When we as travellers are checking places online, it's difficult to make a decision based on other people's comments, or even by the website itself sometimes. We were looking for a place that would be easy to get around from, but also a quiet relaxing place to read a book, spend some time being in touch with friends/famiy by email,... more

Laurin was very helpful. Got in at almost midnight and she accomodated us very nicely. We came to Costa Rica with no real solid plans and she planned our whole trip for us the next morning. The room was also very quaint. more

Hate to be negative, but decided to stay here after reading all the positive reviews ... and felt it'd be wrong not to give another viewpoint to others who haven't been yet. Proprietor (Ginette) happened to be attending her daughter's wedding in Canada during our stay, but we found this out upon our arrival rather than up-front. Woke up the... more

Casa Laurin and Ginette were amazing! We loved it there and it was definitely an oasis! The personalized help and attention was fantastic and I can't recommend this place highly enough. Next time I'm in Costa Rica, I'm definitely staying here again! Our first hotel in San Jose was so loud, we couldn't sleep at night (Villa Tournon) so then... more

I called first a hotel in Escazu and they were booked, searching online found Casa Laurin, the best B & B I ever experienced. This could be considered for anyone a home away from home, I cannot wait to return. Ginette, the owner, and her staff are warm, helpful and conscientious. The house is beautiful, and above all a really... more

If you want excellent accommodation (very nice rooms in a lovely garden setting) and hosptitality (a friendly, lively, and unendingly helpful host in Ginette) then Casa Laurin is the place for you. I was in San Jose on business and stayed for a week. Glad i did! In this B&B you can be as private as you like when you... more

We only stayed two nights and we wish that we had been able to spend more time at this beautiful B & B. Ginette is the perfect hostess. She arranged our day excursion and our transport to the airport. She even ordered our take-out dinner for us, had a bottle of wine available and made sure everyone was up in... more

Ginette was great, she booked us the bamboo room and we had a great time. It was far from downtown, but the tours came to the door. She has two great dogs, and all the other guests were very friendly. Breaskfast was great and everyone was friendly. more

Ginette provides a great location with comfortable amenities. Her offering manages to include some "big resort" niceties like online access, on site massages and multiple sitting areas. She raises the bar on the average B&B I think. Her guidance regarding the city was excellent. more
