Beautiful riverfront property with incredibly helpful and hospitable hosts. The layout is good for groups seeking privacy, as every bedroom has its own external entrance. The highlight was the gorgeous garden filled with flowers and coffee plants. Highly recommend—I look forward to returning!

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.

Friendly house and owners

The property was large and well manicured. There is a small coffee farm on site. We asked to participate in the harvesting and had a fun and learning experience. The home was spread out, but had all the amenities we needed for our 4 week stay. Highly recommend this location.

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.

Lovely place, lovelier hosts

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!

Lovely mountain getaway with generous and caring hosts. Comfy bedroom w gorgeous view, access to gorgeous and working coffee farm - great coffee!! Car needed for easy mobility. Great access to national parks and numerous towns and San Jose. Second bedroom is separate from main accommodations, which we didn’t need so it was fine.

Beautful space and amazing hosts

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.
