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!

Cons: Google Maps isn’t much help when trying to find the place. Better get the taxi or ask locals for directions.

Pros: Great Breakfast.

Pros: The breakfast is wondeful, I liked the walking distance to the center and restaurants and very quiet place, Few days there is yoga in the garden, that's perfect. It's an excellent choice in Lencóis, and hte air conditioner always refreshing from the warm days,

Cons: A pool would be very good after a whole day walking, the weather is very hot.

Pros: Beautiful location, calm, friendly, safe and helpful. Great place to stay.

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: Dimitri is a really lovely guy and made us feel very welcome. He was extremely helpful with information about the local area. Although the accommodation was simple, it had a lot of charm and everything you need. There were cooking facilities and a fridge. We also enjoyed the various pets at the property.

Pros: Very friendy and helpful owner with lots of tips of what to do and how to get to places yourself. Room was very clean and has everything needed.

Pros: Dmitrij, the host, is super kind and helpful. He assisted us with every need and question we had. He even gave us a ride to the bus station when we were about to miss our bus. He was also flexible about the check out time. For the first two nights, we stayed in smaller room. It included a bed and private bathroom, and had access to an outside kitchen. It was clean and comfortable. The following two nights, we stayed in a larger room. It includes a bedroom, two bathrooms and a private kitchen. It was also very clean and comfortable. The kitchens were well equipped. Both rooms were great, but we especially recommend the larger room.

Pros: It is a very clean and calm place to stay. They clean your room every day.

Pros: The apartment was great! super clean, 5 min walk to the main plaza, quiet, and it has everything you need and more! Dimitry is awesome too! he gave us tips about the different hikes you can do. He makes amazing cheese and yogurt.

Pros: The room and private bathroom are shared kitchen everything is so clean, the bed is so comfortable, the ceiling fan is quiet and efficient, the shower has pression, it’s 3 min from the center. Everything is so perfect that we thought maybe there’s been a mistake in pricing. If you see availability just reserve asap.

Cons: Everything was perfect, we wanted to stay more but -of course -it was full for other days.

Pros: Really nice room, very comfortable bed. Exactly looks like in the picture. We slept well, but be aware there are chicken/roosters in the backyard making noise in the morning.

Cons: Nothing actually.

Pros: The staff are fantastic. Great coffee and breakfast. Comfortable beds and great location. I will return!

Cons: I did not like I could not stay longer!

Pros: Delightful and colorful posada in a charming courtyard setting. The manager, Hai, was as nice as could be and offered helpful tips for touring the area. The heart of this wonderful town is a two minute walk away. Breakfast was terrific with fresh fruit and baked goods. Our room accommodated the four of us quite comfortably, with a queen bed and two twin beds. There was a full size refrigerator in our room, which was useful for storing the leftover food from the big dinners in town. Our room had a ceiling fan that kept us cool at night.

Cons: It would be nice if the posada provided shampoo.

Pros: Very warm and welcoming hosts. Passionate and helpful. Great breakfast in a nice, romantic patio. Perfect location, everything on walking distance.

Cons: Nothing! Perhaps they can add a small night lamp next to the bed?

Pros: Perfect accommodation in Lençóis! The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful, organizing day trips and everything else you need. The breakfast is the best we had in Brazil, fresh and a rich choice. The location is great for exploring the city. The rooms are comfortable and get cleaned every day. Just stay here!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff was absolutely amazing

Pros: Located really close to centre of Lencois where restaurants are and 10 minutes walk to bus station. Rooms are basic but nice and good value for money. Breakfast is decent with choice of eggs, fruit, bread, cakes and coffee. Lovely outdoor courtyard to eat breakfast in. Rai who worked on the front desk was so helpful and he was actually our tour guide as well for the 2 days hiking and gave us a really competitive price compared to other agencies we talked to. He was really friendly and accommodating. Great value option overall and would recommend !

Cons: Only downside is the bathroom is shared but for the first few days the Pousada was quiet so had it to ourselves anyway.

Pros: very nice staff and great breakfast

Cons: room a little bit small

Pros: The staff was the best. Always happy and attentive. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was yummy and we had variety every day with different extra things. I will be coming back.

Cons: I like everything but the internet could be stronger in the room.

Pros: Breakfast was great, staff is very nice and speak good English. There is a nice local buffet restaurant across from the pousada, only open for lunch (if you are around). Enough free parking around the pousada. Walking distance to Lencois centre

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: There is Spanish and English speaking staff who all helped arrange wonderful tours.

Cons: I gave the place a low score for cleanliness but not because it was actually dirty (they seemed to keep the place very tidy), but because there was no soap in the bathrooms to wash your hands. I guess they expect the guests to remember their soap every time they go. Normally, I wouldn't care that much but because they had a breakfast buffet where we all handled the same serving utensils, I was bothered by this

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: Easy to find. Friendly staff. It's in town center, so quick walking distance to everywhere.

Cons: Next to a bar that plays loud music until 2am (not every night, but often enough).

Pros: The place is beautiful, very well maintained and has very helpfull staff. I would definitely come back with my group of 13 people, they were all verry happy with this stay!

Cons: /

Pros: The staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful! They also have loads of cute pets. The location is great too, in the middle of where all the restaurants and shops are.

Pros: It’s one of the best hostel I’ve ever stayed! The hostel is super nice, everything is clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The staff is just amazing!!! Super friendly and helpful, they really take care about the guests, they integrate the guests and show them around the city!! :) I can just recommend this place!

Cons: Everything was great :)

Pros: The location is right in the heart of Lencois, near all the restaurants and tour companies, but yet hidden enough so it's not loud. They have a nice kitchen and sitting area, also an adjacent bar with a pool table.

Cons: Several pressing issues, its kinda dirty and run down all over. The 6 bed dorm where we were set up at first is a tiny cramped room without an AC, and it can get super hot, especially on the top bunks. Not much atmosphere either, we came for christmas hoping to meet some people and celebrate with them but ended up being alone.

Pros: Location couldn't be better, it was in the town center next to the all the restaurants and travel agencies. As a solo traveller the hostel was really a great choice, I had the opportunity to meet other like minded travellers and made good friends. Everyone in that hostel had a great vibe. I'm definitely staying at Viela hostel again when I come back to Lençois.

Cons: Breakfast is simple when compared to hotels, which is expected.

Pros: The location ,close to supermarkets, arm bank machines, food , pharmacy s, the popular beaches all a very short walking distance ,also public transport.

Cons: Nothing I didn't like.

Pros: Thank you Cris for beeing such a great hostess! You picked me up at the bus station, showed me around and fulfilled every wish I had! I can only recommend this place for all people who enjoy tranquility and great breakfast!

Pros: Amazing staff, really helpful and friendly. I was even picked up from the station. Breakfast was delicious and it's a really lovely place with lots of nice details. I loved the hammocks! Thank you!

Pros: Incredible staff, amazing breakfast, beautiful room and outside area! And the plus of Everaldo as fantastic host! Would be back for sure and recommend it to everyone! Thank you guys!

Pros: The grounds are very beautiful with interesting stone walls and plants. We saw many birds and some monkeys. The breakfasts were very fresh, complete and healthy. The owners and staff were charming. One nice extra is easy access to the bathing pools in the little river above town. They are a unique treat.

Pros: Canto Verde Pousada is located so perfectly. A very short walk to the main center square. Located in the Green and absolute quiet at Night. Amazing Breakfast. Our Host Really did absolute Everything to make our stay absolute unique and amazing. He showed us nice Natural pools closeby, gave us so many tipps what to do and always had an open ear should we needed something. Free wifi, Clean rooms. All Perfect!

Cons: All perfecto

Pros: Lots of character, pleasant atmosphere

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The pousada is located on the outskirts of town and is surrounded by green. The breakfast is good. The hammock was much appreciated.

Cons: The room was hot and uncomfortable. It might be time to install AC.

Pros: The pousada is small but run with lots of love and personal touch of the owner. A little treasure in the beautiful area of lencois. You get a lot of support and insights in the brazilian lifestyle and cuisine from the very nice owner. Dont hesitate and spend a few relaxing nights at pousada da fonte, we can only recommend it.

Cons: A little tricky to find the first time, but its very closely located to the bus station.

Pros: Best Pousada I have ever been! Maiza is such a nice person! She takes very good care of her guests. Thinks always one step ahead. The breakfast is amazing! So many different brazilian delicacies, I don’t want to stop eating. Maiza is also very flexible, we arrived really early but could already check in. The room was really nice with a terrace and a hammock. It’s an oasis in the green. Not far from the center. Would stay here again and really recommend this Pousada! Thank you Maiza for the great stay!

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: Rita was very nice with us. Good breakfast also. I recomend

Pros: Amazing service, great location, very clean with perfect breakfast and Rita is super helpful.

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: The owner Rita is lovely, she made us feel home. The breakfast was very fresh and yummy

Cons: The room is very simple but it's huge

Pros: The location is a bit off the main restaurant mile, but still in good walking distance - just perfect for us. Rita is a great host.

Pros: Where to start? The breakfast is delicious, including homemade cakes and juices. Rita is very welcoming and an amazing host, making sure you're feeling just like home. When I'm back in Lençóis I won't look elsewhere for a room - Pousada da Rita is the place to stay.

Cons: Nothing at all to complain about.

Pros: Good location, excellent breakfast, nice people

Cons: people

Pros: The breakfast is great. And whatever you don't find available, you can always order it straight from the kitchen. One of the managers, CARLOS was espetacular! Great guy. The hotel itself is very nice.

Cons: The pool side is closed after 22:00h. It´s such a great place to sit and talk to friends. It should stay available 24/7. Other than that, I have nothing to complain about.

Pros: The facilities look nice and definitely have potential but unfortunately the atmosphere wasn’t very welcoming.

Cons: After having read many positive reviews, it turned out to be a disappointing experience. The staff wasn’t very friendly or helpful and only few of them spoke any English at all. The combination of not so friendly staff and weird rules (like not allowing smoking anywhere near the pool area, but only at what was actually the kids’ playground

Pros: Great friendly staff, extremely clean and simply comfortable. Will go back with my family again.

Cons: Hotel didn't provide towel for guest going on their waterfall adventures.

Pros: The facilities and the location are very good.

Cons: It seems that the staf is new. Some time they fall in some details.

Pros: New nice hotel, all base facilities are there. Kind and helpful staff. Nice luxury base if you are hiking. We hot a nice price.

Cons: Although you can certainly walk to, literally, downtown, a car or transport is nice to cone back after dinner.

Pros: The hotel is brand new, the breakfast is AMAZING! The pool area is beautiful, the water temperature is just perfect. I wish I had more time to enjoy the hotel, it is just a nice place to relax and enjoy nature with comfort.

Cons: This is a new hotel and nothing to complain about. I would only suggest one thing, hold the room electricity for 1 min without the key, it will make things easier, specially at night.

Pros: Jorge is very helpful

Cons: The location: it takes a 10-15 min walk to/from the center.

Pros: Hospitality of Gorge and staff is excellent.

Pros: This is a great place, with very friendly and helpful owners. It is the perfect location if you are looking to visit the Ribeiro Meio natural waterslide/pool, as it is right next to the trailhead. The breakfast was great, and the location very peaceful. Highly recommend!

Pros: Jorge is incredibly nice! He tries to help everywhere he can! Close to entrance of a swimming spot. Tour recommended by jorge was perfect

Cons: A little bit outside of town - but a nice evening walk away.
