This is a very fun hostel to hang out in - the layout of the facility, courtyard and bar really make it inviting for guests to congregate and socialize - it was a really happening scene each night. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very "rustic", but cleaned very well every day and everything works. There was even a mini-fridge in the room, which I wasn't expecting. The hostel puts on a themed dinner each night, at a very reasonable cost that usually includes a Caipirinha (or two!). They also organize daily tours and boat trips. Definitely a cut above for a hostel!
