“Bad, I saw it and cancelled the booking.”
+Nothing, I left once I saw the state of the place.
−There was a pile of dishes in the sink and the place had not been cleaned in weeks. The place did not look like the pictures at all. They were taken 5 years ago.

“Dirty, unsafe, nothing like the photos, not worth the price. Avoid this place.”
−The worst stay we’ve had. The hygiene was absolutely unacceptable, the lodge was extremely dirty and clearly neglected. Nothing was properly cleaned, and the overall condition was shocking. The property looked nothing like the photos advertised on Booking, which is extremely misleading. The host was unprofessional and made us feel uncomfortable.We had to leave earlier than planned because the conditions were unbearable. This experience was so bad that it caused us significant distress and has left a lasting negative impact. This place is absolutely not worth the price charged. We strongly do not recommend staying here.

“Special stay off the beaten track. Definitely recommend for the more 'adventurous' type.”
+Incredible bungalow. The location is beautiful and completely immersed in nature. Simple but with everything you need. There is a possibility to have dinner at the lodge. Breakfast is fresh and plenty. Hosts were amazing.
−Just be aware of the accessibility, especially with luggage. It's a 15-20 min walk/climb from the port and main town of Ilha Grande. There is no restaurant/bar/etc in the direct surroundings so going out always involves the short hike from and to the lodge.

“We had a great stay!”
+The breakfast, location, staff, and amenities were all great. Just make sure to bring bags you can carry as you'll have a 10 minute walk through the jungle to get to the hotel. Trail is well marked.

“Not as advertised, difficult host”
+Location in nature and Stefanie and Abraao (who look after the place)
−Unfortunately this stay wasn’t what we expected and we can’t in good faith recommend that others stay here. We stayed in the double room, it’s not clear whether the ‘superior bungalow’ is still an option. Although the place was enjoyable because of its remote location in the jungle, it is in a worse condition than advertised. Furthermore, what isn’t advertised is that you share the space with a woman and her child who help cook and clean. While they are delightful - and in fact made our stay! - we think this should be made clear, especially as you have to walk through the shared kitchen to use the bathroom. The main reason for the bad review however has to be the host, William. From the get-go he was difficult and passive aggressive with us and made us feel uncomfortable throughout the whole stay. Not least because he argued with his staff in front of us which created a terrible atmosphere. Smaller details like soap by the sink bathroom were overlooked and the mosquito net continually fell down. Shame, as it sounds like this used to be a great place to stay. The hike up to the place is OK if you know what you’re signing up for- just make sure you bring good shoes and torches!!

“Inaccessible, filthy, and misleading. AVOID at all costs”
+Nothing
−If I could give zero stars, I would. This place is an absolute disgrace and should not even be listed on Booking. The access is simply impossible. I live in India and am used to rough conditions; I’m not a “princess” by any means, and I actually love hiking and outdoor adventures. However, the reality of this place is far worse than what’s described. The so-called “small path” or “short hike” is extremely minimized compared to the actual experience. The trail is muddy, swampy, and you have to climb rocks to get there. Even with just a backpack, it’s exhausting and nearly impossible. After such a long, tumultuous, and tiring climb, you’d at least expect to be rewarded with a beautiful place and a nice room to make it feel worth the effort. But that couldn’t be further from reality. What you find is a run-down, filthy, and completely disappointing location that looks nothing like the photos on Booking. On top of that, there is no food or dining option available. This means you’re forced to make a 20-30 minute hike down the treacherous trail just to find dinner. And once you’ve eaten, you then have to hike back up for another 20-30 minutes, often in complete darkness, as there is no l
