+ I loved my stay here at Roots Family! This was my first time solo traveling & they made me feel so warm and welcomed. I stayed for 2 weeks & the hostel definitely felt like home away from home!

- The only thing I would say that I didn't like is something the hostel has no control over... The neighbors partied most nights, pretty late into the evening. I suggest bringing headphones or earplugs.

+ La cama de la habitación compartida es muy cómoda, con ventilador individual y placarcito. El hostel es muy lindo y acojedor. La onda es chill, con sus pro y contras, si querés estar tranquilo está bien, si querés sociabilizar no es el lugar.

- Es todo abierto por lo que se escucha mucho el ruido de afuera por la noches. A veces es demasiado chill, nadie habla con nadie, hasta el personal va con auriculares puestos.

Muito mau

actual hot showers!! havent had a hot shower in 2 months so this was great. beds were comfy, you get a mosquito net which is needed which is handy. you grt a big storage cupboard in each bed (bit of a nightmare getting to it with the mosquito net up tho), great location a few minutes walk from everything. beaches are a further walk away. not hugely social, but a nice vibe. some sweet cats roaming around the place. would stay again!
