Glorious boutique hotel. One of the nicest places we have stayed. We tried two sizes of room over a week. Both super cool with a record player and private balcony. They bring breakfast to your room. It’s good, not great, but having it in your own space is lovely. The pool area is the heart of the complex and very pleasant. More...

The Boon Hotel is a lovely oasis just outside of downtown Guerneville. The rooms are set around a lovely small pool with comfortable lounge chairs on all sides. On Saturday and Sunday morning, they had free yoga classes by the pool. We had already booked massages and wine tasting, but we could have been happy just sitting by the pool or in the hot tub, as it cooled off later in the day.||||I think it can be a little noisy at night particularly when it is warmer and people want to keep the sliding glass doors open. Because the place has such a comfortable vibe, I think people can feel like talking into the evening. We had a problem with a noisy neighbor but Russ, the morning manager, dealt with it very quickly and professionally and the next night was great.||||We thought the breakfasts, that are delivered right to our room, were great. They included tea and coffee, as well as fresh orange juice. I was also really happy with my massage, thanks to my massage therapist Terrie. Our room had a fireplace which we used one evening when it cooled down. They also offer bicycles to use. They are very close to Armstrong Redwoods state preserve if you want to go for a shaded hike.||||We had fun dinners at Boon eat & drink and at El Barrio. We also had a quick good lunch at Big Bottom Market.||||So it was an excellent and relaxing weekend treat at Booh Hotel. More...

My 2 friends and I booked 3 nights at the king suite, upgrading a Travelzoo offer. Our needs are simple do the hotel more than fulfilled them. Check-in time is 3 pm, but we arrived at round noon and were allowed early into our room. The hotel seemed empty, because it was so quiet, but we learned that it was actually full. The only time we saw other guests was at the hot tub at night.|The room was spacious, clean, minimally furnished with upscale, modern furnishings. It is obvious great attempt is made to anticipate needs, from umbrellas, books, comfy robes, fireplace and logs, Malin Goetz body products (adore the bergamot body wash!) to those lovely soft sheets. The mini fridge was well-stocked. Although we brought and bought a lot of wine and didn’t partake of the honor bar by the pool, we were impressed by how it contained something for everyone.|Bring at Reception was so polite and helpful, giving us a tour of the property and giving suggestions for winery visits and dining options.|Breakfast, brought to the room on a silver tray, was simple. |My only criticism, and it’s a small one, is that the lighting was quite poor.|It was an expensive stay despite he Travelzoo offer, over $350 a night.

It feels like a cross between a Bed & Breakfast and a bungalow type hotel. Super quiet! Solid value.We live in the neighboring town and merely wanted a getaway from the kids and home life, a way to step off the roller coaster for a night. Even though Boon is right next to the spectacular Armstrong Woods, we didn’t have any desire to venture out, especially since we are locals and regularly experience the breathtaking west Sonoma county scenery. We we arrived at Boon for our midweek stay, the very personable concierge made us feel super welcomed and showed us around our room and the premises.There are 2 or three units per building. Several of these buildings encircle the pool area, which includes a deluxe honor-system refreshment bar (coconut water, beer, wine, etc). Towels and robes are supplied as well.Our room was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly matched the rate. I would call the decor modern and sparse. The bed was MEGA comfortable and cozy with luxurious white linens. A Swiss fireplace gave a nice feeling during our visit which was under 24 hours of insane rain downpour. The fireplace used pressed logs that light with a single match. To further set the mood, the room had a replica vintage record player that was both novel and nostalgic for us. There were several LP vinyl records on a shelf to choose from. Instantly, we put on Eric Lindell’s “West County Drifter” album. It’s alternative folk with songs set in the local area and it really felt great hearing that music while relaxing in the exact same region. It felt especially atmospheric coming over the speakers of the vinyl record player.The spa, sitting right next to the pool, is concrete and typical of a built in a pool/spa. The temperature was perfect, maybe around 102 degrees. It felt amazing sitting there in the rain with the smell of the redwoods. The water was crystal clear.There is no TV in the room, so I suggest bringing the laptop as we did for Netflix or whatever you are streaming. We tried to watch Orson Welles’ last film “The Other Side of The Wind” but it was too much of an acid trip to actually sit through, so we quickly switched to the film “Afternoon Delight” starring Kathryn Hahn, Josh Radnor, & Juno Temple. It is a pretty compelling storyline with great characters and we give it a thumbs up. Of course, Boon has nothing to do with the movies, but my point is that Boon provided super strong wifi that allowed us to easily change our streaming choices without a buffering nightmare. But yeah, Kathryn Hahn’s character is pretty out there!The bathroom has a really appealing selection of hair and soap products in pump bottles, all have great, healthy fragrances.There is a simple, very private patio out one of the doors. It was pouring rain, so we didn’t use it, but it looks like an awesome place for a French cocktail and a good conversation. It has walls on all four sides for those who need… ahem…. extra privacy.When we checked in, we were asked what time the next morning we wanted our (included) breakfast delivered. We said 8:30, and by golly at exactly 8:30 the next day it was delivered with warm salutations. The breakfast was much, much better than I had expected. Sometimes those “breakfasts” are a Costco muffin and a slice of melon. But the Boon breakfast was awesome. It looked absolutely beautiful on the platter an included: A tall pot of French Press coffee with porcelain mugs, a lovely greek yogurt with fruit, and a super melt-in-your mouth biscuit with butter and jam. The butter was room temperature so it spread nicely!!! Overall, the breakfast presentation was really classy.At the end of our stay, we felt immensely rejuvenated due to the quiet escape and comfort provided by Boon. A+ Rating. A great stay in one of the most beautiful regions of the world. More...

What a wonderful place to stay! I made boon my home-away-from-home while I spent a few days exploring Sonoma County, and it was a delight to wake up to warm biscuits brought directly to my cozy garden-view room and then fall asleep at night with candles glimmering outside my front door. The staff were warm and happy to help with any need, and the adults-only policy means noise stays to a minimum. I loved the poolside honor bar (and the pool too of course!), the beautiful grounds and on-site chickens, the orange bikes available for a quick jaunt into town. Guerneville itself is welcoming too, with a main drag lined with delicious restaurants and fun bars, and from there you have easy access to the beauty of the rugged coast in one direction or the Dry Creek wineries in the other. And the hotel itself is literally just down the road from Armstrong Woods for your ancient redwoods fix. Thank you, boon, I can't wait to go back! More...

We loved this place! Admittedly we went mid-week in March so it was pretty quiet. I really liked their attitude toward preserving and updating the original buildings and rooms. We had room 7 which might be the best room in the place.

Nice mix of gay, lesbian and straight couples.||||One caveat: The walls are thin, you can hear even quiet voices from the adjacent room.

We have been regulars visiting our 4th time. Every time we also go dinner at Boon Eat & Drink and to El Barrio bar. Unbelievably tasteful with character and love. Get one of the bigger rooms poolside. The crowd is usually LGBTQ friendly with slight bias on the 'L' but generally mixed. They have fun bikes you can take for free to ride into town or towards Armstrong Redwoods. I'd describe the hotel as tasteful cottage family style, lots of manual thought. This comes with the only downside, do not expect a flawless American chain hotel with drilled staff, because the price may suggest so. We had our own encounter during our 4th stay with one of the staff literally going erratic at night yelling at me for putting a second log into the fireplace too early. There have been huge fires in the area not very long ago, so this may be excusable, but be mindful of a slightly less professional environment and don't expect a St. Regis Redwood edition. Overall their staff is great (staff with British accent "I just love people"), Guerneville generally is very relaxed and it's a must go to destination for San Franciso residents. There are plenty of options of spending meaningful time in the area. More...

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night in one of the glamping tents. We were so excited by the pictures, and when we got there it was even better! It's rare to find a place that has put so much thought and attention into every detail. Our tent was clean and really cozy (we shared a bottle of local bubbles too!) Later on we went for a peaceful swim and hot tub (there is a stocked bar where you can mix your own drinks by the pool!) Best part was in the morning they brought us breakfast to the tent (and it was actually good coffee, warm baked cake and yogurt and granola!) They also provide bikes if you want to take a bike ride around the beautiful area. We are 2 chefs from Canada, and just really appreciated all the efforts that went into this place!
