Beautiful property and rooms. Very lush with beautiful plants throughout. Clear attention to detail with the interior design - a very practical kitchenette and a wonderful shower. Celeste was very responsive and helpful from the moment we checked in until we left. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in La Fortuna and would definitely book again if we come back to the area.

The Bauma lofts were absolutely beautiful and very conveniently located. The Staff was very responsive and great with their recommendations. My girlfriend and I have some dietary restrictions and the staff was able to help us find some wonderful restaurants that could accommodate. I will be saving Bauma in my locations for places to stay again and look forward to getting a larger group to be able to stay in the villas! Definitely recommend anybody who is visiting the La Fortuna area to stay at this wonderful location!

The hotel is very nice, with privacy and a personal jucuzzi. Because the property is new, there was a small kink with the internet/power. The issue was resolved to my satisfaction. Luis, the property manager, was helpful, friendly, and attentive.

I loved everything about this property! Such a perfect stay for a couple. The outside of the room had multiple spots to hang out at, the whole property was gorgeous, updated, modern, and clean. The bathroom was gorgeous even and brought some natural light from outside. The staff was super helpful and friendly with all my questions. I highly recommend this property!!

Absolutely gorgeous property! Best place we stayed at in Costa Rica. The place is close to everything, they have security all night at the gate. Communication via WhatsApp was so convenient and prompt. The hot tub at the end of the day was icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend.

Facility is newer. Everything is communicated through whats app. Tip: keep the bathroom door closed. There is open access to outside from the bathroom. It allows mosquitos inside. Our room wasnt cleaned during the stay. Not sure if we needed to request it. There is a beautiful view of the volcano from the balcony.

Fabulous compound of villas. Can’t say enough about our stay and this location. A stones throw from restaurants and downtown Fortuna. Highly rated by us and would definitely stay again. A unique style of concrete and steel makes an architectural wonder.

This property was beyond my best expectations. It was private, beautiful and was designed with the best Eco intentions. Every bit of the design was intentional functional, a n nd esthetically wonderful. There is an open sky portion to the shower. And when it rains, the plants get watered, it was absolutely stunning It was my life's favorite hotel.,

Absolutely fabulous... nicest place we have stayed in our entire 10 day stay at various places in cost rica . Should be in the 5 star category. We spoke with manager Luis and he was so informative and said because it was brand new they do not have a real rating yet. We had our own villa with hot tub and fabulous views of the volcano from our back balcony. Will absolutely stay again this time much longer ... bathroom was so cool !!!!

We loved our stay at BAUMA. We stayed in the lofts, and definitely would have upgraded to the villa if we were hanging around more during the day. We were quite busy during the days, so felt the lofts were plenty good enough. I was very nervous as the bathroom had an opening to the outside (which is a beautiful concept), but I was very paranoid about spiders/animals coming in. Luckily, we didn’t experience anything other than a couple little flying bugs (which I can handle). We do wish there was housekeeping each day. Would have been nice for garbage disposal and clean towels, as we used the shower and hot tub a tremendous amount of times. It was walking distance into town, which made it easy to get our meals, snacks, and alcohol from restaurants and superstores. Listening to the animals every morning from the upper deck was spectacular. I already miss it! Would highly recommend booking this place. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Luis, one of the property owners, made our stay really enjoyable. He's personally invested in all aspects of this boutique hotel/villa concept and he and his staff really worked hard and went above and beyond to help us (a family of 5) figure out where to go, where to eat, etc. He had AMAZING restaurant recommendations. So first, a little about the property. It's brand new (opened December 2023) and is right across from a fantastic boutique coffee and chocolate farm (with a really worthwhile tour). The location is a walk away from a strip of stores (grocery, a couple of restaurants, etc.) and a very short drive away from downtown La Fortuna which has more restaurants and shops. We stayed in one of two 2-bedroom/2-bath units with a small pool - it's a beautiful architectural place with a really stunning patio/pool area where you can see the volcano on a clear day through some of the other units (there are 8 in total, I think). They are modern, clean, airy and light. Everyone gives 5 stars and I think that rating is seriously overused. So don't take 4 stars out of 5 as a negative thing - take it as just an honest opinion based on the state of things at the time. Little details were still being sorted out and Luis was gracious in taking our un-solicited suggestions which we felt compelled to give because we connected with Luis and his passion for the business. I have little doubt that Bauma will have tons of 5-star reviews in the near future.

Dear Lawrence,Thank you very much for you review.We are glad you were able enjoy your vacation and that we could accommodate all you inquiries. It is always our goal that you have a wonderful time and that we can assist you with all your needs.About the little details/ inconvenience you had during your stay with the light close to your bedroom, we apologize for this, as we explained to you during your check in we had our property fully booked and we were unable to fix this before your check in without cancelling your reservation as we needed a electrician from San Jose a full day to fix this. Even though we explained this during your check in, you tried to fix this by yourself and the lamp broke, we did not charge you or took any actions. We apologize we were not able to meet you expectations in this aspect but there was nothing we could do at that moment to fix it right away for you.We hope to be able to serve you as you expect in the future.Best regards,Bauma Team.

We have been staying in San Jose for several days working with Costa Rica children and we needed a weekend break! We booked the Bauma last minute for 2 nights as most places were already booked. Did we hit the jackpot & wished we had time to stay longer! Bauma is newer, very clean, the indoor/outdoor shower is the best & the staff is excellent as they will help you with just about anything you may need! We had a queen bed room with a private hot tub. It also had an outside, upstairs sitting area facing the Volcano. There were no clouds either night so we had a star show at night! Fantastic! It’s about a 10-15 min. walk into town and we had no problems with the area as far as safety etc. in fact there is a woman on the route we ended up getting a couples massage from! Uber is also available if you don’t feel like walking. The one thing about most of Costa Rica is that it isn’t less expensive as many would believe. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth the little bit extra. Thanks Bauma for a great weekend! PURA VIDA!!

The property is newly built, and feels much more expensive than what it is! Everything is thoughtfully laid out, with private jacuzzis and decks for every loft. Landscaping to give extra privacy. Very convenient location - less than 5 minute drive to the main road and so close to all the attractions. Prompt responses from hotel always. We would absolutely stay here again
