"My bathroom was disgusting. Black mold all around the bat tub and glass sliding door. I immediately asked for another room. My new room was better but my bed sheets were a shade of grey not white. Then my AC stopped working and my room safe did not work. I was moved to a 3rd room which was about the same. But my room safe did not work. I reported it and someone looked at it and said he would come back. He never did. In the morning there was no hot water. I checked out."

Top Whale Square Hotel Reviews

Royal Urban Macaé Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything and everyone was super nice, but the only thing that wasn’t available, and would have been very helpful, was a hair dryer. ;)"

Ilha Branca Exclusive Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good experience. Nice staff, clean and spacious room, pretty centrally located. About twenty minute walks to a lot of places in Buzios or quick and inexpensive uber rides. This is located on a hill, so you have to be ok with stairs! It’s a lot of up and down here. Overall it was a great value stay. "

Vila d'este Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, from the time we arrived to the day we left the staff including Guilherme, Nicholas And Lucas to name a few were so amazing. All the staff at the bar and Alta were great too. Breakfast was a lovely choice of different baked goods, fruit, or you could order eggs omlettes waffles etc. fresh juice tea and coffee were serve yourself. The two pools although small were adequate for a quick dip, the spa pool had great views and was a warmer temperature. The room we had was a good size, massive king size bed and had a lovely little terrace. Very comfy and quiet. The location is great too, just down some cobbled steps to the main st and a short walk into town or to a beach or to get a water taxi to another beach. We can’t wait to return, hopefully in two years with some friends to celebrate some birthdays. "

Own Buzios Beach Hotel

4/10 Poor

"We had a very mixed experience at Own Búzios. While the staff was initially very kind and the location is excellent conveniently across from a grocery store and easy to get around the room and maintenance issues were disappointing. We were first checked into a room with a shared bathroom despite booking a Premium Double. Once rectified, the second room had a broken AC. We eventually landed in a third room that felt quite run-down with stained sheets. The garden was poorly maintained, with high weeds and even mushrooms growing on the porch. The main positives were the very comfortable bed, a nice pool area for a post-beach swim, and the friendly initial welcome. However, these were overshadowed by a lack of property maintenance and a repetitive breakfast that seemed recycled over our four-day stay. Another down side m was the checkout experience where we were presented with an open bar tab. It felt like they tried to charge us for our "complimentary" welcome drinks, and the staff seemed irritated when we disputed it. Next time, I’ll likely try one of the nearby pousadas instead."

Hotel Aretê

6/10 Okay

"Breakfast was very limited if you remove the abundance of sugary cakes on offer. (You have to pay for coffee too…. ) The bedding was dirty blood and urine stains… we got bitten alive by mosquitoes and in general the place had no vibe. On the positive side the pool area is lovely including the sauna and the food / drinks at lunchtime were always nice. Food and drink are circa twice the price of Rio prices. "
