Stayed here for four nights and so glad we made the effort to get here. It's right on jabaquara beach which is the most beautiful beach in Paraty, the staff are lovely and really helpful. There are great restaurants close by. The vibe of the hostel is chilled and friendly. It's a ten to fifteen minute walk into town but... More

I spent here 4 nights in March and I really regret I haven't stayed more. The structure looks more like a resort than a hostel. High quality food and live music. The staff was amazing. I don't know how many time the owner get me to the centre (15 mins walking) and pick me up, he was the kindest and... More

This place gives me the shivers everytime i think about it! We were given a private room in the back of a huge dorm. We payed a silly amount of money for this cramped dark room. The dorm outside smelled like wee! I am pretty sure somebody just had a wee in the middle of the room. We had to... More

After reading reviews we thought this would be a great hostel to stay in however we were a little disappointed. The website makes it out to be a lot nicer than it actually is. We stayed in a 10 bed mixed dorm - it was meant to be air conditioned but it was only at one end of the room... More

Unfortunately I have nothing positive to say about this place. I found it to be disorganized and dirty, which gives it a very low price/quality rating. The staff was not helpful nor friendly. It seemed as they were also on vacation and did not want to be bothered - although the price was high enough to expect to be treated... More

There is nothing bad I could possibly say about this hostel. My girlfriend and I initially were going to stay for 3 days or so, we ended up here for just over a week. The staff are second to none, they were incredibly helpful, the setting and the hostel itself were out of this world. Very clean, amazing breakfast.... the... More

The staff is great- friendly and each speaks multiple languages- but this is one of the only great things about this hostel. It is hard to outweigh being eaten alive by mosquitoes in the rooms with the good service. The rooms and bathrooms have NO ventilation- our fan was broken. The dark paneled wood mixed with black floors were not... More

It’s a little way out of town, around a ten minute walk from the centre. This is not too much of an issue, as the beachfront location is great – there’s plenty of bars, restuarants etc nearby. The hostel itself has a bar and restaurant that actually feels like a proper bar, not just something that’s been added to a... More

We stayed at the hostel for 8 days and are really happy to have chosen the place! It's a little bit like being at home. The staff is very kind and helpful, rooms are very nice. The construction is almost all made of wood, well planned. Breakfast is made of very fresh ingredients. We arrived from the Hostel yesterday and... More
