So good location! Amazing staff, we had a lot of questions and got good recommendations and answers! Staff were keeping everything organized and cleaned in the common areas actively. Special thanks for her who recommended chapada diamantina as the next destination as it became the highlight of our trip<3

Bed not very comfortable.

Great location, convenient and safe, very nice staff always telling you what was happening in Salvador each day, well equipped kitchen, nice rooftop terrace to meet other people in the hostel, great price for salvador

Facilities could use some updating, as well as the sheets.

Excellent staff, great common area. Wonderful hostel for meeting friends. Great area outside of the main tourist drag of the Pelourinho. I ended up extending my stay and stayed for almost 10 days here because I felt very comfortable. Probably my favorite hostel of my 10 week travel in Brasil.

Second time in Salvador and second time staying in Nega Maluca. It is in prime location with great staff and amenities. Staff can give great tips on what to do at night and where to visit during the day. I will definitely stay here again when in Salvador

Only tourists looking for sterile environment and sterile atmosphere could complain.

Charming, good location. Highly recommended!

That I had to leave so early:-(

Nega Maluca is the perfect place to meet other travellers and a good place from where you can discover the city. Diego had every day some recommendations on concerts or parties so it won’t get boring.

Great atmosphere, feels like home! People are nice, and personal is extremely helpful and friendly. And the location in the middle of the beautiful historial centre is awesome!

Great staff, atmosphere and location

Stayed in February 2024

The dorm rooms are a little worn down, for example the plug and light by my bed did not work

Diego is super kinda and is helpful to give lots of information and good recommendations for what to do/where to go/where not to go etc. the common areas were also nice and the wifi worked well and the location was perfect. They also clean the bathrooms every day so it was kept very clean. Overall I enjoyed my stay bc of the vibes (chill but familiar and social at the same time) and location and I felt safe there. I would stay again.

The staff is really nice, try to make your trip as smooth as they could ! The location is great and safe, if you are interested in the history of Salvador and the music of the city, you'll be well suit ! You'll miss something for sure if you pass through this city and don't stop at Nega Maluca Guest house !

Close to Pelourinho. The staff is very kind.

Stayed in May 2023

The hostel was pretty vacant when I visited, but it was admittedly in the off-season of tourism here in Salvador. I don’t have any qualms with the hostel itself. I will say, Pelourinho can be hit or miss to walk around at night, so keep your wits.

Excellent spot. Well-located on the edge of Pelourinho in Santo Antônio bairro. The Diego, Gustavo, and the rest of the staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Diego even gave some pretty niche things to visit and experience in the city. I won’t spoil those here though… better to visit and learn for yourself!

I really liked the common area at nega luca, good mix of indoor and outdoor space and was easy to meet other travelers.

It’s an old house and so is the interior. For more comfort some things could be renewed

Very central location and very helpful stuff! I met some nice people there and had a good time. Thank you for having me :)

This guesthouse reflects the spirit of Salvador. I was impressed with the size of the room we stayed in. Diego was very helpful letting us know where to go and the events happening in the city while we were there. We loved the city and the people we’ve met along the way, and this was possible because we stayed at Nega Maluca Guesthouse. I want to go back to Salvador some day and I hope I can stay there again.

Staff amazing and terrace with relaxing atmosphere and beautiful view

Stayed in April 2022

Could be more clean, so if you care a lot about that, its maybe not for you. For me it was not a problem:D

It was a cool place with a lot of music, good conversations and fun people. Would really recommend solo travelers to choose this hostel, as I got so many new friends during my stay. The staff is so helpful and nice and I felt really at home.

There's nothing I didn't like.

This is the best hostel experience I have had in 14 years of travelling. I ended up staying around two weeks here in the end. The staff are very kind. It's not just that they helped me with everything I needed to do in Salvador, but they really treated me as a friend, invited me out etc. Everything is clean and well organised. Good kitchen facilities. The lounge area in the terrace is a major asset. The vibe is very relaxed and the location is great. I will definitely be back.
