Sunset Backpackers was awesome! Great location-walking distance to surf, sand boarding, and the lake. The best music and view were right at the hostel!

The hostel is very good, breakfast is awesome. They could also improove the cleaness, mainly about the pool, there was a dead bug floating on the pool on my last day there. What bothered me more was the fact that it's allowed to smoke on the only tv room there are. It's a very good tv room with comfortable seats and a good tv but there are always 10 or more people smoking there. Absolutely impossible for a non smoker to be there

We had problems from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. They succeeded on their task of foolin us: charged more for our stay without us noticing, we payed for a 10ppl suite and they made up a story so we ended up sharing a 22ppl suite without a discount. It was a disaster! They tried to make us pay for drinks, food and taxes we hadn't had. The place was smelly and dirty plus the staff could never solve the problems. I don't know what could've happened if we didn't speak portuguese!

Nice and helpfull staff. Toiletpaper was sometimes missing at the shared bathroom by the bedrooms. Wonderful atmosphere. The rooms need something on the walls to put your clothes on.

The view from the hostel is great, cool pool area and bar. But i've never seen such a disorganized place! I booked a room for 4 people, suddenly there were 5... they wanted to charge me more money than it should be... and one day the bottle of water is R$2. The other day is R$2.50...! It's crazy... The toilets are constantly not working. They have a lot of people working there and no one really knows what to do or how to do things around... I would look for another place.

Amazing vibe with incredible staff. Had the best 4 days in Floripa! Absolutely perfect location, 5 minutes walk from Mole beach and great views from the bar/pool area. Everyone there made the experience top notch! Definitely recommend to anyone

solid hostel. lots of party people when i was there. english speaking staff that were reasonably helpful. a bit loud at nights if you want to get some shut eye, but a great place to meet some people to party with. awesome location close to the beaches and pretty good dinners for good value.

Everything about this hostel makes it worth staying here, the awesome views, the parties, free caipirinha every night....but the best thing about this hostel is the staff. Don't bother looking anywhere else. Stay here !!

The best hostel I have stayed in, FACT. The staff are so helpful and friendly and get everyone involved in the fun. Great food, beautiful location and if you find time to sleep the bedrooms are lovely and serviced every day. Miss it already, coming back for Carnival!

The Hostel's Location is just perfect, wonderful view on the lagoon. BUT I CAN'T RECOMMEND this hostel. It is the most chaotic organisation I have ever experienced. The personnel is not trained, just everyone can work there, this results in chaos and nobody as a clue what to do& they don't have a proper accountancy. This results, that guests get more charged than they normally have to pay. The guest kitchen is more than dirty & the organised dinner are sometimes do not take place without notice.

Would totally recomend this hostel. We had a great time. The staff were really friendly and all the guests hung out together. Security, cleanliness and location were all great. Do some research as we heard there were a couple of other hostels that were also great but a lot cheaper.

Sheets clean but with holes on it. Kitchen without pans and dirty. Nice view, very good location, nice people. /it´s easy to park infront of the hostel. Sabanas rotas pero limpias, necesita una mayor limpieza y una puesta punto de los banhos. La cocina no tiene cazuelas y esta sucia y muy abandonada.
