Guest Reviews

• Mary (10/5): Lovely place, oasis in San Jose close to airport for easy access - Old school charm, oasis location & friendly, helpful staff, very handy for airport Nothing comes to mind
• Cynthia (10/5): - We love everything at the Trapp Family Country Inn! Spacious comfortable rooms, great food in the restaurant, the outdoor space with a pool in a park like setting, the friendly and helpful staff.... Everything is well maintained and appointed. Lovely lovely lovely. We will return and we will recommend to friends. Oh! And just over a mile away from the airport.
• Anna Dagbjort (10/5): Close to airport, very safe - Great location, wonderful staff and the breakfast was very good. I forgot my iPad in the room after checking out and they found it and contacted me straight away
• Julian (10/5): -
• Deanna (8/5): - Secluded but close the airport. Nice pool. Service was really good. No ac. There is a fan and would have been fine with windows open but we were on the ground floor and it was a balcony. We did not want animals on. It was not too bad but a little warm.
• Rue (10/5): Trapp Family hotel stay - Beautifully appointed and it felt secluded even though you were on a main road. Very close to the airport. You good here the planes taking off but with balcony door shut you could still sleep.
• Bruce Takasaki (9/5): -
• Bob (7/5): - Not air conditioned
• Heather (10/5): -
• Smyth (5/5): - The staff, cleanliness and proximity to the airport. Also, the free breakfast in the morning was delicious. No AC, and the whole place had a sewer like stench that was difficult to overcome.
• Kamilla (10/5): - En lille oase helt tæt ved lufthavnen. Perfekt efter en lang flyvetur.
• Sophie (9/5): Awesome hotel to enjoy Costa Rica’s beauties - The vegetation (trees!) and pool were awesome. The balcony from our room. The patio of the restaurant
• Tanya C-W (10/5): Safe, convenient and friendly! - The hosts and the staff are SUPER HELPFUL and very friendly. There is a resident cat (reception assistant) - super sweet and a total added bonus. VERY VERY nice and safe place to stay - TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!
• David (10/5): Great place for overnight before an early flight or after a late arrival - location: conveniently close to the airport - a 5 minute uber or taxi ride. Charming - an older property full of old world charm. Host was very welcoming, and dinner was delicious. Charming garden. Bed was very clean and comfortable. It is located close to the end of the runway, so jet take off noise was noticeable, though not disturbing.
• SIMONA (7/5): - Breakfast was great , the staff were really nice, friendly and very helpful, always with a smile! Love their garden and location to the airport, I would definitely recommend it and stay there again!
• Siegfried (10/5): Kan bare anbefale videre. - Alt var Bra.
• Roberto (10/5): -
• Angela (10/5): Trato cálido y súper confortable - Un oasis en medio de la ciudad. Una extensión de la selva. Todo el personal muy amable, nos trataron con mucho cariño. Muy cerca del aeropuerto.
• Florence (10/5): Easy first night with small kids. - Great first stop off from the flight with young kids. Took an orange taxi from the airport and it was less than 10mins drive. Husband collected the hire car easily the next morning while we swam in the pool. We liked the breakfast but could have eaten double!
• Karin (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (8/5): Excellent spot 5-10 minute drive from SJO. Helpful staff, lovely pool and quiet country atmosphere. - Tico style breakfast was excellent. The only negative was the great proximity to SJO hence planes landing and presumably also taking off. Reality however was that the bed was so comfortable I pretty much slept through the occasional noise of planes.
• Bickel (9/5): Superb - We had dinner at the hotel and the food and service were excellent. The grounds are beautiful and the hotel is charming with old world style Air conditioning
• Wichlei (10/5): If you dont want to give up authentic Costa Rica and stay close to the airport, this is the place. - This was the perfect place to stay the night before departing from San Jose airport. It's only a mile away. You are in the middle of the city, turn onto a dirt road and through tbe security gate into a secluded tropical paradise! The rooms are very clean and large, and the restaurant was great and fairly priced. Would highly recommend if you're looking to get close to the airport the day before your flight.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Wonderful - Welcoming reception lovely staff.. good food and felt safe for a solo traveller Nothing
• Domino (5/5): Staff is friendly however the owner is an ass. - Good location Not like it used to be.
• Mike (10/5): Awesome - This place is in oasis. There’s a 300 year old tree that is so majestic. The property is gorgeous. The rooms are clean and the beds are Actually, queen sized. The dinner in the restaurant was also very good. It’s also very near the airport. Because it is near the airport there’s of course noise from the airport, but I would still stay here again every time.
• Jet (9/5): Great place to start or end holiday in CR! - Lovely place, big rooms, refreshing pool, close to airport (5 min), very helpful and friendly staff. Good food. Only 8 rooms, so happy to get to be here for 2 nights before leaving Costa Rica, Musquitos and planes, no a/c. Didn't bother us, but could be annoying. Paid 20 dollar for taxi from airport. That was way too much! (Staff made sure we only had to pay 10 dollar going from hotel to airport)
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claire (8/5): Ok for airport stopover - Old country house with lovely established garden and pool near to Airport. Ok for 1 night. Limited menu and the hotel wasn’t near to any restaurants you could walk to. No choice at breakfast even though we paid for it on top of our room cost.
• Jerry (5/5): Nice place but very noisy - The stuff is always nice there. It's a nice jungle like ground setting and the nice old facility The worst part about the stay is the old wooden patio doors wobble and rattle all night as the wind blows and it squeaks and keeps you up all night. And of course the airplanes flying over all night keeps you up as well
• Nora (9/5): Beautiful spot for catching a plane the next day! - Such a beautiful oasis in the middle of a bustling city! Staff was great. So close to the airport. A little more attention could be given to the room itself. Soap dispensers were almost empty. A breaker had blown and so some lights and hair dryer did not work until brought to their attention.
• Anke (10/5): An amazing hotel surrounded by old forest super close to airport. - Very professional and supportive staff
• Bill (8/5): Very good -
• Habachy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roberts (9/5): Beautiful garden oasis with historic charm near the airport. -
• Aline (9/5): Superb - Its very close to the airport. The beds are comfortable, it also has a nice pool and the garden is very beautiful. The staff is very nice, we had a late check in at 11:30pm. If you are a light sleeper, it could get loud at night from the airplanes, however, for us it wasn’t a problem:)
• Julie (8/5): Good airport hotel - The rooms and beds were big, and the pool area was nice. There was a small lounge near dining area where people watched the Super Bowl. Nice to have a restaurant on site. The staff were kind in booking us a cab to go to airport for an early morning flight. The lovely big trees around were great. And it was a distance off the main road so less noisy except for the jets. Our bedside light didn’t work. The restaurant menu was very limited and meat based.
• Eileen (9/5): Superb -
• Gray (9/5): Superb -
• Margo (9/5): A lovely stay close to the airport - The Trapp Family Country Inn was a perfect place to spend the night near to San Jose airport. We arrived at the airport at 6pm and didn't want to begin our drive to Puerto Viejo at night. We found it very easy and convenient to stay at the Trapp Family Country Inn, and then pick up our rental car at the airport in the morning. Our taxi driver had no issues finding this location after dark, and a receptionist greeted us for check-in. The room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was delicious. A great stay! Everything was wonderful.
• Janae (7/5): Good - The garden, layout and the buildings are beautiful. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings. There is a security guard present overnight. The bed was comfortable. There was a sewage smell outside which made me not want to sit on the patio Toilet barely flushed No AC Traffic during evening commute times on street hotel is on was at a stand still. It took our Uber driver over 30 minutes to go 0.5 miles to reach us. He states that this is normal from 5 to 8pm. It was hard to go out to eat dinner because of this.
• Jeffrey (9/5): Loved it! Jungle oasis in the city. - The room was very nice and clean with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool area and junglely environment with the pleasant sound of a nearby rushing river. So nice considering you are pretty much in the middle of a city. Breakfast was terrific and huge and only $10 per person. It's not a luxurious place, but definitely a great value for the price. I know that it's difficult to provide transportation from/to the airport, but being an English speaking American and first time traveler to CR, getting a taxi from one of the many taxi hawkers at the airport is intimidating. Person at Trapp estimated it would be about $10, but taxi driver at airport said $15. This is not a complaint about Trapp or the money per se, it's just the "negotiation" process that I hate, especially with the chaos of an airport, customs, luggage, language, etc..
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anita (10/5): This little hotel is a complete gem. It is exactly as in the pictures .Wonderful first night in CR. - This little hotel is a complete gem. It is exactly as in the pictures .Wonderful first night in CR. A traditional building with lovely veranda under the trees. It is 600m (yes 600m) from the AVIS car rental office at airport but not under flight path so minimal noise. The garden is so beautiful, the rooms, restaurant and pool are simple but ample and clean. Staff helpful. Good directions for getting west/north . Already booked to return. More fresh fruit with breakfast .....can't think of anything else
• Cynthia (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel was nestled in the jungle in the city. A beautiful setting and lovely place. Everyone was friendly and service was awesome! We loved the place
• John (10/5): comfortable stay - large spacious apt very nice
• Johannes (10/5): Great hotel near airport - Amazing green oasis just 10 min out of SJo airport. Great staff and good and fresh breakfast.
• Deana (8/5): Very good - The gardens at the hotel are beautiful and very peaceful. The hotel staff are very friendly. You can tell the hotel is well cared for. The only disappointment was the noise of the planes taking off so close to the hotel. We did not know this when we booked.
• Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natalie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lee (6/5): A good place to stay for a night that is close to the airport. - We really enjoyed the grounds (setting) of the hotel. Checking in was quick and easy. The front desk staffer (Rachel) was awesome. The colonial style of the hotel. Proximity to the airport for early morning flights. No air conditioning in the hotel. Beds were not very comfortable. Food prices were a little pricey. Proximity to airport (noise from planes).
• Louis (10/5): Wonderful staff, family feel. -
• Patrick (7/5): The staff were excellent and breakfast too! - Very close to the airport, the property was well maintained I don’t want this to come across negatively. The rain was very bad in the whole of the country prior to our arrival The room was very musty smelling so airing the room or a dehumidifier would have helped greatly before us getting there
• Diane (10/5): This was perfect, I wouldn’t have chosen any other place, location was great, - Location was perfect from the airport. Great communication with staff, beautiful Inn I wish I could have stayed longer. The staff definitely goes above and beyond! I will be recommending it to my friends the are going to Costa Rica. I really wish I could have stayed here for days, it so beautiful! I’m a little spoiled with my creature features at home. I wish there would have been a small refrigerator in the room. It was perfect without it.
• John (10/5): I would definitely return to your Inn on my next visit to SJO -
• Alice (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kathlyn (5/5): Even though it was a little rough I would stay again and recommend to friends and family. - The staff is very nice and the food is incredible. The pillows were comfortable and the room spacious, clean and cozy. The bathroom was large and shower was great. The property is beautiful. The pool was very nice and clean. There was no air conditioning in the room and no windows with screens to keep out bugs. The bed was uncomfortable could feel the inside. Even though it was a little rough I would stay again and recommend to friends and family.
• Andrew (9/5): Recommended place to stay if you need somewhere close to the airport. - We needed an airport hotel for the night, it’s close by for convenience and set in a relaxing large garden that is well maintained with a pool. You can hear the big jets taking off but that didn’t disturb our nights sleep, we slept well in a large room with comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Airport taxi arranged by hotel cost $10 and arrived early for our 04.00 transport. Not much.
• Penny (10/5): Good photo ops in the garden. - Food was good. Birding in the garden area with my camera was great. Rooms were big and modern. Comforter on bed was too hot. I would have been happy with a sheet and blanket.
• Patricia (9/5): Superb -
• Caitlin (7/5): Perfect hotel for airport arrival and departure! - The location is great the grounds are gorgeous. The restaurant was delicious! The doors were all open in room when arrived and lots of bugs in room and on end
• Richnak (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natalie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ellen (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and the property was beautiful. It was a little oasis in a big city.
• Morse (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natalie (9/5): Excellent hotel for night near airport. - So close to airport but still gives you the feeling of being in Costa Rica. Staff is wonderful
• Luis (10/5): Nice, wed go back again - Staff, grounds, atmosphere
• Tessa (8/5): A very comfortable relaxed and calm place to finish our trip. - A green oasis so close to the airport. The pool was a real bonus Occasional overhead planes though quiet at night
• Samantha (8/5): Very good -
• Julien (8/5): Cute and convinently located hotel with nice staff. Expect some noise due to the nearby airport. - The bed was clean and comfortable, the staff was nice and helpful, the food was good and decently priced. Also, the place is quite nice and quiet (if you ignore the noise from the airport nearby) and conveniently close to SJO (5-10 minutes by car). My main comment is about the noise. I had the first room in the hotel building and could hear the hall door banging whenever someone entered the building. The windows/doors to the outside are also quite thin, so expect to hear the nearby airport. I had earplugs and slept well nonetheless.
• Heather (9/5): Superb -
• Carol (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, near the airport. Clean basic rooms with balconies that overlook the beautiful gardens. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.
• Nancy (9/5): Convenient stay close to the airport - We were greeted by Pablo who made us feel like special guests throughout our stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the grounds were well kept. Nothing!!!
• Paul (7/5): Good for a quiet stay. Get food elsewhere. - Very close to SJO airport. Beautiful private setting. Enclosed green park-like grounds with fruit trees and floral bushes. Large spaces, airy and cool. Large, comfortable roomsand public spaces. Food was mediocre . Staff was mostly helpful but the person who checked us in was clueless about helping with a bag as she showed us our room up a flight of stairs. We are older adults .
• Amalie (10/5): Great stay - Everything was just amazing. The sheets and towels looked all’s new and the furniture was not worn out at all. Pool areas was nice as well. Staff was super helpful! Don’t take the small roads from west. We were in traffic for 2 hours (!) but the distance was only 5km. Take the highway.
• David (10/5): Couldnt ask for a better place to stay. - The architecture and the grounds were wonderful. The rooms were beautiful with their Spanish style furniture and balcony overlooking the pool. Everything worked and the beds were comfortable. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. They arranged a taxi for us for 4am! As well the airport was only a few minutes away. On top of everything the price was very reasonable. The entrance off the street was a little rough but OK :).
• Laurie (9/5): Superb - We were not able to have breakfast due to an early flight but they had nice hot coffee for us and arranged our cab I ordered the expensive steak for dinner and it was inedible -very tough grisly. The vegetables and mashed potatoes were fine
• Lesley (9/5): Superb - Great welcome and convenient for San Jose airport Nothing
• Luzie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nick (10/5): Exceptional - Close to the airport. Lovely balcony. Beds and linen made for a comfortable night's sleep. Cold swimming pool meant that we didn't use the pool.
• Christie (2/5): Noise Seriously Prevents Sleep - Clean and quite pleasant appearance. Staff were very pleasant. Noise so great I couldn’t sleep a minute the first night. Two noise sources: first, directly under an airplane flight path with frequent flights late at night and early in the morning; secondly, ceramic tiles in hallway meant people rolling suitcases down hallway late at night was very noisy and disturbing. Also, mattress was extremely hard. If you care about your sleep, I wouldn’t recommend this place. If you have an early morning flight, an Uber from SAN Jose will get you there in 15 minutes after a decent sleep.
• Mark (8/5): Was a very short drive from the airport the hotel is exceptional! A nice man took us to our room no beer or pop availab - It was a exceptional property There were no facility’s for a late arrival
• Kraig (9/5): Very beautiful property. - Breakfast was good and plentiful Loud airplanes taking off Dinner was good but not great
• Christine (9/5): Superb - Beautiful setting. Close to airport gardens are wonderful. No AC
• Ron (10/5): Exceptional - Very good atmosphere being so close to airport. Nothing
• Fern (9/5): We had a very good time -
• Kathy (9/5): Superb - Breakfast was amazing, property was beautiful! The room had no AC and we were quite warm at night.
• Lisa (10/5): Lovely lush gardens surrounding beautiful boutique hotel. - Beautiful buildings and gardens in a peaceful setting. Sounds of a nearby stream. Breakfast was delicious. Occasional airplane noise. As with most hotels around Juan Marie International Airport it can take 20 minutes to drive 2 miles - not because of traffic. Routes are complicated and not direct.
• Gary (6/5): Good location for catching a morning flight - Staff (Rachel) was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome - even walked us to our room. Proximity of this property to the airport is really good, which made our rental car return very easy. Felt secure at all times. Good option for a one-night stay to catch a morning flight. The neighborhood/town is EXTREMELY busy with traffic congestion all day/night long. Being so close to the airport, made for a loud stay. Driveway into property is like going 4-wheeling and the rooms really need some updating and maintenance.
• Nagaraj (9/5): Superb - Beautiful property and very friendly staff.
• Ian (8/5): Very good -
• Cecily (8/5): Very good -
• Jenna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Barrera (10/5): Very satisfactory stay near airport. - We liked the on-site restaurant which is in a separate building in a large open air space. The staff communicated with us everyday to ask about our dining preferences for the next meal. For us, the hotel was just a convenient overnighter near the airport, but we could have stayed here comfortably for much longer.
• Malin (10/5): Perfect stay for an overnight close to the airport - Loved it - could’ve stayed longer :-) Such a great hotel with lovely staff, incredibly spacious rooms and perfect location for an overnight stay ahead of an AM flight!
• Janelle (9/5): Oasis close to the airport - Considering this is really close to the airport, it’s a beautiful little escape and way more of a value deal than staying at the Hilton or Holiday Inn. The whole property is like a little oasis, covered with trees and greenery, and is situated right next to the river. It was a beautiful place and perfect for our day before our flight. The pool could have been cleaner. It was covered with debris and bugs so it wasn’t as pleasant to swim in as it could have been.
• John (8/5): Very good - No air conditioners
• Sanborn (10/5): Exceptional - Kind and friendly staff, beautiful hotel and grounds, super close to the airport.
• Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional -
