Tranquility
The house was amazing and exactly as described. The property was very clean and all the trails were well manicured. We loved all the sculptures, pictures and art on all the trails. The staff were all incredible, friendly and very communicative. The laundry service was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We wished we would have booked longer.

Amazing place
Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Sitting in the jungle at night in the open air, surrounded by birds and monkeys. An awesome trail to a very chill beautiful beach, not as crowded as in puerto viejo. Great service including laundry.
Nothing!

Second visit! I’m sure there will be a Third!
We love the outside sitting area, having coffee with the monkeys was a highlight! The rooms have everything you need including the kitchen! The staff was amazing, attentive to every need. Full size frig was perfect for our fruit and beverages. Love the blender and used the panini press for avocado toast. It was perfect. The walk to the beach is easy. Definitely felt secluded even though there are other units! We will be back! Definitely worth the drive!
Small beach chairs we could carry to the beach! We used the noodles!

Congo Bongo's River Dream House
The River Dream House is in a beautiful setting right in the middle of the rainforest, with easy access to the beach and town. The staff were all so welcoming and answered any questions we had regarding the area. We would definitely stay again!

Staff are wonderful, wildlife amazing. I have been coming to Costa Rica for over 18 years and will only stay at the Congo Bongo. If you love nature and wildlife, its the most amazing place to stay.

River dream house
Beautiful location. We loved everything about it, except there is no hot water for showers that wasn’t mentioned and the place needs a new refrigerator as it hardly kept drinks cold nor ice frozen. As far as cleanliness, ambience, decorating, the entire ecovillage is amazing. Other than the air co ditioned rooms you are living outside which we loved! We only stayed in the air conditioned room one night because it was so comfortable sleeping in the bed with the mosquito netting. And there were no mosquitoes at all, anywhere!!

Perfect place to stay
Great place to stay on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Congo Bongo is a special way to experience the rainforest, see wildlife, and relax. Loved hearing and seeing the howler monkeys making their presence known while sitting in the open air accommodations.

For the peaceful adventurer
You are IN the jungle. Loved the seclusion, path to the beach, daily laundry service (!!!), comfy beds, views, sounds, outdoor shower, recycled art, fans helped keep the mosquitoes at bay, ac was a lovely bonus… I could go on and on. Somehow it’s even better than the pictures. 10/10

The perfect Costa Rican eco-experience
This was our second time staying at the River Dream House and we enjoyed it just as much, if not more, the second time. I think it helped us to relax a bit knowing what to expect, this definitely isn't a resort atmosphere with pools and swim-up bars, which is exactly what we love about spending a portion of our trip here. We love that the River Dream House has the gorgeous open living area upstairs, and has the 2 bedrooms with AC for more comfortable nights. The property and walk to the beach are gorgeous, and we love walking to Manzanillo for food. Manzanillo is the end of the road in the Caribe Sur region and we love the vibes of the area. We plan to always include a stay at the Congo Bongo River Dream House when we visit Costa Rica. Thanks for adding so much to our experience visiting Costa Rica!
We initially wanted to try a different house at the Congo Bongo, but we are wimps and strongly prefer having AC in at least 2 rooms so we can sleep and dry out a bit. Not really something to improve per se, but if there were other options with multiple rooms with AC we would welcome trying another house, though we really love the River Dream House.

Highly recommend!
So glad we stayed here. The house is beautiful, the location is perfect. Walking through the jungle to come out to a deserted beach each morning was amazing. Everyone was very nice and helpful from doing our laundry to arranging a last minute jungle hike. About a 15 minute walk into the small town of Manzanillo. Congo Bongo is by far the best place to stay!

Precioso!
Las casas rodeadas de naturaleza. Me encanta cómo sus dueños respetan y armonizan con la naturaleza. Es un lugar para desconectarse de lo negativo, se respira mucha paz y armonía.

The grounds of this place are pure magic. It was stunningly beautiful, and gave you a true sense of the Costa Rican jungle. We loved it!

Amazing experience
My 4 best friends and I stayed in the River Dream House for 4 nights. We had an incredible time! Big thank you to Ernesto and Marisol for welcoming us to property and assisting when needed. Laundry is included as well as all things necessary to cook. Woken up by monkeys every morning and a quick walk to a beautiful quiet beach. We would definitely return to Congo Bongo

Welcome to the jungle....
Very nice house on the property of Congo Bongo with nice terraces to spend the evenings outside which we really enjoyed.
Everything was clean and the beach, which is about 500m away from the property
very nice and great to relax and not crowded at all.
The surroundings and garden were also in good shape and it is just a short
drive / bike tour to Puerto Viejo...
Great stay and very recommendable !

A week for 6 yrs. with a group
My wife & I have stayed w/students at Congo Bongo one week for the past 6 years. For us it is the perfect place--walking distance from town, easy access to a beautiful beach, in the jungle, custom built cottages with mini kitchens, porches and patios, flower-filled garden/grounds, complete privacy, personal/profession service. Daan will help you with any problem/need.
There are many fine hotel in the area, but for us Congo Bongo is more than special. For us and our student staying there is alway a highlight of our time on the Caribbean coast.

Total freedom, total adventure!
We'd never been to Costa Rica before but had heard many wonderful things. We chose the Caribbean coast for the laid-back vibe & multicultural food, and it was a great choice. Daan is very helpful, and the caretakers live in a house nearby and they were great as well. They brought us another tank of water before we even asked! We stayed in the Long House. The house is beautiful and clean and even more spacious than it looks. If you go, be prepared for dragonflies or lizards to be on your walls. We thought that was a cool bonus. We sat on the hammocks and watched hummingbirds and listened to the howlers.We had grandparents and a toddler and young adults in our party, and everyone had a great time.
Don't rent a car, because the roads are really bumpy and most people drive like a New York taxi driver! You should rent a bike in Puerto Viejo or Manzanillo, or ask Daan to call a taxi for you, or you can walk to Manzanillo too. But you don't need to go anywhere, because the beach and the jungle are beautiful. Only other piece of advice? Bring a good flashlight because it gets dark early, and there are no streetlights - only beautiful bright stars...

Loved it once again!
Just returned from our 9 day stay at Congo Bongo's Root House. We have a 5 year old and 1 year old. Daan has made the homes very comfortable and equipped them with everything you need. Plenty of fresh, clean towels, cooking utensils, hot shower, comfortable beds. We have now stayed there twice and it is perfect for kids as well as adults. You can lounge at the house and feel completely isolated in the jungle and feel very safe. From the wrap around porch you can sit and observe humming birds, howler monkeys, lizards, parrots & much more. Walking down the pathway Daan has built to he beach is an adventure in itself. Once you arrive at the beach- it is heaven: warm blue waters and soft sand. Back from the beach, the charming outdoor shower refreshes or a hot indoor shower hits the spot. Just a short distance away are great places to eat & explore other amazing beaches- such as our favorite- Punta Uva. We hope to return again very soon. It is a true jungle vacation with the bonus of being on the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Paradise
Congo-Bongo is the place to go if you want to change the way you view your life. The houses are located among beautiful gardens just a short stroll to the beach. On the beach you will find yourself quite often the only person there. The sand and waters are the most beautiful I have seen anywhere.
The owner of Congo-Bongo will help you find whatever you may be looking for in the area. The small town is filled with very friendly people and lots of music and food.
I highly recommend Congo-Bongo for your escape to Paradise.
