The place was absolutely amazing, truly enchanting. The views from the property were amazing and the air was always filled with the aroma of flowers. The food was average compared to the food in town. One suggestion for the staff would be to man the front desk 24/7 for guests.

We felt like we stayed in the Shire with the hobbit style rooms, and the castle provided an ambiance of elegance. The staff accommodated for my mobility challenged wife like she was family.

Excellent in every way

Bambuda is fantastic. The location is excellent with breathtaking views of the mountains & countryside. The food in the restaurant is excellent & there are numerous options at all times of the day. The service at the front desk & at the restaurant are prefect: helpful, friendly, & enthusiastic. Taxi rides from the hotel to a variety of destinations are easy to get & inexpensive. I had a cabin with a balcony. It felt like a cabin in the mountains but with strong hot water in the shower.

I will be here for 9 days total because my plans keep changing! I have had to add days on repeatedly and they do their best to keep me in the same or similar location. Then I got sick and they isolated me and took care of me like family. This has felt like a home away from home… not a vacation but I’m safe and well cared for!

The hostel is AMAZING!!! A wonderful building in an incredible location. The room is a benchmark for hostels worldwide, really great! Other guests said the same, and we all recorded videos to share. I've been to several countries, and without a doubt, this was the best room I've ever stayed in at a hostel. The bed is comfortable, the power outlets are plentiful, and especially the locker is spacious, large, with space to put things inside the locker, a shelf, and a bench to help with organization. Congratulations on the project! The tour options are good, but I wasn't lucky enough to book several, as there weren't enough people (2). The restaurant is very good, with great prices and incredible flavor! The service from Victor (tocayo jajaja) and Chiara at the restaurant was impeccable, examples of professionals!! Melani and Ashley (from reception) are super helpful and VERY helpful in learning about the city and what to do there. The internet is also very good, and the social area is very helpful for socializing! It would be amazing if other hostels around the world adopted your ambiance and quality. You deserve congratulations, and I hope you open more locations around the world, including in Brazil. It's possible to store luggage before check-in or after check-out in a small, locked storage room. There are power outlets in the common area (restaurant), which is great! The location is a bit far from the city center, and you'll need a shuttle or Uber to get there and back

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and made to feel at ease. The grounds were perfectly groomed and maintained with spectacular views of the volcano. Our favorite was ordering food and then eating in the garden.we stayed in one of the towers. The room was small but had everything we needed. Food was fresh and delicious! Great cocktails and they even had an IPA available. 10/10 would return and recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Really beautiful place surrounded by mountains and nature. The atmosphere is peaceful, quiet, and very zen. As soon as you enter the reception area, you’re welcomed by the lovely scent of pine oil, which immediately gives the place a relaxing feel. The staff were very welcoming, polite, and friendly throughout my stay. My room was beautiful, spotless, and had an amazing mountain view. I really loved the overall design and atmosphere of the property. Everything was almost perfect, except for one small detail: there was a vase of badly wilted peace lilies sitting in the dining room for all three days of my stay. In such a beautiful and carefully designed place, it really stood out and killed the mood a little every time I saw it. 😅 Fresh flowers—or simply removing the wilted ones—would have made a big difference. Other than that, my stay was wonderful. A beautiful, peaceful place to relax, disconnect, and enjoy the mountains and nature. I would definitely recommend Bambuda!

Highly recommend.
