We stayed for 8 nights, 7 days and used this as our "home base" while we explored La Fortuna. We did 4 excursions and 3 rest days. This was the perfect place to come back to after a day of adventure, and the perfect place to relax on our rest days. The staff was lovely and very helpful, especially those in Sura Restaurant. We ate dinner at Sura each night and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. You can tell that they value service and quality. The landscaping on the property is beautiful, and well maintained. The thermal pools were wonderful for soaking after a long hike or adventure. I wiuld highly recommend Volcano Lodge.

Everything was great. Staff was excellent. My only regret is that I never found out that there was an outdoor gym. It was on the map. It would’ve been helpful to get an orientation around the grounds. We were told about the thermal springs and the pool and the restaurant. Had no idea there was an outdoor gym.

The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The restaurant was very good, but the service is a little bit slow so take that into consideration for timing. We booked all our excursions through the hotel and they were all wonderful and as advertised. The location of the hotel is Central for all the excursions. Nothing was more than 25 minutes away. The breakfast included fresh omelettes, Belgian waffles and a wide variety of other options. Consistently good. I would recommend this hotel. Thank you to the staff at the Volcano Lodge for helping make our Costa Rica vacation wonderful.

The staff in this property were very friendly and very nice. And the restaurant was excellent. as where the thermal pools and the swimming pool.. overall the property is good. However, we found the room to be really small and very dated. And the bathroom to be very ordinary. also for the first time, we had a very strange experience where we were told, and there was a sign inside the bathroom that said this, that we should not put the toilet paper into the toilet but into the dustbin next to the toilet. That was really odd…Apart from that, we had a really nice time at the hotel.

The property is too old. The room is too small. Bathroom is old and dirty. Smell. We stayed 4 nights and after 2nd day no one came to cleaning our room or gave us new towels. It's not worth the money. Do not stay here. 2** rated

The Hot Springs were absolutely incredible. Way better than a lot of the other hotels in the area. For that alone, it’s definitely worth it and would recommend. Main reason for the three star over a four star is that there was no hot water, it lasted less than a few minutes for a shower. I have never stayed at a hotel that runs out of hot water in just a few minutes. Luckily it’s Costa Rica so the cold water is not that bad, but nevertheless not super acceptable. Additionally, the room was super dated and the bathroom did not have any ventilation just windows. AC did not get very cold either.
