Pousada São Jorge

We stayed at the Eco-Camping that is part of the pousada Sao Jorge and we couldn't have chosen a better place! The beds were comfortable the bathrooms are spacious and clean. The place itself is an oasis with a huge couch to hang out and watch movies in the garden that is full of acerola trees and well maintained but the highlight is the pousadas staff. Felipe, the owner, is and incredibly friendly guy and even had time to have a beer with us. The guys at the reception, Bruno and Adonai were incredibly helpful and always had a hint about where to get the best dinner, how to go about the trips, get from a to b and booked all the day trips and transports for us. Bruno really is one of a kind. He is always on top of things and very organised. That's what I call customer care!! Without these two our stay wouldn't have been the same. Breakfast was great as well by the way!!

“Home away from home and amazing breakfasts”

The pousada has been managed by Giuliana and her husband for the past couple of years (so many previous reviews are about the time before that).

The pousada has been managed by Giuliana and her husband for the past couple of years (so many previous reviews are about the time before that). Giuliana and her husband did not speak English but they certainly made us feel at home and were extremely helpful. We stayed at the pousada for 5 nights. The bedroom was basic but there was AC and warm water for the shower. During the day it was very hot outside so the AC did not completely cool down our room. The breakfasts were fantastic: every day freshly pressed orange juice (not diluted like in some other places), watermelon juice and a third option. Every day there was a different freshly baked cake. Also the warm snacks varied every day. We enjoyed the common area where we made barbecue. There was abundant space to park our car. We would definitely recommend this pousada and it was very moderately priced.

“reasonable pousada with improvements needed”

My friend and I stayed at Pousada Sao Jorge for five nights while visiting Bonito as tourists. What we liked: the pousada was good value, staff were friendly, a basic breakfast was included, WIFI was reliable (even though we were warned Bonito generally has poor WIFI), the pousada offers complimentary passes to the local gym, and the location of the pousada is central and excellent. The pousada acts as a tour agency so we were able to easily book activities (we highly recommend tours to the Gruta do Lago Azul and Rio da Prata). What didn’t like and what could be improved: Our room was basic and small, which wouldn’t normally be a problem but our room had a very noticeable problem with mould and ventilation. Even though we visited Bonito during a dry month the room had a damp feel and there were visible signs of mould on the walls of the room and particularly on the ceiling of the bathroom and shower curtain (see photos). This was a issue because I don’t normally have a problem with allergies but every time I walked into the room I experienced symptoms of hayfever (sneezing, itchy palate and eyes, etc). I needed to take anti-histamines for the duration of the stay. The pousada would benefit by refreshing the room with a thorough clean and paint. We used the communal kitchen twice which was a great way to have a casual meal. However, the kitchen is very basic (limited utensils, limited crockery (no bowls), mismatch of cutlery, cigarette lighter to light the gas stove, etc). There was also very limited cleaning products including a disgusting sponge which makes it difficult for guests to keep the area clean (see photo). This kitchen was well below the standard I’ve experienced at similar accommodation but could be easily improved with some new utensils, crockery, cutlery, and regularly changing of sponges and tea towels. Overall, 3 stars. I probably wouldn’t recommend it based on the poor sleep quality and the many options available in Bonito.
