Lençóis hotels

Pros: We slept well in a comfy and spacious bed. The garden outside was nice and we could enjoy a hammock nap in it. The shower had an amazing water pressure. The staff was really friendly and helpful. We managed to have laundry done within the same day. Breakfasts were delicious and the hotel restaurant offered good food all day. There are a lot of green spaces in the hotel, with the nature blending in with it - charming.

Cons: The mosquitoes managed to get their way into the room. :(

Pros: Nice hotel. The pool and the room are nice. Everything was clean. Breakfast copious with a lot of choice and good brazilian food. Staff very nice and helpful but just one of them speak english but they try all of the time to help for book some excursion or for find a taxi. Food localisation.

Cons: Just one person speak english.

Pros: See my previous review

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very green , views and great breakfast. Very friendly owner and staff.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel is surrounded by magnificent gardens. They feed birds and little monkeys. The rooms are quiet and clean.

Pros: A wonderful, peaceful place. This has to be the best hotel we’ve been to. It was a haven and like being part of a family. Everything was of the highest standard and the wildlife surrounding the grounds was magical.

Pros: Great location near to the city center, wonderful gardens around the building(s); quiet except for Sunday evening, when loud music from downtown did not stop before midnight, otherwise very quiet. Wonderful breakfast, just what we needed to keep our energy levels high during the 3 day hikes. Pool is also very nice. Plenty of restaurants nearby (down the hill, 5 minutes of walking). Very attentive managing lady from the US, talks with each guest in the morning during breakfast. Very friendly, helpful staff.

Cons: Quality of food in restaurant (except for breakfast!) is just ok, when comparing the choices in the city they could do much better

Pros: Everything was nice but I missed vegetables at the breakfast table and dinner. Pool is open very late - as of 8am. It should be open earlier to accommodate early birds.

Cons: Lack of vegetables!

Pros: Amazing Breakfast each morning, especially Loved all the different fresh fruits!

Cons: Our room did not receive WiFi single so we had to sit out in the walkway near other rooms in order to use phone and laptop. Our room had a window seat but when we moved the pillows in order to sit down we saw that the cushions were covered in animal feces. We tried to flip to cushions over but the bottom side was badly stained and soiled as well.

Pros: Breakfast is fantastic. Great selection of quality food. The renovated rooms are 5 star rooms. The staff is very attentive and helpful. The decoration is beautiful and it really puts in contact with the local culture.

Cons: The dry sauna was not working and I think the steam room should be available all times without a charge. Besides, that everything was quite perfect.

Pros: This property exceeded our expectations. It was gay friendly, clean, the food was amazing and the facilities were super. Perfect place to rest and rejuvenate after a long 3 day hike in chapada diamanchina.

Cons: At times the service from the staff left a lot to be desired, although we think this may be due to the lack of English speakers.

Pros: Really nice hotel and facilities! The staff - and particularly Elvis - went out of their way to make our stay a perfect experience. We arrived very early by bus from Salvador and immediately received all possible support and access to all facilities. Lovely stay - would def recommend!

Cons: Nothing - the place and staff are perfect!

Pros: Superb breakfast

Cons: Lack of white wine by the glass

Pros: Free filtered water was a great bonus, free tea and biscuits in the afternoon was a nice touch, but the main thing was the location, beautiful aspect and very central to everything in the town

Cons: Slowness of breakfast staff, just a bit too laid back if you are in a hurry, as most people are because of sightseeing trips

Pros: Location in centre of town Vieuw of the river

Pros: Very sustainable concept, perfect location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast... Everything perfect

Cons: -

Pros: the whole experience with this hotel is simply remarkable!!! If your budget allows I highly recommend this to everyone. We were thinking to cancel because it's quite expensive, but at the end we were happy we didn't. definitely worth it! The design of the hotel integrates organically into the landscape and the town, which makes you feel surrounded by the running water and trees, as well as the historical buildings across the river. The hotel room is also very spacious and comfortable, very sustainably designed too (no unnecessary plastic etc..) I also booked a massage, which was provided outdoors under the trees next to the pool. Perfect.

Cons: nothing. the first night the internet did not work but it's the infrastructure of the town, nothing the hotel can do.

Pros: Location is great, place is super clean.

Cons: Restaurant not sufficiently staffed. The waiters were working extremely hard and doing their best, but the kitchen operation was managed poorly. No room service. For $500/might, I found that strange. They need to vet their service providers that they recommend to guests. The tour agency they recommended left me stranded in the middle of the road, with no cell service.

Pros: The location is good if you want to go explore Chapada Diamantina. There are a lot of agencies in town that can provide tours (we liked atraçao tourism a lot!). The ambience in the pousada is nice, and the garden is a great place to relax.

Cons: After the first night we didn’t get clean towels, and the ones we had were still humid. We had to ask for clean and dry towels. It would have been nice if they put clean ones right away when they cleaned the room. It’s a bit challenging to get warm water from the shower, and the toilet needs a bit of a manual to flush (just lift the lid of the reservoir and it fills up!). Staff is ok, but they don’t speak a lot of English.

Pros: Advise from the staff for excursions, location is perfect, breakfast ( from 7 am so super for excursions ) really good with many choices and you have it on a nice terrace in front of a cute garden, room really clean

Cons: A bit expensive for the size of the room even with promotion

Pros: Breakfast was great. The reception works 24/7

Cons: the room is a bit dark. For some reason the wifi worked with iPhone and laptop, but didn't work with my Samsung S8 (which can connect fine to all the other WiFi we used)

Pros: Very nice room in a cute pousada. Ideal location to visit the national park.

Cons: Breakfast was not great.

Pros: Staff were warm and welcoming (one even spoke english and spanish). Breakfast was fantastic - fresh squeezed juices, delicious desserts (I would kill for that passion fruit mousse cup), cheese pastries and the tapioca pancake may have changed my life (gluten intolerance). Bed was comfortable, mini bar was reasonably priced, and the bathroom was great. The hammocks in the backyard were super relaxing too. We loved it so much that we extended our stay for one night (they were sold out after that). Would 100% stay here again.

Pros: Place was clean and had nice breakfast area looking at the garden.

Cons: They were fair but not extremely forthcoming.

Pros: A good place for a short stay, close to centre but away from noise.

Cons: Rooms are tiny.

Pros: Clean, peaceful, friendly and everyone made us feel very welcome. I would definitely advice and recommend anyone to stay once in Lencois

Pros: Good location. Friendly, helpful staff, some of who can speak English. Good location. Nice garden and chill out areas. Tours organised in the hostel

Pros: Good location , interesting building

Cons: The staff seemed overwhelmed and internet was scratchy

Pros: The backyard is very pleasant and the breakfast is excellent.

Cons: A washing machine would be a nice addition.

Pros: Great staff, super lovely and very helpful for everything I needed! The breakfast is amazing, perfect choice to starting a long day with energy! Room facilities, cleanness and outside garden also the best ones! I recommend!

Pros: Helpful staff and very clean. Great breakfast before big walk!

Cons: Location, breakfast and I was able to shower before I took the night bus after my hike despite checking out.

Pros: Great location! Comfy beds with a light and a charging socket each. Also they had lockers for personal belongings inside the dorms. Breakfast was good, different things on offer everyday.

Cons: I booked a 6 bed dorm and I was put in an 8 bed dorm.

Pros: Let's all remember that this is a "Pousada" and not a full service hotel. The place was convenient, close to city center for a walk. The breakfast was VERY good with great variety and enough food to load you up till 4 pm. Our room had air conditioning, which I would say is an essential feature to keep you cool and free of mosquitos. We all slept very well. We've got a remote control for the gate and were able to park our car inside the property, so that was very safe (compare to park on the street). Dona Lia was very attentive and kind to us, especially during breakfast (nice to see the colorful birds - lots of - around during that time). Lúcio was also very helpful in providing tips on places to go, best time of the day, routes, etc.. Our room did not have TV but that was great... we were there for the Chapada!!!!! Finally, make sure you try and take some of the geléais home.

Cons: Internet service was not stable but we've handled that OK.

Pros: This is our second trip to this Pousada and we are already planning the next. Everything is perfect, the rooms are comfortable, large and very clean, the grounds are quite and beautiful and the staff are just amazing, so friendly and helpful. The Pousada is just a little out of town so you have the best of both worlds you can enjoy it’s calm and great food or get a lift into town to enjoy the vibrant restaurant streets, they even pick you up again. Do yourself a favour and stay here, it’s a truly magical place in every way !!!

Pros: I highly recommend this place. The staff is very friendly and Christl did everything to help and make our stay very pleasant, from organizing guides to picking us up in town after a nice dinner. Thanks again Christl that was so nice of you. Also the restaurant serves good food freshly made, so we ate there twice.

Pros: The location is quiet and relaxing, the pool is great, the break also really good, the staff is very friendly, and helpful

Cons: If you stay there ask for the bangalow, I stayed in the main building and there were very very noisy guests, i could hear a lot, wasn’t that good, -the roads to get to the hotel are horrible, they can almost break you car

Pros: great scrambled eggs

Cons: room

Pros: Beautiful pousada, peaceful location and great food

Cons: Nothing :-)

Pros: Exceptionally well-kept, super friendly staff, delicious food, quiet location with free rides to the downtown area.... What's not to like? Chris was a very accommodating and charming host. I recommend wholeheartedly.

Cons: Maybe just provide shampoo instead of a combo soap and shampoo...

Pros: Lovely gardens and charming host

Pros: It is a little Paradise !

Pros: Gr8 and wonderful pousada in the middle of nature with great views and the most wonderful personnel.... we came as guest and we are now leaving with new wonderful friends! We will definitely return and we recommend this pousada! We have had the best time of our vacations! For the lack of better wording.... wonderful!

Pros: Beautiful setting in a little hill forest, the name says it really. Lovely main house and terraces. Very friendly and helpful owners providing information on the Chapada region. Away from the Lençois city center but still accesible on foot (for those that have no mobility problem on steep hills). Great breakfast.

Cons: Nothing really, everything fine. We arrived just after huge rainfall and the first night the car or walking access to town was a bit special with water all over the hill but we felt the force of nature and it contributed with an overall positive experience.

Pros: It's a great place surrounded by nature and very quiet, great to relax and have a peaceful vacation. The staff at the house was very friendly and welcoming. They have a great ambience and help a lot with information for trips. Great food too and cute cabins with wood.

Pros: Because I like place that have a lot of tree. It's a comfortable place, but not good location. Very good breakfast and staff polite.

Pros: Cozy pousada with a nice swimming pool, very helpful staff (even though they don't speak English; use Google Translate ;)), great breakfast and free coffee! The pousada is about 1KM from Lencois, so best is to come with a car. However, we loved the location, because it's very quiet in the evening and a great place to rest after a day in the beautiful Chapada Diamantina. The room was basic, but clean and good value for money. Recommend it!

Cons: A pair of chairs or a bench in our family room would have been nice as well as some more storage space. Apart from that, all good!

Pros: The owner is such a lovely and helpful guy who was very supportive with everything. Even though we arrived early in the morning we could already have breakfast and leave our stuff at the place. Also we could leave our stuff there after check out. He was available at any time. The house was very clean and well equipped. The bathroom was very clean as well. The breakfast had a big choice of food and was freshly made. Thank you very much for staying at your place!

Pros: The staff was amazing, breakfast was good, rooms were clean and the owner was very nice! When we where there the WiFi connection and speed at the reception and swimming pool were good!

Cons: Location a little bit away from the centre (as advertised), but within 5 minutes by car so not a big problem for us! Because the WiFi routers are at the reception and swimming pool we only had a WiFi connection in our room sometimes, but again not a big problem for us because the reception is two steps away from the rooms.

Pros: A little bit far away from the center of Lençois, but worth to give it a chance. The environment is very calm and peaceful and the ammenities are great, including a swimming pool and a very nice garden.

Pros: Nice outdoors spaces. Friendly staff and very good breakfast with freshly made tapioca.

Cons: It was a bit far from the town centre if you are not by car. The water in the shower was not very warm.

Pros: Thank you for a perfect stay !

Pros: Nice view from the terrace and nice breakfast.

Cons: The twin/triple rooms are located right next to the communal kitchen and patio, you will hear other guests‘ conversations quite clearly in your room.

Pros: Good breakfast and very nice people

Cons: Room was very dirty and loud as. Dorms might be better but I definitely do not recommend the private budget one. To be fair, there were renovations going on which resulted in the room being dirty (the bed was covered in dirt from the wall and ceiling upon arrival) but I would have expected this to be looked after

Pros: the reception staff is nice people, they are all volunteer boys, who are not paid by the owner, but despite this they were always kind and helpful.

Cons: I arrived very early and I warned the staff, and when I arrived I was told to return at 12.30, very tired on my return, I was told to wait again and in the end to get the room I had to raise my voice, what which I find very difficult. It is written that you can use the kitchen, but the truth is that you can use it at set times, for example for the breakfast it is difficult to use the kitchen, for example it happened to me that I prepared breakfast for myself, but they wanted everyone to costs pay me. In Last, I was offered in an insistent and vexed and repeated way the possibility of going on excursions with a guide who is not even Brazilian and local.

Pros: I loved my stay in Lencois! Thomas and all the volunteers are insanely friendly and helpful and help you get the most out of your time. The breakfast was amazing as well with Tapioca, scrambled eggs, homemade yogurt and fruits! Right when I got there, Thomas advised me on all the tours they are offering (he owns another hostel and has been a tour guide for more than 10 years before starting his own travel agency). Thereby, he was very honest, his prices are more than fair compared to other travel agencies and I booked tours for my 3-day stay with him. September is rather low season so after I told him the tours I was interested in, he tried (and succeeded) to find a group of people who wanted to join. The tour guides (Pedro and Ivan (?)) were fantastic as well! I would definitely recommend this hostel, great vibe!

Pros: The place is perfect to meet people and to go hiking. I had some problems with a pirate guide in Mucuge and the workers were very helpful. It is very important that you take a good guide, they are for sure!! Very reliable!

Cons: When they rent you towels they are too little.

Pros: A small and calm place, near the centre and perfect for starting adventures and hikes to the park. Was a perfect stay! A lot of great people, everythings very clean and welcoming. Would book it again!

Pros: Nice terrace, pool, pool bar ... everything outside was nice. Exept mosquitos.

Cons: Hotel needs renovation. It’s oldish, not very clean.

Pros: Location, ambience, food, pool, kids playground, helpful staff, views, shuttle to town at nights.

Cons: The room walls are not thick and we could hear the room next to us very well.

Pros: Very nice setting, large swimming pool, comfortable rooms, mostly nice service

Cons: No pool service, very very slow food service in restaurant, wifi not working from time to time, a bit further from town ( but good shuttle, few people speak English

Pros: Hotel at top of hill. They offer shuttle to town in the evening. Nice swimming pool and good breakfast spread. Good laundry service.

Cons: Sheets and towels were stained. Lots of bugs/insects in ground floor room. Restaurant was pricey.

Pros: Location and transfer to the city

Cons: Breakfast was the same every day. Not so many varieties nd quality. For the price it is needed to inprove the breakfast. Swiming pool should bli warmer

Pros: Good service, nice restaurant, clean and spacious room

Cons: The hotel is located on top of the hill, so difficult access during the day. At night there were free shuttles every 30 min to the heart of the town, so no problem if you want to have dinner in restaurants on the streets. There were lots of flying insects(cupims) coming into the room after it rained...

Pros: Super friendly stuff, very helpful attitude and excellent breakfast. Clean and organised environment. No insects

Pros: Good location, host were very friendly and did everything to look after me. Just fantastic !

Pros: The staff where very friendly and nice.

Cons: When we checked in in the room was not clean. There where clothes and belongings from another guest in the room. Toilet was not clean. The floor was not clean. The guest before us had dropped candy under the bed so it was ants in the room. We where promised to have air condition in the room but the room we got did not have air condition and the room with AC was already rented out to another guest

Pros: We could park our car just in front of the door every day without hassle. All the staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good and more than we could imagine eating.

Cons: Street of the guesthouse (and a few others around) is not market in Google Maps as street, so a bit hard to find it first time visiting. Also there were no signs on the neigbouring streets indicating the way.

Pros: The hotel location is great (10mn walk from historical center), the staff is really nice and the breakfast was good
