This is a beautiful gem located in a quiet and serene area. The staff was fantastic, the food was great and the garden beautiful. This is a peaceful place to rest your soul!

The only drawback is getting there. Road 33 is horrific and is best driven with an off road vehicle. We had a sedan and we had to dodge huge potholes and non paved roads for most of the way. Warning: 33 is the only road in or out of Santa Fe. On the way out towards David, google maps took us down 33 to an off road area that we got our car stuck in. Be careful and use Waze

The breakfast which is included is good. There's pancakes and eggs, done a different way each day plus good coffee, teas, fruit etc. They can arrange tours for you. We went on an "night safari" 7pm - 9.45pm with Edgar. We saw some tiny treefrogs and a baby snake. We had expected to see more but we're happy with the frogs. The hotel lend you wellies if you need them, and even at the end of the dry season I'm glad we borrowed them. The windows are all mosquito netted. It may be difficult to have the curtains open at night for the breeze though as both front and back windows are on to the communal terrace, however there are fans in the room. We enjoyed the hammock outside each room (in the main block). The view is fantastic. The option of a Cambodian evening meal each day is good. There's always a vegetarian option. It's a relaxing, peaceful and gorgeous place

The shower couldn't be used on the hook as it sprayed the whole room, you have to hold it to shower and getting the temperature you want, if it isn't freezing cold, is only possible for seconds at a time. Not major, but a bit of a pain.

This is my third stay at Hotel Anachoreo. My last stay was seven years ago—and this stay felt like coming home. I love this hotel. Laying in a hammock looking out at the amazing vista is extremely relaxing. The atmosphere of the hotel is tranquil and quiet. The rooms are cheery, roomy, clean and comfortable. I especially love the ample storage space and the decorative mosaics in the bathroom. The breakfasts are wonderful, especially if you love crepes. The restaurant is open for dinner W-Sun. Make sure you reserve a table. You’ll be rewarded with fresh and perfectly prepared Thai-style dishes. The staff is very attentive without being intrusive. They’re very helpful in arranging excursions or guides for hikes. There’s a beautiful garden to explore on the grounds. The location is within walking distance to town and a local swimming hole at the river. I wasn’t sure I would ever make it back to visit this area and stay at this magical place. I’m so glad it did. I hope you get the opportunity to visit it as well.

The breakfast was incredible. The freshest fruit , crepes , eggs , homemade jams and bread, fresh squeezed juice, French press coffee - way above and beyond expectations. The location is amazing , wedged into a tropical paradise.

While rooms had all amenities to cook and would quote a long term stay , the rooms had a “ home built “ style and so need to have an open mind if you are expecting “USA” standards. They were charming though.

Wonderful view (see photo), and the food, especially dinner, was very good. I ate dinner all three nights I stayed there, and the menu changed daily. The staff was super helpful, arranging a tour and transportation to the Finca Organica de Maria y Chon for lunch one day, and a ride to Santiago with William.

The chitras (no-see-ums) were bad in the evening. Not the hotel's fault, but do bring insect repellent, I never saw one but their bites hurt.

Wonderful views across the valley from the patio and dining room. Spacious rooms with screened windows and ceiling fan. A fresh and hearty breakfast with local ingredients is included daily. The evening meals in the dining room are beautifully prepared and also fresh. Close to bus station.

Wifi is a bit weak away from main area.

Anachoreo Hotel is small, quaint and peaceful. All the rooms have a beautiful view of the mountains. The breakfast is excellent and inclusive in the room price. We had dinner every night there and it was fabulous. The personnel is so attentive of the guest needs. The morning front desk lady, Ines, was extremely helpful in organizing the activities we wanted to do. Would definitively recommend it.

Everything was excellent

The view is magnificent, nice friendly staff and big enough rooms. Information about the area and suggestions for hikes and tours were spot on. We enjoyed our stay very much

Unfortunately we didn't have hot water for 2 days, they had the problem fixed the last day which was the coldest so we were very glad to have a hot shower again. Breakfast is good quality, quantity could be a little more generous

Breakfast was very tasty. Fresh fruit, eggs, toast, cereal, yogurt, sausage and pancakes. The rooms were large and comfy. The view is spectacular. Dinner (you had to pay) was unbelievable. The owner is the cook and she is Cambodian and she cooks the BEST meals! Jade (Assistant manager) was a real asset. She was very helpful with what was happening in the community and places to go and see. Very personable and we loved her!

Nothing. It was all good.

Spectacular view, good breakfast, comfy rooms, good location, very friendly and helpful staff. Would stay here again.

The rooms in the main building are airy and bright and delightful, but the self-catering 2-bedroom cottage is a dark and the beds aren’t comfy. We switched from cottage to a regular room after one night, and had a great stay.
