The staff were friendly, and very accommodating, they helped me figure out my route for the next day with patience clear

Short walk to the beach, very secure entrance, and open space to hang out with and relax with a view.

The stairs is a nice aesthetic but could be cumbersome if you have trouble with mobility.

Beautiful guest house, beautiful location.

The owner and staff are on premises and very happy to help with any needs.

More than likely, the reviews are fake. I explain why in my review.

I almost didn't stay after arriving because the property did not match the photos on Booking.com. However, my reservation was non-refundable, so I would have been charged anyway. After checking in, I only left my backpack in the room because I already had a restaurant reservation and was running about 30 minutes late due to transportation delays. I returned around 11:30 p.m. The host claims I was drunk and trying to enter the wrong room. That is false. I simply confused my room with the one next door because I had barely looked at the room when I checked in. Mistaking one hotel room for the neighboring one is something that can happen to anyone. I had a few beers with dinner, which is perfectly normal while on vacation, but I was not intoxicated. I have witnesses from both that evening and the following morning who can confirm this. The next morning at 8am, I asked (by WhatsApp) whether I could check out at 12:00 p.m. because I was exhausted after long travels. I offered to pay for the extra hour. The host insisted that checkout was at 10:00 a.m., even though Booking.com states that checkout is from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. To me, that indicates guests may leave anytime within that time window. When I mentioned that the information on Booking.com should be corrected if checkout was actually at 10:00 a.m., the situation escalated. The host came to my door and banged on it so aggressively that I feared for my safety. I asked him to give me a moment to get dressed, but he repeatedly demanded that I leave immediately while continuing to knock forcefully. All of this happened simply because I questioned the checkout time listed on Booking.com. I left your guest house at 8:30am so you tell me if I was awake at 10am? Once I packed my belongings, I tried to pay for the night, but he refused to accept my payment. Instead, he accused me of "making trouble." When I asked what trouble I had caused, he could not provide an answer.

He also told me that he had not wanted to accept my reservation because I am Costa Rican and that his wife convinced him to let me stay because I was traveling alone. I had never met this man before. The only things he knew about me were my name and my nationality. I found this deeply upsetting and discriminatory. No guest should be judged because of their nationality. If certain nationalities are not welcome, that should be clearly stated before people book, rather than treating guests differently after they arrive. The host response says I am "not welcome back." Honestly, after being treated so aggressively, I would never have wanted to return. I was so shaken by the experience that I left the country the following day because I no longer felt safe. Why would he even remotely think I would ever want to return! Such strange comment to reply with. I also find it difficult to reconcile my experience with the overwhelmingly positive reviews describing the host as kind and welcoming. My husband looked through the reviews and noticed repeated patterns in the wording that made him question their authenticity. In addition, the taxi driver who drove me away told me the guesthouse was relatively new and had not even been operating for a year, yet there are reviews that appear to be older than that. I cannot verify whether this is true, but it is something future guests may wish to look into. Also, how is the host able to submit this response if, according to Booking, he marked my reservation as a no-show? Here he's reviewing me as a guest at his guesthouse, yet on Booking he marked me as a no-show and even canceled my reservation. Obviously, this is someone who can't be trusted. There are so many lies in his response, it's so scared to even think people are being hosted by this man. (Sadly, I can't add the video and the WhatsApp messages in here but I have proofs to backup my words)

Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily return.

We had a wonderful stay here and couldn’t recommend it more. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, friendly, and always willing to go above and beyond to help with anything we needed. The property was spotless throughout our stay, and the kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and well maintained. It truly felt like a home away from home. We’d gladly stay here again!

The only downside is the location, which is a bit of a double edged sword. It’s perfectly situated within walking distance of everything in San Juan del Sur, making it incredibly convenient. However, it’s also next to a popular party hostel, so from Thursday through Sunday you can expect to hear music and noise late into the night and into the early morning. If you’re a light sleeper, it’s something to keep in mind. Outside of that, it’s a fantastic place that offers plenty of privacy and truly feels like a home away from home.

La hospitalidad y atención de los dueños

No sabía que había música de una discoteca cercana hasta las 4 de la mañana. De cuatro noches, dos no pude dormir. No volvería a este hostal.
