“Nice location”

The breakfast was really good, their fresh cakes and fruit were amazing and the coffee was really good, and actually hot. The staff were friendly, as were the cats, and the setting was very pleasant. The difficulty of the walk has been overstated by other reviews! It’s maybe 5 minutes to town. I really liked the fact that the towels were fresh every day and the bathroom was spacious!

“A piece of paradise in Ilha grande”

The best place where I have been: staff is super-kind and flexible, rooms are clean, breakfast delicious. Overall is like a little piece of paradise. Definitely I sleep better here than at home. I have spent one week and if I would have more holidays I would spend more time.

“Nice property, but falls short of its high rating and price”

​I chose this place because it was recommended by my hostel in Rio, and the online reviews are excellent. However, I feel the high rating doesn't quite reflect the actual experience, especially considering the price. ​First, the location: walking from the port to the property takes about 15 to 20 minutes up a very steep hill with suitcases or backpacks. It is quite secluded, which can be a plus if you want peace and quiet, but it’s something to keep in mind. ​The outdoor area is beautifully landscaped with great seating and chill-out areas. However, I was disappointed to see trash lying in the grass that wasn't picked up by the gardeners or staff. (While it’s worse that people litter in the first place, or that the wind blows it in, the staff should definitely keep the grounds clean). ​Lastly, regarding breakfast: there is a nice buffet setup, but you actually have to order bread and cheese directly from the staff. Nobody informed me about this, and I only found out later, which was frustrating.

The cats. The location. The staff. The well equipped kitchen. The cleanliness. The cats. Actually almost everything.

“Perfect if you get a private hut or the single beds”

Being surrounded by nature and in hammocks was so lovely. Brekkie is delicious and plentiful. The staff were incredible and did everything they could to make you comfortable. When I said I was going to leave, the lovely lady at the front said she had another room she could move me to that had single beds if I wanted to stay. She was so kind and caring, but I’d already decided to go back to Rio by then. It was past check out on the second day, but she kindly refunded the third night for me, which she absolutely didn’t have to do.

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. You can feel that they truly care about their guests. Thank you very much! The place has a great vibe, very popular among young people looking for some chill.

It was beautiful. I personally loved that it was in the middle of the forest. Abit of a walk from the beach but like only 15 minutes compared to the other hostels. I think the walk was totally worth it because it was in a very tranquil area

“Amazing stay. I was in the 6 bed female dorm and wow some friends forever. This hostel was peaceful and clean, would lov”

Great people staying here. Hostel was peaceful but still social. It was tidy and clean.

“Perfect spot x”

Loved this hostel. Beautiful setting and I slept really well in the beds. It was clean. Breakfast was great and I made some lovely friends here (including the resident cats!)

Very nice surroundings, I even saw rare birds!

“Pleasant - I stayed in the female dormitory”

I loved the views and the peaceful feeling of feeling at the jungle. The services were great: bar, reception, hammocks and breakfast. You need a locker though to lock your belongings.

One of the best hostels I've stayed! Great location, immersed in nature! Basic comfortable bedroom with a nice shower and a safe, great common space and very nice varied breakfast! I would definitely recommend it!

Best breakfast i've ever had! Stuff amazing, Hostel is green and in the middle of the jungle

“Scenic not worth the hassle to get there book a hostel closer without multiple stairs”

Scenic location

Great location in a very calm spot, kitchen is convenient, breakfast very good ! Thx Paulo

“Oasis in the middle of Ilha Grande”

Amazing staff and property. It was one of our favourite stays, super lush gardens with plants and a cosy, clean hut. Breakfast was also really good!

“Cozy atmosphere”

The breakfast was amazing. The women preparing it were super friendly and even prepared the tables in a very cute manner. Very homy

Beautiful place, great beds, best breakfast I have had in a hostel in Brazil! Loved the mango especially!!!

It was perfect, one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was so clean and comfortable. I met such lovely people whilst I was there, I highly recommend.

Amazing place. Marcela, Paulo, Valmir, and everyone at breakfast go above and beyond to help with any queries or concerns. Staff clearly love the hostel and do everything to make sure travellers love it too! Everything is cute and clean; breakfast is amazing; location is great; excellent place to meet others as a solo traveller. A lot of thought has gone into making it a wonderful place and it really is.
