It was quiet friendly and really walkable, older and very basic rooms but clean .
Noeleen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great setting and service, but run-down facility

Jaguarundi resembles staying at a summer camp--beautiful setting, but the facility is run-down and not well maintained. The hotel is set in the woods and there is a 1 km hiking trail where I saw coatis, agoutis, and several colorful birds. But the room charm ends with the wood paneling in the rooms--there was no heat or extra blankets in my room, the toilets didn't flush well, the showers ran out of hot water easily, and the light fixtures were rusted. The property is extremely hilly and, if you're not in the main lodge, is difficult to navigate if you're unfit or have heavy bags. The service was GREAT! Manfred was a huge help in terms of explaining the facility and helping me plan activities while I was in Monteverde. The property isn't worth what they charge per night, but if you're looking for a summer camp vibe in Monteverde for a couple of nights with really good service, this place works.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this hotel! I was apprehensive after reading a few of the reviews, but after staying here, I couldn’t be happier to report this is the place to stay! Quaint rustic cabins, tucked in the jungle with monkeys, coati, agouti & motmots right outside your door. If you’re planning a stay in Monteverde, you won’t be disappointed with Jaguarundi!

Jungle nature immersion

Perfect place in the forest. Feels very nature everywhere you walk. Nice path to go breakfast up the hill. So relaxing. Bathroom a bit outdated but clean overall.

Great location in Monteverde

Perfect location very central in Monte Verde. Very helpful reception. Easy parking. Nice breakfast and a good bar /restaurant where you Can Watch the sunset.
Jesper, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Jaguarundi was a real disappointment on our trip. We had booked a superior cabin at an expensive rate. The cabin was basic and unclean with dirt on the walls and in the bathroom. The mattresses were poor quality and were dirty, as was the bed linen. There were also dangerous concrete paths to get to the cabins which were steep and slippy. The one & only redeeming factor about this place is its location next to Santa Elena. I would not recommend this as a place to stay.
Derek, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazing place

Amazing place right near the centre of Santa elena but also out the way. Bit annoying that breakfast was a 5 minute walk up hill. Saw agouti from our room. Suspension bridge is fun. Staff very friendly
CHLOE, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very wonderful property. On our first morning there, we woke to the sounds of the howler monkeys! I saw a few on the property. We saw lots of wildlife, which is what we had been hoping for. The trails are beautiful. It felt very safe and the staff was wonderful. There is an easy walk to town for restuarants and shopping. This property was absolutely amazing!
Jodie, 2-night trip

Beautiful property tucked into the jungle. There was plenty of wildlife in and around the property at all times of the day. Would stay here again.

Beautiful stay!

The location of the hotel is very nice. Everything is quite walkable distance from the room. The whole ambience of the hotel is amazing. Felt like living in the jungle. Absolutely brilliant and soothing. The room was quiet spacious however the bathroom was a bit small. Overall an amazing stay!

In town jungle lodge

We loved the lodge but there was no initial information about the lack of a restaurant on the property. They referred us to the lodge on the adjoining property and it was okay, but quite a ways up the hill (walking, dark at night). Although the lodge is "in town", it was quiet and easy to get to. Looking out from our porch, it did feel and look like we were in the jungle.
Susan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Not bad

Nice room with cabin feeling. If you have lots of luggage you will need help getting up the hill to your room. Hot water doesn’t last long in the shower. Free breakfast and close to town.
Thanakorn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you like to stay in a well equipped lodge this is it. The room had large windows which overlooked the greenery and vegetation outside. No ac and tv. So you could hear every sound from the surrounding trees. Very good experience and best breakfast buffet.
Thejaswi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Jaguarund is the perfect jungle lodge nestled in the forest next to town. There is a lot of wildlife and trails you can hike on site. Ana and Menado were very helpful and nice. The breakfast is delicious, especially the home made marmalade. It's hard to beat this place for a mix of jungle and convenience! I’ll definitely be back
