    Great location on the main street (Rua Pedro Longo), excellent breakfast, good vibe and friendly staff. Was easy to meet people as a solo traveler. I enjoyed the lounge downstairs outside the reception and upstairs outside the bar that looked out onto the main street. Everything seemed to work well. I stayed in a private room with private bathroom that was very comfortable.

    One of the best hostels in Itacaré, if not the best

    WiFi was very patchy, but it may not be the hostel's fault (it seems the whole city had connection problems when I visited).

    I spent two weeks there. Perfect location, lots of common areas to chill, socialize or work from. Fantastic breakfast. Large lockers. Great kitchen with everything you need. More than anything I really enjoyed spending time with the staff, from Nico (the most humble and kind manager you'll ever meet), to lovely Andrea, or Grazziano (always friendly and fun to be around and talk to), and others. A big OBRIGADO to all of you guys, I miss you all! Fantastic hostel, although I suspect it must be very loud and crazy in the high season, so be careful when you visit if you like it quiet!

    The air conditioner unit was not clean and it got all of the people in my room sick. We told staff and they ignored it. The bathroom was extremely dirty. The staff manager was extremely Rude and unhelpful I wouldn’t stay here again.

    The breakfast was good and the volunteers were friendly. The staff was very rude though.

    Great breakfast, budget-friendly, but disappointing rooms

    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    My main concerns were with the beds and the room layout. In my opinion, there were too many beds crammed into such a small space, and the absence of curtains was a drawback. The room I stayed in on the first level was consistently humid with inadequate ventilation, making it feel quite dark and stuffy due to the absence of windows.

    The breakfast at this hostel was amazing, and I especially appreciated the super-friendly staff, convenient location, and the cozy chill-out area next to the reception.

    The sockets don’t work!! which means you have to charge your phone by power bank or try your luck with the ones in the public areas

    The location on the main road is very convenient because you’re surrounded by everything but that also means there will be noise pretty much the whole night

    Was unnecessarily expensive. The room is small, WiFi was really bad and wasn't working in the room, and there was one crew member with so much attitude like chill what do u want

    The best location in Itacaré, nice breakfast, and cute cat.

    They dont have AC in the rooms, it’s just a kind of a fan. The door and Windows dont fit good so it’s usual to find lizards inside the room. Breakfast is good only if you are the first arriving because they dont fill it up.

    The location is good. it’s in the heart of the village. The receptionists were nice.

    Bed was rock hard. Room definitely could use an update. Totally overpriced - got much better accommodation at a much cheaper price on Fernando de Noronha even.

    Very loud in the rooms at night, not very clean (shared dorm rooms only cleaned every couple of days and bathrooms not cleaned properly just bath and paper changed), staff could be more helpful and welcoming.

    Brilliant location on the main street in Itacaré, and good consistent breakfast.

    A hell. Avoid this Hostel & district. Go to Barra Grande from Camamu by boat.

    Location: nightmare Staffs: not professional. Just arrived on the reception and the recepcionista was talking outside even seeing myself waiting for. The other was trying to explaing me about the air conditioning issues related with my bedroom. So, what I have to listen about their problems on my arrival. Bedrooms: a nightmare. 4 bunk beds in a tiny room with 1 sinking toilet. No option outside to be used as the layout is a disgrace. It can not be a great atmosphere for a paradise. Lookers: terrible. By wood. The doors don't slide properly and my locker could fit in the hole. Asked for a spare one they just sell it for more than 3€ instead of borrow it. Of course. It is all about money. City: Don't go to Itacare. Probably that was great a decade ago. It's so appealing. They think your a cash machine walking on the street. They are desperate about money. The prices are extremely expensive for the quality of the things. Air: stuff. Shower: dirty location and no care about windows or cleaning. Terrible facilities. Corridors : that's the Hostel just corridors to move through. Social area: if you need to work. Forget it. Terrible infrastructure for digital nomades Yoga people, etc. Che Lagarto platform: they don't chat to you just send robots messages. You ask one think they answer another one. Internet: it was enough as any other location. Energy: the vibes are not good in there. Beaches: far away. You need walk loads to get it through a road t reach that. In Barra Grande the beach is always near the accommodation. Like one minute walking. Decoration: ugly place. No Hostel atmosphere, at all. Disgraceful business. I hope Che Lagarto never croos my way again. Terrible mindset.

    Breakfast is outstanding. But, no seats enough at all. A tiny breakfast area for loads of room with 4 bunk bed in each room. I had no seat for myself. I use the wall to put my plates on. Location is a nightmare in the heart of a fashion mall. It's not Bahia, it's not even Brazil. It's a fake district that is so fake as a cinematographyc place. Fleed away from Itacaré. Go to Barra Grande taking a boat from CAMAMU. Nativus boat on Mondays, on Wednesdays, on Fridays and Saturdays at 12 pm.
