Home in Costa Rica

We had a wonderful stay and wish we had booked this property from the beginning. The location was perfect—walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, and other conveniences, yet it still felt like we were surrounded by the beauty of the Costa Rican jungle. We saw plenty of wildlife while feeling safe and secure throughout our stay. The home was very clean, well maintained, and stocked with everything our family needed. The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodated us on very short notice after we unexpectedly needed a new place to stay. Being located on the main highway also meant much more reliable power than the more remote properties in the area, which gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and an authentic jungle experience.

The accommodation is very beautiful ,but not suitable for children . and the accommodation and right next to the main road. Not very relaxing

Le logement et très beau ,mais pas adapté au enfants . et le logement et juste à côté de la route principale . Pas très reposant

This place is stunning. Everything super easy and the location to the beach is perfect. I’ll be going back ASAP!

Great house in a great area. Close to the most beautiful beaches and with supermarket and lots of restaurants around

Great for kids and families, friends couples, anyone who would like to spend a peaceful and relaxing time in the Caribbean. You cannot go wrong with this listing.

Great place. Quiet with great location close to the beach. Ideal for family rest

Excelente lugar. Tranquilo con excelente ubicación cerca de la playa. Ideal para descansar en familia

The house is nice and comfortable. It is very close to one of the most beautiful beaches in the area that you reach from the house by a path that is made in 5 minutes and you see monkeys, macaws. The truth has been a success.

La casa es linda y cómoda. Está muy cerca de una de las playas más bonitas de la zona a la que se llega desde la casa por un camino que se hace en 5 min y se ven monos, guacamayas. la verdad que ha sido un acierto.

The Bodhi house is a lovely oasis in the perfect location. Especially for dining. We had some of our favorite meals from our entire trip there. Pura Gula was a standout and merely steps away from the front gate. We slept very well despite being close to a somewhat busy road. Having a private pool to cool off was the absolute best. We loved it so much and hope to return.

Amazing Experience: Emma is a great communicator and absolutely diligent in answering every question & fixing any issues (the ones I got over a one-month stay were very light- the property is really cared for). Great location close to the beach + little food market + excellent restaurant across the street (Pura Gula!) + gorgeous garden + immaculate place. The pictures give ABSOLUTELY justice to the place. I was not disappointed! Truly a special place with truly special people! (Please note that it is close to the road, so one can hear some cars/noise).

Starting with the good: Bodhi house is beautiful, and the property is really wonderful (especially the pool). Communication with the hosts was excellent -- they were prompt and responsive, and attentive to concerns. Going purely off of "what it is", this would be a 5 star property. However, I was closer to giving a 3 star rating than 5, because there were a few shortfalls/inconsistencies that probably would have changed our decision to stay here, if we had known. First, the property description says 1.5 bathrooms; there is only 1 bathroom. We were a party of 3 (in 2 "groups") so we really wanted 2 bathrooms and settled for the 1.5...only to find that it wasn't. The bathroom the house does have is massive, spacious, comfortable, all great...but it's one toilet and one shower in the house, with no half bath. Second, the description was 150m from the beach. The property is on the beach side of the main road, and very close to the beach. It's certainly possible that in a straight line it is in fact 150m. But we were thinking of 150m as a maybe two minute walk, and that was specifically our criteria for choosing our stay (we wanted to be able to pop in/out with ease, and picked this over a beachfront location at another beach). In fact, you have to exit the property, then take a somewhat winding road + path down to the beach; all in all it is more of a 5-7 minute trip. This seems like splitting hairs...it is very close to the beach and the walk is nice! But it isn't as "on top of" the beach as we thought from even the comments of other reviewers. Third, the internet was non-functional for the duration of our stay, for any reasonable purposes. Internet in Puerto Viejo is notoriously unreliable, and I don't blame the hosts or the house for this. But the router extension from the main house (which has fibre optic internet, which should be reliable) could not support basic internet tasks (like loading a photo or video) for much of the stay, and when more than one device was connected, there may as well have not been internet. The hosts were very responsive on this issue and tried their best, but were limited in their ability to solve it over a weekend. If you go not expecting internet, this is not a problem, but we went expecting to be able to do a day of work and had to rent an office at the local co-working space instead. Again, with those caveats noted...the place is really lovely, the hosts are great, and we would stay again (and even book the other houses on the property together, for a larger group), but these three factors would have impacted our decision to stay this time, so it doesn't seem right to go higher than 4, and it's good to be aware of all 3 things if you're contemplating staying here, and going in with the right expectation!

Communication was great and the location was nice.

We felt welcome from the very beginning. We were in touch all the time via message. The friendlinesswas amazing, though we never met, unfortunately. The house was as described. The kitchen is well equipped and the supermarket just around the corner. Tipps were given where to dine out and the recommendation and the food was exceptional. The nature around us was amazing, macaws flew in the morning and evening, we saw toucan and other birds, guatusa came to visit. Howler monkey sound in the morning. The pool area is amazing and met our needs. So thankful for this special week.

Great location and cute space! The hosts were very responsive and resolved any questions or concerns we had very promptly.

A awesome place with great jungle feeling. Beautiful house with nice design, a big kitchen and a great outdoor area. It was everything clean and we never had problems to contact paola & Emma & Elena. It was perfect and we would do it again for sure!

This villa lives up to its Zen name. New build, Modern, spacious, clean and we loved the garden and outdoor setting area. A short walk to the beach and the small pool was perfect for refreshing.

A bar of soap is like $1 and when asked to be provided what is consider standard in all Airbnbs the hosts mentioned that such service was " not included". I assume $1 is worth more to them than a bad review so here it goes: The place is nice and in a great location although would not equate the value to the actual delivery/quality of the house. The house was clearly built for a tourism rental market because it is not really fitted for someone living there. The quality of the bedding, kitchen appliances (no microwave, no air conditioning in living room) and other details in the house do not match those of what would be expected in that price range. The shower has almost no pressure. Additionally, as mentioned, the customer service was lacking. Other than that, the location is superb, walking distance to the beach and the property is nice, with a shared pool with the next door house.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the property. The location is perfect, the garden beautiful and the house very modern and clean. Check-in was super straightforward. We will be happy to come back. Thank you!

Wir hatten einen wundervollen und erholsamen Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft. Die Lage ist perfekt, der Garten wunderschön und das Haus sehr modern und sauber. Der Check in war super unkompliziert. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Danke!

A beautiful place and close to many beaches and destinations, close to the main route and the beach.

Un lugar bonito y cerca de muchas playas y destinos, cerca de la ruta principal y la playa.

Nice villas, well located. Zinnia responded to all our concerns in a timely manner.

Lindas villas, bien ubicadas. Zinnia respondió a todas nuestras inquietudes a tiempo.

Lovely villas near the beach! Would definitely recommend and would return for another trip. Zinnia was an incredible host and made our stay very enjoyable! She was extremely helpful with organizing transportation and had great tips for things to do nearby.

Check in was horrible, we arrived about 6:30 pm so it was dark. The manager was to busy at the gym to meet us. We had to get directions from her over the phone and work padlocks in the dark. The next day a young man showed up to show us unit. We asked for washcloths because there were non, he brought us hand towels that smelled. He did not know how to work the safe and told us he did not have a key or the combination so we were unable to secure our passports and money. We Expressed our concern that there were only two chairs in the living room for us to sit in when in fact there were three of us and the unit shows that it accommodates four people. On the second day the smell coming out of the unit was horrendous when we called the manager she did not answer after several several phone calls with no response the young man was walking through the grounds. We told him about the odor and he said that it was mothballs up in the roof and there was nothing he could do about it.  When we finally ran into the manager she said she would look into it and that same young gentleman showed up with air fresheners, the smell was now a mix of air freshener and moth balls. Everything we own stinks now. The guests in the unit next to ours had the same problem with the smell and had complained to the manager with no results.  As far as the pool there are no chairs or lounge chairs to lay around the pool. And last but not least the beds were like sleeping on a hard floor. As far as the area we would definitely go here again but we will not be returning to this rental. It was so disappointing because after reading all the reviews it was a huge disappointment

Shawn was the most challenging guest we have ever had in Zen Villas - Bodhi house, she never answered our intents of contact (we have proof of this on this platform) we tried SMS, normal call, skype call, WhatsApp call and text message and she never answered.  Our terms and conditions are very clear, when a guest rents one of our houses must let us know about their check in plans, they must notify us about their arrival plans and approximate time of arrival; that way we can wait for them at the house.   We never had problems with our guest finding the place because we always send them a location pin for them to find it, we do this first through an email, which was sent to Shawn on January 31st, she never replied to that email. We normally send that location pin again the day of our clients arrival, but again, due to the lack of communication with Shawn it was not possible.   They arrived to a Hotel who fortunately are our partners and then they called us to let us know they were there. She justified that she was unable to use the phone during her travel, but when I asked the hotel receptionist to tell her that I was trying to contact her, she called me immediately from her phone, and drove to the property while we were talking, which means that she was able to use it.   I explained her that because she didn't let us know of her arrival I wasn't close, but I was going to guide her to enter the house and then some of us was going to meet her to receive her properly as we always do with our clients.   I was concern because she seemed not to understand simple things like opening a Keybox, and even more when she asked me "what was inside the Keybox?"...  Once they were settled in I finished the call. After that she was quite for a while but then she started to call very often to complain about things that are clear in the propertie's advertisement, like the amount of beds. She wanted to take the chairs of the property next to them, we said it was not possible and then she was complaining for another thing, and kept going, we checked on everything that she complained about and took care of it, about the chairs, kitchen has 4 chairs 2 smalls sofas, there are also 2 terrace chairs, two hammocks, that completes the space for 4.   She mentions that the guest of the next unit complaint about smells but they never did, actually this was a "walk in reservation" and they checked the house before renting it, they wouldn't have rent the house if there was such a thing. They manifest they were happy when they left, and that they will come back again.   What I feel sorry about is that I noticed Shawn and her companions were very disrespectful, I was there checking on the garden and their laughs and screams were earable in the whole property, and it is a 5000mts property!   As she said by herself, we have very good reviews in this properties, because of it's quality, beds have orthopedic high quality mattresses, every element thought for the guest to have the best experience. Our team and ourselves are always available to fix the most minimum issue, we did all that we could to make her stay relaxing and pleasant.

Great location, steps from the beach.  Great space, well appointed and clean

Lugar único en cuanto a estilo y estadía.

We had a wonderful stay. The communication and handling were great and the accommodation is a dream, very clean, the beach almost at your doorstep and supermarket as well as restaurants are very easy to reach on foot. Highly recommended ☺️

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt. Die Kommunikation und das Handling waren top und die Unterkunft ist ein Traum, sehr sauber, dee Strand fast vor der Haustüre und Supermarkt als auch Restaurants sind sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Nur zu empfehlen ☺️

The house is even nicer than the pictures. It is fully equipped and clean, and is very safe. Zinnia was helpful at all times and recommended many things to do. The surroundings of the house are safe and beautiful.

La casa es aún más bonita que en las fotos. Está totalmente equipada y limpia, además es muy segura. Zinnia nos ayudó en todo momento y nos recomendó muchas cosas por hacer. Los alrededores de la casa son seguros y bonitos.

Loved staying here! Really was perfect and was in a great location.

Gorgeous place in an ideal location. Zannia and the staff were fantastic throughout.

My stay at the Bodhi House was exceptional. Check-in and communication with the managers of the property was super easy. The house and grounds are beautiful and very well kept. I also couldn’t ask for a better location. I was a quick walk to the beach and a short car or bike ride from town. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would book again in a heartbeat.

My group of 10 reserved Zen and Bodhi house for our 4-night stay in Puerto Viejo. Communication after booking and before arriving was simple and timely. Property manager can help you book excursions, and even arrange for a rental car to be delivered to the house. Houses and grounds were very clean and secure. There are going to be bugs - you’re in the jungle after all! Great restaurants nearby including Gula right across the street. Pool isn’t heated and was too cold to swim at night in October. Only the bedrooms are air conditioned, and the rest of the rooms have screen windows and fans to help with air flow. Only bummer was the pool and lawn lights weren’t working for our stay. There are two pools on property so even if you don’t reserve all three houses you can still have a private pool. Super short walk to a fairly secluded beach. Maid service came once during our stay and cleaned everything nicely. I recommend getting a rental car or renting bikes to get to town. Note there is no shampoo/conditioner - BYO toiletries! All around a fantastic find. I would certainly stay here again!

My best friend and I came here and had an absolute wonderful stay. We were greeted by Marcos, Paola’s partner, via WhatsApp. He met us at the grocery store across the street and led us to our little bungalow. It was absolutely immaculate, the beds were incredibly comfy and the place spotless. Really good air-conditioning in the bedrooms, the main room doesn’t have air-conditioning, but honestly it’s not really needed because there’s a great cross breeze. We were lucky in that we didn’t have any neighbors staying at the time so it’s nice and peaceful and quiet and we have the pool to ourselves. The beach is maybe at most a four minute walk. I would recommend walking down to the wildlife reserve just about 2 miles away. We had a problem with the lights in the pool, we text Marcos and he had someone out literally within 10 minutes come. It’s a great spot, away from the super touristy places but still within walking distance to a few really good restaurants. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place with a small shared pool, AC in the bedrooms (not kitchen/living room), there is a large house on the property with its own pool and can be quite noisy if a family with kids is there. Great market across the street and bicycle rental just 50 meters away.
