“Exceptional”
+Can book amazing activities through them, and they treat their horses better than anywhere else we’ve seen in Central America

“Very poor”
+Nice views, nice family and in nature. Private bathroom for each hut.
−Bed bugs, & lots of other dead bugs in the bed, no water available the second day (the staff offered to bring a bucket of water in case we needed to flush the toilet), water leaked at the foot of one bed (during heavy rain), mosquito netting had lots of holes so we slept in long shirts and pants). The kitchen area was a plastic bin with a lid (fridge substitute) but with a big crack at the bottom. When we washed our dinner and breakfast dishes outside the dirty water attracted dogs/animals and landed on your feet. The dirt road up was very long and in rainy conditions was very challenging even in a suv. A truck would be better. Horseback riding was in a nice area, but the “half day” was with the guide who walked on foot so only a short walk. We waited at the top viewpoint and saw beautiful vistas, butterflies and flowers while the guide had a break with a friend.

“A great retreat away from the busy cities and the backpacker superhighway”
+The farm is an amazing place, far away from the cities it's great for relaxing and getting away from the backpacker superhighway. Really kind people living and working here who are great to chat to There are great tours that you can do. We especially enjoyed riding the horses and walking through the protected cloud Forrest.
−It's a buggy place so bring bug spray!

“Not quite as good as the photos”
+The staff were lovely and tried to be helpful with everything that was going wrong
−Lots of things were broken. The water in the toilet wasn't working properly, there was a gas leak on the stove so we could only use one burner. The kitchen is outside so didn't include a fridge, we were welcomed to put things in the fridge at their house though. Perhaps I misunderstood (my Spanish is just barely passable) but we booked a horseback ride for my daughter and I and had to share a horse. I don't think we were asked if that was what we wanted. We still paid $30US. A few things that were neither good or bad but we would have liked to know beforehand. The owner was not at the property the whole time we stayed. Since I was corresponding with her I assumed she would be available (she speaks English but her staff doesn't). There is also no cell service at the property or anywhere near it so if you don't pay for the daily wifi you have no phone connection.

“Wonderful. But a person needs to be an experienced traveler. Again”
+The natural beauty of the area! It was beautiful to wake up to the clouds surrounding us. And the owner was very nice. She was very good about making a walk for us and pointing out specific areas of the Miraflor! Because it is a working farm the were cows, horses, and dogs.
−The dogs could have been contained a little better, but we understood. The kitchen was small and the dish washing was really convenient. But any inconvenience was okay based on the whole experience.

“Beautiful location but inaccessible and lacks good cooking facilities”
+Beautiful area of countryside. The cabañas were large, clean and comfortable. The horse riding trip was a highlight!
−Difficult to access by public transport - long bus on a bumpy road, followed by 20 minute walk past many barking dogs. It felt a little scary arriving past sunset, the path to the farm was unlit and we were unable to find any staff to welcome us for a while. We expected much better kitchen facilities, seeing as the only option is to cook for yourself. There were insects and mice in the kitchen, and no sharp knives.
