We stayed here for one night. The room was nice, the outdoor seating space was comfortable. They did offer a nice breakfast. All positive, but compared to other options (we later stayed at Santa Ana), it was much more expensive. We did ask for a better discount, but they resisted despite the fact that most of the rooms were empty.... More

We stayed here after our pampas tour in april and it was quite nice if not a tad over priced for the area. We stayed in a room with a double bed and an ensuite bathroom which was very clean with nice hot showers and wifi in the room. The owner when we first arrived greeted us with a nice... More

I don't know the general standard of accomodation in Rurre, but I was surprised that this place was ranked so high, which means that there probably aren't many other options. We stayed there two nights - one before our tour and one after. The second night was not planned as our flight was rescheduled. First the good. Location is nice... More

We stayed several nights in this place, before and after our trips (first to the jungle, later to the pampas) and intbetween they stored the luggage we didn't need on our treks for free, the valuables were locked away and safe. Staff was friendly and always around. Rooms are basic, toilets above Bolivian standart. One room we had was a... More

Unfortunately the choice of decent hotels in Rurrenabaque is severely limited. The strange thing about this place is that it is one of the few hotels in Bolivia with consistently hot water. Given that its located on the edge of the jungle in 40 degrees heat - you really don't want a hot shower - you want a COLD one.... More

I stayed here because it was at the top of the review list for Rurrenabaque but I was really disappointed. The staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming. The room was no more than adequate although the courtyard was nice. The bed was creaky and rickety, the shower was poor. The breakfast was very basic, bread rolls and a drink. The location... More

At the time that I am writing this review, this is the #1 hotel in Rurre... I can't believe there is not a better option in this small city. The shower head holds by a wire, the whole bathroom gets inundated after a single shower. The room is dark and feels dirty. It's a chance there is a high speed... More

Don't expect any luxuries but this seems to be one of the best value bases in Rurre for before and after a jungle/pampas tour. We had decent hot showers and a comfortable bed. The Wifi isn't totally reliable. The rooms have fly-screen windows so you will hear any noise from the courtyard, but all guests seem to go to bed... More

This was our home away from home before, between and after our tours of the jungle and pampas. We were in room ten, the very last one away from the common area. It was clean and light with a great ceiling fan. Staff are friendly and the breakfast is fine compared to there places in Bolivia. We would recommend this... More

I wasn't that impressed by this place. The garden IS really nice and pretty, but that's about it. The room's are pretty dark and dank. The breakfast was very average and boring. For just a night this place is ok but it's nothing special. On returning from the jungle we stayed at Santa Ana which didn't have breakfast or internet... More
