“Very Pleased”
I really liked this hotel, a beautiful historic building that was once a school. The staff are very hospitable, especially in the breakfast area, speaking of which, Flavio prepared excellent green juice for the guests and a very nice lady prepared omelettes to order. The pool is very beautiful and … more

“Amazing”
The hotel is amazing. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast is DELICIOUS! They have many options and people doing omeletes, pancakes, detox juice… the pool is also incredible. Although location wise it’s far from the beaches and a bit dodgy at night we still LOVED our stay. Thank you!

“Carnival vibe”
We went to Rio for carnival and hotel was very much decorated in the festival spirit, with samba band and dancers during the day - Flavio made the best juices! Hotel very well situated for local blocos and the sambadrome.

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There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published.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.
