Best hostel. Do yourself a favour and book here. Been to alot of hostels (100+) and this place really understands what a hostel should and can be. Highly recommend. Beds = Heaven on earth, super comfortable. Space = Big dorm room, space for everyone's stuff. Hostel has alot of common spaces, so you can find your spot or socialise. Also dorm room is not hot at all, easy to sleep. Bathroom/Kitchen = SUPER clean and comfortable. Very clean !!! Location= Great, 5min from one beach, with all other beaches close enough to walk. Main town 10min walk, lots of local shops for food and water very close . Pool and hammock = Great for relax days at hostel. Vibe and Staff - Great, option to socialise or take it easy. Massive thank you to Julsi for her peaceful vibe and helpful person. Also staff speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

    Great localisation - Prainha beach is 5 minutes away, the town 10. We were usually able to return on foot even from more distant on foot due to low uber availability in town around 5/6 PM. Nice vibe of the neighbourhood - mix of tourist and local life, still felt safe. The host and and their staff we're extremely caring and helpful and did their best to address some inconveniences we raised, in a timely manner. Apartament is spacious clean and pretty pleasant visually. Good restaurant across the street.
