Real good place to stay if you travel alone, location is perfect, the tours offered at the front desk are well priced and a great way to meet other guests. I think the place looked nicer than on the picture and the rooms are confortable

The doors are not very well sound proof

I loved the communal area: pool table, nice seating and hammocks and even a small pool! Nice artwork on the walk and just a really cool ambience. Really great music player all day over the speakers also created a lovely atmosphere. Met some great people staying here. Comfortable beds!

One combined shower/ bathroom/toilet for around 10 girls meant there was often a queue for a shower or to use the toilet in the morning/evenings. It would be great if there was a separate toilet/shower to save having to go downstairs to use the loo at busy times.

The private room was okay, but a bit small. Common areas were nice excluding the kitchen. The pool was nice and the pool table too, but cost 1 real per game. The bar was great with beer and cocktails. The breakfast was good, but a bit pricey. The staff and location were great.

The kitchen was way toi small for the place. Only two hot plate and no oven. Kitchen utensils were limited. Maxmium two people could fit in the kitchen at the same time. The AC in the room was quite old and very noisy, bring your ear plugs if you are light sleeper.

Pros: - Breakfast was great, and pretty affordable (if it's not already included with your room). Includes fruit, eggs, sausage, cereal, yogurt, coffee, and more. - Nice common space with hammocks, a small pool, and plenty of seating place. Good facilities like a pool table, book exchange, etc. - The staff was absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful! They really make you feel welcome right away, and are always available to provide information or suggestions for things to do. I highly recommend doing the free walking tour (as with every walking tour, make sure to tip the guide after it's done) Neutral: - AC in private room was a great benefit, though it isn't the strongest from those really hot days (but it certainly wasn't weak either, hence the neutral) - Wifi was decent, but had it's moments of spottiness (but overall pretty good)

Incredibly incredibly minor complaint, but - I booked a private room, which included a TV, yet there was no TV remote for using it. Wasn't a big deal, as I probably wouldn't have actually used it much, but the option would be nice as it's included. I briefly mentioned it, and I'm sure if I cared more about it, the staff would have done something to accommodate me

Good breakfast, nice location very close to the old town, good private room, great outside area, caipirinhas at happy hour… This place has it all!

We didn’t like the boat tour we booked at the reception (this was not the tour organized by the hostel, but they facilitate for 20% of the price), snorkeling masks were said to be included, but there was only 1 for 13 people on a very small boat. It started raining pretty heavily in the afternoon, but there was not enough space on the boat for us to sit under the roof. Simply too many people were booked and we felt poorly informed by the hostel reception. There were plenty of other tours to book, but they work together with this one…

Had the time of my life. Met a very cool group of like minded people in the hostel and activities organized by the hostel. Good prices, very friendly staff, the social area was very nice! The breakfast was good. The vibe was so good that all of us decided to extend our stay!

The shared mixed room could have some attention. I stayed 5 days, people moved in and out but the same hostel towels were hanging at the corner of my bed all the time, also there was a collection of water bottles and bags all around. I think they didn’t belong to anybody, who knows how long these dirty stuff have been lying around.

Great location and really nice (albeit a bit slow) staff. Great common area and deals on cocktails from the bar. We had a great time, we could leave our suitcases there and make time during a thunderstorm until our night bus left, even using the swimming pool.

The pillows smelt unclean and unpleasant. The reception desk was a bit slow and we needed to wait 1/2 hour every time to get attended. Tours booked through the hostel got cancelled at the very last minute with no notification

The receptionists speak very good English and they gave us a lot of tips of what to do and where to go . The decoration of the hostel is awesome , very friendly, cosy and vibrant environment. The bed was very comfortable and it was very calm at night .

The water coming out of the shower was either cold or too hot. No way to control it so showering needed to be extremely quick . We had some issues with the card of the room, it didn't always worksl but the receptionist always fixed it.

The location is great.. walking distance from the busstation. The room was really big and the bathroom as Well. This was very Nice. It was clean and the staff friendly.

I missed a bit of live and the sitting area is a bit boring. There was also not much to drink, so no bar or something. Its just more of a functional hostel.

The common areas are really breautiful and chilled. Breakfast is supposed to be great although I personally did not try it (but I heard from some locals that they would go there to have breakfast from time to time).. Staff is great. The only thing I personally missed were curtains for the beds to get more comfort sleep.
