Balaio Hostel 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

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:)

Staff, location and the vibe of the hostel

- Well located - Enjoyed the hammocks and appreciated the kitchen facilities - Nice common front area

- Construction outside our room woke us up, was very dusty, loud, and staff didn’t care to notify us or apologize about this. This also meant half of the common area wasn’t accessible or usable and didn’t give the relaxing island vibes we paid for. - When we brought this up with the front of house, we were told to speak to Roman about this – however, he was never available to speak to, and the only time we saw him he was drinking. It didn’t feel like we could speak to him about this and be taken seriously. - A kitten was kept in a box just outside our room, so all we could hear was its crying throughout the night and in the morning.
