Eduardo and Betty were FABULOUS! They could not have been nicer, more courteous hosts! The house was perfection and the home cooked meals were INCREDIBLE!The property itself is BREATHTAKING and very secure. It is behind a heavy electric gate, so we felt very safe!Eduardo communicates very efficiently and was so helpful in navigating our excursions… I hope some day to be able to have the privilege of staying at Gósen again and would give it 10 stars!!

The property was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and well run. The host family were very kind, inviting us to breakfast and sharing recommendations for restaurants in the area.Wish we had taken more time to lounge in the lovely backyard garden area. We enjoyed our stay, and recommend this property.

Probably the most beautiful property we have stayed at in all of our travels. Eduardo and Betty were the most gracious.welcoming and warm hostsThe property, meticulously maintained and manicured daily, is a marvel to living in and among Costa Rica’s rich forest while enjoying the fruits and vegetables grown on their land and drinking the coffee from their family plantation that backs up to the national park. And add in the trail down a five minute walk to the richest and most tranquil and private Brooke side rest area….simply breathtaking. We have have already booked a second three night stay

We had an excellent time at Posada Gosen, finding it to be the perfect location for our family retreat.The accommodations were superb; the kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were very comfortable, and the grounds were beautiful, providing a peaceful and relaxing environment for our break.As noted in other reviews, the highlight of our visit was the exceptional service provided by Eduardo. He was incredibly welcoming and helpful, immediately addressing all of our needs. He provided a wonderful tour of the coffee farm, which included a hands-on coffee roasting experience, and kindly arranged for a yoga instructor to visit one morning. These personalized touches greatly enhanced our vacation. .Additionally, we enjoyed the local area, specifically the nearby parks with hiking trails, waterfall, and the viewpoint overlooking San Jose.

Quiet getaway outside of Heredia

Fantastic stay with Eduardo and Betty, they are excellent hosts who went above and beyond. They make you feel right at home, we will miss them. The only 'con' would be that the house is so remote, not close to any sites we wanted to see, however, we had no issues getting Uber rides and Eduardo was also willing to offer ride service.

We arrived in the middle of the night due to flight issues. We were graciously welcomed. The property is beautiful with comfortable and fun guest areas. The hosts were beyond welcoming, helped us practice our Spanish, taught us how coffee beans go from tree to roasting AND let us help! Sweet dogs and cuddly rabbits rounded out our visit. Get the food if you can, they go all out preparing meals too. Highly recommend this location. We would stay here again!

The property itself is beautiful, peaceful, and well maintained. We were very comfortable and the view from the main building is splendid.The hosts are amazing, warm and welcoming. We leraned about their small-scale coffee production and even got to help out, which was a lot of fun. It almost felt like a homestay experience the way they took the time to interact with us. My husband and two adult children also loved the experience and said it was one of the highlights from the entire trip.

Beautiful home close to San Jose

Great accommodations if you want to be close to San Jose but not in the city. Wonderful hosts who were extremely helpful even though they were out of town during our visit. You are in the middle of beautiful gardens and small coffee farm. Feel safe and secure with locked gate to property. We stayed just a couple of nights before heading elsewhere, and it was a great stopover for us. Reasonably priced and a friend of the owners even made dinner for us the first night because we arrived so late. Lovely people!

Beautiful property!

My husband, daughter and I wanted to stay in a house near San Jose, and this worked out really nicely. The property is just gorgeous with the flowers and greenery everywhere. Eduardo and Betty are so sweet. We paid extra for dinner and breakfast the first day which was a huge help until we could get to the grocery store.I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone elderly or with little kids—no railing on the stairs or paved paths. You need a car to stay here, for sure. And the bed in the main room was so hard we bought an air mattress to put on top of it. But otherwise, it was a wonderful stay!
