Awesome location to a wicked beach, for surf and to chill. Always something to do day and night. We had the double room with a view and it was really good. Small bathrooms but they did the job. Awesome bus!

Love this hostel! Amazing views from anywhere in the hostel - lovely to enjoy on the hammock or by the pool. 5 mins walk to beautiful beach and also cool little hike. Great for meeting other travellers - really sociable. Nice food, comfy beds, nice staff. Hardly left hostel/ beach the whole time - stayed for double the time initially intended!

Really nice hostel, with beautiful location, but our stay got kind of ruined because of reservation issues and repeated (!) thefts in our room.

Everything was perfect, just one thing that bugs me - The lights in the bathrooms are triggered by sensors, and they have a timer. Meaning that while Im taking a shower, the light will turn off, and I needed to get out and starting waving at the sensor... un-cool.

The staff is awsome and the trips and the place is really nice. The only negative is that they have kinda big over prices on beer and ciggaretts. Cheers!

Great hostel! the staff, especially Monika and Fernnanda,were really helpful and did their job professionally. VERY CLEAN -the best thing. A little improvement which is necessary in my opinion - the auotomatic lamps are really annoying. Especially in the shower- when we took a shower and after 2 minutes it turns off, which make us get out of the shower in the dark and look for the scanner. the same thing happens when we do number 2 at the toilet. Please consider thier efficiency. Thank you!

Hi, First we would like to thank you for giving your review and to say that without the comment of our guests it would be impossible to provide a better service. We just changed the automatic light switch to 10 minutes so nobody will have that problem anymore. Again thanks for letting us about that and hope to have you back once again in our hostel.

Todos os funcionários, sem exceção, são muito atenciosos e simpáticos. A localização não poderia ser melhor, e proporciona uma vista maravilhosa da Lagoa da Conceição. Há sempre alguém limpando os banheiros. A meu ver, a cozinha deve ser reformada (móveis e geladeiras em mau estado) e a coleta de lixo deve ser estimulada. Ainda destaco, positivamente, a facilidade na obtenção de serviços, a exemplo da locação de bicicletas. Por R$ 5,00 a mais, é possível uma melhora no café da manhã.

I had a great time there. Could not think of staying anywhere else next time I am in Floripa. Atmosphere was outstanding. Nicely located with a view on the lagoa - just a 5min walk to Mole Beach. The goodlooking staff is always up for a smile and ready to support you in any matter. They also organize tours every day & night. Facilities were comfortable and always clean. Strongly recommend this place to anybody that wants the perfect mix of activities, fun and relaxation.

Fantastic hostel in a good location with a great friendly atmosphere. Only downside is not enough bathrooms for the amount of people and kitchen is not very equipped if you didn't want to buy food in the restaurant. Would stay again

Truly is a magic hostel on a magic island! Don't consider anywhere else! My stay on Isla Santa Catarina was the perfect end to my trip around South America and it was largely down to staying at this fantastic place.
