Highly recommended!
Loved our stay here. The property is gorgeous, set in a stunning valley. The food was delicious and serving sizes generous. Beatriz and Natalie were friendly, helpful and accommodating. They will help you with tour booking and make recommendations for sights/activities in the area. We weren’t disappointed.

Perfect base of operations for Monteverde
We stayed here three wonderful nights. The staff was amazing—five star attention with many great local recommendations. Breakfast was a highlight—fried eggs, fresh fruit, and the best (homemade) hot sauce we’ve ever had. The Rancho’s dogs were friendly and more interested in scratches from younger travelers than the beautiful birds on the grounds. The cabins have all the necessities—fans for circulation but no need for AC in the cool mountain nights. Rancho de Lelo is the perfect base of operations for Monteverde. The drive into Santa Elena was very manageable, especially since many of the attractions and reservations are spread out anyway.

8/10 Very good

Very beautiful family run ranch. Atmosphere was friendly and grounds were beautiful. Our only issue was the distance to town… it is a good 30 min drive and if you don’t have a car that’s $20-25 each way.

Beautiful and nice place, so quiet. Very friendly family owner. Delicious breakfast and dinner. Just one thing, when you come ask about pool. When we stay, pool doesn’t work.

Amazing family-run oasis!
Rancho de Lelo is a gem and makes a great base for exploring Monteverde. The Mata family are amazing hosts and the rooms and food are lovely. Would recommend a 4x4 for the drive in though!

We loved our two night stay with our young children (5, 4 & 2). The staff were fantastic, really friendly and welcoming and gave great advice and tips about the local area and things to do. The food was absolutely delicious at both breakfast and dinner. It had a real family vibe and felt like we were welcomed into their family too. The lodges were great, good size, and clean. They were set in a really beautiful location and we saw lots of hummingbirds and butterflies from our balcony at the room. I would highly recommend a stay here!

Rancho de Lelo Ecolodge is a family owned small lodge, located about 20 minutes from the main area of Monte Verde. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay with this charming family. The National Park is only 10-15 minutes drive. The farm to table cuisine was awesome. Highly recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay at Rancho de Lelo. Family-owned, quiet, peaceful, with beautiful surroundings and nicely appointed, clean rooms. Beatriz and her family are a delight and we felt right at home. We enjoyed watching motmots and toucans from our balcony while having coffee in the morning! Breakfast was fresh and delicious with fruits from the garden. Dinner was incredible, too! My daughter loved and dogs and my kids really appreciated the pool. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Beautiful location in the Monteverde area. Rainbows everywhere. Run by a lovely family. We were traveling with our toddler and they let her help catch the fish from the little pond for dinner (which was delicious!).
