Accommodation Scams in Montañita

Overpriced Accommodation Bait-and-Switch

Hostels and guesthouses in Montañita frequently advertise rooms at low rates online but claim the booking doesn't exist or the room is unavailable upon arrival, then offer a higher-priced alternative. This is common during peak season (carnival in February and Semana Santa) when demand dramatically outstrips supply. Some properties show fake inventory on booking platforms.
