Everything here was so wonderful, it is half indoors and half outdoors and very pleasant. Great showers, places to hang towels and wet clothes outside, small but functional kitchen, so quiet and peaceful at nighttime and yet still very close to everything in the downtown area. The family is very friendly, the common areas are comfortable and have helpful books for planning trips around the island. There is a water filter so you never have to worry about drinking water or making too much plastic bottle waste. The beds have privacy curtains, the fan for nighttime is strong and comfortable, the lockers all work and everything is very safe here.

If it rains a lot ( for a long time ) then obviously it will be more difficult to dry your clothes out on the line. The rooms do not have air conditioning, they really don't need it, it's comfortable at night, but you do need some mosquito repellent because some mosquitos come in the window at night. The fan is very good but yes it can also be a bit noisy. Overall still a really, really good place on Ilha Grande!

What makes this hostel truly special is how friendly, helpful, and smiley 😊 Angela and Jose Antonio are! Angela kindly helped me book boat tours and my transfer back to Rio. It's a very peaceful location with only the sound of birds singing during the day and crickets at night. Also, it is kept very clean!

The only downside for me was that there weren't many other guests to socialize with.

- Lovely and super helpful host! She goes out of her way to help you. - Everything is cleaned regularly. - Coffee in the morning. - The cats :)

It’s quite basic - definitely feels like a handmade jungle lodge, almost like you’re staying outdoors. If you don’t mind this then it’s great.

Lots of space for chilling out. Very helpful owner. Good WiFi. Great location and lovely views.

Hot water ran out quickly but doesn’t matter to much as the weather is warm.

Amazing vibe of the hostel. Super peaceful and quiet. It's located in a very good place - close to noisy downtown. A kind host is going to help you with everything, Highly recommend!

Beautiful location and place, perfect to spend chill days and or nights in a homely place. Warm and caring hosts :)

The vibe was very relaxed, the owners were incredibly friendly and the location was excellent, near the centre

Amazing owners! And a lovely clean hostel which feels like a jungle lodge (I thought it was better than the pictures).

The hostel’s looks are amazing, its a cool place with a great atmosphere and Angela is super kind, she will help you with anything, everything is very clean and you can simply rely on everything, truly a great place!!

Lovely place to stay!!
