Guest Reviews

• Miro (5/5): Unpleasant dealing with anyone who doesn’t arrive with you during check in - Relaxing place, good view, beds and room cleaned everyday Be warned if you buy a 3 person room and intend on having 3 people staying there will be problems with the staff. Me and my friend stayed but anytime one of us had a guest we had to pay for an extra person which was the cost of the night stay including extra for weekends. The staff will also intentionally make it uncomfortable for the guest
• Arnaud (10/5): - La nature, comme a la Maison
• stella (10/5): un paradiso nella natura vicinissimo al centro, host molto accogliente. Ho amato i gattini😊 - posizione tranquilla ma vicinissima al centro, accoglienza, ambiente dell’hostel
• L (8/5): Sympa mais rustique - La localisation dans la jungle, le calme, l’ambiance « petite famille », les petits déjeuners vue mer La gérante n’est pas toujours très sympathique. Je suis arrivée 30min avant le Check in et même si mon lit était disponible cela a fait des histoires … La chambre etait très chaude la nuit malgré le ventilateur
• Guy (1/5): -
• Tiffany (5/5): Fine for very short term - Location was great and there was a lovely shared communal area. Shower was hot and bathroom was spacious Bed privacy was very rustic and uncomfortable and not very well considered. Rooms felt stuffy and no space for belongings at all. I had peoples bags and dirty laundry stacked on top of mine because there was no space. There was also no where to leave luggage pre check-in and post check out, which is very inconvenient for travelling. Its a chill hostel so not great for socialising so book that in mind if you are solo.
• valeriaevangelistas (10/5): - A natureza que envolve o espaço é muito renovadora. Tudo muito organizado e acolhedor.
• Ricky (8/5): nice place to have some quite time at - really chill hostel, with cats and a nice atmosphere dorm only has one fan and get pretty warm
• Camille (10/5): -
• Ido (10/5): -
• Wirth (8/5): Netter Empfang, luftige Terrasse, schöner Blick. - Schön luftig es Terrasse Dusche ist eine Zumutung. Kein Nachttisch. Keine Kaffeemaschine.
• Rocco (10/5): -
• Glynnelle (10/5): -
• Júlia (10/5): Muito boa - Estadia maravilhosa! Tudo limpo, confortável e em meio à natureza. Localização excelente e anfitriã muito solícita. Com certeza voltarei! 🌿✨
• Rogerio (10/5): Deixou sdd - Atendimento
• Joe (10/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): -
• Tárcia (10/5): queeero sempre - das plaantas, da larica( a gatinha senhora do hostel), do espaço em si, é muuuito único😍 e da Ceci que sempre me acolhe muito beem e é muito atenciosa! nada se enquadra
• simone (10/5): It’s simply perfect. The perfect spot in Itacare. Location is top, in the city but within the nature. I was supposed to - Everything. It’s simply perfect. The perfect spot in Itacare. Location is top, in the city but within the nature. I was supposed to stay for only a couple of nights I decided to stay for 10. Cecilia the host is extremely helpful and nice to spend time with. J highly reccomend this to everyone. Best place in itacare.
• Raná (6/5): -
• Galene (1/5): Invasion de fourmis volantes et propriétaire désagréable. - La jeune fille argentine qui est sûrement là en volontariat et qui fait très bien son travail ! La propriétaire est hautaine, dès le premier jour ses réponses étaient hautaines et condescendantes. De plus nous avons eût une invasion de centaines de fourmis volantes (due à la tempête de la veille) et j'ai appelé la propriétaire qui était super désagréable au téléphone et disait que c'était un phénomène naturel (certe) mais ne proposait aucunes solutions car la jeune fille argentine n'était pas présente (et elle-même ne souhaitant sûrement pas gérer cela) et donc une autre cliente a dû aller acheter du produit et j'ai du pulvériser le produit moi-même. (Voir photos ci-jointes). Heureusement la jeune fille qui travaille la et arrivée et à fait le nettoyage (que je m'apprêtais à commencer car dormir la était impossible). J'ai travaillé en hôtellerie et j'ai beaucoup voyagé et ceci n'est pas une façon de gérer un problème aussi gros avec vos clients.
• Julieta (6/5): -
• Ann-Kathrin (10/5): Dreamlike, Peaceful and Natural Place ✨ - A dreamlike place! I was longing for peace and nature, and my expectations were exceeded! You find yourself surrounded by nature with a great variety of plants. It’s also perfect for anyone who needs to work on the side during their stay. I was welcomed very warmly and immediately extended my stay for three more days. The host responds quickly and effortlessly to any needs. The house feels more like a shared home than a hostel, which gives it an even more comfortable living atmosphere. The shared bathroom is spacious, and the kitchen is great for preparing meals. There is a long staircase leading up to the house — very beautiful, as it takes you right into nature — but people with limited mobility should keep this in mind. The host has put a lot of work and love into the accommodation. I would definitely book again! It was also very clean, and everything was cleaned daily!
• Vitor (10/5): Muito tranquilo! - Ligar muito aconchegante e tranquilo. Muito completo o hostel em estrutura
• denise (9/5): -
• Myrian Victoria (10/5): - Me gustó la limpieza y energía del lugar ! Rodeado de árboles gigantes y el viento increíble ! Sin duda volvería a este hostel
• Darlan (6/5): Você tem o que paga - A localização é muito boa, achei silencioso, funcionários simpáticos, bastante área aberta pra estudar e trabalhar,dá pra ver o mar , meu quarto tinha 3 camas, porém só uma tinha mosqueteiro (mas tinha). Ventilador funcionava muito bem. Bastante plantas e arvores no local. É a regra do hostel nao usar sandália/sapatos dentro de casa o que é um problema porque o séu pé fica sujo e se voce tiver sensibilidade é um problema. No anúncio dizia que o quarto com suíte tinha cozinha privativa o que de fato não era verdade. Conversamos com a funcionária e ela disse que nao tinha sido ela que fez a descricao e que eles iriam consertar (consertaram minutos depois da nossa conversa),porém o motivo principal de termos reservado o quarto foi esperando uma cozinha/utencilios privativa. Por causa disso, tivemos que usar a única cozinha do hostel que é compartilhada. Outra coisa, se voce tiver dificuldade de locomocao é importante repensar essa acomodacao porque precisa subir uma ladeira bem íngreme
• Fernando (10/5): - Amei a localização, uma rua atrás da rua principal, tem tudo perto. Fácil acesso às praias. Sem contar que é num espaço com muita natureza que faz você esquecer que está numa cidade. Tem momentos que você só escuta o canto dos pássaros e do vento nas árvores. De fato um Hostel Zen. Todo o ambiente te proporciona paz e descanso. Os detalhes, livros brasileiros, as frases, a decoração. Tudo muito limpo. O silêncio na casa. Não é muito cheio. Anfitriões muito acolhedores e solícitos. E a gatinha, Larica, muito fofa. Tudo que eu precisava pra esse período em Itacaré. Voltarei mais vezes. Eu conversei com a anfitriã, muito simpática e acolhedora. Amei que ela foi conversar comigo e se despedir. Adorei a conversa, ela comentou sobre o que gostaria de acrescentar na casa pra melhoria. Então não tenho algo a mencionar sobre o que não gostei porque sei que ela tá ciente das coisas que eu falaria aqui. Ela disse sobre colocar som de vibrações pela casa. Mas nada que atrapalhe o som natural externo. Acrescentar mais livros e outros detalhes. Mas recomendo gente. Se você é zen, meio hippie, gosta de paz e sossego no meio da natureza, esse lugar é perfeito.
• Boni (1/5): - Nada Cheguei frente na porta do hostel nas 13h.Pedi se podia entrar deixar minhas malas até o check out pelo whats app.Nem me abriram a porta nem aceitaram.Pedi então por o cancelamento sem custo. Negaram. Adverti que ia a deixar uma avaliação explicando o ocorrido mas me responderam que não se importava.Depois enviaram um mensagem pelo aplicativo dizendo que se podia deixar a mala pagando. Eu podia ter cancelado pagando so 30 per cent de multa, mas nao fiz porque,Já para mim não é mais uma questão de dinheiro, nunca em 10 anos de viaje e 300 hoteis foi tratado com tão desrespeito por uma reserva que já paguei por pessoas que me deixaram frente na porta sem abriram, dizendo me que nem se importava das avaliações que a gente podem deixar..Não recomendo ficar num hotel onde não tem nem o básico de respeito pelos clientes que os pagam.
• Max (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (8/5): Incredibly fun and relaxed time with the other people! - Great location, very quiet to get away from the parties. Very nice people there, very cool nap hammocks! Greenery and view a great plus as well. Near a lot of beaches that you can walk to and restaurants as well Some bugs, but not too much of an issue.
• Jacob (9/5): Superb -
• Leonardo (7/5): Good -
• Francesca (2/5): Not great - Juan was lovely and the location was great It wasn’t clean, the water didn’t work for 24 hours (still didn’t work when we checked out), the room was stuffy and no lighting, no air con, definitely were given a downgrade of a room or not as advertised
• Sophie (7/5): Beautiful enchanted garden, amazing staff! - Beautiful garden, located amongst its own little jungle. Great vibe and Juan is an incredible, kind and friendly host - thank you Juan for making our stay so full of energy and for being an awesome person :) common areas are nice, cute cat, nice hammocks! The pictures are a little misleading - it’s a nice place but it’s definitely more simple and worn out than in the photos. The price could be better as a result. Also, Nothing to do with the hostel itself, but if you stay over the weekend, beware that the town parties until 5am and it’s pretty loud.
• Celine (10/5): Exceptional - It's a beautiful, peaceful place where you feel like home. Very nice atmosphere and Juan is very welcoming and a great host. Everything was perfect :)
• Kara (9/5): Superb - It was a beautiful and peaceful place to stay, good facilities, friendly staff The only problem was when there were strong winds and rain outside the rain came in through a broken window, but I moved the bed and this was okay
• Paul (10/5): A beautiful, familial experience. - I booked this place last minute based off of the reviews - and let me tell you, it was an amazing experience. So much so that I stayed for 8 nights. It was like living with a little family, in an oasis away from the chaos, but also very near the village. I would highly recommend you stay here. The volunteers are so lovely and the owner Cecilia is amazing. We all socialised together which I really loved. If you like to connect with people - but don’t want a ‘party-party’ hostel - this is the place for you. I felt very loved after spending a week here.
• Lea (10/5): Exceptional - The energy at this place is amazing, it feels like a little paradise to relax. The view is amazing! It’s a simple place but wonderful! I extended my stay because it was so peacefully
• Charles (10/5): Like being transported to another dimension, but close to each and town center. - Casa na Floresta is a very special and unique place. It is an oasis of trees in the middle of the city. The house is charming and the staff really cares about the people like it is more than a job. The beds are super comfy and the common areas are clean and charming. Very nice views of the ocean.
• Alessandra (10/5): Home away from home, thank you Lucas! - I was looking for a central location, next to all the bars and restaurants and the good beaches (praia de Resende etc...), but also immersed in nature, and this place was just perfect. The hostel itself is cozy and not too big, so that you can quickly get to know the other guests. Lucas, the guy running the place, was the real added value since he took care of everything, always with a smile on his face. He even prepared a thermos of coffee every morning for everybody:) So if you are looking for a simple yet clean place with a good vibe, you won't find a better deal. Among the offered options I would recommend the suite, if it's available. Mattresses would need to be changed.
• Daniel (8/5): Very good - Spacious, clean room close to the main walking street. Shower is fine. WiFi is fine. Some nice social areas but relaxed atmosphere. I would stay again. Noise from the main street until after 3 am. Pretty sure they downgraded me to the wrong room. Bell at the street doesn't work so you need to WhatsApp them to let you enter.
