Guest Reviews
- claudia (6/5): Pas le meilleur hôtel de la ville. - L'hôtel est bien localisé. Pas de petit déjeuner. Personnel pas aimable, on a l'impression de les ennuyer d'être la. Pas d'équipement autour de la piscine. Il faut aller chercher sois même une chaise en plastique si on veut pouvoir s'asseoir. Pour le prix on ne s'y est pas retrouvée.
- Toni (6/5): - Hotel mit schönem Garten und einem riesigen Pool. Große Zimmer mit Klimaanlage. In der Nähe von der Plaza und vielen Restaurants. Der Preis der Bookingbuchung war mit 475,- Bs angegeben aber im Hotel wollte man 680,- Bs , man arbeite mit dem "schwarzmarkt" Dollar Kurs... wenn es uns nicht passt könnten wir gehen meinte der Besitzer (abends um 9 bei Regen). Der ausgeschriebene private Parkplatz war belegt. Das Hotel hat kein Frühstück. Betten sind durchgelegen.
- Michael (9/5): - Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft in guter Lage, herrlichem Pool und allem, was man braucht. Eigentlich nichts. Da kein Frühstück angeboten wird, war die Suche morgens etwas mühsam, da einige in Frage kommenden Orte geschlossen hatten.
- George (7/5): -
- Schaaf (7/5): Ort wunderbar, aber Verpflegung und Ruhe war nicht gegeben - Der Innenhof mit Pool ist wunderschön und der innhaber sehr zuvorkommend Leider waren es die anderen Gäste, die Laut und sehr unangenehm aufgefallen sind. Und es gibt kein Frühstück, das ist ok. Allerdings die Möglichkeit einen Tee oder Café zu bekommen hätte uns sehr gefreut.

- Carlos (9/5): - Staff were friendly. The location is not far. from the centre. The huge clean pool. Room was ok with warm shower. Good internet and air conditioning. All good.
- Ben (10/5): Very good location and clean big spacious rooms - Massive pool, friendly staff, very good location Nothing
- Sánchez (4/5): Regular la instalación y la atención! - Si ubicación cerca de todo el centro y su piscina . La persona que nos recibió cambia los precios y es muy poco cordial. Solo había una señora muy amable que nos atendió al final al salir ,si tan sólo hubiera sido ella desde el principio,cambiaría todo 😑
- Marion (8/5): Gute Option in Rurrenabaque - Sehr sauber. Sehr schöne Anlage mit sauberem Pool. Zimmer groß. Lage ist okay. Macht einen sicheren Eindruck. Kein Frühstück im Angebot. Licht im Zimmer nicht so gemütlich.
- Karen (9/5): Cosy and friendly house where it feels great - I arrived early after a long night bus. The lady greeted me and offered that I could rest in a room until mine was ready. I was very grateful. Its a well maintained hotel, more family feeling, spacious veranda & swimming pool. Well located so its only 4 min walk to the river, little shops with basic products near by. Restaurant Roots serving good food a short stroll. Madidi jungle tour & others also near. Comfortable bed, A/C, it was extremely hot & humid during my stay. Wifi ok, and good shower. Highly recommended Its a pity there wasn't breakfast, in Rurrenabaque there are not so much choice as its a jungle town.

- Hannah (10/5): Great little oasis to relax - Great hostel we stayed for a night before starting a jungle tour. We could check in at 9am after arriving from the night bus which was amazing. We were given really nice recommendations for breakfast and were able to use the pool and relax. 10/10 would recommend. Wish we stayed here for longer! Nothing.
- Stang (10/5): Exceptional - Pool and garden area is really nice. Good proximity to a couple of safe eating places. Staff was helpful with local transportation needs
- Julian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paulboy123 (9/5): Good experience - Spacious property and lovely staff
- Tracey (9/5): Superb - The pool was excellent, and it was great for exercise. Grounds were nice. We had a lovely welcome and were able to check in early, after arriving on the night bus. They also stored our luggage while we went on our Jungle & Pampas tour. The room was spacious & comfortable with Air conditioning. Shower was hot. Everyone was very helpful and the owner stepped in to help us when our taxi didn't turn up to take us to the bus station. Most hotels offer complimentary coffee, tea and water in reception, so missed that. Otherwise was great
- Rachel (9/5): Great place to stay - The air conditioning was wonderful!! WiFi was excellent. Pool is big - 24m long apparently - so you can swim properly if you want. Location is excellent, only a few minutes walk from good restaurants and cafes. Room are spacious. Nice to have hammocks outside and pool chairs too. Was able to stay extra nights when my flight was cancelled. Preferred it to my accommodation in the Pampas and Selva. It would be useful for the hotel to advise when reception closes - I wanted to buy water at 9.30pm one evening but there was no one there. Couldn’t get shower to run properly warm, but it didn’t matter too much. Socket next to my bed didn’t work (habitación 7).
- William (9/5): Superb -
- Dan (8/5): Great hotel to stay in before and after jungle tours - Huge pool which was great to cool off in, air con in the room worked very well, bed was comfy and room and en suite were clean. They also happily stored our bags whilst we went on a Pampas tour. Relaxed atmosphere overall at the hotel. Outdoor showers didn't seem to work but wasn't really a problem with the rooms being so close. As most places in Bolivia they don't accept card for payment.
- Taylor (8/5): Very good -
- Taylor (7/5): Does what it says on the tin! - It has AC, WiFi, and the shower is serviceable. Keep expectations low in Rurrenabaque, you aren’t there for the hotel rooms. As a staging and return point from the jungle it was welcome. No complaints
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional - Good size room, comfy beds, AC worked well, and the location was great. Pool was an added plu! Everything was great
- Alexandra (8/5): Very good -
- Jeremiah (10/5): Hotel Ambaibo...Excellent. - I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Ambaibo.The room was very large and serviced daily.This was one of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in during my travels in Bolivia.Sleep quality was excellent and the location was perfect-a short walk to the plaza....Check-in was handled by Stephanie who wad friendly and welcoming....A lovely place to stay....Will return the next time I visit Rurrenabaque. I liked everything.
- Grace (6/5): Pleasant - Pool area was nice. Room was pretty clean. Aircon was functioning well and kept us nice and cool. Room was pretty dark (gloomy) and the decor very dated. Internet was only sometimes working.
- Mateo (10/5): Exceptional - Pool and amazing host Fidel
- Bluett (7/5): Good - Swimming pool and air con
- Anna-marie (8/5): Good value comfortable hotel. - Room was comfortable. Great location. Friendly staff Swimming pool turned my natural blonde hair green. Beware if you’re blonde.
- Carl (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karine (6/5): A well located place with a beautiful swimming pool with basic facilities. - The size of the room and the comfort of the beds. The AC. The garden and swimming pool. Parking. Good location. Only 1 plug for this 3bd room to charge devices, placed so high on the wall that you need a chair to charge. The shower is either cool or burning hot. No possibility to hang the towels as even the bar for the shower curtain is half-broken and does not hold the weight of a towel. No cleaning daily service. Lot of light in the room during the night between the AC and the outside light.
- Luk (7/5): Nice to relax a bit by the swimming pool - Superb swimming pool Personel not very friendly
- Nathalie (9/5): Superb - The swimming pool was very well maintained. They stopped serving breakfast after the pandemic. Hopefully they will start it up again.
- Anastasia (9/5): Superb - Very clean, quiet and comfortable room, good swimming pool, good quality for the price nothing to mention
- Elizaveta (4/5): Overpriced and uncomfortable - clean rooms uncomfortable mattress and no breakfast included or food or dinning area , to overpriced and we checked out and had gone to airport family of 6 and 3 of us returned for only 30 min and they charged us 100 for having our stuff stored , what a shameful action!!not happy Mattress very uncomfortable was uncomfortable, and no breakfast included or food or dinning area , to overpriced and we checked out and had gone to airport family of 6 and 3 of us returned for only 30 min and they charged us 100 for having our stuff stored , what a shameful action!!not happy
- Chenxu (6/5): Meh - Good room with AC. They don’t accept card payment and claiming it’s shown on booking. No, what says on booking is payment at hotel. Had a hard time and the father and daughter weren’t helpful. Noisy in the early morning around 6.
- Miho (10/5): Exceptional -
- Samantha (8/5): Beautiful property. - The hotel was beautiful and the pool was fantastic. We were the only guests at the time so I can’t speak to what noise levels would be if fully occupied but it suited us perfectly for our purposes. It seems to be family run, the man and you get woman were friendly and helpful but the older lady was not at all. Also, one bed in our room was very comfortable but the other was not at all.
- Miho (10/5): Exceptional -
- Raymond (1/5): You can't rely on your booking being honoured. - We never had the opportunity to find out. Where to begin. We booked this hotel several weeks ago having been unable to book Hotel Maya in town. We arrived mid afternoon quite tired after the journey back from the Pampas. On arrival we were met by silent blank stares with the manager, who kept repeatedly staring at her phone screen and volunteering no explanation. We established that they had our booking but we were told they were full. We eventually discovered they had given our room to someone who had turned up that morning. The manager seemed to find the situation amusing, she gave no apology for what had happened and offered no assistance in finding another hotel. Fortunately our guide from the Pampas trip was still with us and helped sort out other accommodation... at Hotel Maya which was very good. The guide also mentioned that this was not an uncommon problem . So the Hotel might be absolutely marvelous.... we will never know .
- Megan (10/5): Exceptional - Swimming pool was what I needed. Staff was amazing, very helpful. I will stay there again. No everything was perfect 👌
- Stephen (7/5): Last couple nights in Rurre. Stay was just to do laundry and get reconfirm on plane to La Paz. - Nice courtyard. Would be nicer with pool usable. Pool was not usable. Management apologized for issue. Did have air conditioning so no real big issue. No breakfast service here.
- Kyonghui (9/5): Highly recommend - Very quite has big swimming pool. No English speaking staff.
- Cristina (8/5): Very good -
- Jared (9/5): Superb - Clean rooms with a very large pool. For anyone arriving via night bus, standard check in is early (9am). WIFI is fine in common areas, but doesn't reach all of rooms. Owner is aware and seems to be addressing.
- Alexander (9/5): Perfect stay before heading to jungle - Friendly host!
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were standard but clean and comfortable with ample hot water. The owner was very accommodating, allowing an early check in, holding our bags whilst we went on a tour for 5 days and also allowing us to use the outdoor showers upon return to clean up before our bus back to La Paz The outdoor area is a little Oasis with very well kept gardens and a nice pool. Nothing!
- Daniel (8/5): Very good - Very nice pool close to the center.. Bedside plug broken, no bedside reading lights.
- Ollie (8/5): Ideal for before tour - - Clean and comfortable - We were able to get an early check-in after the night bus - Quiet - Ideal for before or after tour
- Irene (10/5): great property and location - friendly staff and tucan all great!
- Jason (8/5): Very good -
- Carryn (10/5): Great place to stay - We spent a few nights here after our Amazon tour and it was just what we needed! Hot showers, airconditioning, comfortable beds, good wifi. the location is also perfect!
- Paul (8/5): Very good - Lovely Hotel with a good size pool.
- Chloe (8/5): Very good - Very clean and close to the town. Gave us everything we needed and had a nice pool. Family running it were very friendly too.
- Shaghayegh (2/5): Hoteles.com sin garantía. - Cuando llegué a mi destino y llamé para confirmar el hotel, me dijeron que no recibieron ninguna reserva, que ellos no trabajan con hoteles.com, todo un engaño!! Como es que ustedes no pueden garantizar la reserva? No utilicé ningún servicio de ustedes.
- Jason (8/5): Probably best hotel in Rurre - Large pool was definitely the highlight, but rooms were spacious, comfortable, with effective AC. Breakfast was modest but good. Couldn't ask for better location - short walk to the water and shops, restaurants. Wifi was spotty but never a major issue. I'd happily stay again pre/post Pampas/Madidi excursion!
- Verified traveler (6/5): It's ok, but I'd choose somewhere else next time - This place is ok. It can be very loud at night depending on the guests (slamming doors, drinking outside, etc.). There is also a rooster that lives next door as well as behind the hotel so be ready to be awoken very early. The staff is nice. The breakfast is ok but I got very sick from the eggs. There is a nice pool at the hotel which can help cool you down. Just a so-so place, a bit overpriced.
