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😊

Everything was perfect, the hostel is located in the middle of the nature, but without losing any of the commodities you'd have in a city. There's hot water, everything's clean, the vibe is amazing and the bamboo constructions are beautiful! On Tuesday they host a Jam (live music) which I really recommend. The breakfast is amazing, everything's vegan and super nutritious and nourishing. The hostel is absolutely beautiful, completely surrounded by nature.

The only thing I didn't like was that you can't cook in the kitchen. There's fridges for you to store food and drinks and you can prepare sandwiches and such, but you can't use the stove or the oven.

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!

The only thing that might bother some people was the distance from the hostel to the the town and the beach but it’s only 15-20 minutes.

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

Very thin towels and it rained a little inside the room. It would be great to be able to use the kitchen as in any other hostel I’ve been

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!

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.

Nothing to complain, people should be aware of some limitations that a life away from the urban chaos have.

The Hostel is perfectly placed close to the centrum (10 min walk) but also very calm and because of the forrest so nice. The hosts are the best! They gave me a lot of good recommondations and were very nice, kind and helpful. The breakfast is so lovely and tasty. So many selfmade stuff and served with love and good talk.

Literally the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff are all absolute legends with heaps of knowledge and stories to share, the breakfast is actually insane, the scenery is beautiful, serenity at all times of day, yoga, jam sessions and the list just goes on and on. Just staying here is an experience in itself, would recommend ((((:

Out of a dream setting in the jungle, I stayed in the private bungalow it was a great experience, just the architectural wonder of those bamboo constructions deserve the visit. I can only recommend the hostel. Great breakfast, live music and amazing staff. Also I got offered a special cocktail by one of the owner it was one of the best I’ve ever tried honestly. I would go back any time! Thank you guys
