Beautiful! Impeccable, intimate and quiet, it gets all its charm from its natural environment and its river.  Our hosts were perfect, and their little touches (i.e., changing towels, cleaning, but especially the fresh eggs) enhanced our stay.  We would recommend it in a second!

Magnifique!  Impeccable, intime et tranquille, il prend tout son charme grâce à son environnement naturel et sa rivière.  Nos hôtes ont été parfaits et leurs petites attentions (ie changement de serviettes, ménage mais surtout les œufs frais) ont agrémenté notre séjour.  Nous recommandons sans hésitation!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house is beautiful, very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and incredibly welcoming. From the moment we arrived, we truly felt at home. The host was one of the best we’ve ever had. He was always available, gave us fantastic local tips and recommendations, and responded to every message almost immediately. His hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. The property itself is gorgeous, with a creek, a beautiful pool, and a peaceful natural setting. Our house also had a hot tub, which we enjoyed every evening after spending the day exploring all the wonderful attractions nearby. It was the perfect way to relax and end each day. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we truly hope to come back soon. Thank you for such a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

Amazing place to stay. Was very comfortable and well maintained. Very good communication and helpful

This is a beautiful villa! It felt very safe and quiet. The hot tub was a huge plus on rainy afternoons and the gardens are gorgeous. A small market is nearby for necessities. The AC was powerful and we were always comfortable! They even had two mid-stay housecleaning visits, which was so nice. She even did the dishes for us! Fresh eggs from the farm and super cute animals to visit. Their dog is just a doll. We would definitely stay again.

I highly recommend this place! It was incredibly clean, spacious, and well-organized. The owners are wonderful and very respectful. As a small note, it's about 15 minutes away from La Fortuna by car, but it wasn't a problem since there's a convenient supermarket nearby for anything you might need. We loved our stay

Our stay here was truly one of the highlights of our trip to La Fortuna. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly well maintained, but what made it so special were the little moments we experienced as a family. Every morning, we would sit by the little river with a cup of coffee, listening to the sound of the water and enjoying the tranquility before starting our day. It quickly became our favorite spot to relax and take in the beauty of Costa Rica. For our children, though, the absolute highlight of every morning was finding Milo, the sweet farm dog. They would wake up excited to go look for him so they could pet him, give him lots of love, and spend time playing together. Milo became such a special part of our vacation and created memories our kids will talk about for years. The hosts have created such a warm and welcoming place that feels like so much more than just an Airbnb. We left with wonderful memories and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Hi Cindy! Wow! Beautiful review! Thank you so much, we are very happy that you and your family had a great time! Blessings family!

We loved our stay here!  We loved the jungle like setting. Our daughter enjoyed the animals (especially the goats) and we all enjoyed the farm fresh eggs. The home was clean and the beds were comfortable. I wish we would’ve had more time to spend here as I would’ve loved to spend an afternoon in one of the hammocks by the creek! I felt like this was a real Costa Rican experience, much more so than a resort!

Nice place, relaxing, hot tub surrounded by a beautiful garden in a river or stream running through. I would recommend a little bit better signage out front. The Google kept taking us to the Neighbor’s house.  Also, if you’re thinking you’re gonna to have a view of volcano from a location you do not. Lastly, you are probably about 15 minutes from La fortuna. Ultimately  was a nice quiet, peaceful place to relax.

Beautiful place for a couples getaway. It is quiet and surrounded by nature. Hosts were super responsive. I’d stay here again if I’m in the area.

Magdi’s place was a perfect balance of beautiful surroundings, nice amenities (hot tub and pool), and short drive to La Fortuna and other activities. She was so helpful and kind to our family of 5 with 3 adventurous boys! Highly recommend!

Beautiful place! The landscaped grounds behind the house will make you feel like you are in a luxury resort.  A little drive to get to LaFortuna (9km), but not too bad. Fresh eggs and coffee provided.

Magdi's place was lovely! The garden was beautiful, and my kids especially loved the animals and getting fresh eggs every morning. The location was great too- away from the centre of the city but close enough to lots of attractions and activities. Thank you for a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay here & truly enjoyed every minute of it. The house was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. It’s a great size, & the kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need. One of the nicest touches was the farm-fresh eggs waiting for us in the kitchen - such a thoughtful welcome. The best feature of the house is the hot tub. Soaking in it at the end of a fantastic day was amazing, & the surrounding foliage makes the experience even more special. The tub is partially covered, so when the rainforest rain starts, you get the perfect balance of feeling the rain while staying warm in the water - a really memorable experience. The property itself is beautiful, with so many plants & trees that make it lovely to walk around. There’s a small stream running alongside the property, which became one of our favorite coffee spots in the morning. Overall, this is a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay, and we would happily come back again.

We loved our stay at Bukala Village!  The gardens and the creek was absolutely beautiful!!! We also made friends immediately with the goats and chickens. The bunnies were adorable. Must have been seven baby bunnies when we were there.  The beds were comfortable and the living area in kitchen. We’re just perfect.! We highly recommend, especially if you appreciate the beauty of nature!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to us. We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay and felt comfortable in our home. You are always welcome back — it would be a pleasure to host you again!

Magda’s place is exactly as described and the phots don’t do justice. Even though our time in La Fortuna was short, it was absolutely beautiful and it all met and exceeded our expectations. My family and I enjoyed our stay and hope to stay at Magdi’s place again on our next vacation to La Fortuna. Thanks Magdi PURA VIDA! ♥️

Hi Sopheia! I am very happy that you enjoyed! Thank you for take your time to do amazing comment ! You always will be welcome Pura vida

I can't say enough wonderful things about the farm. From the comfortable beds, to the cleanliness, to the beautiful surroundings, clean hot tub, quick and kind responsiveness, fresh eggs, the list goes on. Everything Magdi has done, she has succeeded at to make this place feel like home away from home, making sure you have everything you need to have a comfortable stay. I had the most wonderful time here and will be back, as well as recommending it to everyone who asks where to go in Costa Rica!

Dear Amber ! I am very happy that you enjoyed our place ! I really appreciate your comment , it is my best reward!

Magdi's place was beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable! She was very communicative, making sure if we needed anything like housekeeping and recommendations. The place was pristine, secluded, and just a 15 minute drive from La Fortuna. Highly recommend!

Thank you Alexis for your stay! Come back soon

We really enjoyed our stay here! Location was a bit out of town but the property was beautiful and a lovely get away. The host was very responsive and helpful with any questions or needs we had!

We would highly recommend this place to any family or friends traveling to the area! The property was very clean and absolutely beautiful, and our kids loved exploring the farm and playing in the creek. Meeting Max & Ingrid was a highlight for our family. Max was so friendly and incredibly helpful, especially in guiding us through our first time in Costa Rica. He did a fantastic job setting us up with activities for our family, including a cooking class, night walks, hot springs, and a coffee/chocolate tour. This was a truly wonderful stay and one we won’t forget!

Dear Meg! You always will be welcome! Come back soon

Other than the beautiful garden, hammock and peaceful creek in the backyard,  I was not impressed with the property. It appears a lot bigger on the listing than in person. It’s very clean and safe because it comes with an alarm, automatic gate and a house manger on the grounds at all times. But, there’s no closet, not enough space in master bathroom or bedroom and not worth the price in my opinion. If you’re looking for a rural, county location with a mini farm, shared pool and minimal shared laundry area then this is the right location for you. But if you’re looking for something with space, features and things to do close by, this is not it. Please also inquire about the rules when it comes to flushing toilet paper down the toilet, this is important to know before you stay. The jacuzzi is a nice touch and the decorations.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the garden, hammock, creek and jacuzzi. We’re sorry some areas didn’t meet your expectations, and we’d like to clarify a few points for future guests: •The home includes a large walk-in closet, visible in the listing photos. • The listing also states the exact square meters of construction for an accurate idea of the space. • Regarding the “minimal shared laundry,” the property offers a full washer and dryer for guest use. We aim for full transparency, and many guests find the layout comfortable for a rural getaway. We appreciate your visit and your comments and wish you the best in your future travels.

Absolutely beautiful. Everything was intuitive, comfortable, functional. Great location, has a shop at the street corner, very quiet area just you and nature - absolutely perfect, relaxing.. can’t say enough positive things about it!

We truly loved our stay. It was 2 adults and one child. The place was plenty big. The staff were incredibly friendly and responsive when needed, they brought farm fresh eggs daily to us If we didn't get them ourselves. They were helpful with finding food, recommendations and assisting in other ways as needed. We would easily recommend this place, especially for families, I believe they have 4 or 5 units total. It would be great to go with the group and reserve the whole place. We went during the rainy season. I think we saw 1 or 2 other guests there. The entire time, even at the shared swimming pool, we were never in the pool with someone else. It was really peaceful and beautiful.

Magdi’s place was wonderful! The house was incredibly clean and had so many great amenities. The farm, the river/stream, the grounds, hot tub, pool… I can keep going! There are 4 other houses but each one is very private so it feels like your own little oasis. Max was awesome too - he helped with anything we needed and answered very quickly! Oh and the fresh eggs were such a nice touch - they were perfect for breakfast! Thank you again for your hospitality!

Great and comfortable place, fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook, comfortable beds, beautiful garden outside, Max helped us a lot with everything we needed. You can get cleaning every other day which is great. Thanks for everything (including the wonderful eggs) Highly recommend the place

Thanks again for staying! It was great having you here — you were a fantastic guest. Wishing you safe travels and all the best!

We loved the pool, farm, creek, hammocks and vegetation. Everything was very clean. Easy check-in and check-out. There's a great pizza place a couple of minutes away. There's a shared washer and dryer that is free to use. And there were pool towels.

We had an incredible stay! We would come back again....so quiet and relaxing even with all of the rain. Max was very responsive when we had questions. We loved the fresh eggs daily, cleaning service every other day, the grounds to explore, the farm, the pool, and sitting in our spa on the covered patio in the rain was a highlight as well.

Nature surrounding fun quirky comfort. Incredible experience! So well thought out and perfectly executed. As the adult I appreciated the design and ergonomics of the home and village plan. My kids just went  just enjoying all! Creek, pool, hot tub, trails,  FARM!! fresh egg gathering! cutest goats in Central America! All close enough yet far enough from town. Staff is amazing!

Thank you Troy!!! We enjoy have amaizing families like you!

Loved our stay! The place was beautiful and while isolated and private; there was a market/ corner store right up the road and 15-20min away from so many activities, restaurants and shops! Highly recommend!

Beautiful property, we loved the hot tub during rainy season!

Just as advertised. Beautiful home, grounds, and amenities. Would recommend!

This was such an incredible stay, La Fortuna is rich in peace, life, nature and the stay absolutely embodied that. We felt safe, and treated like we were part of the family. The only glitch we had was we arrived late and it was dark,  service was in and out, Waze sent us to one spot and Google to another (this is a common issue in all of C.R) so because of privacy of the place we wanted to make sure we were in the right place before entering down the road and boom they were so quick to answer and make sure we were okay and that we found the stay which we did shortly after. Everytime we may of had a question for anything the team was so quick to attend to us and make sure our stay was 110%. The aesthetics were amazing, the pool, the farm (we got eggs to go 🥚), the small stream, backyard area, everything was just perfect, we couldn’t ask for a better stay.

Thank you Edwin ! You were fantastic guests ! Please come back soon!

Just a beautiful place inside and outside. Max was fantastic.  The property fantastic, peaceful and very clean.  Fresh eggs were another bonus.  Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay here, Max was very kind and helpful! The property was clean and well maintained, and our kids loved saying hello to the farm animals each morning. We enjoyed the peacefulness of this location while still being accessible to downtown La Fortuna. Thanks!

Max came to introduce himself at the gate and gave a tour of the property. Safe and peaceful. Welcomed with fresh eggs from the farm. Great place to stay.

We greatly enjoyed our time at this Airbnb. The beds were really comfortable and the private hot tub was nice to enjoy in the evening when it was finally cool enough. The highlight of this place are the beautiful pathways to walk and enjoy the flowers, the nice shared swimming pool, hammocks by the creek and farm (our kids really enjoyed visiting the goats each day!) Max was responsive and welcoming, and brought over a high chair when we requested one. Overall, it didn't feel too far from La Fortuna (a 15 minute drive) for restaurants/activities etc. Please take the time to stop at Picpra Coffee (look it up on Google Maps) for a delicious drink and say hello to Alberto, who has recently opened up this little shop with unparalleled views of the volcano!

So peaceful and so beautiful! Hosts were so friendly and responsive. The surroundings are phenomenal. Recommended for sure!

This rental was exactly as pictured. It was nice to have a pool on site for my kids and we weren’t a long drive to Arenal and la fortuna.

We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.  The farm animals and the outdoor area was fun to walk around and experience. We really enjoyed the fresh eggs. It was about a 15-20 minute drive to get to the central town area of La Fortuna.

Beautiful grounds, helpful/kind hosts. A short drive from downtown Fortuna but easily accessible with a rental car.

What a special place! Loved the private hot tub with this unit. They left us farm fresh eggs for breakfast that my kids absolutely loved. Really peaceful place. Would highly recommended if looking for a very quiet private place short distance away from La fortuna

This place was a gem hidden just outside of La Fortuna about 15 minutes.  Quiet, peaceful, comfortable beds, and clean!  The hosts were terrific at answering questions and offering help and recommendations. This will not disappoint!

We had a very enjoyable time at the unit and exploring the area. The place is immaculate in a beautiful setting. Loved having fresh eggs everyday and the property manager Max was always available and gave helpful advice on things to do and places to eat. Had a fantastic time relaxing in the gardens, pool and hot tub after a busy day of sightseeing.

We had a lovely stay; unit was very comfortable for our party of 4 adults.  Communication was top notch, I really appreciate Max's responsiveness and helpfulness, he is very professional in his approach.  Accommodations were new and very modern, and very secure (gated and home had an alarm system).  Host even provided cleaning every 2nd day as well as complimentary fresh eggs from their tiny farm.  Grounds were beautiful and relaxing; the pool and hot tub were a welcome bonus.  There is a small grocery store less than 2-minute drive away and several restaurants nearby.  The town of La Fortuna is about a 15-minute drive.  Would highly recommend!

We had a great visit at Magdalena’s house in la fortuna.

Magdalena’s place it lovely. We felt right at home. Everything is clean and tidy, and the house is well provisioned. My only complaint would be the laundry facilities. La Fortuna is a rainy and muddy place, and with two young kids, we had a lot of dirty laundry. We were aware that the facilities were shared among all of the houses, but we were not aware that they are only available from 7 am to 6 pm, exactly the hours most people are out exploring. We spent two of our mornings at the house just so we could do laundry. Fortunately, the kids had fun in the pool and hot tub while we waited. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

great hosts and very good communicators. we got a great deal

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 13 and 9 year old children) had a fantastic stay here. Max reached out to us within an hour of us booking our stay. He helped us plan 3 excursions. Each was amazing, with guides that genuinely cared for their area of expertise. He also recommended restaurants and other areas to explore. We loved the beautiful grounds and pool.  So much thought and care went into the surroundings. The farm was such a sweet surprise. The unit was so clean and we all enjoyed the private hot tub. We really hope to return someday. Pura Vida!

Such a beautiful place.  We loved exploring the tropical garden and creek with our little kids.  The pool and hot tub were also perfect for when it was warm.  Also loved saying hi to the animals and the fresh eggs for breakfast.

Amazing! Pristinely clean and just gorgeous property set up perfectly with everything you need! Max was amazing and so helpful living on the property plus we really appreciated his restaurant suggestion and reservation, always prompt response and very friendly manner. Absolutely beautiful set up right down to the gardens, walking path and pool! Highly recommend especially if you are a clean freak - it was spotless!!!

Judy ! Thank you for your amazing comment ! I am very happy for your words ! You always will be welcome at our place ! Best regards Murillo family Max, Stephanie and Magdalena.

This place is magical! A comfortable, well kept home on a small farm with a lovely pool. We regularly saw iguanas and birds. Beautiful house!

Nicole it makes us very happy to know that you and your family had such a great time. Thank for choosing us, we hope to have the pleasure of having you guys again in the future.

Our stay here was really enjoyable, but the absolute best part was Max's assistance with everything we thought to do in the Arenal Volcano area and La Fortuna.  He was extremely responsive, and it made our stay so convenient.  We enjoyed the farm and especially the hot tub on the back porch.  It was the perfect home base for our time in the area.

Beautiful gated property with a peaceful oasis in the backyard. The home was perfect for our family of four with plenty of space, inviting deck with hot tub, gorgeous gardens and adorable farm animals.

This property was so cute, our kids absolutely loved the little farm!!! Great water pressure, super clean house, AC worked perfectly. Lots of cute charm. WiFi was also excellent for Netflix and chill evening. Beds were so comfy and clean, and the sheets were super soft. It’s about a 15 minute drive from downtown La Fortuna. There is a little supermarket down the road from the property. Max was also very helpful.

Magdalena’s place was amazing. Close to all that Fortuna has to offer without all the crowds. The kids had lots to do with the pool, the stream and all the trails and the parents got to enjoy the peace and quiet at night. 10/10 would stay here again!

If you are looking for a quiet stay with beautiful surroundings, this is your place. The gardens with the stream running through it, were amazing! Both Magdalena & Max were very helpful in giving us guidance on where to eat in La Fortuna. Although the bungalows are located out of town, we had no problem getting Uber transportation or private cars. The kitchen had all the necessary cooking tools to make breakfast and simple lunches. The pool was a nice touch on our very hot days. We especially enjoyed the beautiful friendly calf and sure it would make any children very excited to pet. Not one negative thing to say about our stay. All the local people we met in Costa Rica were over the top.

Thank you Allan for your kind words. It was truly our pleasure to be your hosts. We've dedicated ourselves to ensuring that our guests enjoy a tranquil and relaxing environment and it makes us very happy to know that you had such a great time. We hope to have the opportunity to be your hosts again in the future.

Great stay and great host! Provided local recommendations in the surrounding area and was very responsive to any questions throughout my stay. Will definitely return!

We really enjoyed our stay in La Fortuna. The setting is tucked away from the road in a lovely setting with beautiful gardens. The hot tub on the deck is a really nice feature. The house is well stocked–from the kitchen to the well lit make-up mirror. We were so so comfortable we wished we were able to stay longer. We'd definitely recommend staying here and would definitely come again.

Always helpful, responsive, generous and beautiful property! Thank you for the fresh eggs, local advice and maintaining such a beautiful property.

This house was perfect for our needs, quietly tucked away from the noise of La Fortuna, in a beautiful countryside location. The little garden trails and small stream in the back was great. Max was incredibly helpful and quick to respond. Our family very much enjoyed this rental. Thank you!

Estimada familia! Nos encanto su visita ! Siempre serán bienvenidos! Pura vida

We could not believe how private, and beautiful the house was. We took our five kids ages 5 to 16, and it worked wonderfully.  The landscaping was magical and romantic.

Max was wonderful, so helpful with tours and activities and any small issues during our stay. He went far and beyond! The place was marvelous, and so comfortable. The hot tub was a big hit with my teenage daughters as well as the pool. Wish we could have stayed longer than our 3 days.

Magdalena and Max were amazing. Super responsive, very kind and really work hard to make their place feel like your home in the rainforest. Their place is even more beautiful than the pictures show and don’t capture how lively max and Ingrid are. My kids are 15 and 8 and max even met with our kids in the mornings to they could give baby cow cookie her bottle and feed matcha the goat. They even give you fresh eggs from their chickens each day so you have the most delicious breakfasts. They are truly wonderful hosts and their property is so lush and beautiful. We even got to learn about cocoa and max opened one up so we could taste the delicious fruit. We will definitely be returning to this place as we loved it so much and we recommend it to everyone!

Great place to stay, the host was so nice and provided local recommendations for adventures and food! The place was perfect to be out in nature but close to town. Would stay again!

Fantastic place. Great host. Highly recommended

Can't say enough amazing things about this beautiful Airbnb! Max, who manages the property, made our stay the wonderful experience that it was. He was so attentive and even helped us by suggesting restaurants and making reservations. Him and his wife were incredibly kind and went above and beyond. Checking in + out was super easy and he was super responsive. The grounds are gorgeous as well and the security is excellent. It's a bit outside of La Fortuna, but it was the perfect distance for my Dad and I while we explored on our trip. Can't recommend this place enough - such a gem and well-priced as well for such a nice stay.

Nice stay. Wasn’t expecting a shared bungalow style or shared pool. The unit was a bit different than the photos. Good value.

Hi Mike , lamento que no se tomará el tiempo para leer la descripción de la villa, la cual no es compartida , la pisicna lo es y está en la descripción, el tamaño de cada villa esta en su descripción! Fue un gran gusto ser su anfitrión pero le aconsejo leer bien la descripción de cada Airbnb al que reserva !

Max was amazing.  He reached out shortly after we booked and asked if he could help with any bookings.  He booked some attractions for us as he got a better deal.  Max greeted us at the gate and showed us around.  He made us a dinner reservation at one of the local restaurants to experience the local cuisine.  He was very friendly and knowledgeable and a great host.  Would definitely recommend this place!  Thanks Max for making La Fortuna a fantastic experience:)

This is fantastic, clean property near La Fortuna for convenience but far enough away to be peaceful and safe. Soap, shampoo, conditioner was provided which has been rare in our AirBnb experience. Beds were very comfortable and the furniture had been upgraded from the pictures in the listing. Air conditioning worked up to our USA standards, and was honestly one of the main reasons we chose this property as we aren't accustomed to the heat and humidity in the region. Max was very helpful and organized a sloth tour at Sloth Territory and chocolate/sugar cane/coffee tour at North Fields. Both were outstanding. Max lives on the property and is available for any questions . There are 4 homes that share the pool and common grounds but we hardly ever saw anyone. Little grocery store right down the road had the best fruit and essentials at a reasonable price. Abigail's restaurant attached was delicious and very inexpensive.

We would definitely stay here again! Max was extremely helpful in making sure we found great activities to do and had transportation for everything.

So awesome!!! Safe and comfortable home and beautiful landscaping!! The pool was so nice as well.

If your looking for a great place for you and your family to stay just outside the busy La Fortuna downtown area this is it.  Magdalena clearly communicated with use before and after our stay and Max was very welcoming on our arrival. The place was clean, comfortable, and we felt very safe. We really enjoyed walking the beautiful gardens around the complex and relaxing in the private hot tube after spending long days exploring the jungle.

Magdalena’s property is wonderful!   Absolutely tranquil and secluded.   A beautiful pool in a common area surrounded by a well manicured and maintained residence practically in a rainforest.    Our bungalow was secluded and spacious.   Great location if you want to take advantage of all there is to do in the surrounding area of La Fortuna or if you simply want to relax and unwind from the traffic and noise of the city.

This place was amazing! The location was perfect - close enough to activities, but peacefully away from the hustle of La Fortuna. The porch was amazing for bird watching, and the grounds themselves very peaceful. Would definitely return.

August thank you for review. You were amazing guest , you always will be welcome

This place is absolutely stunning. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here if I’m the area. We had an amazing time. The host is awesome!!!! Best experience with BNB yet :)

Really enjoyed our stay! Bed was cozy and place was clean. It was conveniently located to a quaint restaurant and close to La Fortuna.

Very beautiful surroundings. I liked the privacy even though there were 3 other units in the same area. We enjoyed the patio area with jacuzzi.

Lovely place - plenty of room for four adults. Great kitchen set up - bathrooms could use a couple of easy to fix tweaks - hair dryers in both bathrooms - (one in guest bath didn’t work ) electrical outlet in operable in primary bath - no doubt they’ll get on it & fix. Max ~ our host was fantastic! He organized a fantastic horseback ride! Note this : if you book the horse back ride you can stay at the resort and enjoy the warm mineral springs- included!! We could have saved $$ but we had already booked Tabacon - $82 pp but not really worth it. If you don’t mind a bit of a car ride to town (15 min) there are a lot of restaurants - not many nearby. The hot tub was a great way to unwind after a long day of site seeing !

Property is father from La Fortuna but in a very peaceful and private area which we enjoyed. You would definitely need a car, but in general a car is a good idea in Costa Rica. Magdalena's brother, Max, was on-site and extremely helpful and responsive to any questions. The house was really nice and clean and overall the stay was relaxing. Would go back.

This is an AMAZING find! Bukala Village is a hidden oasis!  A perfect distance to all  the area hot spots, with the most convenient market right up the road. We could not have asked for anything better! Magdalena and Max made the experience a welcoming, stress free experience. Pura Vida!

Amazing stay at this property. The grounds are beautiful and really immerse you in the nature Costa Rica has to offer. The pool and private hot tub were always a joy to return home to after a long day. And the center of town is only a 10-15 minute drive away. The host was extremely responsive and was always willing to provide recs. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful, very clean and spacious house! Max was super helpful and responsive — we had a  cleaning for each day with fresh towels, a great jacuzzi, large beds, AC in every room and very nice showers! Highly recommend in a beautiful location about 15 min away from La Fortuna!

We were arriving late but Max, the host, was very attentive and waited for us to get there. The house was exactly what it looked like on pictures, clean and gated. The only complaint from me was that the shower water wasn’t hot enough but I like really hot showers. Max was very responsive to our questions, made multiple recommendations, and activity reservations. Overall, we fully enjoyed our stay.

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND BOOK THIS PLACE NOW! Definitely one of our best experiences using Airbnb. Very clean/safe stay that is in a great location. Hot tub/back yard “jungle garden” are absolutely beautiful and a great way to start every morning. Max (brother of host) lives within the surrounding complex and is an AMAZING resource for restaurant/activity recommendations. Would highly recommend asking him for advice once you arrive. Stay has everything you need to make it great, and AC is also great to have.

Dear Austin ! Thank you for your amazing comment ! You always will be welcome !

Great spot. Max was the best to communicate with. Beautiful gardens, very clean. Short drive to town. Don’t hesitate. Book.

Great place, so peaceful. Max was great with recommendations and setting up tours.

Wonderful safe and excellent wifi also excellent host, within 15 min of major attractions

A beautiful spotless like -new  home in the middle of  a paradise garden.  We enjoyed our short stay  in La Fortuna and choosing this place was definitely a great idea. The tropical garden in the sunshine will leave you breathless  !Combine it with the sound of a creek with a thoughtfully located bench with hanging plants and flowers and this garden will give you tears of joy.  You will feel like in heaven for a few days. Having the pool in the middle of the garden and a hot tub  on our front porch made our stay feel like an escape to Paradise.  Max was a great host and we got discounted tickets to Baldi's hot springs from him. I highly recommend staying here.  Amazing!

Max was wonderful and helpful. The property is beautiful and we had a very comfortable stay. Can’t wait to come back!

Our stay here was amazing! The place was exactly what we say in the photos and description. Max was helpful long before we even arrived - giving recommendations and offering to assist in booking taxis, excursions and reservations. While we were there, he helped book white water rafting for us the night before and they came to pick us up from our spot at 8am. He also helped us find a driver who tools us to the local waterfall and hot spring. Our place was cleaned up in middle of our stay which was a really nice touch as well. I could go on and on. I will definitely be back soon!

Absolutely beautiful place. The house is clean and comfortable. The porch was fantastic. And the surrounding gardens were incredible. Max was very helpful. We would 100% stay there again.

A very nice and impeccable place in the cleanliness. We loved that it is very private and at the same time close to luck and the restaurants and attractions in the area.

Un lugar muy lindo e impecable en la limpieza. Nos encantó que es muy privado y a la vez cerca de la fortuna y los restaurantes y atracciones de la zona.

My family and I had a wonderful experience! This place did not disappoint and was exactly as described, if not better! It is located in a quiet gated area set back from the main road. Our main point of contact (Max) lives on site and was very friendly, responsive and helpful. The villa was spacious and clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. The private patio and hot tub area overlooked a stunning lush tropical garden, very tranquil and serene. We enjoyed walking through the garden to the little stream located at the back of the property as well as swimming in the shared pool. Through Max we booked a Canyon Repelling adventure that was an awesome thrill, great guides, and amazing food - highly recommend it. He also suggested a delicious locate pizzeria. The villa is more remote but there is a grocery store and a soda restaurant down the street which is everything we needed. Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely wonderful staying here- very peaceful and safe! Max was incredibly helpful from helping get tickets for activities to recommendations nearby. A little father from the town of la Fortuna but close enough for an easy drive. Definitely would recommend staying!

A great place to stay around La fortuna! The place was very clean, and the private jacuzzi was a great amenity we used nightly. The kitchen had plenty of appliances we ended up using, such as a coffee maker and air fryer. The grounds and shared pool were surrounded by beautiful landscaping and a bubbling creek. I doubt there are many, if any, other housing options that can offer as many amenities at the same price point. Magdalena and Max were wonderful hosts that reached out early and were responsive to our needs for a later check in than anticipated. We would happily stay here again next time!
