    The bunks have 3 “floors” and literally being in the top one I was scared to fall off in my sleep. Also no sockets by the bed as it wasn’t against any wall and even if you charge somewhere in the common spaces during the day the plugs are 110v so super slow and for work it was really an issue.

    Good location only 5-10 minutes to the beach

    The washroom could be cleaner, once a day they were super clean, but then it easyly got dirty, cause of too many guests. It wasnt a problem, but a detail to improve

    The Atmosfere of the hostel is amazing, the staff is incredible, very helpfull and very welcoming. It's very close to the beach but not at the beach wich was very good, and there are lots of stores and supermarkets around.

    Some of my belongings simply vanished (i.e. clothes and towels), so I would recommend keeping an eye on what you leave in the shared areas of the property. Not much was made by the staff to resolve the problem - which was recurring.

    The place is wonderful and the people I met there were extremely pleasant to be around!

    This hostel is an oasis. So quickly, I felt at home and comfortable around lovely people. My 5 day stay turned into a month with ease and joy. The staff and owners are genuine, great people and the hostel itself is beautiful. Its easy to socialize or find space to be alone. Highly recommend it.

    I really appreciated this place ! Mostly because the staff is great, super friendly and welcoming. The hostel itself is beautiful and ultra convenient. Location is perfect, 5 min walking distance for anything you might need : food, drink, bank, and of course the beach ... I recommend this place 100%

    Small improvements can make a big difference in the private rooms. Pillows were next to useless and felt like a handful of golf balls dropped into a pillow case, so we used our travel ones is instead. If you’re not looking to socialise I’d recommend staying in an airport hotel or close to the port.

    Great priced hostel for a one night stay before taking a ferry out the islands. Communal atmosphere with shared kitchen and a lovely living room come outdoor dining. Basic rooms to be expected.

    They don't provide towels. You should take yours.

    That's a family property. It's a mansion from decades ago. So, you will feel yourself in a kind of art galery or museum. Great location. It's a special energy where everyone becomes friends. I loved everything. 🙏 ♥

    The bunk beds. I won the lottery and had the middle berth (of 3 horizontally above each other) and there was no good way to enter the bed. The ladder is placed right in the middle of the short side and there's no space left for a person to enter. Also, with such high ceilings the beds might have been taller so one could actually sit up in bed. Also, my bed and around was the only place without any wifi connection. Wifi that I could catch outside of the hostel on the street but not in the room.

    The staff was very nice, it was kept clean, I liked the charisma of the house, the outdoor area.

    Not many English speakers, actually only one of the staff spoke some English. I extended my stay with two nights and paid in cash, but after realizing that the place was almost empty and that no one really speaks English I decided to leave a day early. I was promised a refund through bank transfer but after two days I didn't see any refund so I contacted them again. Also it was a bit strange that the amount was taken down 33% due to taxes, bank fees etc. But ok. After reaching. Them again, now the story was that I can't get the refund through bank transfer and that I need to have Pix or come get it in person. But as I'm a solo traveller without Brazilian ID etc. I can't ofc receive in Pix and can't travel 24hours+ to pick it up. Of course they understand that since I'm not brazilian I also won't have a Brazilian bank account. That's why I asked to have the cash back before I left since that was my original form of payment. That's how these things normally work. Very unprofessional and so I can't recommend this place unfortunately.

    Location.

    The bathrooms didn't feel clean. For the amount of people using the facility it should be cleaned 3 times more often. I also like to have secure lockers in the rooms and there were none in mine.

    Friendly house in the lovely Barra neighborhood. Staying here you will be trading the modern functional hostel for a more family owned relaxed hostel
