Best thing about this hostel is the staff. They all work hard and are super friendly to the guests. Breakfast and the evening meal were very good. The effort made to entertain guests with yoga and other daily activities was much appreciated 👍

One of the best hostels where I ever stayed, great structure with lots of nature, free activities every day and yoga, but the best part is the staff and the owner, very kind and motivated people

One of my favourite hostels ever, I wanted to stay for three nights but ended up staying for two weeks. The volunteers are amazing and really put thought and effort into the activities and the meals. The atmosphere was super open and positive and I met a bunch of great people there. Amazing hostel, not just for the R$5 caipirinhas.

The kitchen could do with a cleaning. The bottom of the glass cabinet was black with dirt. I found living insects in multiple pans. Also the freezer was dirty. You had to be fast some mornings to have good breakfast. Sometimes you did not get full with the dinner.

The atmosphere is incredible. I will definitely come back. Loved the daily activities. People were very social. When I got sick the day I was leaving the hostel, sweet Nicolas went with me to the hospital. So incredible nice staff. Loved it.

I arrived in the evening and everyone was sitting around a long table playing games to get to know one another. I felt very welcomed and instantly booked 2 more nights there.

nothing - close to perfection

Probably one of the best - and most unusual - hostels I`ve ever stayed in. Many things about this hostel are special - the location (coastal forest), the vibe, the staff, the things on offer (Yoga class, Salsa lessons...). Staff was very helpful, the food (breakfast and diner) was really good and the location is within walking distance from the beach. Even though, it is so cozy that you just want to stay ;-) However, there is one thing that you should be aware of: as the hostel is in a forest, there are lots of moskitos - so be prepared and bring repellent.

It was a bit of a walk to the center of town and to the beaches.

The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The common dinner was a great opportunity to meet people and it was always delicious.

It’t hard to describe with words how this place makes you feel. It is not only the best hostel you can possibly find in the world, but also a place you can call home, with people you called family. You just feel happy all the time. The dinner is always prepared with so much care, you feel involved in the community, there are yoga classes and football matches and so much entertainment, you almost feel you don’t need to visit anything. I was remote working in the hostel for a few days and the conditions are great, you have a coworking space, good internet and privacy if needed. Afi, the owner, will guarantee you have everything you need so that it works out the best way for you. Everyone should come to this hostel one day, you’ll be amazed how this place can change you. I will definitely be back one day. Wish you all the best

It has a somewhat unpleasant amount of mosquitoes but that's a side effect of being surrounded by nature

The people working there are the best. They keep the good ambience with their attitude and the activities they set up for guests and they prepare the best meals.

I spent two amazing weeks at Lagarto na Banana, and the place couldn't be better. The owner Afi is a great person who is always caring about his guest. They do activities and yoga classes every day to make sure we feel as we were at home.. The atmosphere there is magical, you feel happy all the time, everybody is so kind and funny especially the volunteers, who prepares dinner for us with so much love that i can't explain with words. I just feel gratitude for being part of that family for a while. I wish you the best and I'll be back one day. 100% recommended.

There is nothing I didn’t like about the hostel, but if you aren’t more into a camping style kind of hostel this place may not be for you.

Honestly the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at in my life! there are no words to describe the way I’ve transformed since being here & spending time with everyone at Lagarto. This is unlike your normal hostel, it is so much more & it has become an incredibly spiritual place for me that feels like home. I have been here for over 2.5 months & the thought of leaving makes me so sad. You will find a second family here! I truly can’t recommend staying here enough!

The breakfast was nice but repetitive ( i stayed more than a week, it can be boring sometimes).

This kind of hostel is very rare. I really like the sense of community, the great activities, the vegetarian food and last but not least : the staff !! I will go back one day ;)

The bedrooms could be a bit cleaner, a lot of humidity could be taken out by improving the water evacuation from the bathroom :)

Lagarto is the most special hostel I have ever been to. The staff is fully involved, always happy to help and propose any kind of activities. The diner every night is cheap, good, and the atmosphere is incredible. Every day there is one activity, from football to communication exercices, from drinking games to culture sharing. I have made some amazing friends and it is all thanks to the hostal atmosphere and staff! Ideal for travelers who want to make friends, party, surf, yoga, chill.

Lagarto is a hostel that once you enter, it immediately becomes a warm and loving home. The hostel is located in the forest, which gives it a unique character and an opportunity to connect with nature. It has everything you will need for a vacation or a long stay (recommended). The nicest staff I have met, always making sure everything is fine and the atmosphere is good. At the hostel you have all the options to stop the intense life and concentrate on yourself and a new community, whether in learning to go on a slake line or in evening activities. Every morning opens with a yoga class and immediately followed by an amazing breakfast. Recommends everyone to come visit and become part of the family :)

amazing place !!! friendly… you get to get involved with all the passengers.

The worst is the access as long as it takes some time on foot to be in center town. And driving is not that good too cause the street is so narrow and with bad paviment.

The energy of people makes the real value of this place! If you are not that connected to things and want to focus on the experience of being in a multicultural environment this is the place to go! I'd love be more time and I hope be back soon!

very social and magical place!

Distance to the centre is a bit far but deffenitely worth the nature/jungle vibe.

Great vibes, simple accomodation but creative. Great service from the staff, daily activities and community dinner with every day 40-60 people. A great social hostel perfect for real backpackers or other social travellers. They really made sure I was comfortable as possible. The volunteers are also a great addition to the hostel❤ and what about the monkeys who pick up a banana every morning. My god!

The cleaning is not the best, there is no security on the rooms and the location is not either that good.

The staff is amazing! Everyone concerned about you having fun and being comfortable. The place is beautiful and the vibe on the hostel is amazing. It's a very good place to meet new people.

One of the hostels with the best atmosphere in which I’ve ever stayed. Outstanding staff, great accommodations, amazing activities and there is veggie dinner every night for 15 reais. After the end of your stay, you’ll feel as part of a family and forever you’ll have a place to welcome you home in Pipa.

The best hostel I have stayed so far. Great vibes! They do activities for people to meet each other and as a solo traveler it's something to definitely thank for. 😊 100% recommend!!
