8.0 / 10.0
Good central location. Staff were also really helpful and helped book transfers back to Rio. The rooms (floors and bathroom) were swept daily. Communal areas and kitchen were also cleaned daily. Kitchen oven didn’t work but the place did have an air fryer to make up for it. If you’re an animal lover, the hostel has plenty of cats and a dog for you to pet
The kitchen doors were locked at 10. I understand that cooking was not allowed but the kitchen was the only place with a water filter which meant you couldn’t fill up your water bottle if you were coming back from a night out

The staff were very very friendly and helpful as soon as we arrived. The hostel was very clean and had a good chill area.
The only issue we had was the comfort of the beds as the mattresses was quite thin.

Great staff, clean kitchen and rooms, hot water, lovely cats, nice seating areas
Smoking area a bit too close to the dorm doors. More of an issue when it rains and the smoke and smell is trapped. Maybe provide umbrellas for smokers to smoke beyond the hostel gate? Would be fun to have social activities.

Great location 3 minute walk to beach. Supermarket within 200 yards.
Hostel is very clean, beds are comfortable.
Great chilling area to talk to fellow backpackers.
No lock on main room door, definitely needs curtains on beds , no bed light for reading or a bit off privacy. Lights in landing area need to be dimmed at night as guest who enter late evening the room lights up like an airport runway.

Extremely friendly staff! Great strong coffee!
Beautiful common area with great music! Very clean! Kitchen has everything you need! I like that the bottom bed was high enough to sit comfortably. I would have definitely extended if they would not close down for general improvement (which again shows how much they care about giving the guest a great stay) :) loved it here!

The hostel is quite big, having multiple dorms on the second floor. It has an outdoor area with roofs, and a kitchen, which were always available to sit, work, or chat with other guests, although not being overly spacious. There are power plugs available for every bed, as well as plenty of them in the communal areas.
The receptionists (especially David) were so nice, and polite, always being available, and helpful. You can also book boat tours at the reception.
The location is great, you reach the town center in 3 minutes and the nearest beach in 5 minutes.
The kitchen, rooms, and communal areas have everything one needs. Towels are available for rent.
Notice that there can be power cuts, which seem to be quite frequent on the island. There was no electricity for at least 6 hours during my stay, so I recommend taking that into account.
The beds are a bit hard, as the mattresses are thin.

The staff was super friendly!!
No individual lights for the beds, no mirror in the room, nowhere to put your water bottle/ book/ medicine if you are on the top bunker, all towels the same color (so they get mixed up in the room), not enough storage per person in the room, no hair dryer nor umbrella in the hostel to borrow. Plus I paid 50 reais more in a day tour then the rest of the people on my boat because I bought it in the hostel reception.

This is a great hostel for a short stay in Ilha Grande, Staff was very friendly and always willing to help. Kitchen is well equipped and common spaces are comfortable. Rooms were big, with private toilets and showers that were cleaned every day.
Location is perfect, walking distance from the main attractions of the island. You can book day trips, rent snorkel equipment and book your trip back to Rio from the hostel front desk at very convenient rates.
Some days were too hot and AC could have been turned on earlier. Some guests were rude and noisy and there was nothing you can do about it, but in the end it is not the hostels fault.

As per other reviews, everything is new and clean and it feels like a lot of care has gone into the set-up of the hostel. Sidney is an absolute sweetheart - really went out of her way to be helpful and assist with whatever the guests needed. Overall a really nice atmosphere which made for a very pleasant stay.
Nothing really - only small gripe was being charged 10R for a towel but not a big deal

The rooms are super clean and modern & the beds are comfy. The staff here are so kind and helpful which made all the difference to me and my friend. Location is good too, just 3/4 minutes walk from the main strip but far enough to not be disrupted with any outside noises.
The bathroom is quite small and we didn’t love that the AC is on a timer, but would definitely stay here again regardless.

Excellent hostel! The cleanest one I've ever seen - probably cleaner than your house ;-) Very friendly staff, easy to meet people, close to the "ferry" and everything in town.

Clean clean clean. Good layout. Extremely helpful front desk. Plenty of morning coffee. Was able to take some business calls in the bar area.
Biggest upgrade would be a nice pan in the kitchen. Nothing actual bad here.

The whole stuff that made me feel like home ,very helpful and always around ! Very clean as well ! The stuff are cleaning the rooms on a daily basis ! Also if love animals the terrace will embrace you with some lovely cats and Louis the dog !
Even if I would do like to do constructive criticism I can’t find something…. maybe curtains for more privacy , but you can easily hang a towel over the bed and make your own privacy if you want to.

Superb staff (Chiara was superhelpful!).
Very clean rooms, kitchen and meeting spaces, quiet location at 5min walk from the noisy "center".
There was no bar or beers. You need to bring your own staff

The hostel meets all expectations and beyond ! Perseu is host and life of the hostel together with rest of the people who work at Lila Limao. He goes the extra mile and makes you not want me to leave the place. I did and for sure I will be back ❤️
Nothing, Lila Limeo gets how it’s done.

I so so so enjoyed my stay! I never really write reviews, but this time I said I would do it as I liked it so much. the staff and the family are incredibly kind, the rooms have a good size and the bathroom is en-suite, with an extra shower option out of the room as well. the wi-fi internet is fast and the kitchen is amazing. my favourite place in Brazil so far!
if there’s one thing I would add, it’s a sheet for the blanket they provide for the beds, giving just that extra bit of hygiene, but that’s all!

Sophie has thought of everything at this hostel. It is tidy, spacious and super clean, the shower is hot and the wifi is good. The hostel offers free water all day and free coffee in the mornings. The staff were so helpful and went out of their way to help us with busses and offer advice and recommendations.
The location was great and it had a very warm family feel. We loved the cats and dog!
We loved it. Only thing that would have been nice is a comfortable sofa to relax but I know they team at Lila Limao have lots of plans for the future so I’m sure a well thought out “chilling” area is on its way.

The owners were lovely and very helpful. Great bed and a good night's sleep!
You can hear the outside very well so depends how lightly you sleep could be an issue.
