Summary of traveller reviews

Albergue de Lencois Backpackers in Lencois is a fantastic base for exploring Chapada Diamantina, with highly praised, friendly staff and an excellent on-site tour agency. Guests love the convenient location, good breakfast, and well-equipped kitchens. Some recent reviews mention rooms can be hot at night, with fans not always sufficient.

This is a great hostel especially for the price just outside the very center while also being close to the bus terminal. The beds are really well made and comfortable and there is a well stocked couple of kitchens. There is a your agency at the hostel so if you wanted to make friends to do a tour with this is a great option. They also have locker storage free of charge which is super useful. Amazing hostel

A nice hostel with great tours available, however the staff could be quicker and more friendly with messaging. The noise was a problem; quiet hours are not enforced and many people need to wake up early for excursions. Great breakfast.

It’s social and they have a tour agency so it’s easy to book tours about them. The location is central and quiet. The beds are comfortable.
