Online Scams in San Juan del Sur

False Accommodation Reviews and Booking Fraud

Some guesthouses and hostels in San Juan del Sur maintain inflated review profiles using false reviews or by pressuring guests to leave positive reviews before checking out. Properties look significantly better online than they are in person — photos show renovated rooms that are not actually available at the listed price. A smaller number of properties have taken bookings for rooms that don't exist and deny the reservation on arrival.
