Overall Ratings & Reviews Mata e' Platano Guesthouse

This is a very clean beauty place to stay. Gated entrance minutes away from everything yet in a quiet place.

Simple but comfortable, close to Yunque Forest and Luquillo Beaches. Secluded property with gated safe parking, beautiful garden and pool area. Good coffee for breakfast and self check in with good communication with management.

Great little room with wonderful a/c. We stayed for the night after hiking el yunkue all day and the bed was very comfortable. Small room but had everything we needed.

I recently stayed at Mata e Platano Guesthouse and overall had a pleasant and relaxing experience. The space is peaceful and surrounded by nature. I enjoyed the pool area, it's a lovely place to unwind. The pool technically stays open until 10pm, which is great, though I did notice it stops filtering around 4pm, so by the evening there were some bugs and leaves floating. The room was small but cozy, and I liked the simplicity of the space. They provide a first aid kit and mosquito repellent, which is a thoughtful touch, though both are stored in the breakfast room and since that room is locked after 10am, you can’t access them later in the day if you need them. They offer a light breakfast with sweet snacks, crackers, bread (though no butter), and usually one fruit. I’d recommend they update the listing to say “morning snacks” instead of “breakfast” to better reflect what’s provided. On our first morning, the breakfast room was still closed at 7am even though they stated it opened at 6am, we had to call for them to unlock it, which was inconvenient. Noise from the upstairs guests was a major drawback. You can hear every footstep, and it went on well past 1am, making it hard to sleep. Also, the bed sheets had stains, which made the room feel a little less cared for than expected. The hosts were always responsive when we called, and that gave us some peace of mind. Considering the downsides, I do feel the price is a bit high for what’s offered.

We had a great time , super private chic and innovative. Rooms are made out of containers. Will highly recommended

It was nice and quiet, the only thing I didn't like that it was damp and stuffy like moldy

Buena ubicación

Beautiful facility

Loved it perfect and easy check in and check out so peaceful have a car or prepare to uber everywhere

This guest house was absolutely magical

It’s a beautiful guesthouse and clean. I loved staying here it was amazing. The person that assisted me over the phone was very helpful and kind when checking in and also extending my stay.

We were so grateful that there was a generator so we had power! Location is very convenient both to shopping, beaches and close to San Juan. Luquillo has a cute Downtown with restaurants as well. The rooms are very small but was enough for the two of us. Buy cream or milk and breakfast items as they have coffee but only powdered creamer and not much for breakfast.

This property is very unique in its build. We were pleasanty surprised on how nice it was to stay in the converted cargo containers. Located 1/2 way between El Yunque National Forest and Fajardo to do the bioluminescence tour, it was very convenient. The property is very well kept. While there is no host on site, they were very responsive with texts on What's App. If you follow the provided pins, it is extremely easy to find.

property was very quiet and peaceful lots of greenery you feel very relaxed in their amazing pool; room is just big enough for a couple, small quarters as it is made from shipping containers. but they maximized the space very well!

Very modern. Loved the “courtyard” area

Need more options for breakfast, like bagels, toaster oven, boiled eggs, fruits, etc... We stayed for 7 days and I expected more options for breakfast. There were fruit flies in the room every day. The a/c should not blow directly to the bed. It made sleeping very cold even when we raised the temperature. The room had a stale smell that would not go away.

Mejorar el desayuno con frutita, huevos, chocolate caliente, leche vegana ( no tomo café) y un tv en el cuarto

Very clean and unique!

We had a lovely stay at Mata e' Platano Guesthouse. The property was very quiet and peaceful. If you want to feel close to nature, this is the place for you. We fell asleep to the sound of the cocqui and woke up to roosters and birdsong. The facilities were clean and tidy. The room was a little humid and we saw a handful of mosquitos, but thats expected in the rainforest climate. The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful and accommodating whenever we had a request or concern. We didn't like that the shower in the bathroom didn't have a curtain. It also would have been nice if the patio doors had screens so we could get fresh air without letting bugs in. But overall, they did a lot to make a bunch of shipping containers into a comfortable and unique place to stay!

TINY space with no ventilation in room or bathroom other than windows with NO SCREENS. We found multiple mosquitoes and spiders on arrival because the balcony was left open slightly. When we closed the windows, it was so humid and uncomfortable. We had to have the A/C blasting to help with the humidity, but the bed was positioned right under it, so our HEADS had to deal with direct COLD AIR BLASTING.
