I booked my room well in advance since I heard good reviews about this place. However, on my first night, I felt bed bugs crawling over me and I could not sleep because the bites were so insanely itchy!!! When I complained about the bed bugs, at first they told me that it was mosquitos. I showed them the multiple... More

I am all bu positive about this place and I'll tell you why: I booked a single room for 12000 pesos per day ( fixed price, cheap for this expensive town). In return i got a nice place with great atmosphere and tranquility close to the center of activity. The room is clean. I receive wifi very well, bed is... More

The woman who runs this hostel is very hard working, multilingual and ensures your stay is comfortable. Cheap single rooms are available but you must book in advance (about $20). Dorm room near main road is loud so try get one away from the road/reception. They scrub the hostel clean every day. They have mixed dorms with 4 beds. The... More

Centrally located, we were very well suprised by this hostel, first because it is quite cheap for SPA, and the cleanliness of the place. We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom. Room was clean. All rooms are distributed around a central patio, with 4-5 bathrooms which are regularly cleaned by the ladies, so it was very convenient and... More

Certain aspects of this place were decent and I am sure the place would be fine for an elderly couple but do not go here if you might want to have a beer anytime after 6pm. According to the crazy French woman who runs this place, there is a no alcohol policy and she referred to a sign that read,... More

Breakfast is not included but the hostal has a deal with a restaurant just behind. Above all, the staff is extremely friendly and available. The hostel is well maintained and... More

We stayed for 2 nights at Hostel sonchek and had a very good time. The room was spotlessly clean,the showers were good and hot, and they even provided towels for us. It is in a very convenient location, and easy walk from the bus station(even in altitude). The wifi did not work very well in the rooms and is turned... More

Stayed here for 1 night in late Dec 2012. I met a couple on the Salt Flats Tour and travelled with them to San Pedro - they had made a reservation at Sonchek in advance and had the email to prove it. However, when they turned up, the owner said that she had given their room away as they had... More

We make it clear to everybody who makes the reservation in our hotel, that it should be re-confirmed two or three days before arrival, otherwise we won´t garantee the reservation. This is a safety measure for us- since we don´t charge anything in advance and we want to be sure that persons will apear for sure, otherwise we loose too... More

This was the first time we got a complaint respect to the night guard- never ever nothing like this happened before, and we think/after talking to him/ that this is a misinterpretation. Just to make it clear- we spoke to him seriously and next day we assured the guests that it will not happen again. We offered the room with... More
