Reviews of Pousada e Hostel Holandês

The staff are super sweet. The breakfast is yummy with a home made cake everyday. The garden is well kept and very relaxing! The rooms are cleaned everyday, and they are cleaned very well. Our shower was very spacious. I loved the atmosphere.

We stayed in one of the chalets. Please don’t stay here if you have a sensitivity to mould- I think it might be an island wide issue, but our hut was mouldy. The wall next to our bed had mould marks and it felt really uncomfortable. I’ll be honest, it really made our stay unpleasant (I also had a cough that got worse staying there). We did not mention it to the (amazing!!) reception because the huts were cleaned to very high standards, so I am certain they were aware of the mould and it wasn’t just our hut. That being said, I think the hostel would benefit from cleaning with mould remover maybe once a month. Or maybe even consider refurbishing the huts entirely, I think they might be a bit too old now and ruined by humidity and mould (but I am not an expert).

Beautiful tropical garden area, good breakfast, clean and tidy, receptionist was very helpful and friendly, super places to hangout, kitchen available. Not far from town but away from all the hustle and bustle.

Then lockers are useless if you have a thin padlock. Some of the breakfast staff could be a bit more friendly in the morning, I felt like an intruder one day from the glares they gave me. Bathroom door was very noisy.

The location was beautiful and the chalet was so cute. We liked feeling tucked away in the jungle. Breakfast was good. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Lots of friendly cats on the property

We loved it! Just be aware that it is a more rustic location, so you might encounter some creepy crawlies

Great Hostel. Location was superb, away from the center of Illhe Grande. The walk is only 5-10 minutes from the pier. Great settings as just on the outskirts of town. Great atmosphere and staff were amazingly helpful. Highly recommend.

The staff were all really helpful especially Marcella. She patiently explained things to us and provided us with lots of useful tips. Breakfast was decent, and the location is perfect - just 10 mins walk from the beach and you are there surrounded by lots of tropical plants.

Located in the most gorgeous garden, this hostel is a great spot to stay at Ilha Grande. Expect a bit of a hike arriving with your luggage but once you’re there it’s more than worth the climb. And without luggage it’s really only a few minutes from town, whilst still being a tranquil environment. The owner Marcela is super friendly and can help you with any questions you may have. The breakfast is lovely and with the kitchen there you can easily cook some additional items you may like. We had a fabulous stay. Obrigada Marcela!

Clean and organized facilities. Friendly and kind staffs. Pretty yards with some hummocks. It was good vibes.

I loved the breakfast, common spaces, spacious rooms, comfy beds, cute cats, and well maintained plants everywhere. There’s even a koi fish pond. The staff were excellent and Edgar gave great advice on navigating the island.

All very good.

Very nice set-up with the little individual cabins. Lots of greenery around. On the edge of the town so very serene. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Because it's on the edge of the town, access is not the easiest. It's up on a small hill and there is no other way to get there but to walk. Also, there were many tiny ants in the room due to the natural setting.

Beautiful and peaceful. Everything you need is there and more.

Very peaceful atmosphere and tucked away with lots of nature

Comfortable bed and near to main bars/restaurants of town

The hostel was overrun by a French school group when we were there - they were everywhere and never seemed to leave! No vibe at all! Staff were not very friendly or helpful. Accommodation was ok but rooms were boiling hot during the day until a/c went on at night and bathrooms could be cleaner.

Great Location. Excellent buffet breakfast and comfortable bed and areas to relax. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

It’s just amazing beautiful place!!

The breakfast was amazing, as promised! I also chose this hostel based on the tranquil location, and it was perfect for spending the day lazing about in the hammock in the beautiful surroundings. Nice little kitchenette for making your own food.

The top bunk bed was not the easiest to get down from, and the beds were noisy when someone even just turned over at night.

Breakfast was DIVINE! all Brazilian fruits, lovely coffee, nice area for mingle with fellow travellers and my friend and I had separate "cabanas", Lord of the Rings style... it was super nice!

NOTHING! nothing to complain about it. I could suggest a few hangers in the room and that all.
