United Kingdom, December 2022

the free guided bird walk at La Selva Biological Station in Sarapiqui was a highlight of my stay - the experienced guide helped me identify so many species. The room had a nice balcony with bird sounds, and the open-air dining hall was a great spot for bird-watching too.

No double beds, only bunk beds.

I stayed at La Selva Biological Station for a week as a nature enthusiast. The setting in the rainforest was amazing, with concrete trails that exceeded my expectations. The staff were personable and helpful, and the reception even had souvenirs for sale. The guided birdwatching tour was excellent, and having coffee readily available at the dining hall was a bonus. The location couldn't be beat, surrounded by diverse wildlife and the rooms were comfortable with spacious bathrooms.

100% Recommend this hotel.

Great wildlife, clean facilities, friendly staff, delicious cafeteria food, variety of walking trails.

Beautiful hanging bridge, many walking trails with rare bird species. Simple room with hot shower, comfortable stay. Amazing location, saw sloths, monkeys, ocelot, reptiles. Healthy, tasty, and vegetarian food options. Inside tropical forest, calm place with great naturalist guide.
