very good.

You won't be needing anything at the hotel. You will be basically making some campings or sightseeings so you will only use the hostel to sleep. Breakfast is great, and the staff is unique. Ask for Flor, the tourist guide who will be the best guide you will ever meet. If you have the chance: make a camping on Cachoeira da Fumaça or Cachoeira da Mixila

Great hostel and the staff is so nice, especially Adriana! The rooms are clean, the breakfast is great. The tours are very good and if you just want to hang out they have all these nice hammocks in the garden :) The only thing is that they make you pay if you want to have a shower or use the kitchen after check out..

I arrived at HI Chapada as a first time traveller, never having stayed in a hostel any where in the world, so had no comparison and didn't really know what to expect. It's a cool laid back hostel very well organized. My room was spotless and really spacious. The bathrooms super clean. The garden was a great area for meeting people and socialising in the evenings. Great atmosphere and good for a hostel virgin like me!

Very nice hostel, clean and well run. Only complaint is they charge extra for things like hanging out in the common areas if you have a late bus departure.

Dear William, please be fair. We regret your spreading false information. There is no charge for just "hanging out" in the common area after check out time. You "hung out" here until 23 h and was not charged for that. INstead, if one wants to keep the bed until 23 h, then yes, there is a late check out convenience fee of LESS than 1/2 daily rate. We kept your backpack locked in luggage room after your check out at 11h for free and you enjoyed our hammocks, garden, WiFi,bathrooms etc until 23 h all for free.

A great hostel for organising and jumping on tours. They have booklets with trips to all the main sights laid out which takes all the hassle away from doing it yourself. The staff were very friendly and keen to help with information. There is a nice outdoor garden area for chilling out. The only downside were the front dorms being right next to the street. There isn't much traffic, but when it goes past you'll hear it. Best to take some ear plugs. My room was also very hot - one fan and no a/c.

Dear Matthew, thank you for taking the time to rate your stay and for the positive review. Yes, you chose to visit Bahia during the warmest season , and you chose the main male dormitory as oposed to another smaller MALE dorm that is not so warm during summer. Yes, you also chose a room with ceiling fan and no A/C. We respect your choices. Thank you for staying with us.

Great hostel in a lovely old building. Our room was a bit small, but certainly suitable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Great restaurants near by for dinner. Tours can be arranged here also.

Nice and comfortable hostel with friendly staff. They also organize good tours to national park. There are many rules in this hostel though.

We stayed in the hostel only for one night, but the staff was really friendly. The breakfast was good too. We had already booked a tour to chapada but that is easily possible too.
