I want to share my experience, so nobody will get ripped off again. I was so stupid believing to all those tripadvisor's reviews.
This place is a junk, old dormitory style. There are no nice owners. Basically, what the owner does is spending his time on the Internet to write all those nice reviews about his propriety.
He has to lie just to keep his business going. There is no good deal 50$ a night. For only 15$ a night you can stay at brend new aparthotel in Cabarete, named Sansouci. After I refused to stay there owner did not returned my money back. I booked that nasty place for 2 weeks and lost one week of my deposit. I am very disapointed how some people doing business but it will not last for long. I am reporting owner of this place for fraud, advance fee scheme and not delivery of services.

I booked a week stay in the hotel. I must say I'm a bit conflicted in writing this review. I went with high expectations that of the hotel because of the reviews i read here, but was a bit disappointed.

The pros:
-quaint little place
-For the price, it's good value.
-The owners are super friendly and accommodating and hospitable.
-It's in the heart of Sosua, very easy to find and bars and restaurants are within 5 mins walk.
-A very nice restaurant is around the corner 2 mins walk from casa valeria
-Staff is nice and polite
-24 hr guarded. Daytime by the owners, night time by a guard at the gate. Gate is locked at night, only residents are allowed in.
-small and cozy. <10 rooms in the whole place.
-clean fridge, bathroom, kitchen. clean towels every day.
-feel quite safe
-US $15 cab ride from airport. $6(200 pesos) from cabarete one way.

The cons:
-One of the rooms is being renovated. So construction work starts at 8am and ends at 6pm. i got waken up every morning
-The twin beds do not give enough support to back. The pillows are crappy. I wake up every day with a sore back and neck.
-Might have bugs in some beds. I have at least 10 bug bites on my legs. it's not mosquito bites, but probably some invisible tiny bugs.
-A/C works ok in small room, not in the big ones. at least the fan makes it tolerable.
-room is dark. lights are dim.
-bring your own shampoo and conditioner. only soap and 2 towels are provided.

If you are going kiteboarding, stay somewhere in cabarete instead. You'll hate the commute. If you stay in sosua or might venture to puerto plata and cabarete, this might be a good place in the middle.

I would rather pay $25-75 more to stay at a more comfortable hotel.

We booked Casa Valeria for part of our honeymoon after reading such positive reviews on tripadvisor.com. This is the best value you can find in Sosua - a quiet, charming place to stay for an EXCELLENT value. Casa Valeria is steps away from Playa Alicia (a quiet beach) and a 10 minute walk from Playa Sosua (the more populated but extremely beautiful beach). The owners - Arien & Diana - were extremely accomodating and helped my husband & I take care of everything we needed to. We also had breakfast there every morning and the food there was fresh & simple. this is a great find, but make sure you book early - we wanted to stay an extra night, but they are booked almost year round!

Wanted to see sosua and was recommended this hotel by a local diving instructer, who used to stay here.
We loved it - extremely friendly dutch couple is running a small 7 room hotel with a pool.
My family realy liked it there. Good food and clean, cosy rooms with aircon, fans and fridge. Two rooms in the hotel has a kitchen, but didn't try that.
