Clean, great location and nice breakfast
You had to taxi everywhere from this place so it gets really expensive and the staff is not helpful at all if you don't speak Spanish don't even try
The place is still under construction so there's a lot of things that aren't available and it's unfinished the stuff during the day are very rude at least for me because I don't speak Spanish I wasn't able to get any help from them when I had questions and needed to go anywhere however the late night crew was very amazing and accommodated my nightly cereal snack and made me feel welcome
The bed was very comfortable and the AC was nice and cool. The pool was just as pictured.
The restaurant closes at 3pm which makes sense with only 12 rooms but there are no snacks available for purchase and no refrigerators in the room. We had to buy a cooler and buy ice every day. The drinks were also very overpriced - more expensive than what you find in town. The location is good but only if you are accustomed to the heat and humidity - if not the 10 min walk feels deathly. We opted to rent an ATV.
Good Location, great rooms with a nice terrace, Outstanding staff and service
Everything was great, hot water not working on day 1, but fixed by friendly staff immediately.
Cuando llegue al hotel estaba lloviendo fuertemente, por tanto, la alberca estaba sucia, con hojas de árbol, los solares de las habitaciones estaban desordenados por lo que mi primera impresión fue desoladora. Mejoró el clima, entró el staff de mantenimiento y mi visión del hotel cambió radicalmente. La actitud de servicio y atención a clientes del personal del hotel fue increíble. El concepto de hotel innovador y moderno y permite tener contacto con la naturaleza. Me gusto que no tienen TV, hay buen internet.
Todo fue agradable
The staff are super kind, especially the evening service. The morning people were not very attentive though and spent all day looking at their phone instead of checking on guests…
First, the location. It’s far away from any ‘busy’ area or beach, and you need to take a moto or taxi to go anywhere. Second, the cleanliness. The pool was very dirty and despite having told it to the staff, they did not make anything about it. The light went on and off after some rain. Last, they did not told us we needed to ask for the room to be done daily which turned out to leave our room not cleaned when we did not specifically asked for it. It’s okay if we need to ask, but let us know in advance…also they charge you for everything, even a second “coffee” (if you want to call it like that) during breakfast. Oh, I nearly forgot, breakfast is not worth the money, and they don’t have most of the options, funneling options to eggs, fruit, and pancakes…
Endroit isolé et donc calme Piscine
Climatisation très très bruillante dans toutes les chambres Terrasse peu utile Leger manque d entretien : dommage pour un hotel tres recent
Very peaceful location, big rooms, lovely pool, delicious breakfast and nice staff. It is a bit away from everything, but we really enjoyed that. La punta is really just 10-15 min walk, or you can get a taxi at any time.
-
Comfortable and quiet, also clean
Noo real room por parking, no hot water, pricey for what is offered, they didnt have a lot of the things we ordered on the menu
Lovely pool area, nice staff, very yummy food, overall felt very homely! Would definitely recommend as great value for money. Nice relaxing location away from the main area of La Punta - would definitely recommend getting a scooter or quad bike as the walk was too long for us, but the hotel order taxis for you if not so all good.
Aircon wasn’t working properly in our room so we had to move rooms after one night, then the second room didn’t have the nice big tv. If we had both the whole stay it would have been perfect!
Las instalaciones y el hotel están bien
No hay restaurante por la tarde noche y no hay nada cerca
Muy cómodo, el baño y las camas. La piscina y el restaurant eran muy agradables, ricos y no era caro.
A pesar que eran a 700 metros de la playa era un cerro!! De bajada bien, pero de subida era del terror. Habían muchas hormigas
L’hôtel plutôt design, une terrasse très agréable par chambre, la déco plutôt moderne et sympa. À 10 minutes à pied de l’animation mais ça grimpe…
Les équipements de la chambre sont assez limités : pas une chaise, aucun rangement pour les affaires, rien pour faire sécher les serviettes… climatisation très bruyante, la piscine est très agréable avec des gros matelas confortables mais l’eau de la piscine etait sale ; la terrasse du haut etait charmante mais sale
Las instalaciones son super cómodas, muy prácticas y de buen nivel.
Nada, la verdad es que es un súper spot para desconectar
Small hotel, calm at night, very friendly staff, good food & drinks and very clean rooms!
The beds are extra soft, the pool could have been cleaner.
Unfortunately, we only stayed 1 night, having booked 4 for a special birthday. The hotel was not to the high standard we were expecting from its score and reviews. Cleanliness and maintenance were not of a high standard, and the place seemed understaffed. There was undisclosed building work happening on arrival. Pool not maintained well. Stains on the pool beds and towels tired and stained. The room was tired and not very well maintained. Stained pillows, dusty, poorly lit, smelly, noisy A/C. It's a bit far from town, 10 min walk. Customer service was infuriating when trying to obtain a refund. They use an AI bot. We are still hoping for a refund to be granted as we feel the property is currently misrepresented as a classy boutique hotel.
Lack of maintenance is the main issue here. If upkeep was kept on top of, this would be a wonderful property worthy of high scores.
Zimmer war ok
Laute Baustelle, unfreundliches Personal, Pool ohne Wasser
Great value for money and the stay exceeted my expectations including the room and food at the premesis.
water wasn't always warm and some strange smell coming from the bathroom (sometimes)
Super schönes ruhiges Hotel in ruhiger Lage, etwas auf der Anhöhe aber kein Problem, man kommt innerhalb von 15 min zu Fuß zum Strand und zur Main Street von La Punta. Das Personal war sehr nett und Essen vom Restaurant auch super. Es gibt genügend Liegen am Pool (sehr bequem.) Auch die kleinen Dachterassen auf jedem Zimmer sind super privat und groß.
Es sollte ein Adults only Hotel sein, wir haben jedoch Kinder gesehen (waren uns nicht sicher, ob die vom Personal waren), sie waren aber nicht bei der Poolarea.
I liked the size of the room and the hot showers
I didn't like the food in restuarant was minimum Choice and over priced and not great .
We had a very nice stay at Bora Boutique. The pool area is beautiful, with lots of trees and greenery that make it feel very relaxing. The location was a bit farther from Punta Zicatela than I expected, so it takes a little longer to get to the main beach/restaurants. Our bed wasn’t the most comfortable, and the staff’s English was limited, but everyone was kind and tried to help. Overall, a lovely place if you’re looking for a quiet, pretty spot and don’t mind being a bit outside the main area.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The beds were the best bit of our stay - so comfortable! The staff were lovely and the food reasonably priced with it being a hotel. We loved the pool and there were lots of sun loungers which was great. They bought shots and free snacks round!
There was about a 15 minute walk from the town which wasn’t long but it was dark at night and we didn’t feel 100% comfortable. Please also put a filter tap as would be easier to access our own fresh water!
It is very quiet place to stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable.
The location is good, but it is very dark in the night because the lights on the road to the hotel doesn’t work
Las instalaciones
La ubicación se siente lejana pero con auto no es un problema, vale la pena
El trato de las personas
El camino para llegar
Es tranquilo muy cómodo y bonito, el personal súper atento y amable
Beautiful boutique hotel. Good quality for the price we paid (around €125 a night). Perfect pool/bar to chill and relax between the beach time and other activities. Nice staff. Location was fine. We enjoyed the ~10min walk to the main strip, and due to its location, it was also possible to enter a more quiet beach as well.
The room facilities could have been more comprehensive, and the bathroom’s finish could have been better. Overall I’d rate it a 9.5, but as that’s not possible, I’ll round it up to a 10.
Las camas... muy, muy comodas... despues de un largo viaje en moto las cmas fue lo mas reconfortable... por otra parte los alimento muy buenos...
Absolutely amazing place. The rooms were very comfortable and large. The pool area is fantastic with double bed per apartment and the food was incredible. Every meme we of staff were super friendly and professional. The location is 10 mins from the beach in a taxi and it’s very safe.
Everything was fantastic
Couldn’t imagine a better stay in Puerto Escondido than at Bora. Hands down the best accommodation we have ever experienced. We originally booked two nights and ended up staying for an entire week, thats how special this place is. It’s not just about the facilities or the location - it’s the vibe that makes Bora unique. There’s a sense of calm and freedom here that lets you truly unwind and enjoy your time off to the fullest. A huge thank-you to the wonderful staff, always ready to help and make us feel comfortable. You made our stay unforgettable.
Nada
Silent, very private and 1km to the beach. 12 minutes on foot. Motorcycle’s available for rental
Drinks and food are pricy. Service is excellent
El colchón de la cama muy agradable para dormir
No hay TV en la habitación, no hay estacionamiento, wifi intermitente, a un lado hay una construcción y es molesto el ruido desde las 7 am
Tout était très bien La piscine et ses aménagements sont super Les chambres sont spacieuses et propres. Elles bénéficient chacune d’une terrasse sur le toit de la chambre. Personnel très agréable disponible à toute heure du jour
Routes peu adaptées au passage des taxis
Las instalaciones y la decoración del lugar, tiene mucho estilo.
Para llegar en auto es un poco lento porque no está pavimentada la calle porque se ve que es un fraccionamiento nuevo, pero llegando al lugar, dentro es muy bonito y elegante.
La tranquilidad del lugar
El aire acondicionado dejó de funcionar el último día :/
The pool
The place wants to be high standard but it is not. There are so many little things which don’t add up of making sense at this place. Our guess is somebody who doesn’t have knowledge from hotels was building this hotel. It looks nice on the first second but it’s missing lot of stuff. Also the location is far from Punta and on bad roads. We had a rental car so it wasn’t that bad, but without a car or scooter no way.
La privacidad del hotel considero que es un plus, muy limpio y bonitas instalaciones ademas de no haber ruido. El lugar esta muy retirado de la zona comun de restaurantes, ademas para llegar a la zona turistica no hay senalamientos, muchos albaniles en el camin. No recomiendo caminar durante la tarde-noche. Se siente inseguro, necesario tomar transporte para llegar a la propiedad.
Si lo que buscas es descanso en una sola apartada de todo, esta es la opción
Lugar muy agradable y tranquilo, área de alberca se disfruta y el personal muy muy atento, pero al ser hotel boutique me hubiera gustado encontrar más detalles y servicios propios de un hotel de esas características. Muchas felicidades al personal siempre atento y dispuesto
The location it was nice and quite a little farther out from the main strip but I enjoyed the walk about 10-15 minutes
Staff cordiale e gentile, pulizia, camere spaziose
Lavanderia bianca rovinata ma staff cordiale e gentile, mi hanno offerto le colazioni e il pranzo a valle dell’accaduto. Doccia quasi sempfe fredda e piscina non sempre pulita.
El hotel es simplemente hermoso, la cama cómoda y la atención excelente. La comida es excelente y accesible.
Queda lejos de la playa pero los taxis son accesibles y muy amables.
Great place to spend your vacations in puerto Nuevo. Staff is friendly and can make great shrimp ceviche. Love the setting of the hotel with pool in the center.
Very nice outside area wirh beautiful pool
Aircon could ve worked a little better
.
En mi opinión es un bueno hotel, bonito, tipo suites privadas. Me gusto mucho. La alberca esta linda. El servicio de las chicas de recepción y restaurante 10 de 10.
Had cold a/c, quiet
Such a beautiful and peaceful place. Less than 10 minutes down the hill to the hustle and bustle of La Punta. Which made it the perfect location because it was so peaceful and quiet while being so close to the action. Everyone who works at the hotel was beyond lovely and helpful. The selection and quality of food and drinks was great and had everything you could have wanted. I really could not recommend Bora Boutique Hotel more.
Amazing hotel retreat in Puerto Escondido. We stayed here for 3 nights and had the most relaxing stay away from the crowds in La Punta. Thank you to Jacquelin for making the most amazing smoothies (“El Jefe” smoothie) and to Lendi and the rest of the Team for the friendly, attentive service, for helping to arrange taxis and for serving a delicious dinner. The hotel is very luxurious as each room has it’s own garden terrace and outdoor shower. The pool was thoroughly cleaned every morning too. Highly recommend for your stay in Puerto Escondido

El hotel no tiene planta de luz propia. En nuestra primera noche la luz se fue a las 11pm y regresó 12 horas después. Sin luz, tampoco hubo agua porque la bomba no servía. Tuvimos que dormir sin aire acondicionado ni ventiladores y tampoco agua. Por si fuera poco, otros huéspedes salieron al lobby en la madrugada y el encargado de la recepción les estuvo dando cervezas y se convirtió en una fiesta con mucho ruido cuando en su reglamento piden silencio y dejan de vender alcohol en la noche. Ellos rompieron sus propias reglas. Al final aceptaron devolverme el dinero de una noche pero la otra sí la tuve que pagar.
Un 10 de 10 en el servicio y excelentes instalaciones... si volveria 😁
Muchas hormigas en camastros
Un lugar muy lindo y ameno para vacacionar
The location was great - a little off the beaten track but a relatively 10-15 min easy downhill walk to the shops & beach. You will most likely need to get a cab back but the fares are reasonable and it takes >5mins. The pool area was amazing! You could stay there all day and enjoy the great service from staff and soak up the sun on the generously sized sun beds. Also, very cool that each room has it's own rooftop terrace. Rooms are all off the pool so unless you keep the curtains closed it's not superrr private. However, they were modern, spacious and the beds were huge and very comfy. The staff were so friendly and hospitable. The food & drinks were great and came out quickly! I would live there if possible - highly recommend. Thank you BORA :)
Lugar súper tranquilo y bien equilibrado, el personal excepcional, comida muy buena , precios justos
Staff were lovely and helpful at all times, lovely place to stay
15 minutes uphill from the main place for restaurants and bars but nothing of the hotels fault.
Pretty pool, nice atmosphere with the individual rooftop terraces and patio.
Pillows were uncomfortable. Amenities were a bit basic (ie no cups in bathroom/bedroom). Bar menu was decent although a bit limited and breakfast took a long time to prepare cut fruit and yogurt. Location was challenging to walk anywhere.
We felt the design of the rooms all together in a horshoe pattern was excellent. It provides a close safe atmosphere. Which also allowed for guests to connect easier. Very friendly staff. There is plenty of quiet or private time. Great variety of food at the on site restaurant. If you have any requests they do their best to fulfill them. Small but adequate pool. My major dislike was the difficulty with getting and maintaining a consistent warm water temperature. It seemed like they are using a hot water on demand unit, but it is very difficult to figure out the right temperature as you get either really hot water and then all of a sudden cold water.Then vice versa. Plenty of room in your casa. You can walk to town jn about 15 minutes. (Not too be done in the heat of the day).
The room was spacious and bed was comfortable and liked that it was quiet and felt homey
The lighting it was a bit to dark for my liking especially the bathroom
It’s a nice property, nice staff. But the bed was extremely soft and also the shower didn’t have hot water but i like cold showers. A little far from the beach but not by much. Overall great with a few small issues.
Nice Rooms, cleaned spotless everyday, staff was nice
No TV in the room, after we returned from the beach the room was clean but everyday the AC was turned down so much that it was freezing cold in the rooms, also the vibe was a bit odd, that's just my personal experience, the interaction amongst other guests was not really existing which for me is a huge part of how I feel in an accomodation. Bed was a bit too soft for us and for that price I would have loved some filtered water in the rooms or at the bar for guests
The staff was amazing at Bora. We booked a 6 night stay last minute after being very disappointed with our Airbnb. They accommodated with a very early check in as well. The food was delicious, drinks good, bed super comfortable! The upstairs deck was a brilliant touch. The staff worked hard to keep the property clean and in great condition The pool had direct sunlight so it was perfect temperature. Plenty cabanas for each guest. They gave great recommendations, helped with laundry and was always helpful. There is plenty of parking for ATVs scooters or even a car rental.
Wish the whirlpool jets worked a bit more
Breakfast was simple but great. thanks to the friendly staff. clean and the room are deffo a highlight. clean.
Excelente servicio, ubicación y atención, muchas gracias!! Volvemos pronto!!
Espectacular todo maravilloso volvería
Bonitas instalaciones, el Roof de cada habitación es muy lindo. La cama y almohadas son incómodas. Pero lo que menos nos gustó fue la poca capacitación del personal, no conocen estándares de un hotel del nivel que pretende ser éste. Tratan de hacerlo bien, pero por ej no conocen bien lo que ofrecen en la carta del restaurante; nos dieron una lista de precios de masajes que no era vigente y tuvimos que pagar $400 más del supuesto precio original, aparte de que nunca nos confirmaron las citas, y de repente llegaron las chicas del masaje (por casualidad estábamos en el hotel); tampoco conocían bien los tours que ofrecen; para cerrar, tenemos nivel gold y pedimos una hora más para el check out y dijeron que no porque estaban llenos, aunque había 3 habitaciones ocupadas; y muchas cosas más que la gerente nos pidió especificar por chat, pero aunque nos tomamos el tiempo de hacerlo como retroalimentación para mejorar, nos dejó en visto ☹️ Ahí se nota la falta de cuidado al cliente, que al final también es la falta de cuidado en capacitar y supervisar a su personal. Lástima, porque el lugar es bonito. Ojalá fuera tan amable como su IA, que contesta y resuelve de buen modo. No volveremos.
Super
Lovely pool area, very chilled hotel, enough day beds by the pool for everyone to use. Staff very friendly and good location walking distance to the Punta. Great value for money
Excelente lugar si quieres relajarte, las instalaciones y el personal son de 10. Recomiendo rentar coche ya que está un poco lejos de la playa y la zona de restaurantes, es pura subida y las calles son puras piedras y pocas están pavimentadas.
El personal excelente!! Jacqueline muy atenta y muy amable. Muchas gracias
The room was perfect, did not have any inconveniences and service was amazing.
Me encantó lo tranquilo y la cama deliciosa, sugiero que pongan TV en los cuartos, eso fue lo único que no me agradó mucho
Beautiful spot. A little distance from the main part of town but not terrible. Very nice. I will be back.
Súper opción, excelente atención, bonito, cómodo
El hotel es muy bonito y comodo. La liempieza en cada habitacion es buena y lo hacen una vez al dia. Procuran hacerlo cuando tu te encuentre fuera de la habitacion lo que te asegura encontrar tu habitacion limpia todos los dias a tu regreso. Si llevas coche contempla que no hau estacionamiento, debes dejarlo fuera pero la verdad es seguro. Lo unico que no me gusto y por lo cual me pensaria 2 veces volver a reservar es la poca limpieza que se le da a la alberca, todos los dias esta llena de insectos muertos y en realidad no la limpian, es desafortunado por qje es bastante amplia. De ahi en fuera todo es bueno, el servicio, la comida y las instalaciones yo le doy un 7/10 solo por el tema de la alberca. Eso si, es una zona poco accesible. Recomiendo tener un transporte para poder entrar y salir de la zona en la que se ubica Bora boutique. Si lo que quieres es desconectarte de todo es un lugar ideal. Silencioso y tranquilo.
Las almohadas estaban con moho sinembargo al comunicarlo si la s cambiaron seria util poner mosquiteros para poder airear la habitacion los camastros olia mucho a sudor no hay estacionamiento

What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
8/10Mixed reports: some guests found rooms and common areas clean, but several reviews mention the pool being dirty at times and inconsistent room cleaning unless specifically requested.
Service
9.8/10Staff repeatedly praised for friendliness and responsive service (maintenance quickly fixed issues); a few comments about less attentive morning staff, but overall service is a standout positive.
Location
9.5/10Peaceful, secluded setting is repeatedly highlighted and appreciated; however it is a 10–15 minute walk to La Punta and can feel challenging in hot/humid weather, so transport is often needed.
Room Quality
8.9/10Rooms are comfortable with good beds and terraces, but there are recurring complaints about noisy or malfunctioning air-conditioning and the absence of in-room refrigerators.
Amenities
8.8/10Lovely pool area and good communal spaces; however limited on-site amenities in evenings (restaurant closes early), no in-room fridges/snacks for purchase, and occasional minor maintenance issues noted.
Value for Money
7.5/10Several guests felt drinks and some charges were overpriced and that breakfast or menu options did not always justify the price — value perception is a notable drawback.
Food and Beverage
8.7/10Food receives praise from multiple guests for taste and quality, but options are limited, breakfast offerings are restricted at times, and restaurant hours are short which reduces convenience.
Overall Experience
10/10Overall impressions are very positive: many guests describe a relaxing, homely stay with outstanding staff and recommend the hotel despite some logistical and amenity shortcomings.
