    When the air conditioning is on, it leaks water on the unit outside and it goes right on where the clothes are hanging just below it. Other than that, everythings perfect

    Felt like at home The hosts are very friendly and welcoming The hostel is located in the middle of the village but in a quiet street The kitchen The coffee The beds are comfortable slept like a baby Very clean Hot shower

    I 100% recommend you to stay at this hostel. Heloise and Giselle were the most helpful and kind people. It’s right by the beach, with shops around but still feels peaceful. Has a full kitchen and great Wi-Fi. The hostel is small, but very clean and homely. Heloise helped sort my transfer back to the mainland at short notice, even taking me down to the dock showing me which boat to get. Thank you for making me feel so welcome!

    One of the best hostel I stayed in! Giselle and Eloïse are super welcoming and the other guests were all very friendly. The hostel being quite small, it's easy to get to know all the guests. The location is perfect, in the center of Abrãao, you can walk everywhere easily.

    Lower bunk beds are really low, you cannot even sit. But small detail.

    The staff was great and gave the guests a warm welcome. You easily got to know people and the atmosphere has been great. It is a very basic hostel, but would go there again.

    The 3 level bunk beds give you no space to sit and the room is a little small for 8 people. And also only 1 bathroom for 8 people.

    The owners are amazing! So friendly and fun! The location is perfect! Central, convenient and quiet! Feels like home. The AC is perfect for the night. I get cold easily and usually don’t like AC but the weather is very hot so feels very comfortable at night even sleeping right under the AC.

    The air condition was pretty loud and too cold for me, also the room seemed sometimes a bit small for 8 people

    Helô and Gi <3 what can I say - these two wonderful friends running the hostel are just amazing. Very positive, energetic, helpful and welcoming (even towards friends who are not staying in the hostel). I got lots of nice recommendations regarding what to do and where to go on the island. Every question or doubt was answered with patience and a warmhearted smile :) I felt like home, due to the very familiar atmosphere with both, the hosts, but also the other guests. We even went out together to one of the parties on the island, all togehter! The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need. There is fresh coffee every morning and the bathroom was cleaned regularly. Also the location is nice, if you want to be in the center, sourrounded by restaurants, bars and the main beaches of the village. Thank you so much for this beautiful time, the shared laughters, the concert and this very special connection <3

    Only think I can find is that one day you need to leave this beautiful place and that time is very sad.

    Home away from home. The best hostel in the world with the best peaple!(I visited many around 5 continents) You will receive nothing else than love and possitve energy. From day one I was feeling like part of Family. Heloisa and Giselle are the most worm and amazing people I ever met, they will try to help you with everything you need. The facility is great. Share kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are very clean and tidy. Bed is comfortable. You can book tours and transport. In my 2 months travel around Brazil I came here 3 times and can't wait when I'll be back again . Book you will not regret!

    The best hostel in Ilha Grande! Most wonderful and helpful staff and owner I met in my life. I would come back there just to have chat with them. I feld like at home of all the time. Place is very clean and beds are comfortable. Location is perfect I won't even consider to choose other hostel. Love everything over there.
