Why you should go
1
Perfect location on Itacaré's popular Pituba Street near beaches and trails
2
Spacious and clean female dormitory with well-maintained bathrooms
3
Availability of air conditioning at all times for comfort in hot climate
Your itinerary and your map in one view
No more switching between different apps, tabs, and tools to keep track of your travel plans.
The hostel is very clean and offers many bathroom options in case the one in your room is occupied. The female dormitory is quite spacious, and the bathroom is also always very clean.
The location is perfect, right on the main street of Itacaré and close to the beaches, trails, and the bus terminal.
An extremely positive point is that the air conditioning is available at all times, with no set hours for turning it on and off, which is very important given the city’s hot climate. This comfort is rare in many hostels, which typically have specific hours for air conditioning use.
The breakfast is complete and very tasty, but the hours are a bit unusual, from 7:00 to 8:00. If you want to sleep in, you won’t be able to have breakfast.
The sockets in the dorms DONT WORK!! I checked in late after a long travel day and my phone was low on battery so this was the last thing I wanted. Ah no wait, I also had to make my bed in the dark (because they don’t do it).
The positive thing is they have a/c during the day too and since there are no areas to lie down/hammocks/comfy chairs it’s a good option to rest
Hands down the worst hostel I stayed in. There’s no areas to relax, the rooms are extremely crowded, beds are very uncomfortable and the bathroom stinks the whole rooms.

The hostel is not a good one. The people in it are amazing. But some of the crew and the rules are really bad. There is a worker with glasses that is very racist against Israeli's. Even though we did nothing wrong. They keep on looking for ways to bum the mood. They didn't say when entering the hostel that it is not allowed to sit anywhere after 23:00, and they didn't even offer a plan B meaning you need to go out to the street to smoke or have a good time with friends.
And there's the small detail that the beer tastes like it's been in the fridge for a couple of good years.
I never write bad reviews but this is something in all my years traveling I have never encountered.
Breakfast insane good. Prices unbelievable. Staff super super NICE!!!! Location sooooo gooooood. Ju and crew best people. The beds are good. The roof, the view. You gonna fall in love sure. The night bar favela is close. The beaches easy to reach. Everything you need is there
