Leider enttäuschender Aufenthalt. die lage und mitarbeitenden des Hostels waren gut, jedoch war die Hygiene in Bad und Küche mangelhaft (nasses, teils schmutziges Geschirr wurde eingeräumt). Katzen haben freien Zugang zu Zimmern, Betten und Küche – eine ist nachts sogar ins Bett gekommen. Betten unbequem und schwer zugänglich, die Decken wirkten unhygienisch. Insgesamt nicht empfehlenswert.

Best hostel on the island I think! The dorms are good and enough showers etc for everyone. Very social vibe Only thing is; the top bunks are really hard to get in!

Die Betten waren sehr angenehm, mit Vorhang für Privatsphäre. Sehr gute Location, nicht zu sehr in der Stadtmitte, aber so das alles sehr gut und schnell erreichbar war. Das beste Hostel auf der Insel.

Amazing place!! The staff is so friendly and Roman, the owner, is a great host. It is a very social place as well, it's super easy to meet new people. The backyard and the kitchen are really great and the drinks at the bar are THE best. I had a great time here and would always come back! Thank you Roman!

Ich hatte eine wundervolle Zeit dort! Die Betten sind bequem, haben Licht, ein Regal und einen Vorhang. Der Hinterhof ist wunderschön grün. Aber das beste waren die Leute vor Ort. Man lernt schnell neue Menschen kennen. Danke an Roman und das ganze Team!

Echt heel leuk hostel! De eigenaar is een leuke gast, heel vrolijk en gezellig. Je krijgt je eigen plekje om spulletjes neer te leggen in de keuken, voor broodjes etc, en de koelkast is erg ruim. Hij heeft 4 katten en die vinden het leuk om in je bed te liggen, ik was daar niet zo over te spreken maar als je je gordijntje dichthoudt is dat prima. Leuk hostel en leuke mensen!! Aanrader!

I had an amazing time at Balaio Hostel, the host Roman and his volunteers made sure everyone feels included and were super helpful planning trips, shuttles or your night out. The four cute kittens who also live here, made the place feel like home and gave you a cuddle, sometimes even in your bed. The kitchen also was well equipped.

The best hostel on the island! It has a great atmosphere and you get to meet a lot of amazing people. Román and the staff are super attentive and friendly. They organize many events, so you’re guaranteed to have a great time. The WiFi works well and it’s comfortable and quiet enough if you need to work. I highly recommend it for solo travelers as well because it’s very social and you’ll definitely make friends.

Cute hostel located right in the center of Ilha Grande! Short walk to the beach or to shops/restaurants. Stayed in the 8 bed dorm with Ensuite. Bathroom was cleaned everyday, aircon worked great and they had lockers in room for storage (though didn’t use for my big bag bc I had a top locker). Nice chill patio area to hangout/meet people. A little buggy so bring spray! Roman is the best!!! He throws an event every evening & really brought the vibes of the hostel. Easy to make friends, highly re...
