This hostel is unique. It feels very relaxing to have a break and enjoy the surrounding nature. It is further away from the center and the beaches but expected when booking. The bamboo buildings are amazing and rooms comfortable. The best vegan breakfast you can have !! I really enjoyed my stay, with very friendly staff working!

“Wake up to the sounds of the forest”
The nature surroundings. Staff are friendly and even prepared a small breakfast bag last minute which was impressive even though we couldn't take breakfast because we left early

“A hostel with character that lets you feel at one with nature.”
I loved my stay at Bamboo. The location was amazing - completely surrounded by nature. All of the staff were really friendly and the breakfast was great as well. I also enjoyed the jazz night they do every Tuesday. Would highly recommend!

“If you are open to what Nature and this place has to offer it is going to be a great XP.”
I've read some previous reviews and should tell these people to stay home LOL. It's a very peaceful and cozy place with nice stuff and contact with Nature. Recomendadíssimo.

Atmosphere is nice as it’s in the middle of a jungle and you are surrounded by nature, which is relaxing.

“Great potential place needing more attention”
The location in the jungle and away from the business of the village is the best part! The staff is very nice and helpful :)

“Absolute favourite, would’ve loved to stay longer!”
Probably one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! It looks amazing, the beds are comfy, the vibes in the middle of the forest are insane. I really enjoyed going to sleep and waking up to the sounds of nature. And the breakfast was beyond delicious! Everything was vegan and prepared in the hostel daily by an amazing chef. The staff is absolutely amazing and always very helpful. Incredible vibe, with nice common areas and instruments for spontaneous jam sessions😊

The double room is beautiful, you get a 360 experience in the middle of the nature. Recommended if you don’t mind being a bit away from the main center. Great staff and breakfast.

“Escape in the middle of nature”
Friendly staff, beautiful location in the middle of nature. A bit far but we knew this and wanted to stay in the nature so it was okay. The breakfast was good (vegan) and the WiFi worked well considering the location

“Dream stay”
An experience that you will remember forever, sleeping with the sounds of the jungle and waking up looking at all the lush nature around you. Very relaxing days. Joaquin and Matheus were so nice and the best part was the breakfast! Best one I had in my life, it’s all healthy, vegan and plant based but so tasty and I want to learn to make all the recipes. Different recipes to try every day!
