Very nice place to stay. I chose this place because I thought it was near the cloud reserve for ziplining. It is the closest hotel to Monteverde Cloud Reserve but not the ziplining. It was a 25 min drive for us. Having said that we enjoyed our stay. It is old but the restaurant food is fine and breakfast good. The grounds are well kept. Thanks to Estefan for helping us book our ziplining and hanging bridges.
It is a longer walk to the town, but you have convenience of free breakfast and dinner dining on the property. I loved that it was the closet to the Cloud Forest - we walked to the ticket window! Wonderful garden views from our room. Very peaceful. Staff was very helpful in booking tours for us.
We were very disappointed in our accommodations because our room was very cold. The lodge is an older building and the windows leak so cold air blew in our room all night. We talked to management and they offered us a heater. For the price we paid we should be comfortable in our room. We were staying for two nights but after freezing the first night we wanted a refund for the second and we were told no.The owner/manager we spoke with did not care about our concerns! The breakfast is super cheap. The servings are very small and limited. They need to treat customers fairly.
We found the room to be cold with uncomfortable furniture. We also had a long, steep hike to our room every time (we were the furthest from reception). It was just not the relaxing, comfortable respite we had hoped for.
Nicely appointed corner room but on the cooler side on very windy evenings.
We ate in the dining room all three evenings of our stay and the food and service was excellent. All staff very friendly and helpful.
Very pleasantly stay. All staff try their best to help every guest, the free breakfast has homemade cheese which make the meal so especial! I highly recommend!

I liked the beautiful grounds and proximity to what we wanted to do. I didn’t like the fact there was no place to hang your clothes & we had to keep asking where breakfast would be.
It was amazing!!! The accommodations were wonderful. The service was excellent. The property is about a five min walk from the entrance to Monteverdi forest. The hotel staff are wonderful and extremely helpful in planning outings and tours. The food at the restaurant is fresh and delicious. I cannot say anything bad about our experience at the Trapp hotel.
Dining service was great. Restaurant food is delicious. Front desk staff was friendly. The only thing I’m not happy about is that by adding two kids to the same room reservation for two nights, I had to pay $260 additional - sounds too money hungry and does not make sense!
The staff were really helpful in helping us organise trips and transfers. The view from our room was beautiful. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. It’s a beautiful location!
We had a lovely stay. Very helpful staff. The reception team helped book a last minute guided walk in Monteverder NP. Bar staff were very friendly, even gave us some traditional Costa Rican cooking tips! Big room with a lovely view, when the weather allowed. Breakfast is definitely skewed in favour of those who like eggs! But very nice with fresh fruit and tea/coffee/juice.
Fabulous staff, very kind and helpful. The breakfasts were great and we had a wonderful dinner at the on-site restaurant. It's a 10 - 15 minute walk into the Monteverde Cloud Forest.
It wasn't a problem for us, but there are some steep ramps getting to some of the rooms and from the road to the parking lot. If you have mobility issues, be sure to check with the staff about options.
The breakfasts were delicious! The food in the restaurant was also very good.The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and made great suggestions for activities and local restaurants. Beautiful views from our hotel room!
My stay was amazing! The hotel is beautiful. It has a rustic and cozy vibe. Emmanuel, the bartender was great! A great person to talk to and the drinks were also wonderful. I will definitely be staying here again in the future.
Trapp lodge is very close to cloud forest and is really good. Rooms are not well maintained as carpet smell was strong ( no fan/ventilation) and we had good numbers of bugs coming to room too. Breakfast is limited with preset option servings. Rooms doesn't have coffee machine too.
