Great hostel with ensuite dorms which were generally clean and tidy. Various tours and nights out organised through the hostel, we only went on one which was worth it. The free Caiprinhas every night are fantastic! Would recommend this hostel.

Stayed over New years, 2012 and was sad to leave. I felt it's a nice place to stay for single travelers. They have a caipirinha hour and the communal large table for breakfast is inviting to meet each other. The owners are always around to help, emails answers on time, staff is incredibly helpful. One feels welcome. Even in hectic... More

Barra Guest Hostel was absolutely wonderful. Best stay at a hostel I have had in any of my travels. It was extremely clean, with air conditioning in the rooms and an en suite bathroom in every room, complete with the biggest lockers I have ever seen in a hostel, allowing you to store your entire suitcase with no worries (not...

The hostel is very cozy, spacius rooms, great furniture and extremely clean. Keyko takes very good care of us and help with whatever issue or doubt that shows up! Really lovely place!!! I will come back there soon.

Had a very good stay at Barra Guest Hostel. The owner is always around and very generous, always giving advice and directions as needed. She is approachable and helped us with whatever we needed. The environment is very safe and everyone is very friendly here. In response to the review bellow, I am very surprised to hear that this was... More

And you'd think that if I was forced to spend an extra day in Salvador and spent the entire day getting the window fixed,... More

During a long travel, my experiences in various hostels were - mmmh, let´s say not only good.. And as I wanted to enjoy my last four weeks I made a intensive research about Hostels in Salvador. After reading tons of reviews I decided to have a look at the Barra-Guest-Hostel - and it was the best decision I could have... More

We stayed there only for 2 days, the owner accepted us as running people. She is super friendly and helpful, cares about a good quality rather than making huge profits. There is a nice breakfast with "hot food", that means they serve eggs and ohter stuff when you recommend it. Then, there is a Caipi-guy who makes great cocktails, the... More

I stayed 6 nights in the hostel and I don't regret it. The atmosphere is very family-like and welcoming. The owner and her staff are always happy to help. Thanks to the social areas it is very easy to get to know fellow-travellers, therefore a clear recommendation for travellers who travel on their own. The hostel is located in a... More
