Accommodation Scams in Puerto Escondido

Accommodation Overcharge and Hidden Fees

Some hostels and guesthouses in Puerto Escondido's Zicatela zone charge fees not disclosed at booking — for towels, fan use, WiFi access, or safe use — that inflate the actual cost significantly above the advertised rate. Budget properties also sometimes lock in travelers with multi-night deposits and then fail to deliver on promised amenities like working air conditioning or hot water.
