Unbiased Sonesta reviews, opening up every stay
We book each stay ourselves and publish exactly what we find, so you can see what Sonesta is really like before you book.
Our purpose
Opening up the world of Sonesta, one honest stay at a time
Sonesta Reviews exists to give travelers the unbiased, first-hand account that hotel marketing never will. We stay as paying guests, use every part of the property the way you would, and publish exactly what we find — the strong parts and the parts that fell short.
Just real rooms, real service and real scores, so you know what to expect before you book.
Real, paid stays
Every room is booked and paid for like any other guest, so nothing sways how we score it.
Every detail logged
The pool, the bar, room service, check-in — each part of the stay is timed, photographed and scored on its own.
One property at a time
We're working through the Sonesta portfolio stay by stay, opening up what each property is actually like to visit.
How a Sonesta review gets written
We walk through every stage of the stay and rate each amenity we actually used along the way — nothing is skipped and nothing is scored from memory.
Amenities
Pools, decks, cabanas and every on-site perk get the same scrutiny — upkeep, staff attentiveness and how relaxing the space actually feels.
