The place is cute like the photos, however it is very run-down. The pool was dirty and we both got bitten by bedbugs. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. No one speaks english, the breakfast was great

Nice cabin in the woods, but could use some renovations. Pool area swarmed with ants and covered in tree debris. Staff gave a difficult time during check in.

It’s very beautiful and closer to the Brazilian border. You have to be comfortable with the sounds of the birds and animals you would be as it’s in a jungle surrounding. The food from the restaurant is pretty tasty too.

The location is really enjoyable, embedded in the jungle. The staff is nice. The hotel is a bit outdated but it’s okay. The one thing that I did not enjoy was the food.

Quiet location

Good location, peaceful if you don't have neighbors. Hotel service was good but good in the restaurant is not great and they won't do any substitutions. Breakfast buffet was very limited but for the price, you get what you pay for. Bedding was spotted in some areas and there were bugs, but you're in the Amazon. Telling this so no surprises.

The jungle location was fun! Quiet and close to the falls and the city. A little more attention could be paid to cleanliness.. The staff was very helpful but don’t expect them to speak English.

In the middle of the jungle...

If you want jungle...look no further. Partner super happy...cottage with little patio. I enjoyed the pool and apperol more. Home made breakfast and super friendly staff. Cleanliness could be improved, though. All in all, great stay.

If you want something out of the main drag...this is your place. For an affordable rate you can have peace and quiet and enjoy a delicious breakfast,

Ehh… not again…

Well, I tried to stay in a budget and I thought that this would be a good place. Staff was very friendly and really liked the whole ambience of being in the jungle. The rooms were just not great honestly. There were mold and spider webs all over the place and the bed had springs sticking out. And the whole room just had a damp feeling to it that I got sick from when I left. Not where I’d stay again…

It’s so in jungle and feel peaceful and a little outside far from city or town. After realize it’s different feel than your thinking than it’s fun too. We had great time to stay there. Staff nice but not speak English, we used Google translate it’s work fine. Breakfast had some different kind you can ask for eggs , they made simple eggs, it’s all good that’s all you need . We asked for storage for luggages when we checked out , we went to Iguazu falls get back take shower in the pool and change clothes in restroom before to go to airport. We are appreciate that option to made easy for us.

The location, much like the other surround hotels is positioned within the beautiful dense surrounding forest, however wildlife is not as prevalent in this area as in the national forest nearby. As for the restaurant, almost all bread served for lunch and dinner was over cooked or burned on the bottom. The food was severely lacking in both creativity and execution. Substitutions or custom preparation of food is simply against their policy. I recommend finding a nearby hotel with a restaurant instead of wasting time and money here. Leaving the property to the left just a short walk is Selvaje Lodge with an excellent restaurant with great service.

Clean and comfortable - good for family

Great home-base for seeing the waterfalls. We appreciated the friendly staff, clean rooms, lovely breakfast, and welcoming pool. The pool bar attendant was very creative and made us some tasty drinks after a long morning of touring the waterfalls. The jungle pushes right up to the pool patio, so it is well-shaded with areas of full sun if you chose.

Great hotel!

Great spot, very quiet. Friendly and helpful staff.

The air conditioner was a bit tricky, but an an amazing value. Pretty place, nice rooms and good breakfast.

Fantastic location, super comfortable room and great staff

Beautiful location in the forest Very nice buildings Very helpful staff Good location just out of town Very good breakfast Could do with better signage to find the place

This is a cute property with lots of charm. There are lots of hummingbirds around and the pool is nice. But the devil is in the details... the top of the wall-installed hairdryer obviously had not been cleaned in a very long time and was completely covered in dirt and dust. The bathroom needs a renovation.

Convenient to Falls

Nice grounds and “look” to the place. Helpful staff. Uncomfortable bed. Food mixed.

Nice hotel with helpful staff

The hotel was nice, I liked how it was kind if built around nature, not on top of it. The staff was really helpful too, and prices for dinner was reasonable. Unfortunately there's no Wi-Fi in the rooms, just in reception, and this didn't even work half the time we were there. This forced me to use money on roaming, which is quite costly. It's also quite a bit away from both the town and the falls, which makes it a bit difficult when you're on a budget and can't take a taxi everywhere. There was public transportation, but this was quite a walk away. Breakfast had mostly sweet food, not much savoury, and no vegetables at all. Dinner was nice though. All in all I would rate this hotel as average, it's a pleasant stay, but I would most likely not go back.
