the Horseback riding, hike in Cloud forest when I called Tripadvisor the man on the phone told me to book this room. I called Lady, who has no clue how to be one. She was very kind and said they only accepted cash. So I went looking for a bank and walked back to pay her but the doors we locked. So I did and tried the next day, surprise the doors were locked, so I called her and she never came back. It was only 80 for 2 night but when I tried to pay her in Colones she kept changing to total. I then said no, I want to pay in US dollars only because she cant take advantage. I asked a couple that was staying next door and they were being overcharge by Lady over transportation that is included in there package. Lady spends ALOT of time running her mouth and not saving anything. She loves to waste time instead of just showing and getting paid. The room had mold and the TV stopped working. When the police arrived they said they were called because I was aggressive and I ask how? Did curse or raise my voice at any point the little brat said its my tone. They sent a little girl to come be the translator and she was dancing in front on my camera as I filmed. Thank God for the other guest that came out and made sure I was okay. Me being me and refusing to let the vile people traumatize me for no reason. On the check out I put the room key in toilet. Lol Do you that I took my group shuttle heading to La Fortuna and Lady radio the drive to stop the shuttle and call the police again. A whole other driver got involve to yell at me while other passengers were there. To hold up everyone else while they yelled in Spanish at me. I assume the police refuse to come out a second time so we proceed to the boat. Smh. I am SO blessed God put the right people around me who literally embraced me and didnt allow anyone to harm me. You dont have to put up with racism, you CAN GET THEM BACK!

The staff is a gem and attentive to our needs. we were only customers since it is rain season. Location is walking distance 250 meters (mostly downhill) to get to outskirts of town.

Stayed in the upstairs bedroom. Plenty of room for a family of six. 2 queen and a bunk bed. FYI, top bunk bed has no rails. Very large shower. Beautiful view from windows. Very comfortable. The breakfast was included. The owner was very helpful and nice. We enjoyed our stay.
