"Overall, this house left us wishing we had paid more for a more comfortable stay. The beds were pretty uncomfortable, the house was so rudimentary that every step upstairs was very loud downstairs. The showers didn’t drain as your showered, the sinks don’t have warm water. The plus sides were we were deep the jungle, the host as very responsive, kind and helpful. There was a cool bridge to explore and a pool table in the restaurant area you can use. Unfortunately we did kill two scorpions in the...

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Cala Lodge was an absolute delight! What a very special place Francisco and family have created! We loved staying in the Mathilda House. It was perfect for our family of 5, ages 14-82, nestled in the cloud forest with floor to ceiling windows. It was incredible to see wildlife pass by, we felt lucky to be guests in their well-loved and protected forest. We had dreams and conversations with the howler monkeys throughout the night, and agoutis, coatis and diverse birds were easily seen from the living area and rooms. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Our home was clean, spacious, beautifully contemporary, and well-provisioned, and we received quick support when we had needs or questions. Breakfast was delicious and enjoyed with stunning view over the mountains. We loved exploring the trails and talking with other happy travelers. I will recommend Cala Lodge to family and friends and am grateful for the time that we enjoyed there!"
