2/10 Terrible

"There were several ants in the shower"

B&B Hotels Rio de Janeiro Norte

4/10 Poor

" This hotel had many wonderful reviews, which is why my boyfriend and I decided to stay here. Unfortunately, our experience was not what we expected. When we first entered the room, we immediately noticed several issues. The air conditioner was leaking water onto the floor, the restroom had no fan, and there were no small towels for bathing. The room itself was also very small. Another inconvenience was that there was no iron in the room—the iron and ironing board are located on the 10th floor, and you must request a special key from the front desk because your room key does not allow access. The shower also did not appear very clean. Housekeeping was another problem. We requested that our room be cleaned, but it was not cleaned for several days after the request. We also asked for additional towels and were told they would be placed in our room, but we never received them. During our trip I unfortunately missed my flight, so my boyfriend extended our stay. However, the extension was never updated in the hotel’s system. Our room key suddenly stopped working, and when I went to the front desk they said they had no record of us staying there. Even after showing receipts and booking confirmations, they couldn’t locate it. After about 45 minutes they finally fixed the issue and gave me a new key. Later that night, while I was alone in the room, I heard repeated knocking around 11 PM. When I asked who it was, there was no response. The knocking continued until after midnight."

"The property is run down. But worse than that, the room we were given was dirty, mold on the floor boards and mildew in the shower. We intended to ask for housekeeping to come and clean it. But after attempting to use the toilet we learnt that there was an issue with flushing. There was no one on site to fix the issue so we were moved to another room. Then - wait for it - when we turned on the sink in the new room, the water leaked out of the pipes all onto the floor. The next morning we booked another hotel and left. We were offered no refund or any other kind of compensation. They said since we booked through Expedia we could not recieve any refund for the nights we did not stay. Save your self the trouble and don’t even consider this place. "

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Rancho Fundo?

While Rancho Fundo offers a unique blend of nature and relaxation, other exceptional areas in Rio de Janeiro State provide a similar premium experience. The best alternatives include the charming coastal town of Búzios and the refined mountain retreat of Petrópolis.

Búzios, located on a peninsula north of Rio, is renowned for its stunning beaches and sophisticated yet laid-back atmosphere. The main street, Rua das Pedras, is the hub of activity, lined with excellent restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries. It's a great destination for couples seeking beautiful scenery, water activities, and fine dining, reminiscent of Rancho Fundo's focus on quality leisure.

For those who appreciate a cooler climate and historic grandeur, Petrópolis, located in the Serra dos Órgãos mountains, offers a completely different but equally upscale experience. Known as the "Imperial City," it's home to the Imperial Museum, the Crystal Palace, and charming historic architecture.

When is the best time to go to Rancho Fundo?

The best time to visit Rancho Fundo is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. This period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the area.

During these months, you'll experience cooler temperatures and lower humidity, making outdoor activities like hiking and sightseeing much more comfortable. It's also less likely to rain, ensuring your plans aren't disrupted.

For those looking to enjoy the region's natural beauty, particularly its waterfalls and trails, the dry season is ideal. The trails are less muddy and the waterfalls are still impressive, though not as powerful as after heavy rains. This makes it superb for active couples or solo travellers who want to make the most of the outdoor adventures.

While October to April is the wet season, characterised by higher temperatures and more rainfall, it can still be a good time to visit if you don't mind occasional showers. The landscape is lush and green, and some waterfalls are at their most spectacular.

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 Rancho Fundo hotel for you.
