We were greeted with a welcome drink and a little food by the housekeeper Miriam, a lovely lady! Laurie, the owner, went above and beyond to help us arrange everything, even car rental options! They were very welcoming and flexible about our late check-out. Highly recommended!

This is perfect !

Great accommodations, very clean and friendly.

It was a very warm welcome by Miriam. She immediately offered coffee or something like that. Her banana bread is the best. She also showed us the room which is very nice.

What an incredible experience we had at Laurie's bed & breakfast. Laurie was so helpful and knowledgeable about everything! and helped us to customize our time in Costa Rica. She had great suggestions on where to go, what to do, and places to eat and we enjoyed all of it!!! She definitely made our trip memorable. She is a very gracious and welcoming host. She and Miriam made us the most delicious breakfasts daily, I especially loved the pineapple pancakes, as well as a yummy snack when we arrived! They were truly there to take care of our every need and it was much appreciated! Miriam is an angel and the sweetest lady ever! Such a great experience! Cant wait to go back and see more of Costa Rica and see Laurie & Miriam again!

Laurie was very kind and welcoming and made sure to give instructions in advance how to get here from the airport. The room was clean and had everything we needed with access to a lovely balcony. Miriam is a wonderful cook and made an excellent breakfast the next morning. A menagerie of friendly pets also welcomed us.

We only stayed one night at the Cariari b&b before flying back to United States, we had a great fun time there. Laurie, the lady that manages this place is remarkable, she can help you with any questions you have about the area, the food and activities and about Costa Rica in general. Miriam is Laurie’s sidekick is also very helpful. The b&b location is perfect, close to a plaza with several restaurants, and also very convenient to the airport and rental car places. The happy hour with beer and wine and snacks was a nice surprise and the breakfast was very very tasty and filling. If you are looking for a place in San Jose that is also in a close proximity to the airport, do not hesitate and book Cariari Bed and Breakfast.

Our family of five had an absolutely wonderful stay here - The hospitality was above and beyond and the property is beautiful. Laurie and Miriam are wonderful hosts. Miriam made the worlds best pineapple pancakes for breakfast and we had such lovely conversation with the hosts. My three kids loved their sweet dogs and parrot. Thank you for the incredible hospitality!

Ever find a place you want to schedule a entire vacation around? Well, this is one of those places. Everything was better than imagined! The home, family, staff and fury friends made for a memorable stay. We can’t wait to journey back to Costa Rica just so we can stay here again!

I was kindly welcomed on my arrival and they went above and beyond to accommodate every request. They customized my breakfast each morning and it was delicious.

What a gem! Laurie was an incredible hostess for my very short stay. I was traveling as a solo female and she even insisted on going out to dinner with me as I arrived late and wasn’t familiar with the area. If you’re an animal lover you will enjoy her sweet pups and kitty. I would absolutely recommend a stay here to anyone, it really feels like a home away from home. I was sent off for my very early flight in the morning with some fresh coffee and the most amazing banana bread packed up to go for me by Miriam. Stay here, you won’t regret it!

We ended a perfect vacation at this perfect B&B.

I chose this bed and breakfast because I wanted something that had the look and feel of a typical Costa Rican home and yet amenities of a hotel. Laurie arranged transportation for us from the airport to the bed and breakfast. Mariam prepared a delicious typical Costa Rican breakfast for us the next morning. We even had some homemade pepper jelly made by Laurie. Laurie was instrumental in making our Costa Rican vacation so wonderful. She went above and beyond in making arrangements for us to see this beautiful country. What an adventure!

Very pleasant stay. Laurie and staff were very helpful and friendly.

What an amazing place, the owner Laurie is a gracious, charming and caring person ...was a pleasure to get to know her and she is a new friend for our future... if considering staying there, call her first to confirm and more importantly to get exact directions to her house

We're newlyweds and we spent a night with Laurie in her home in order to stay closer to the airport as we had an early flight the next day. We were hoping for more personality than you'd get with the Marriotts and Hiltons, and we were not disappointed. We arrived early and were welcomed right in, whisked to the back patio to enjoy breakfast (bagels, cinnamon bread, banana bread, fruit spread, eggs, rice and beans, coffee, juice), all made on the fly by the wonderful cooks Laurie and Miriam (
