Guest Reviews
- Ignacio (6/5): Esta bien pero no volveria. - El lugar esta bien, no tuve una buena experiencia por que la habitacion que me toco esta en el centro del hostel, las ventanas daban al lugar de reunion y un sabado a la noche se complico mucho lograr que la gente deje de hacer ruido cerca. Pero si vas en un modo mas de joda, seguro esta bien. El ruido a la noche, complicado dormir bien un sabado.
- Amy (7/5): -
- Emilie (10/5): Good vibes in Ilha Grande - Very nice common areas, good bar, great staff and good vibes Breakfast would be nice! The shared kitchen gets crowded in the morning
- Nikolay Kirilov (10/5): - Clean and comfortable, well-located hostel. Staff is great, very friendly and helpful in booking tours around the island. The common area is really nice. Good internet connection both in the room and outside. Lockers don't have locks, but you can buy one nearby
- Charlotte (9/5): Best hostel on ilha grande - one of the best hostels i’ve stayed in - the courtyard is the perfect place to chill and meet people. they always have good music playing in the evening, a fire going and a good bar. the staff were very friendly too. be aware that if you book a boat tour through the hostel they charge a 25% commission, so it’s just better to book direct.
- Fernando (10/5): - Todo
- Paulo (10/5): - Da equipe, da atenção, da limpeza e a localização (para brasileiros: é um lugar com muitos estrangeiros, aproveite para praticar o seu inglês) Tudo foi perfeito. Sem nenhuma reclamação a acrescentar
- Sandra (9/5): -
- Alicia (9/5): - Staff were so helpful and kind, the outdoors area is great to chill in and kitchen really clean
- Maite (10/5): Si vuelvo a Ilha (que volveré),, vuelvo a este hostel - Muy buena onda. Hay espacio para fogón y musiquita durante la tarde, ideal para una estadía tranquila con otros viajeros
- Charles (9/5): -
- Igor (9/5): -
- Nadine (7/5): Sociaal hostel op een goede locatie - Locatie is ideaal en er is een gezellige sfeer! De badkamers zijn wat verouderd
- clemence (10/5): - Très bonne auberge, à la fois chill pour le repos mais propice aux rencontres et avec une bonne ambiance.
Elle est très bien placée, confortable et propre. Les rideaux pour plus d'intimité sont un vrai plus ! Le personnel est super sympa et très aidant pour votre séjour
- Lis (10/5): - A organização e limpeza do hostel são excelentes, com banheiros sempre limpos. A área comunitária externa é muito agradável e os funcionários são atenciosos. O melhor ponto são as cortinas em cada cama das beliches, fazendo com que o espaço se torne bem privativo dentro do quarto, e ainda possui uma prateleira com 2 tomadas ao lado de cada cama. A experiência foi excelente, pretendo retornar.

- Chloe (10/5): Great place to stay! - Loved my stay here, staff were really friendly! Literally a 5 minute walk to the beach, loads of cafes / restaurants/ laundry in the close area. Beds were super comfy, with curtains for privacy and clean bathrooms! I would definitely stay here again:)
- Remi (10/5): - Super accueil, bonne ambiance, convivial. Des sanitaires en plus en dehors des dortoirs.
Des activités pour socialiser, des conseils pour les balades. Tout est beau

- Sosa (10/5): Hostel muy gustoso - Me gustó todo.
La amabilidad y disponibilidad para todo. Los servicios, orden, limpieza y estructura. El clima de convivencia y las iniciativas animando a sumarse. El mejor asador, Roman. Excelente ubicación. El jardín muy brasileño así como la música y la caipiriña...
Para volver. Nada. Difícil encontrar algo malo. En presencia es mas que en las fotos
- Melanie (10/5): - It was very near to all the activities
- Sanne (10/5): Geweldig! - Een super leuk en gezellig hostel, gelegen op een top locatie in Abraão. Roman en zijn team doen er alles aan, om je verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken.
- Dor (10/5): אווירה מדהימה בהוסטל עם מלא מקומות ישיבה - השירות של רומן המארח הייתה מדהימה!!
- Nikita (10/5): - Best hostel and best host on the most amazing island of the world
- Charlotte (10/5): - Very nice atmosphere in the hostel and very social. Roman & the others are really happy to help you with anything. Location is amazing.

- Yehonatan (10/5): - קודם כל מעבר לזה שהמקום נראה טוב ומאוד נקי, קיבלנו את המארחים הכי טובים שיש, סנטיאגו ורומן, היה לנו מאוד כיף, מומלץ בחום. הכל היה מעולה, לא היה שום דבר רע.
- Phyllis (10/5): Fijn verblijf bij Balaio! Aanrad34 - Gezellige sfeer in het hostel met dank aan Roman en Santiago. Ze namen ons op pad en brachten veel gezelligheid. Hostel is prima en hygiënisch. Leuk barretje waar je savonds aan kan zitten. Ruimte van kamer is kleiner, je kan je backpack wat minder kwijt. Maar dat neem je voor lief.
- Zoé (10/5): - Auberge chouette et bien placée, Santiago et tout le personnel de l’hôtel étaient très cool.
- Itay (9/5): - The bbq evenings, vibes, cleanliness, beds Not many bathrooms, they were usually occupied
- Yohji (9/5): Conforto a agradável - Ambiente Não tinha geladeira no quarto
- Andrea Natali (1/5): -
- Ariel Germán (10/5): Isla con Amigos!!! - Todo, pero la atención del personal (Santiago, Leif, Taina, Luca, etc. etc.) de otro planeta. Super atentos y buena onda!!!

- Giovana (1/5): Ruim - O único ponto positivo é a localização. No entanto, o local é bastante desorganizado, o gerente não apresenta soluções, há grandes teias de aranha nas camas superiores e o ar-condicionado não está funcionando. Falta total de organização e respeito. Paguei duas camas, uma para mim e outra para o meu namorado, e quando chegamos para dormir havia outra pessoa ocupando uma delas. Fomos obrigados a dormir os dois na mesma cama, mesmo tendo pago por duas. Ninguém resolveu a situação. Além disso, um calor insuportável. Nunca mais.
- Hugo (9/5): -
- Luciana (9/5): - Las chicas del personal son lo más. Todxs muy simpaticos y disponibles. Excelente para viajar solx y conocer.

- Morgann (8/5): Bon hostel à Abraão, perfectible - La localisation de l'hostel est parfaite, à proximité du front de mer et des commerces, tout en étant dans une rue calme. Le patio est très agréable, avec des hamacs pour se poser. Notre chambre privée était très propre. Nous avons été très bien accueillies par le staff. Etant arrivées avant l'horaire de check-in, nous avons pu poser nos sacs et nous balader en toute tranquilité. Le prix était ok pour une chambre privative (moins chère que la plupart des établissements de Abraão à cette période de l'année). J’ai trouvé l’hostel assez désordonné, avec du matériel de construction qui traînait dans plusieurs espaces communs. Il y a notamment un espace couvert juste devant la chambre privative, qui pourrait être très agréable, mais qui faisait en réalité office à la fois de salle de sport improvisée, d’annexe de la buanderie et de lieu de vie pour les chats (très mignons par ailleurs). L’ensemble donnait une impression de manque d’organisation.
La musique était diffusée en continu toute la journée jusqu’à 23h, à un volume assez élevé, audible depuis notre chambre située à l’arrière. J'apprécie tous les styles musicaux qui sont passés, dont le funk, mais un après-midi, du funk aux paroles très vulgaires, notamment envers les femmes, a été passé. Mon amie et moi parlant portugais, nous avons demandé que la musique soit changée. Il nous a été répondu que « personne ici ne comprenait les paroles » (la plupart des clients étaient des femmes étrangères, comme nous), ce à quoi nous avons répondu que nous, si. La musique a finalement été changée, sans insister davantage.
En résumé, cet hostel a un réel potentiel, mais gagnerait à être mieux organisé et à bénéficier d’un encadrement plus clair du staff (qui était très sympathique et accueillant par ailleurs), notamment concernant les espaces communs et l’ambiance sonore.
- Dominika (9/5): Green, quiet oasis on Ihla Grande - Great garden hostel with a little courtyard and hang-out area with hammocks. Small bar too, where you can buy beers and drinks. The staff are very chilled and laid-back. There could be a bit more space in the dorms for backpacks and stuff. Also, the two bathrooms were often busy.
- Colin (10/5): - Top
- Beatriz (10/5): -
- Gustavo (9/5): - Ótima localização, vibe muito boa. Fiquei em um quarto para 8 pessoas, com banheiro, ar condicionado e ventilador. As camas tinham cortinas individuais, prateleira, lâmpada e tomada. Os lockers eram espaçosos e a limpeza feita diariamente. A cozinha era muito bem equipada. O staff muito simpáticos e solícitos. Foi uma ótima experiência e eu com certeza retornaria ao hostel.
- Christian (9/5): -
- Przemysław (10/5): -
- Ederson (10/5): Conforto e tranquilidade - hostel com uma vibe muito boa, um jardim central patio area de descanso lindo e confortavel. Tem uns gatinhos lindos , um hostel com petz deixa o ambiente mais confortavel e acolhedor.
- Melina (10/5): Ótimo custo benefício - Ótima localização, quarto limpo, funcionários cordiais e solícitos. Nada

- Filipe (8/5): O hostel é simples, mas simpático. Fica a poucos minutos do pier e do centrinho. - Cama boa Poderia oferecer café da manhã, já que são poucas opções na ilha.
- Rafael (10/5): Simpatia dos funcionários - Localização e receptividade de toda equipe. Locker para guardar roupas/mochila.
- tania (8/5): - Perto das barcas ,banheiro limpo,lugar simples mas simpático! Muito barulho a noite
- Marco (10/5): -
- Bruno (10/5): - Fabulous place, good ambiance, a bar, the team
- Donnet (10/5): - Afuera tienen un patio lindo con muchos lugares para sentarse y un bar, se volvió punto de encuentro para un grupo que armamos y muchos no eran del hostel pero podían estar ahí
Las camas super comodas y silenciosas, tenian cortinas y cambian sabanas y frazadas todos los dias, se podia dormir muy bien
- Vanessa (7/5): -
- Elena (10/5): Genial - Está muy bien situado. El personal era encantador y muy buen ambiente. A pesar de estar rodeado de vegetación, estaba todo muy limpio y sin bichos. Recomendable 100% Nada
- Lucas (9/5): Voltarei com certeza. Neif e Roman fazem tudo ficar melhor. - Área comum muito agradável. Passei uma tarde nas redes com muitos pássaros e área verde agradável com um barzinho Achei difícil o acesso a cama superior do beliche. Qualquer pequena difículdade motora impossível
- YASMIN (10/5): -
- catalina (10/5): - Me encanto el ambiente que se generaba en las áreas comunes y la preocupación de Roman para que todos se sintieran cómodos Un poco sucios los baños
- Jahlani (9/5): Met some great people. A very inclusive hostel. - I liked the community that was at this hostel. They had frequent evening activities and we're very inclusive. The beds.
- Margherita (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! We chose a private room with a private bathroom, and everything was clean and very comfortable. The hostel has a beautiful garden and an outdoor kitchen where you can meet and spend time with other travelers.
The staff are all young, friendly, and welcoming. They even organized a BBQ dinner night, which was a lot of fun. The bar serves delicious caipirinhas, and they also arrange boat tours around the island.
If you’re looking for a great place to share your adventure, meet new people, and have fun, this is definitely the place to stay! We were sad we couldn't stay any longer!
- Leon (9/5): -
- Christian (7/5): Nice until the end, but sadly a bad ending. - Nice atmosphere, helpful & nice staff and sometimes they make a barbecue or a bone fire. They have good kitchen equipment and plenty of showers and toilets. The last day a buddy of mine cooked at 2am. There was a discussion between the staff and him, whether he could cook now or not. He didn’t care and boiled some water and poured them over his instant noodles. Afterwards he asked me, if I want some too and I said yes. When we talked, we only whispered.
A few minutes later the staff come by and told us both “You guys need to leave tomorrow, you understand”
The next day I checked out and asked if I could leave my bags (like every other visitor before) and they told me “no, you need to pay the late checkout fee”.
I get that cooking that late in the night is not the nicest thing, but kicking me out as well and making me carry my luggage around the island the next day is a bit much, isn’t it?
- Ludiana (10/5): -
- Angela (10/5): - Todo! Un ambientazo durante el día y la noche. Mucha gente joven y se conoce gente constantemente.
- Priscila (10/5): Es un excelente lugar para quedarse y pasar tiempo relajado, tiene un patio hermoso y las reglas del hostal se respetan. - Me encantó el patio Todo estaba bien
- Priscila da Silva (7/5): - A localização é ótima. É até complicado falar...
- Joshua (10/5): -
- Hasan Hüseyin (8/5): Cozy place, good people - Warm place, warm people. Good hostel at the main village of island. Roman, Leif and remaining crew was very helpful for everything. There was a good community in the common area. Feeling pretty good for a very short visit. Toilets felt a bit dirty but it can be expected to feel for shared toilets.
- Christian (10/5): Excelente hostal - Muy bien ambiente y muy lindo el hostal. Super ubication en el lindo pueblo de Abraão. El personal estuvo super amable. Me sentía muy comodo ahi. Lo recomiendo al 100%!
- Marthaler (10/5): Días de puro disfrute, el dueño organiza churrasco e incentiva planes para compartir - La vibra del hostel. Las personas que trabajan allí son encantadoras. Además el huésped del hostel es un público viajero internacional en busca de amistades alrededor del mundo 🌎 Personas con ganas de compartir y pasar un buen rato 🙌 hay noche de tragos y churrasco 🥳 Estaría bueno tener un lugar más cómodo para poner cosas personales.
- Omorinsola (10/5): Love. Best hostel in ilha grandee - Chill vibes lovely people and the cutest cat Shower Water too hot but everything else is bon
- Arnau (7/5): -
- Salomé (10/5): Ouyeah - C’est de loin le meilleur Hotel que j’ai fait de tout mon séjour au Brésil. Parfait si vous voyagez seul ou avec des amis, le Balaio vous fera vous sentir comme chez vous pendant votre séjour, l’équipe est vraiment génial ( Romàn ou Leif vous fera boire vos meilleurs caïpi , je vous laisse voir lequel des deux fait les meilleurs 😉) . C’est vraiment le lieux Parfait si vous voulez rencontrez des gens , et si jamais vous vous poser tranquillement et faire vos trucs, vous pouvez toujours vous poser dans un des hamacs dans la cour . Il y a souvent des soirées qui sont organisées qui permettent à tous les voyageurs de se rencontrer. Personnellement ilha Grande et le Balaio aurais pu être pour moi un tunnel qui dure six mois, mais toute bonne chose on une fin , et j’ai déjà hâte d’y retourner !
- María Inés (8/5): -
- Ana Claudia (9/5): - Foi ótima e experiência com a equipe e os outros hóspedes. Somente a 5 minutos da praia, sem ladeiras, próximo ao supermercado. Fiquei hospedada na acomodação mista com 8 camas e cortina e foi ótimo. As camas eram ótimas, a roupa de cama limpa e de qualidade, banheiro com chuveiro quente e super limpo. O espaço comum super agradável e aconchegante. Um beijo especial a Talita e Anna que foram super queridas conosco. É o lugar perfeito para conhecer pessoas diferentes e se divertir. Não havia toalha inclusa na acomodação, cobrando uma taxa de 10 reais no aluguel. Acho OK, mas poderia estar explícito no anúncio para levar, tendo em vista que a maior parte das acomodações oferece.
- Irene (10/5): - La estancia en balaio fue perfecta. Las instalaciones y el personal voluntario fueron muy acogedores y nos ayudaron en todo lo que necesitábamos mi amiga y yo. Sin duda alguna si quieres conocer Ilha grande, balaio debería formar parte d esa experiencia
- Claudia (10/5): -
- Guilherme (10/5): Melhor hostel da ilha grande! - Quarto compartilhado muito bem organizado Excelente acomodação
