    Staff had to open and unlock the gate manually for you every time you wanted to leave/come in. I felt a bit bad coming and going all the time.

    So close to the beach, it was great! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious too.

    Nothing. Will definitely come back.

    Loved this hostel. It’s more like a shared home than a hostel. Lovely, friendly diverse cosmopolitan people - both the staff/volunteers and the guests, nice spaces and rooms and super queer-friendly! Definitely a social place without being a “party hostel”.

    It's an old house located in a great spot super close to Porto da Barra. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is also good. I stayed there 3 times during the last years and it's been always nice!

    One of the rooms gets very hot at night. Our fan broke, but luckily was quickly replaced.

    The location, the safety, the people, the diverse breakfast made me not mind staying for almost a week.

    There were no “real” windows in our room, but since we spent most of our time outside it didn’t bother us too much. There was not any hand soap in the bathroom.

    Great location - very close to the beach and all the restaurants. You feel safe in this area. The personnel is very nice and helpful. Very good breakfast.

    Breakfast should just be included and the price per night raised to reflect this. I didn’t book a room that included breakfast so it felt a little awkward in the morning when I went up to make my own breakfast and a buffet was laid out, with staff cooking. I didn’t feel like I could be there, so just something to consider.

    It was a very pretty old house that had been converted into rooms. It had a nice big kitchen on the top floor and the whole place was clean. Also the staff were very friendly and let me check in a little early after waiting because the room was ready which was nice after a long bus journey.

    The bathroom was shared by many people, so I had to wait sometimes. But it was clean.

    Everything was good, it was clean, safe, the breakfast was nice and quiet at night. The location was excellent and the building is beautiful.

    - Kitchen missed oil and good knifes. - There were a lot of rules about which bathrooms we were allowed to use. There was only one bathroom in the shared dorm that was always occupied and we were told not allowed to use other bathrooms. - WiFi wasn't great.

    -We arrived very early, although in the beginning there was no one to open the hostel, we fixed this with the owner and they were very friendly and professional and gave us a small discount. - Friendly staff, - Good breakfast. - Great location You have to wear masks inside all the common rooms/kitchens.

    The bathroom weren’t so nice,and not always clean and the bed was uncomfortable. The mattress was too thin so when you were laying down you could feel the wood underneath. And that you were allowed to use the air conditioner only in the night until 9am and sometimes it was very warm

    Very close to the beach, and restaurants, staff very nice and good breakfast for the value

    The people there are not welcoming at all. When I arrived at the place I felt as if I had come to them against their will. During the day they shout and get angry at each other and the employees. It's not really clear how a place like this gets a score above 9. I had to be around, and this is the hostel that was the closest and highly rated. Unfortunately I found myself in a place with strange people. I slept in where there volunteers sleeping, together with the volunteers and local workers. Unfortunately there was a horrible weird volunteer of theirs , who when he was alone with me closed the door, bothering me. I won't say how. Superestimado, lugar terrível com vibrações de pessoas zangadas, sem atmosfera. They don't speak English there at all. The place is on a main road with traffic and construction noises. The only normal people there were - 1 Brazilian women volunteer, and a guy from Argentina.

    the airconditioning was switched off every day between 9 AM- 9PM, that was unfortunate and not according to the information i had before booking. and it was very noisy at 6-7 AM when the personnel was making breakfast. our room was next to the dining area.

    the kingsize bed, it was comfortable. the room was spacious and the nice balcony.

    bizarre small things were missing that just made the quality of life worse for example: no soap tray in the shower, water just randomly stops working (also in the toilet), ac only after 9pm, kitchen in the room was comletely empty and didn't even have gas, no bulbs in the bedside lamps, trash was full when we checked into the room. Nothing too bad just a bit irritating for the price.

    the house was cute and most of the staff very friendly
