• Maria Eva (10/5): Slept very well in the very quiet and serene house with friendly hosts - Fernando and Olga are very friendly and gracious hosts! I enjyoed their spotless big house and the comfortable bed! Fernando was very kind and packed the breakfast for me to take to the airport. I recommend this place to everyone who is travelling solo and wants to connect to a very down to earth and friendly family. :)

• Ayumi (10/5): - Casa Familiar la Tortuga is much more than a place to stay. One is invited into a house that has been built and maintained by loving people. It is spacious and clean. I chose it for its proximity to the airport but would chose it again regardless of its location.

• Tobias (9/5): Nur zu empfehlen - Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind sehr groß und man hat eine gigantische Aussicht auf San Jose. Parkplätze sind direkt auf dem Grundstück und sind sicher eingezäunt. Dusche und Wlan sind sehr gut, sowie die Betten. Beim Frühstück könnte es noch was dazu geben, zu den Pancakes und Rührei. Eine Obstschale gab es vorher.

• Julia (9/5): This is a quiet spacious property with kind hosts. - The property was clean, quiet and very spacious. The hosts were wonderful did our laundry for $15. We had about two large loads. Each room had extra blankets and drinking water supplied. The hosts have a funny little dog with an underbite. I didn’t realize that we wouldn’t have the house to ourselves. It is more like a bed and breakfast than a house to rent. It was all nice and the hosts were wonderful. I just thought we would have free kitchen access and total property access and we didn’t. Just a misunderstanding…
• Sorina (9/5): Superb - The family is very friendly and nice. The entire house is really pretty. Our room was huge with balcony, fridge, huge bathroom. At 7 or 8 pm there was no warm water for the shower. The water wasn't that cold so we showered like that but still.
• Zenayda (10/5): Im very grateful to God! For let me meet this wonderful family and the service and trusting . - 🥞 Breakfast 🍳 was delicious. Service excelent. Sugerencia! Hand towels. But everything great.

• Rysal (9/5): Great location, beautiful spacious house, excellent service of the hosts - Very spacious
• Satoshi (10/5): Thank you for the great hospitality! - Fantastic house!
• Demita (10/5): Comfortable, convenient, beautiful! - Casa Familiar La Tortuga was the best stay we’ve had in San Jose. Doña Olga & Don Fernando were the best hosts, that accommodated us for an early arrival, and an extra day. They made a beautiful, delicious breakfast each morning, with lovely conversation. It was truly like staying with family. We will for sure be returning every time we have to visit San Jose from now on. The location is perfect, about 30 minutes from the airport, & other city locations, but also not a far drive from some beautiful local attractions such as La Paz waterfall, Poas, etc. The neighborhood is quiet, the house is immaculate, and beyond gorgeous. The wood work in the home is so so beautiful. We were so happy with the accommodations, we decided to extend our stay in San Jose for one more night, instead of moving on to another location, luckily, our room was available for another night! Casa Familiar La Tortuga will be our home away from home from now on, and we look forward to our next visit!
• Irene (10/5): Exceptional -
• Edith (8/5): Very good - no breakfast- left early We did not know that we would have to pay for the shuttle to the site

• Nilton (6/5): Jacuzzi and bathtub are just 'decorative' - I love the location. I didn't like the fact that the jacuzzi and and bathtub don't work. They told us that when we arrived. They should have told us before. We couldn't use any if those. :/
• Brad (10/5): Terrific stay. Will come back next time in CR - Olga and Fernando were so accommodating and helpful. Perfect hosts ! Rio was also friendly. Breakfast was delightful. Further from town than we would have liked
• Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (6/5): Pleasant - The hosts were very kind. The room was nice and clean. It should be clear this is a room in a family home. There is no sense of privacy. If your noise sensitive this is not a good location, noise can be heard throughout the house and coming from outside too. If your on foot this location offers no access to anything easily, you need a car to be at this location.

Fernando cooked us a delicious breakfast, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Joseph (9/5): Superb -
• Lynn (9/5): Superb - A very clean, comfortable and secure place to stay in Heredia. There are many restaurants and local shops nearby. Close to the different bus stops that go into San Jose etc. We enjoyed our stay, Thank you.

• Martita (9/5): Polecam. - Clean place, with nice hoste and delicious desayuno! For me was to loud at night from the street. But in the same time is a great location , in center de Heredia.
• Hansen (8/5): Great central location for a stay in Heredia! - Excellent location in central Heredia, near Central Park and many restaurants. Clean, basic room with en suite bathroom. Nothing not to like: accurate description and great value.
• Katharina (9/5): Superb -
• Mikhail (8/5): Very good - If you are looking for real hotel, do not make reservation. What you are booking here is a house where family is renting out rooms. They are really nice people and provide high level hospitality. The room is clean and big and definitely worse money that you pay for.
• Nozhan (9/5): Superb - Lovely room with nice facilities and a hammock Breakfast not included
• Jeroen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christine (8/5): A comfortable place to stay - If you want to be in the city, Casa Familiar la Tortuga is well-located, close to shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. The house and rooms are comfortable and the hosts are very friendly and helpful with suggestions for dinner and directions. As always in a city, parking is difficult. We were provided a parking spot in the garage, which was definitely helpful, but with the traffic, it was tricky getting in and out. Fernando was there to help us each time.
• Joshua (10/5): Exceptional -
• Josef (6/5): Pleasant - Really noisy from some trucks or trains so couldn't sleep well
• James (9/5): Great accommodations at good price. - Friendly couple’s home. great bargain accommodations. Comfortable room and bed. Bathroom could have been better by gringo standards but was still quite satisfactory.
• Martina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lana (9/5): we felt very comfortable and safe while staying in a clean and nice apartment - it is placed central in heredia, perfect for two people. the bathroom is the best one i‘ve seen so far in costa rica. the apartment is nice, clean and perfect for two people. kitchen has everything BUT a stove, but that’s the only thing to criticize. staff was very friendly. it didn’t have a stove
