When is the best time to go to Benfica?

The best time to visit Benfica is during the dry season, which runs from May to September, offering pleasant weather for exploring. During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and comfortably warm temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C. This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities and sightseeing without the intense humidity or heavy downpours common in other parts of the year. For those planning to combine their visit with events in the wider Rio de Janeiro area, the shoulder months of April and October are also good options.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Benfica hotel for you.

Top Benfica Hotel Reviews

Regency Barra Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms are clean. The location is about 30 minutes from Copacabana beach. The staff is friendly and their breakfast is great"

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel! We had the most beautiful floor to ceiling window view of the beach, the favelas and Christ the Redeemer! The hotel was located in a pretty good location a little further from Copacabana and Ipanema but was still a nice neighborhood with Sao Conrado beach right across the street. The amenities at the hotel were great! The breakfast had a lot of options but just was okay. Overall I would book again!"

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

6/10 Okay

"They advertise a balcony with the room! It's a 2 ft ledge you can barely stand on! You also get a kettle for hot water but no cups etc. The pictures and description of the rooms were very deceiving considering the price. The room was not very clean and had mold in the shower. Our first room didn't have a working tv and was smaller then what was advertised so they moved us! Second room wasn't much better! They did fix the fact we had no not water! The breakfast was big but not very inviting! Most of the front desk employees were very helpful. But when we arrived with our luggage (2 women over 65!) The guy at the door just stood there as we struggled to get our suitcases up the side ramp! We should of left then!"
