“Excellent stay in San Jose”
We had an AMAZING stay at Hotel Presidente! We had a harrowing drive from La Fortuna and from the second we pulled into the driveway Pedro took care of us. He took the keys, told us to leave our bags, and sent us on our way. They gave us a free upgrade for our honeymoon to one of their "concept" ro… more

“A wonderful stay at the Hotel Presidente.”
It was a lovely stay. Super good service, all friendly people. The room was clean. Delicious breakfast. And the restaurant was fantastic. And whenever we needed help, it was a matter of course for them to assist us. Especially Nicole at the reception. Thank you all!

“Hotel good but breakfast a let down”
The hotel interior is very cool, the staff are friendly and the rooms are great. Really modern and clean with a huge shower. Our room was pretty hard to find so more signage would be great - we literally found it by mistake as there were no signs. The only let down for this hotel was the breakfas… more

“Lovely stay”
Very nice hotel with wonderful & friendly staff. I enjoyed all the live greenery draping the interior lobby of the hotel. Breakfast was delicious with a lot of variety. I liked that the bedroom windows can open, however if facing the street - it can get quite noisy.

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
