Terrible, 2 weeks ago

Horrible stay. - there are NO VIEWS. The post is using photos that are several years old before a building was built a couple of years ago. This is misleading and done on purpose because I’m not the first to complain as you can see in other reviews. - the garage door sensor doesn’t work and while I was backing in it shut closed on my vehicle, damaging it. I have dashcam video and a bystanders video. Host refuses to compensate and said it was “laughable.” I don’t find it funny. - horrible mold smell. Like really bad. I have to go to a laundromat to wash everything bc it all smells moldy coming out of the unit. - power outages and unresponsive host. Pitch dark, no lights, no nothing. - Hot tub is not hot. It’s like warm and there’s no adjustments available to the guest All in all, not a pleasant stay and not a pleasant host

This place was amazing it was located off the main road and had one of the best food spots right on the corner. It’s about 15 minutes from the main little town in La Fortuna but the views and the drive were incredible. The villa was gated and private I felt safe my entire stay it was also very peaceful and relaxing. I loved the touch of the glass in the bathroom felt extremely secured and the villa was overall very well maintained. I would definitely stay here again and again. There was a full kitchen so with a stove, fridge, microwave, and toaster oven. There was also a washer and dryer the entire place was 10/10. If you’re American just know your Netflix and other streaming services will not work if you’re streaming from your phone to the projector so bring a iPad or laptop to watch your stuff on.

Excellent place, small but with everything you need to have a good time. Quiet and relaxed! Definitely recommended!

Easy check in and check out I booked after checkin and it was still available for me. Sebastian did clarify there is no volcano view and there is a two story apartment building in front. I think the pictures should be updated for the listing. The rest is as described. Parking was a bit annoying because the front is shared and this was the third house so I had to squeeze by the other cars. The other part was that the villa was not cold throughout the night. The AC worked but idk why it was warm/hot in the room, I presume the misaligned sliding door is letting air out. There was a washer and drier so that was nice. You can definitely hear and something see your neighbors as the patio is in the front of the homes.

We had a bizarre experience with this host. The pictures clearly showed that a beautiful view of Arenal (volcano) was promised, but upon arrival it turned out that the view was not there. There is a large two-story building opposite – the photos were taken before the building was there. We assumed this was a nature house on the edge of an open field overlooking the volcano. When we reported this and asked for a refund, he became very unfriendly and pushy. He even called us scammers! Fortunately, AirBNB helped us, and we got some of our money back. In addition, privacy: the bed is in a room with large open windows for the so-called "view." But people are looking inside your place. There is no sheer curtain, only a 100% light-blocking curtain. Not really cozy then. The place was otherwise nice, but mostly a lot of looks and a lot of money for a view that is no longer there.
