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

My boyfriend and I stayed at Casa Laurin for 3 nights in the Bambo Room. What a beautiful home Ginnette runs! The home is beautifully decorated and in the heart of San Jose. The breakfast (included) was a feast of food! You will be greeted by Ginnette and if you're lucky, Jenny and Dolly the resident dogs. (Jenny & Dolly... more

The B&B was clean, simple and nice. It isn't trendy and I didn't see a swimming pool. But, most importantly we received individualized attention that was invaluable! Ginette arranged for a taxi (mini van size for luggage) to meet us at the airport. He was waiting for us with our name on his sign. She told us before we even... more

Our first time to Costa Rica and we couldn't be more pleased with this B&B that our son found for us. From the minute we arrived until the morning we left for the airport, we were made to feel "special". Casa Laurin is a beautiful, spacious place to relax and to get good information about Costa Rica. If Ginette does... more

We stayed for six nights following my wife's oral surgery. It was the perfect place to recuperate. The room was airy (corner windows), comfortable (full size bed, couch, desk, TV) and immaculate. Ginette and her staff - Yorleny, Gloria, and Alice - were extremely accommodating preparing a special breakfast and taking care of the room at our convenience. Access to... more
