Awful experience. Run.
We got to the Hotel (looks like a horror-movie farm, not a hotel) only to see tents and mobile homes around the facility. The drunk receptionist explained that our apartment was 500 meters away and that someone would guide us to it....off we went. When we got to the "apartment" it was the prototypical description of a "ghetto". About 6 semi-naked male immigrants (all drunk) gave us a warm welcome, telling us they were ready to share some alcohol with us...specially with the ladies of our group. They immediately came to inspect our belongings with a really nasty look in their faces...we feared the worst. I looked at the person in charge of the "apartment" and whispered: would you really bring your family here? She simply said: "no". We run out of the place with fear. They returned the money, that's the only positive. PLEASE don't come here, it is really dangerous. I cannot understand why this place was ever advertised in Expedia. Again, this is not a Hotel, but a place for people that have been rescued from the streets...You've been warned.

Got what we paid for.
Very remote location and difficult to find, even after reading other reviews that said the same thing and being prepared for it I was surprised. Check in was in one building then was had to drive to another location to find the room. No contact available with staff without driving back over to check in. very hot in room with no fans or air. Wifi worked and apartment was spacious. Price was good and during the right time of year I would stay here again since we only used it as a launching point to go into Venice and did not need any local services.

Nice stay
We arrived late, and this was the first time we didn't call ahead (of course). I think we woke them up! They showed us to our room and all was fine. The signs didn't say Rainbow Garden, they said Eco garden or similar. They were friendly but not a lot of English. It was a nice, quiet area, like a farm area almost. We had a place to park and he room was lovely.

You get what you pay for!
This is a little family farm guesthouse business , (this is not a hotel) All I was looking for was a place to sleep for two nights so I could go in to Venice(about 20mins bus ride) Few things to think about before you book here. 1. Must have a car to get there or walk about 2km from the bus stop. 2. Have a GPS to find the place. I think I would not have been able to find it otherwise. 3. You will not be getting room service but again it is only a cheap place to sleep. Pro's It did have a pool but my room was a few hundred meters away. the staff was very friendly and tried there best to inform you of things to do and how to get about the area. They even have a printed guide for you to take that was very helpful. We had an apartment for 6 people it was reasonably clean, sheets on bed were clean, it had a TV but did not work. full kitchen if you what to cook your self. I would recommend the pizzeria about 2-3km away great food and if you ask the staff about it first they might give you a coupon. we got a 15% off our bill Not bad. All in all you are paying about 20 euros a person per night and what you get is your moneys worth. this is nothing fancy but it did the job and saved me a lot of money renting a place in Venice. Plus no parking fee.

Great place to escape touristy parts of Venice
It was so nice to escape the city for a bit and spend time on this eclectic bio farm! Our room was clean and comfortable, and there was a kitchen we could use. It was also very easy to get to Venice, as there were free bikes we could use or Maurizio drove us to the bus stop. They were so welcoming and went out of their way to teach us the history of Venice and welcome us in. He even drove us to some Roman ruins on our way to the airport! We will definitely be coming back!

Great apartment
We booked an apartment which was situated a few hundred metres from the Rainbow Garden. This wasn't a problem for us as it was quieter, but could be a problem if you are planning to use the swimming pool (fairly small) at all. The apartment was spacious with equipped kitchen and a washing machine (saved several trips to a laundrette). It is situated 1200m (3/4 mile) from the road through Zelarino where you can get a bus to Venice (1.30 euro per trip).

quiet and convenient
We were not sure what to expect with this accommodation. we booked it because of the price to stay in venice and were VERY HAPPY with our choice. we even concluded we preferred it to staying in the city. The staff had a wonderful printout in english for us with an explination of how to get the bus into venice centre and also on how to get back to the hotel later. We arrived and were told all the rooms were booked so we were given a huge 3 bedroom apartment all to ourselves. We had (a temperamental) laundry machine in the bathroom which was great as wee were 10 days into our trip and 10 days form the end of it! We found the bus system and the proximity to a large grocery store a great convenience and made good use of our fully equipped kitchen and dinning room. It was nice to be able to get OUT of the hussle bussle of downtown to this quiet retriete. Arriving we were a little worried as it seemed way out in the bush to us. But we ended up being very glad which our choice and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Not in MESTRE, it is in Zelarino - Great location!
Everything is GREAT! just difficult to find, if you have a GPS, look for Zelarino, not Mestre! The staff of the Hotel is GREAT and they will help you for sure! The best reference to find the hotel is the "Polo" Supermarket that is like 5 minutes from the hotel, there you can call the hotel and they will go to pick you up! For going to Venice you just go back to Polo supermarket, park your car there (for free) and take the bus and you will be super easy and fast in Venice... Remember look for the address in ZELARINO, not in Mestre!

Eco farm
Ikke et hotel, men lejlighed. Lå 1 km fra reception. Stor lejlighed med køkken og opdelte værelser. OK senge, men ikke rent. Venligt personale. "Eco-garden" eller "Eco-farm" passer nok godt til beskrivelsen - med tanke på at der også var campingplads tilknyttet. OK value-for-money. Venligt personale og de lavede en OK morgenmad til os. 5 euro pr. pers. Vi tog det som en anderledes oplevelse.
