“Amazing Pousada in Salvador, I wish i was still there”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

It was a very nice stay in Salvador, Nino, the guy who owns the pousada was very helpful and gave us great tips for the rest of our trip. The building of the pousada is beautiful with amazing interiors. Breakfast on a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea.
nice nice...

Room Tip: I guess rooms overlooking the sea

Tthis Pousada was nice enough, we staid for a couple of days and were due to stay for one night again before our flight home. A word of warning, although we cancelled the reservation 3 days before they went ahead and charged us full price for the room using our credit card details that they had stored. Be careful not to give them your card details online as they will use them to charge your card without your approval should you need to change or cancel your reservatio.. I found this most unprofessional and I suspect is due to the fact that it is not actually doing very well and is tyring to hawl in as much money as possible, at the expense of good service.
When we staid before the room was OK, the view is of the industrial harbour and the army base.

The allegation that we process guests’ credit cards without undue authorization is incorrect and unjust. All credit cards transactions are processed upon signed authorization from our clients.

The reservation in question was made by another guest, sharing the room with the complainant. The reservation was confirmed, and upon written signed authorization, dated July 08, 2011 from the accompanying guest authorizing my hotel to process the credit card to value of 01 full daily rate, we subsequently processed the credit card.

All reservations are subject to our clearly stated cancellation policy, where any cancellation made after expired deadlines will be subject to penalties. Our cancellation policy is clearly stated on our reservation form, in large print and highlighted in bold letters, immediately above the space on our reservation form where clients sign and authorize payment.

The aforementioned signed document was sent to our office by return on the same dat
e July 08, 2011 in JEPD format, (a document format that does not allow any alterations). We retain this document in our files, as well all other relevant documentation relating to the reservation in question, along with the cancellation received 2 days before arrival date, (and not 3 days), when the deadline for cancellation had expired, and subsequently, as per clearly stated cancellation conditions, the penalty was justifiably charged due to the late cancellation.

In closing we feel it pertinent to mention that any unauthorized use of credit cards are reimbursed by the credit card company involved.

“The gem of Salvador, great location, yummy food, clean and comfortable!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011

Pousada Boqueirao is a wonderfully warm and charming colonial B&B with a gallery like feel, just up a small hill in magical Pelourinho. The location is perfect for walking and discovering the sites, restaurants and shops, although I do not recommend walking at night on ones own. The breakfasts were a master creation of delicious indulgence to awaken your taste buds... I am still salivating! a must stay while in Salvador!

“17 years since my first stay still my favourite place to have breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2011

I have probably stayed here 10 times both for business and pleasure. I've stayed in most of the rooms and keep coming back, preferring it to more convenient business hotels (Pestana, Othon). The view is unique, the breakfast too, rooms comfortable, not luxurious but overall a fabulous place to rest, escape from the bustle of the city and wake up to a delicious breakfast and spectacular views.

“Excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2011

This is an excellent hostel, which might give you a bad impression from the outside (at least that's what I thought at first). As soon as you enter, a huge area awaits you, plus the staff are so well trained (bet due to the owners being Italian!) Restaurant / Lounge area is situated port / sea view. Quiet neighborhood, in Pelourinho area, within walking distance to bars & restaurants.

Food is superb!
