Roupa de cama estava fedendo, tive picadas pelo corpo, no começo achei que fosse de borrachudos, mesmo passando repelente a todo momento, mas na terceira noite me dei conta que foi de percevejos devido a sequência das picadas, o quarto é muito quente.
Vibe Analysis
A tour agency sits inside the hostel, making this a practical base for Chapada Diamantina hikes, day trips, and Vale do Pati treks. It is especially useful before and after multi-day walking routes, with staff support, tour planning on site, and luggage help possible around trips. The hostel is close to the center of Lencois, near the main square, market, and bus station. The setup is simple but functional: two equipped kitchens, social areas, outdoor spaces, hill views, and breakfast available for an extra fee. The vibe can swing between friendly and social or calm and tired-out, depending on who is around and how many hikers are recovering. It is more of an outdoorsy basecamp than a party hostel, though it can still be easy to meet other backpackers. Comfort is basic in places. Dorms may be hot, fans can be loud or weak, and mattresses vary. Cleanliness is generally fine but not flawless, with bathrooms a recurring weak spot.
