Please exercise some patience, as there are non-English speaking staff but they will try to help you. The rooms are really small. My TV didn't work and as a solo traveler, that was a bit disappointing and the staff couldn't fix it. In addition, I couldn't control the air conditioner with the remote and it's powered by inserting the door entry card into a slot by the front door. Which means, I had to get up throughout the night to turn off the A/C. This area was incredibly noisy during my visit and you must be careful at night. The staff was very nice and I loved the sweet dog! Breakfast was simple. Overall, the price per night matched my experience.

Great place, calm and quiet….even though it’s near a busy beach area. Beautiful old mansion, lovely art, nice breakfast, staff speaks English, great location

What an adorable and comfortable place! I felt safe as a solo female traveler. They were awesome in accommodating breakfast for me to a vegan, gluten-free diet. It's super clean and walkable to a lot of places. My favorite part is Zulema - the hotel dog!

the location was great, the room was spacious, the bathroom was nice and big lots of closet space hammocks to rest in, a pleasant overall atmosphere just lovely all around, felt like staying with a lovely friend in a beautiful old house in a perfect location by the sea

I liked the staff who were always helpful and made my stay very comfortable. I also really enjoyed the delicious breakfasts!

Pousada Estrela do Mar was a nice bed & breakfast. The best parts of the hotel are definitely the staff, the location close to the beaches in Barra & the Barra Lighthouse, and the breakfast! The hotel itself is otherwise quite basic. We stayed in a 1 bed- room and though there was a small balcony, the room itself was small. Also, make sure they turn on the hot water for the shower! We didn't have hot water our first day because it wasn't turned on.

Friendly staff, nice place

Comfortable and convenient location but a taxi ride away from the centre. Make sure you don't stay in the downstairs room opposite the kitchen unless you want to be woken up by staff at 5:45am!

Pousada Estrela do Mar was great - lovely location right by the sea, helpful and friendly staff, great advice from Sean about things to do and places to visit and a fantastically fresh breakfast which was different every morning

Great staff and breakfast each day was delicious thankyou.

we've had FUNtastic time. place is beautifuly located, breakfast delicious,stunning decor, staff superfriendly and most helpful - went above and beyond the call of duty on at least 3 occasions!:). we would come back anytime and recommend it to anyone!

a very good place to stay..great staff attention..the best breakfast ever..good location for the beaches, food shops and restaurants..not that touristy unlike the peluhrino area..would recommend the Pousada to all

If I go back to Salvador (and I sure hope I do), I hope I'll be able to stay here again. The hotel staff and owner are friendly and attentive. I really appreciated the great customer service we received from the moment we made the reservation till the time we left the property at the end of our stay. Here are a few of the highlights: Location, in the Barra area by the lighthouse and beaches. We especially loved this area at night--there were restaurants and live musicians within walking distance. Daily breakfasts. They were simple, filling and tasty. The eggs were made to order and the jams and juices are fresh and delicious. Room/bathroom. Our room was a good size and it was nice to have a few English options on the television. And the warm shower water was a plus. Staff. Went out of their to make our stay great. They offered tips, booked things for us in advance, called around to get information ... all to ensure we would have a great time and we did.

This hotel was average. Bed wasn't very comfortable. The rooms need some attention, Tv was very old with few channels. Cleaning was just ok. The floors need to be cleaned better. The area felt safer then other areas we visited in sketchy salvador.

Reservei com medo de que não fosse gostar muito. Mas é melhor do que nas fotos. Me surpreendeu positivamente. O ponto é ótimo. Tem ótimos conforto. O pessoal é muito gentil.

A pousada é linda, uma gracinha. Todos que me atenderam foram prestativos e simpáticos, e o café da manhã foi uma delícia. Pretendo voltar em breve!

Fomos muito bem recebidos na pousada! Ótima localização, limpeza e estrutura.

Fiquei encantada com a gentileza do anfitrião. Todo suporte e apoio necessário recebi da equipe. Todos estão de parabéns!!

Otimo custo x benefício. Local limpo e aprazível.

Pousada muito bem localizada, próximo a praia e demais atrativos. Um bom local para se hospedar na praia da barra.
