I loved the place, fully recommended, very peaceful and well taken. If you are seeking for a private cozy place with your partner this is a the best option in the area.

Very nice host and a super cozy accommodation, can highly recommend to stay here

Jättetrevlig värd och ett supermysigt boende, kan starkt rekommendera att bo här

The place was clean and well organized. However, it is mainly designed for couples, as the bathrooms lack privacy and the space is very open, which may be uncomfortable for other guests. What I disliked the most was the pool policy. Playing music is not allowed, and this was not clearly stated. One of the owners approached us around 10–11 a.m. to mention it, but unfortunately not in a polite manner. This made the situation uncomfortable. In addition, the pool cannot be used after 6 p.m., which was disappointing, as this is usually a relaxing time of day. Breakfast was acceptable, with eggs served every day, depending on personal taste. The lady was very kind, but the man was unfriendly, which negatively affected the stay. Overall, this was not a good experience and not a place I would recommend.

Beautiful place, very peaceful. Nice pool. Amazing site well kept. Lots of monkeys and other animals. I go to Baliyana every chance I have. Superb breakfast included.

Highlights: breakfast included, order and cleanliness, beautiful scenery, security, hot water, comfortable bed, refreshing pool, relatively close beaches, punctuality. Points for improvement: limited pool hours, very late check-in, very early check-out, same breakfast every day. Disrespectful hosts, we had a difference regarding food in the room and their words were "if you don't like it, look for a hotel", unprofessional response. When checking out, the host complained about the cleanliness of the room, that we had left it dirty the day before, when they themselves offer the daily cleaning service to the room, which is included in the price that was paid. Also, as a beach Airbnb, it's normal for guests to arrive with sand and dust, and obviously, getting the place a little dirty is inevitable. If you're so bothered by the issue of dirt, you should ask yourself if you really want to run a beach Airbnb.

Puntos altos: desayuno incluido, orden y limpieza, hermoso paisaje, seguridad, agua caliente, cama confortable, piscina refrescante, playas relativamente cerca, puntualidad. Puntos de mejora: horario de piscina limitado, check in muy tarde, check Out muy temprano, mismo desayuno todos todos días. Hosts irrespetuosos, tuvimos una diferencia en cuanto a la alimentación en la habitación y sus palabras fueron "si no les gusta busquen un hotel", respuesta poco profesional. Al hacer check out, host reclama sobre la limpieza de la habitación, que la habíamos dejado sucia el día anterior, cuando ellos mismos ofrecen el servicio de limpieza diario a la habitación, mismo que está incluido dentro del precio que se pagó. Además, al ser un airbnb de playa, es normal que los huéspedes lleguen con arena y polvo, y evidentemente, ensuciar un poco el alojamiento es algo inevitable. Si les molesta tanto el tema de la suciedad, deberían de preguntarse si realmente quieren administrar un airbnb de playa.

The place is very nice, comfortable, the view from the pool is spectacular

El lugar muy lindo, cómodo, la vista desde la piscina es espectacular

Beautiful grounds and the hosts are very friendly.

Beautiful view, tranquility. Very friendly service. Very complete and delicious breakfast

Hermosa vista, tranquilidad. Trato muy amable. Desayuno muy completo y delicioso

We loved the place and definitely want to go back. The place is away from the hustle and bustle. There are three bungalows and the main house where you have breakfast. It's only for two people per bungalow, so the stay is quite private and relaxed. Breakfast was very tasty and Nathalie was very kind to us during the stay

Nos encantó el lugar y definitivamente queremos volver. El lugar es apartado del bullicio. Son tres bungalos y la casita  principal donde se toma el desayuno. Es solo para dos personas por bungalo, por lo que la estadía es bastante privada y relajada. El desayuno estuvo muy rico y Nathalie fue muy amable con nosotros durante la estadía

Excellent place and super quiet, ideal to disconnect for a while and have a pleasant time, from the reception to the departure we felt very comfortable and at ease, we would return and possibly will in the future, 100% recommended

Excelente lugar y super tranquilo, ideal para desconectar un rato y pasarla agradable, desde el recibimiento hasta la salida nos sentimos muy a gusto y cómodos, volveríamos y posiblemente volveremos en un futuro, recomendado 100%

Lovely stay at Nathalie’s! The views of the mountains in the pool were so beautiful. I would be mindful that you are in the jungle and there can be many ants and bugs inside. It was nice to have a/c after a day at the beach. The breakfast was also really yummy and fresh! We even saw howler monkeys from our room. Be prepared to have a four wheel drive or car that is able to get up the hill as it was in the mountains.

Super nice place, great service, I would definitely come back ☺️

Lugar súper lindo , la atención genial , sin duda volvería ☺️

Beautiful and quiet place in the middle of nature. The units are very clean and tastefully decorated. Our very friendly and helpful hosts

Hermoso y tranquilo lugar en medio de la naturaleza. Las unidades muy limpias y decoradas con  buen gusto. Nuestros anfitriones muy amables y atentos

The cabins are BEAUTIFUL and the accommodation is between nature, we saw and heard monkeys!! The breakfast included is delicious, the best we've had on Airbnb. Super attentive and friendly Nathalie, we felt right at home. We loved this place that is definitely worth it, the pool is cute and the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful.

Las cabañas son HERMOSAS y el alojamiento está entre naturaleza, vimos y escuchamos monos!! El desayuno incluido es delicioso, el mejor que hemos tenido en Airbnb. Nathalie súper atenta y amigable, nos sentimos como en casa. Nos encantó este lugar que sin duda vale la pena, la alberca es linda y el ambiente es relajado y tranquilo.

Very nice, they keep it in very good condition and excellent treatment

Muy bonito, lo mantienen en muy buenas condiciones y excelente trato

Our stay with Nathalie and Yannick was wonderful!!! From thoughtful hosts and attention to all the details that can be found in the quality of the rooms. Nearby beaches, evening stars by the pool, monkeys waking up, delicious breakfast, everything was perfect!!! We really recommend staying there for a few nights

Notre séjour chez Nathalie et Yannick a été merveilleux !!! Des hôtes aux petits soins et une attention à tous les détails que l'on retrouve dans la qualité des chambres. Les plages à proximité, les étoiles le soir près de la piscine, les singes au réveil, le petit déjeuner délicieux, tout était parfait !!! Nous recommandons vraiment d'y séjourner quelques nuits

Very welcoming host who gave clear instructions about the home. Cabin of immaculate cleanliness and ultra peaceful and well maintained site. Perfect place for people who want peace and quiet. Beautiful pool to relax . Lunch was good and quality. If you want to recharge this is the perfect place! Close to the beaches of Tamarindo and Playa Avellanas

Hôte très accueillant qui a donné des instructions clairs sur le logement. Cabine d’une propreté immaculée et site ultra paisible et bien entretenue. Endroit parfait pour les gens qui veulent le calme et la tranquillité. Belle piscine pour relaxer . Le déjeuner était bon et de qualité. Si vous voulez vous ressourcer c’est l’endroit parfait! Proche des plages de Tamarindo et Playa Avellanas

This was my first visit to Costa Rica. When I return I will ensure to include a stop at Nathalie’s! She and her husband are excellent friendly hosts. They have created an oasis with passion. No detail forgotten.

The place is perfect for disconnecting, very quiet place surrounded by nature, quiet and private. Very comfortable, clean, and good details. The hosts are attentive and very pleasant, the check-in was very attentive to show us the entire place. Breakfast is good but it was repeated on both days, the internet is bad almost doesn't work, but we saw it perfect for a mandatory disconnection.

El lugar es perfecto para desconectarse, un lugar muy tranquilo rodeado de naturaleza, silencioso y privado. Muy cómodo, limpio y buenos detalles. Los anfitriones son atentos y muy agradables, el check in fueron muy atentos al mostrarnos el lugar completo. El desayuno es bueno pero fue repetido en ambos días, el internet es malo casi no funciona pero lo vimos perfecto para un desconecte obligatorio.

Great spot. We would book again. Thank you for a great experience.

What can I say... it was an incredibly great stay. A 12 out of 10. Everything was super clean, the breakfast was great and prepared with a lot of love. The place is just fantastic and is ideal for relaxing. The two are super loving hosts, helpful, friendly and accommodating. You feel like you're in the jungle and have a great view. We had a breathtaking time and 100% recommend this place!! If you're looking for relaxation, this is the place. Thank you Regina and Rosa

Was soll ich sagen... es war ein unglaublich toller Aufenthalt. Eine 12 von 10. Alles war super sauber, das Frühstück war grandios und mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Der Ort ist einfach nur traumhaft und eignet sich bestens zum entspannen. Die beiden sind super liebevolle Gastgeber, hilfsbereit, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Man hält sich gefühlt im Dschungel auf und hat eine tolle Aussicht. Wir hatten eine atemberaubende Zeit und empfehlen diese Unterkunft zu 100 Prozent weiter!! Wer Entspannung sucht ist hier richtig. Vielen Dank Regina und Rosa

Excellent place to clear, a peaceful place with a lot of nature

Excelente lugar para despejarse, un lugar de paz con mucha naturaleza

Even the concept of an open bathroom is seen from the photos, a curtain or blind could be valued for privacy topics. Breakfast is spectacular. consider that the check-out time is a little later .

Aunq el concepto de baño abierto se ve desde las fotos, podría valorarse una cortina o persiana por temas de privacidad. El desayuno es espectacular. valorar que la hora de salida sea un poquito más tarde .

This little slice of heaven was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica! Nathalie and Yannick are super friendly hosts! The place is wonderfully well kept and what to say about the jungle that surrounds it! Wowww! And the sunsets behind the mountain are breathtaking! We will go back without hesitation! 😊👌

Ce petit coin de paradis a été le coup de coeur de notre voyage au Costa Rica! Nathalie et Yannick sont des hôtes super sympatiques! L’endroit est merveilleusement bien tenu et que dire de la jungle qui l’entoure! Wowww! Et les couchers de soleil derrière la montagne sont à couper le souffle! Nous y retournerons sans hésiter! 😊👌

Excellent place to stay!! The location is more remote and removed from town which is a plus! Nathalie met us right as we pulled up and brought us to our little cabin. You can tell they pay great attention to detail and think of every last thing to provide an excellent place for their guests! Gives off a private, resort vibe with beautiful landscaping and a nice pool. Only a total of 3 cabins, so it’s quiet and peaceful. The place itself, very clean and spacious, hot water available, and even a drying rack on the side of the cabin to hang wet swimsuits and towels. Did notice some ants in the room. Nice front porch to drink your morning tea/coffee that they supply in the room and enjoy the property. A tasty breakfast is included, made by the owners. Very friendly hosts and provided recommendations where to go! Would 100% recommend staying here!!

great place, peacefull, little out of the way from restaurants or bars, so if going there better bring food, but we got breakfast in the morning and it was really good.

A super quiet place, just to rest, no noise around and with extremely friendly hosts! Thank you

Un lugar súper tranquilo, apenas para descansar, sin bulla alrededor y con unos hosts extremadamente amables! Gracias

Our stay at Baliyana Lodge was fantastic. What a hidden treasure it is! The hosts were kind and friendly, helping us to feel right at home. I loved the privacy and the care that clearly went into creating this property. So many thoughtful touches, beautifully done!

We stayed here for three nights at the very beginning of our trip and it was the perfect location to relax and unwind after two travel days. The casita was spotless and very comfortable, exactly as pictured. We loved the little private deck and spent countless hours enjoying the sounds of nature and watching for monkeys which we were fortunate enough to have visit in the trees directly above and around us! The pool is refreshing and stunning, a great place for star gazing in the evening. And thank you to Nathalie and Yannick who are two outstanding, kind, friendly hosts. Breakfast was delicious!! They made suggestions for restaurants and alternative quieter beaches. Yannick even rinsed the dust off our car! The grounds are meticulously cared for and it is obvious that the hosts love their home and enjoy sharing it with guests. Thoroughly happy with our stay!

Una excelente atención . Súper recomendado

exceptional treatment, quiet and beautiful place, I recommend it 100%

Staying here was and will be one of those places you'll always want to come back to, Nathalie and her husband (owners) take care of every detail of the place, it's amazing from the cleanliness to the decor. The space is quiet, quiet, private, secluded, and everything has a special touch that undoubtedly makes the place magical!

Hospedarnos aquí fue y será de esos lugares a los que siempre vas a querer volver, Nathalie y su esposo (dueños) cuidan cada detalle del lugar, es increíble desde la limpieza hasta la decoración. El espacio es tranquilo, silencioso, privado, retirado, y todo tiene un toque especial que sin duda hacen del lugar algo mágico!

A very reserved and cozy place to rest and enjoy the nature. Nathalie very loving and thoughtful. Clean place with top notch finishes.

Um lugar muito reservado e aconchante ideal para descansar e desfrutar da natureza. Nathalie muito amorosa e atenciosa. Lugar limpo com acabamentos de primeira.

Super clean and nice place. But it's far from everything.

Súper limpio y bonito el lugar. Pero es muy lejos de todo.

Perfect host and place, peacefulness at 100%

This place is great! The peaceful vibe you get when you walk in and Nathalie’s care and attention are top. Property is beautiful and well kept. The room is nice and well equipped, breakfast was good and made with love from the owners. Views from the top of the hill house and pool are beautiful and peaceful. I was truly able to feel restful though I was on work duties.

Excellent, 100% recommended, very beautiful, impeccable, every detail

Great little place! Super cute and beautiful. It was perfect little getaway away from town and just what we needed. Nathalie made great breakfast and she and her husband were very accommodating.  We would love to come back!

Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire nous sommes très touché ravi d'avoir pue vous apporter ce moment. Au plaisir de vous revoir.

We stayed for one night at Nathalie’s place. It is a very nice and cozy room surrounded by nature. We loved it! Make sure your car is for all terrain. The cabin is not super close to many restaurants, so you might have to drive away from Avellanas to the closest town. Nathalie and her husband were very nice to us, we will come back!

excellent place to clear your mind, close to many beaches, very good service from the host and the place is very quiet surrounded by nature, 100% recommended.

excelente lugar para despejarse, cercano de muchas playas, muy buen servicio por parte de la anfitriona y el lugar es muy tranquilo rodeado por la naturaleza, 100% recomendado.

Nathalie's place was beautiful and clean aside from some debris on the bed. We ended up leaving early for a few reasons. We weren't big fans of the town and our room, including our bed, was infested with insects (most likely due to the heavy rainfall). Unfortunately, it wasn't the right fit for us. However, if you have no aversion to insects, don't hesitate to book! For true nature and insect lovers, this is a little slice of paradise.
