Bella Vista Eco Experience — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Cabo Frio

The first thing I noticed about this hostel was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, and of course the view, however the services were seriously lacking so I can't in all sincerity give it a good rating. The bed was very uncomfortable and hard as a rock, there was just a box spring, no mattress, resulting in a poor sleep both nights. The glass balcony door did not shut or lock, there was no wastebasket in the room, and I had to ask for soap. The room was clean when I arrived, but after the "cleaning" the first day there was hair everywhere, so it looked like they had dragged in someone else's dirt by using the same cloth. The internet didn't function at all in my room so I was forced to cancel online classes I was scheduled to teach. The small flat screen TV had blurry reception with only 3 channels, two in Portuguese and one in German. Breakfast could use a little freshening, the only fresh fruit, a small plate of fresh papaya, looked like it had been around a few days, as did the cake. The hostel is located up a very steep hill and of course there are lots of stairs, so for people with mobility problems this hostel isn't a good choice. The hostel told me a taxi to the city centre would be 8 reais, in fact it was 15 one way so unless you have a car it's going to be costly. There are better places to stay closer to the beach where you can go back and forth throughout the day without paying a...

This place is definitely more like a hostel than a hotel and almost nothing works. Things that didn't work in our room: ||||-no hot water||-toilet did not flush||-TV in room did not work at all||-WiFi only worked in the breakfast area||-air conditioning also did not work, and was very loud||-they do not change the sheets every day||||There is also close to no privacy in the double rooms. Every morning the people staying next to us would walk out and could see completely into our room. You could also hear everything between the 2 rooms.||||The beds are also awful. Very thin and uncomfortable. The place has a nice view, which you see only when you are at breakfast. Usually all the workers are there at breakfast too, so if you are looking for something private, I do not recommend this place. The place is also located on a hill, so if you like to go out to dinner or out on the town, beware of the big hill you have to climb going back. Many taxis will overcharge you to bring you there, especially if you are a foreigner. We let them know about the hot water, wifi and toilet problems, and no one fixed anything. I would have much rather stayed a cheaper hostel than this place or would have paid 20 bucks extra a night for a...
