When I booked through Expedia, I didn’t get an email for gate codes until the night I arrived on the island.. I had to call the number and the phone line wasn’t a good connection - lady was hard to hear/understand. However shortly thereafter hanging up, I received a text message with all the information.

The guesthouse was beautifully maintained! Room had ice cold ac.. the shower water didn’t get that warm, but it was charming! Very close to El Yunque Rainforest, lots of restaurants and beautiful scenery! The people and culture here are charming!

I would overall rate my experience here a 8/10, and would definitely choose to book here again in the future.

If you’re not staying in the suite- the room is a literal small one bedroom with very little space but if your not planing to stay in- you’ll be fine there is no tv in the room- so dont bank on that for your evening or else you’ll be string at all fours walls. Otherwise the staff and location was wondrous- we saw nice animals all over and it was delightful otherwise- no worry for parking or breakfast - pantry stocked- beach chair available- sunscreen bug spray and more but we came prepared

The hotel garden and outdoor area was beautiful!! I didn’t see any staff while we were staying there and rooms don’t get cleaned during the day but besides that the location was perfect and the breakfast station was amazing. The hammocks near the pool felt like a sanctuary. Could relax out there all day.

Our room was spotless and the AC kept things perfectly comfortable throughout our stay. The morning snack bar was a lovely touch, and the staff were incredibly helpful the whole time. Only small suggestion: maybe keep some heavy-duty bug spray on hand — we had an unexpected (and admittedly not the host’s fault!) spider encounter in the shower. Otherwise, a great stay and we’d happily come back!

We booked this guesthouse a day before we travelled and hadn't done any research on where we were staying so we were so pleasantly surprised at how lovely this place was. It's a few container rooms so not too crowded at all. The room was small but relaxing and we slept really well here. There's no TV but I had my laptop with me because I knew I wanted to watch the football world cup games. The kitchen, grab and go breakfast room, was very convenient. The coffee machine is super convenient. The grounds were beautiful, gorgeous trees and greenery all around. We enjoyed evenings reading in the hammocks and in the pool. A great place to come back to and relax at the end of an adventurous day 😊. It had good parking and communication for arrival was really clear.
Follow the route on Google maps to get there, don't use the address on Expedia.

The property was beautiful, we saw iguanas, lizards, coquís, and a flock of puerto rican parrots fly overhead. The horticulture was well maintained and the flower garden was beautiful. Check in and out was super easy and the host was very communicative. The room was super cute, the AC was a lifesaver, and the continental breakfast was perfect to save a little money on eating out throughout the trip. We loved our second floor balcony in Villa #8. Very calm, clean, and peaceful stay. Also great location between the beaches and El Yunque Forest. Luquillo is such a charming town! We would definitely stay here again.

La propiedad es hermosa. Un rinconcito de campo cerca de la playa y toda la actividad. Aunque no tiene fronteras desk, siempre se ve personal presente arreglando los alrededores y cualquier situación con la propiedad te atienden y resuelven muy bien por teléfono. En mi caso, lo único que no me encantó fue la cama. La encontré un poco dura y hubiera deseado una frisa más gruesa. Lo demás fue excelente. Muy recomendado y volvería a repetir.

Mata e platano was beautiful, close to everything! The property was clean thoroughly everyday, i always saw the staff cleaning the pool, around the patio, etc. continental breakfast was good, the room is much smaller than what it looks likes on pictures, but for 2 people it’s perfect! I wished we had more like trash bags for the bathroom trashcan so one can replace it if it’s full and no trashcan for other trash inside the room so we had to go outside to the thrash bin to throw away small/medium trash, but honestly i loved the stay and i think in the future I would definitely stay again!

This place is really peaceful and beautiful. I stayed for a few nights and enjoyed my time there. Parking was phenomenal and the staff are communicative.
The only downside is there’s no TV nor a microwave in the room.
There’s a microwave in the breakfast room/area that you have full access to anytime. And wifi is superb to where you can stream on your phone. Keep in mind though that they are near a rainforest so depending on time of year it'll rain.
Also I LOVED and will miss the French vanilla coffee from their espresso machine. So dang good especially with cinnamon.
Also this place is conveniently close to Luquillo beach and would definitely recommend going there early in the AM to be the crowds and get a good spot.

The property is peaceful and beautiful. They have 2 hammocks in the front, complimentary breakfast which can actually be accessed any time. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. It truly is a peaceful environment surrounded by the rainforest! We got room 5 upstairs which didn’t necessarily have a private patio but it does have a front patio that’s tucked away from the other rental units. The pictures are accurate, the rooms are snug. The a/c works very well! Water pressure was pretty good. Or room had 2 large windows that opened up and it was so relaxing!! I wish I had a full body mirror though. It was easy to reach the staff for any concerns I had. I think next time, I will rent the guest house suite for more space. Overall, happy with my experience !

Great space for a solo traveller... The rooms are pretty compact, not sure how 2 people would fair multiple days in a small space. The location is located in a quiet area very much away from the hustle and bustle. The grounds are very well kept and clean. The only issue I had was with the water from the shower pooling in the shower and spilling into the bedroom area a bit. They should also address the water that pools up in front of the door of the rooms due to rain and watering of the plants. I soaked my sandals a couple times trying to open the door. Other than that it was great. Quiet, clean and peaceful. I would probably give them a try again if I am in the area.

They say life's built with memories, and memories here will definitely last a life time.
If you want a place to disconnect and unwind, if you want to listen to the Chorus of the rainforest while relaxing in a pool, If you want a clean modern unique accommodation then Mata e Platano Guesthouses are for you.
If it's not, book a Hotel Chain.
We stayed here for 7days and it was magical. On the day of arrival you are sent all the information required on how to access the Carpark and Accommodation.
Once you park in the secure property, you instantly hear the soft music playing in the gardens, Our accommodation had one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in, Large spacious Toilet and Shower. The room also has Air conditioning and a beautiful small balcony overlooking the swimming pool.
The amenities, Breakfast was provided between 6am and 10am a basic mixture of cereal, waffles Toast and jams, Coffee and fresh fruit juices are also available. Enough is provided to begin your day. Then a few hours in the hammock listening to the background music.
Now I have to say the Property lies in the El Yunque National Rainforest and as such the Nightly Choirs that the Forest provides from the Frogs and Birds is beautiful. BEWARE IT CAN BE LOUD. Ear plugs were provided to help people sleep or bring your own. It's the Rainforest, so it does rain ( Shock)
Location to other attractions were great. San Juan is 30mins away local beaches 10mins away. Grocery story 10 mins away.

Really helpful and friendly staff in an aptly located property (only if you have a car). The ones complaining about the coqui frogs should avoid traveling to a rainforest in the first place - we found it to be soothing. Highly recommend if your plan is to explore eastern Puerto Rico while being close enough to visit San Juan.

The few things to improve (also pointed out by other guests) which were not a deal-breaker for us:
- the mustiness in the rooms can be prevented by adding shower doors and running the AC at all times/adding vent fans to the bathrooms. I think it is caused by the shower water spraying all over the bathroom floor, the container isn't really a structure that breathes.
- the placement of AC right above the bed was a bit too much.
- a dedicated larger space for drying clothes would be helpful.

The property was easy to find, and everything was clean and ready when I arrived. Some areas looked a bit worn, with minor peeling paint and chipped wood, but overall it was a good stay.

If you’re sensitive to noise, they provide earplugs for nighttime sounds from animals and insects, though it didn’t bother me. Breakfast was available throughout the day, and I especially enjoyed the hot chocolate.

My patio door didn’t lock, but since I was on the second floor, I wasn’t too concerned. On the positive side, the space was clean, the sheets felt freshly washed, and everything in the room worked well. Staff communication was decent, and the guidebook with helpful information was a nice touch.

What we liked: Pretty property nestled near both the rainforest and the beach. Nice landscaping, lots of birds and coquís. Nice pool.

What we didn’t like: Very small room—prepare to be cramped with luggage for two. When we arrived, the AC was completely turned off, so the room was muggy, and after that it never wasn’t damp (which is understandable given its location). There was also some water damage on the floor, in part because the shower is set up that it gets the floor wet. While overall the room was clean, there was a fair amount of hair on a shower wall the cleaners clearly missed. The breakfast was probably the biggest let down. “Continental breakfast” is misleading. There is a Nescafé which is nice. Otherwise it’s a moderate amount of waffle mix, a couple cereal options, not even milk (when we stayed), bread, jelly (no peanut butter when we stayed), some sad fruit, cheese sticks, and some sugary processed things. Not exactly the fuel you want to hike El Yunque. We also personally didn’t like the repeating piped-in spa music in the communal outdoor area—big sanatorium vibes—we’d have preferred just the rainforest ambiance.

Nice hotel but there was water damage in our room from the water going everywhere when people shower. Breakfast was simple, just cereal, waffle maker, and toast. They do supply bottled water, which we appreciated.
Not insulated very well from noise. The frogs were very loud but I found it to be quite peaceful- my issue was the person staying below us out on the balcony all night talking loudly and smoking weed. Obviously, that is not the fault of the property but better sound insulation is recommended.

The culture here is something you can truly feel. You hear the coquí at night, smell the fresh air, and actually want to hang outside your room or by the pool. It’s not just a stay, it’s an experience. This is something you simply won’t get inside a Marriott or Hilton. If you’re looking for something real, relaxing, and connected to the island, this is it.

This is a great property as a place to lay your head when traveling around the island. Some of the instructions on getting around, check in, and check out were confusing and depending on where you look for it (via website, text, email, handbook in the room) there was conflicting information. While being in the middle of nature and local living is part of the experience, if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs and an eye mask. Those coquís and other habitat like to be loud in the evenings and mornings. The breakfast room is open 24/7 which was a huge bonus as it had an ice maker and microwave along with kitchen utensils. The room itself was pleasant and was spacious for a solo traveler. The area felt safe as the location is gated.

We stayed 5 nights and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. Check -in was easy, and parking was super convenient.

The grounds and landscaping are absolutely stunning. Pictures honestly don’t do it justice. Our room was spotless, smelled fresh, and the bed was so comfortable. Having access to a kitchen was also a huge plus and came in handy throughout our stay.

This place really didn’t miss a single detail. Falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest was the cherry on top. The entire vibe is so quaint, peaceful, and relaxing.

10/10 recommend we would absolutely stay here again.

It was very convenient for everything close to a lot of beaches, Walmart, fast foods and restaurants and the breakfast part even that we don't eat there was very nice. Very super clean and friendly staff. However you can hear everything a lot of noises in the evening from others staying there. Very small trash can just one. No even a small tv. We used the same towels the whole stay. No iron for the clothes. No much illumination for my wife make-up. And the pin from inside doesn't work I have to jump the fence to opening from outside in order to get out from there the last day.

Ok for solo travelers, too tiny for a couple, space not well distributed. Example; you have plenty of chairs and tables in the outside and balcony why have more in the room being so tiny. I recommend an inchannel door for the bathroom. Toilet with no room to sit and stretch your right leg. Wasnt cleaned properly with dirty glass and spider webs. You can get rid of the small fridge, not needed since you have 24hr kitchen in the downstairs.

This is an amazing property for families with teens! The guesthouse has 3 separate units that allowed kids to have their own rooms. The outdoor covered patio was perfect for gathering, meals, and listening to the coqui frogs in the evening. The main unit has a full kitchen and a bonus indoor hammock! The guesthouse is secluded from the rest of the units and has a private gated entrance. The property is in a quiet area yet close to beaches and other attractions. I would definitely recommend!

Room service is only available at additional cost during the stay, regardless how long you stay there. The weather is humid so not having free room service is really not ideal.

All potential visitors should read about Mata on their website- it is not your everyday hotel. The rooms are (nicely) converted shipping containers as shown. They are smaller than your average hotel room. Great for sleeping and showering.
The breakfast area/ room offers morning cereal, toast, waffles juices and coffee. It is self -serve. The coffee machine offers many coffee types as well as hot chocolate.
It was delicious- above average.
Note- this is self check-in and departure. Communication is by email. The property is gated.
The grounds offer numerous sitting areas, many shaded. They are well maintained. The pool area is pleasant and has seating as well as shaded hammocks.

The staff was great. Whenever you needed anything they were on it. The room is small so for those that enjoy tiny living...this is great. We may go for the suite next time. The grounds we kept nice and clean at all times. The staff cleans the chairs and hammocks daily for the guest to sit and enjoy. The neighbors have chickens and dogs. The sound of the coqui was awesome. We loved it. The Luquillo beach is only 10 mins from the guesthouse. There are plenty of great places to eat in the local area. Luquillo was only 30-40 mins from San Juan. It was nice to get away from the hustle of San Juan. There is also no tv in the room, so bring a tablet for your favorite shows.

Here is a more professional and polished version of your review:
Upon arrival, I was disappointed to find that the room was significantly smaller than depicted in the property’s photographs, which appeared misleading. The bathroom was not clean upon check-in; it contained visible pubic hair on the floor, along with discarded wrappers and containers from previous guests’ personal items.
When I promptly reported these issues to management, it took approximately 24 hours to receive a response. They initially assured me the room had been cleaned and was ready for use. However, upon returning later that evening, I found the bathroom in the exact same unclean condition as before. Management later acknowledged that they had received inaccurate information from staff regarding the cleaning status.
The matter was eventually addressed, and as a gesture of apology, the property offered a six-pack of local beer and a small bouquet of flowers picked from the grounds. While I appreciate the effort to make amends, the overall experience fell short of acceptable standards.
The water pressure in the shower was extremely low—comparable to a trickle—making it difficult to use effectively. That said, the grounds are attractive and well-maintained, and the location is convenient for exploring the nearby rainforest.
I would only consider this property suitable for a very brief one-night stay when the primary purpose is to visit the surrounding natural attractions. I would not recommend it for long

Fun, pretty place. Nicely decorated. Because it's made out of shipping containers the rooms are a bit snug. Breakfast offerings are basic. Worked well for an overnight in transit. Not sure how it would work for a longer stay but it's fun.

Overall a nice place to stay. The room and facilities are clean and well maintained. Be aware that the rooms are storage containers so they are tiny (may be better for 1 person or 2 smaller people), not well ventilated (the sheets and all of our clothing was slightly damp the whole time), and not well insulated so you can here other guests if they are loud. If you are not looking for all the frills and just want a nice clean space to sleep so you can explore the island and local beaches, then this is a fairly good choice.

The staff on the grounds are incredibly warm and friendly. Yes the rooms are small (be sure you are comfortable with you’re comfortable with your friend/partner), but it is built on an ecologically friendly model from containers and locally owned. There are some issues with humidity as its located in/next to the rainforest, but that’s to be expected

Grounds were beautiful. Guests should know this is an extremely small room. Too small for our taste. If you have more than one suit case you will be cramped. Room was humid, muggy, and musty. Ac helped but has too get real cold to get moisture out of air. Breakfast is limited too fruit, toast, and waffles.

We believe it would benefit you to have a little variety for your breakfast. Would also suggest you have a small shelf area in the breakfast room where you put towels so people can swap them out every few days. The shower in Unit six has water coming out of the drain so it doesn't all come out the shower head. The water was never very hot but it was warm. Even with these issues we would stay there again because the staff was so nice.

Continental breakfast was so convenient, water bottles, fruit, cheese, small snacks, coffee was delicious! Location was ideal close to everything, but tucked into the side of a mountain! Views were spectacular!! Will be back for sure!!

I highly recommend staying at this place if you would like to submerge yourself in the sounds of the jungle! The bedroom I rented was petite, but was efficiently built and thought out to make the most out of the space. It had a balcony with a gorgeous view of the forest. The bed was comfortable and the room had a mini fridge.

The pool and lounging areas were neat and comfortable.

The breakfast room featured a self-serve breakfast and snacks throughout the day, which was convenient, but if you are looking for a nutritious and delicious breakfast you will need to eat out.

The staff was prompt with their responses when I contacted them through WhatsApp. Even their welcome message thoroughly had all the information we needed to access the property.

The room was in great condition and it is good if you just plan on sleeping and showering there. It was smaller than expected. When you walk in it’s just a bed in the middle of the room and a bathroom to the left. Super small shower. The breakfast was just crackers and peanut butter jelly sandwiches. Didn’t even use the pool, felt a little deceived by the advertisement. Overall it was a peaceful experience and great if you don’t plan on using the amenities.

Delightful stay at Mata e' Platano Guesthouse in Luquillo, Puerto Rico! 🌴🏠 My compact, cozy shipping container room was charming, and the property's immaculate condition made me feel like I had the tranquil retreat all to myself. Breakfast (6am-10am) covered the essentials, and I happily fueled up with their convenient morning coffee machine – iced coffee on demand, yes please! ☕️ Snacks and water were available all day, adding to the comfort. A perfect escape from city hustle, ideal for introverts seeking peace. Pro tip: Uber to the ferry ($4) for a fantastic day trip to Vieques or Culebra. The under-construction suite looks stunning – I’m excited to plan a romantic getaway here with my significant other soon! Highly recommend for a serene, efficient, and cozy stay. ⭐️🌟
