Awesome place to stay, primo location - close to town and the beach, fun, helpful and honest staff, awesome view. Parties and events organised every night. Good feeds and a cheap bar. They had lots of guests which made it easy to meet people, great if you are travelling alone like me. Definitely recommend it!!!!!

You will know once you have visited that this will be one of the best hostels you will ever visit. Perched upon a hill overlooking the lagoon and only 5 mins from Mole surf beach, location is unbeatable. The staff make this place. The owners Junior & Julian are both young & switched on, never too busy to have a chat or beer with you. They even cooked us a free BBQ when NZ won the Rugby world cup. Always something on, great food and free breakfast and 2 weeks was not long enough here! Cheers boys

Awesome place...Junior, Julian and co go out of there way to make sure you enjoy your stay here. There are always different activities and group dinners. You can rent surfboards and walk down to the beach. Beds are comfy and the main dorm has awesome views. Totally recommend this place. Ps...Make sure you check out Beco for all you can eat lunches for R$14.

A really cool place to stay, especially if you want to just chill and get away. Close by to the beach and not too far a stroll into town. The place wasnt too busy as it was low season but i can imagine it will be pumping in the summer! There was a bit of a change around when we arrived due to the room we booked not actually existing but it was sorted out all good. Definately stay here though, loads of fun.

Excellent service, people working there is so freaking funny, great bar and the view is great. You can spend a great time in the pool when the Sun comes out, as well as you can walk 3 minutes from the hostel to the beach and voilá. Strongly recommended.

Staff was fine, the guys are really nice, they even helped us out, finding a better room that the one I had booked. There were happy hours every night, and party almost everyday, at Sunset or somewhere else, so, if we don't had something to do yet, there was always something happenning. Beside that, the view from the Hostel to the lake is awesome, the location is great, you can reach it by bus from everywhere, rooms are fine with lots of character...I'll recomend it 4 sure!
