    I knew about the nightclub, so I was not surprised! It felt a little noisy from the private rooms, but the parties were really fun so I mostly joined them. The price of the private rooms feels a bit high for their size, but the views I suppose make it worth it, but they are higher prices than many other places on the island. Still, an incredible experience :)

    The hostel is in an absolutely gorgeous place. I had a private room that looked out onto the ocean, blue skies, sound of the waves waking you up... A dream! You have breakfast overlooking the sea. The staff is great, I made a few friends through them and had a really amazing time. Unforgettable!

    The breakfast could be better, it was a bit chaotic. If you’re looking for a traditional hostel vibe, this wasn’t really it.

    It is not located in town but it’s tucked away so it feels like a getaway. It’s about a 15-min walk depending on your pace. We got a private room and they had personal hammocks out front, which were nice to chill in. The rooms themselves were small, but had everything we needed. AC, a private bathroom with decent water pressure, and clean. They even had a TV in there which we didn’t use. They had some cabinets for valuables (bring your own lock) and a coat hanger. The property had a private gym too. When we stayed there, they had two resident cats which we loved! They hung around the check in lobby area as well as the property. The hostel is situated close to the beginning of the famous trail to remote beaches such as Praia de Lopes Mendes.

    As its outside the center of Abraão, you need to carry your luggage a small distance over the beach or take a water taxi.

    Free entry to neighbouring night club, good location slightly outside Abraão, very friendly staff.

    The kitchen is practically empty of tools for cooking. The plates are not good, the eating cutlery is not enough for the people, and the most simply thing to eat can be a challenge to do. But is the only bad thing.

    The location is one of the most beautiful things that the hostel have. The rooms are big and comfy, the beds are too! The bathroom is really comfortable and very clean too. The common spaces are so good, and the fact that is next to Che Lagarto where the best parties are, is the best thing ever. The after-party is made in Aquario too and is pretty good. The noise of the parties will not be heard at the rooms. The breakfast is really complete and delicious. The staff is cool, but Adriana and Luis will forever have a place in my heart! Definitely will come back

    the Madam does not speak much English, but she is always willing to help Also, there was a party next door not in the property. I think the next door has bigger party so they did not throw a party in the property. Another thing is to get to the property to have to walk beach and kind of path that unpaved. If you have big luggage, I would be challenging.

    Well, I went there in Carnival Season. I has beautiful ocean view and you can actually swim in front of property. Breakfast wonderful too. the owners are really kind and helpful.

    There was no soap in the bathroom and the filtered water was not always clean. Also the cats sometimes entered in the rooms. The rooms are quite small. Further it would nice if there was some vegetables or salty options for breakfast. When we have been there, no party took place and so the hostel was quite chill but next to the hostel is a bar which is a bit noisy at night.

    The highlight of our stay was enjoying breakfast and looking at the seaside. There is a lot of variaty for breakfast which we really appreciate. The location of the hostel is perfect as it is close to the small center but still a bit outside of the "city". I would deffinetly go there again!

    I enjoyed everything! But if you’re a light sleeper, I would keep that into consideration. The bar next door is popular.

    The rooms are right by the ocean. And hammocks to relax and watch the sunset or ocean. The owner was extremely helpful and was always available. Would stay again 100%

    dorm rooms are very basic, no shelfes or anything to put or hang your stuff in the bathroom.. shower head was always dripping a bit which resulted in the bathroom being a bit flooded other guests where very loud in front of the room throughout the whole night - yes it has a club but when it closes the hostel should make sure that quite hours are respected

    nice breakfast buffet, location directly on the end of the beach

    The rooms are very humid and damp. In the bathroom it was leaking from the roof. So the toilet was wet all the time. The cleaning was minimal. And because it was raining you should do more to clean the Floor. The shower was or cold or burning hot.

    The location was good. The bed was quite comfortabel. The breakfast great! The staff super friendly.

    It was very quiet, although it is December and the high season is supposed to start. There were no people during the day or evening. There is a party that starts very late, but it just was very difficult to meet people as there was barely anyone and I was alone in my dorm.

    Spacious, clean, nice view.

    This is not a social hostel at all. No events or communal space to relax in. It's a night club with a few rooms attached. You'd be much better off staying in a social hostel and then just walking over here for big party nights. Very expensive private rooms. No hot water.

    Bbq night. Location. Great gym onsite.

    Of course it's a night club but also a 'hostel'. The hostel part was def lacking in our view. You eat (cook) in an empty bar and under white lights. No social vibe until party. Lady at the reception was unfriendly from the start (no English) but guy from the bar was really friendly translating. Eventually hostel handled our complaint well and was open to take feedback

    I hate to say that the great location and views has may be just enough to compensate the things that need dire improvement in the space and accommodations. The rooms are incredibly small and the beds/matresses (although comfortable) were also too small. I could barely fit on the mattress and I'm a thin woman, only 5'6. The bathrooms are in dire need of basic remodeling and can use very basic aditions such as a couple hooks for clothing (there's not a single one) and a soap dispenser. So will have to have to bring every bit of toiletry with you (except for toilet paper) and manage your shower times and clothing changing strategically. Bathrooms are also almost too small, very little space to put any belongins and could be more lit and cleaned more often. The shower has good pressure but the water temperature isn't warm enough. Luckly it was so hot that the colder water wasn't that big of a deal. The ac works well, so although hot and humid (as expected) the room temp can get more comfortable. The lockers are big enough but the roon space is so tiny we're all on top of each other a bit to move around. The reception looked a fancier lol If you want to have a more "party like" experience that place is for you. If not, you will have a hard time resting. The club/bar inside is loud go until very late and you can hear the bass vibration from your bed even with earbuds. I had a very hard time resting and was incredbly tired the next day. It's a "late night" type of hostel. My roommates were super sweet but they kept the noise and socializing goind untill past 1 am, the chatter wasn't loud but it was right outside the door on the deck, where it is indeed a nice spot to hang out. So quiet time isn't reinforced at all, luckly I asked them if they could move a bit further and they were kind to do so.

    The location and view from right outside the rooms are amazing. The deck is nice and although it is at the end of the beach it isn't far. It is important to clarify that you do walk a portion of the way there on sand and up a small dirt alley so dragging a suitcase will be a bit difficult. The breakfast was great too and the staff was helpful.

    The rooms were damp and could be cleaner. the Air-conditioning is old and could be upgraded, it gave me a cough. It can be noisy if you are trying to sleep with the club at the hostel.

    Beautiful location and nice facilities. Good breakfast. Very social and the club is a lot of fun.

    From the pier where the ferry drops you off its a bit of a hike up the beach to the hostel. We are young and fit but we had rolling luggage and backpacks and that made getting there challenging. The room itself was very basic and shabby and we didn't have hot water for showers. it definitely felt overpriced for what we got and we wouldn't stay here again.
