Not really a hostel vibe, pretty much

Location and staff

Stayed in January 2024

The hostel is really not clean, the bathroom in the dorm didnt have water for several days and was not cleaned once. The wifi never worked. Bad for me that I had to work for a week there.

The staff was really nice

Normally I don’t write reviews but I need to write one for this hostel because it is extraordinary bad. This is the dirtiest hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen is horrible - it only has two (not really usable) knives and could really use an upgrade. There was a crab in my room and they couldn’t even provide us with more toilet paper. Don’t drink the filtered water. I got Diarrhoea because of that.

The location was pretty good

Bathroom and communal kitchen were not so clean.

Very cheap and location is perfect, close to everything.

I stayed one night in a shared room with six beds without mosquito nets, and I was attacked by mosquitoes throughout the night without being able to sleep. The beds are not prepared for those who want to rest without the hassle of mosquitoes on an island with abundant mosquitoes. Otherwise, all good.

Central location close to everything and large communal garden space

Wifi didnt reach some areas of the hostel very well.

Really nice hostel with good volunteers and a nice vibe and plenty of communal areas to use and a ok breakfast for a reasonable price.

Here is some constructive feedback, unsure if management will take it seriously. I guess it would be good to share with other travelers, so they are aware of these things) - Watch out! They change your room / Booking without notifying you. We have booked the comfort twin room 6 months in advance. When we arrived, we had given a standard room instead (no A/C nor TV). There is no communication on this issue. We had whatsapp the host at the same time, but there was no response. Due to no communication on this, we did not know if the price we paid is for the comfort room (with A/C) or the standard room. Maybe it's a good idea to check your room before you pay. - Music event during the weekend They may have some music event happening during the weekend. (During our stay, there were 2 events happening and finished at midnight) - Cleanliness During our stay, no towels nor bedsheets were charged. (They do take out the rubbish and sweep the floor.)

First of all, we had a lovely time in Boipeba. We enjoy the hostel environment. Some facts about the hostel: - Hostel located in the Boipeba village and approximately 15 mins away from the pier and 1 hour away from Cueira. It is surrounded by lots of trees, but at the same time close to stores, supermarkets, and restaurants. - The hostel is run by volunteers mainly (not sure what the agreement between volunteers and hostel, but we saw a few different travelers are the main ones who assist in cleaning and serving breakfast). Everyone is friendly and helpful. - There are 3 types of accommodation available here: - Dorm room (I think it is 6 people/ rooms, unsure if there is a fan) - Standard double room ( suitable for 4 people, including fan but not A/C) - Comfort twin room (suitable for couple, including TV and A/c) -They only take cash or Pix (Brasilian digital payments method) - Wifi only works around the reception area. Personal experience: As we are foreigners and we could not finalize the deposit in advance. We have been actively check-in with them to ensure our booking is secured. They are also responsive to our emails. Also, due to the unforseen event, we couldn't get to the accommodation on time. We have notified them in advance, and they were able to keep our reservation. (They were able to rent out our room as it's peak season) We truly appreciate that they keep our reservation.

I actually did not happen to stay there. when I arrived - it was no hotel representative, only a volunteer who told me that they don’t have any place available for me and can’t honour my booking. and he said that it’s not a 1st time same issue. Boipeba was all full and in this time of the day it was impossible to find alternative accommodation and it put me in extremely difficult situations.
