    An experience that you will remember forever, sleeping with the sounds of the jungle and waking up looking at all the lush nature around you. Very relaxing days. Joaquin and Matheus were so nice and the best part was the breakfast! Best one I had in my life, it’s all healthy, vegan and plant based but so tasty and I want to learn to make all the recipes. Different recipes to try every day!

    The Hostel is perfectly placed close to the centrum (10 min walk) but also very calm and because of the forrest so nice. The hosts are the best! They gave me a lot of good recommondations and were very nice, kind and helpful. The breakfast is so lovely and tasty. So many selfmade stuff and served with love and good talk.

    Literally the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff are all absolute legends with heaps of knowledge and stories to share, the breakfast is actually insane, the scenery is beautiful, serenity at all times of day, yoga, jam sessions and the list just goes on and on. Just staying here is an experience in itself, would recommend ((((:

    Amazingly beautiful hostel in the middle of the nature

    The only thing I didn't like was that you can't cook in the kitchen. There's fridges for you to store food and drinks and you can prepare sandwiches and such, but you can't use the stove or the oven.

    Everything was perfect, the hostel is located in the middle of the nature, but without losing any of the commodities you'd have in a city. There's hot water, everything's clean, the vibe is amazing and the bamboo constructions are beautiful! On Tuesday they host a Jam (live music) which I really recommend. The breakfast is amazing, everything's vegan and super nutritious and nourishing. The hostel is absolutely beautiful, completely surrounded by nature.

    Out of a dream setting in the jungle, I stayed in the private bungalow it was a great experience, just the architectural wonder of those bamboo constructions deserve the visit. I can only recommend the hostel. Great breakfast, live music and amazing staff. Also I got offered a special cocktail by one of the owner it was one of the best I’ve ever tried honestly. I would go back any time! Thank you guys

    I really enjoyed my stay there. The location is not very central, but therefore you have the chance to walk through a beautiful forest to reach the hostel. Special mention to the breakfast wich was really exceptional! the Beds were comfy, the place was clean and there were only a few mosquitos.

    Not all electric showers were working.

    Amazing and unique stay in the middle of the jungle! This is probably the best hostel I’ve ever been to. completely eco friendly, vegan breakfast, surrounded by nature and with amazing and welcoming staff. Though walk up to the hostel may seem long at first (10 minutes from the main square), it is always worth it. So nice to see the a different face of Morro. The bed and accommodation areas are spacious and toilets were separated to avoid noise from others. Would definitely return soon.

    It's 20 minutes walk from the beach (which wasn't a problem for me) Just bear in mind this is ideal if you want quite and nature.

    It's a lovely place in contact with nature. Breakfast is delicious (vegan) Staff / Owner are really nice and helpful It's super quite I had the room for myself which was amazing!

    This place is quite unique. If you are interested in staying in a place surrounded by nature with still good standards this is a great option. The breakfast from this hostel is probably the breakfast with the best quality I have ever had and made with excellent ingredients. This is a great choice also for vegans and veggies. Surprisingly, there was no issue with mosquitoes at all. Great staff also, very helpful and supportive.

    the only downside is the rather long way from the city center to the hostel, but I personally think its part of the experience and you get used to the route :)

    This hostel is amazing! It was such a cool experience to sleep in a „tree house“ surrounded by nature. The staff was very accommodating and friendly and the breakfast was delicious (all vegan). I can only recommend!

    The bed was a bit too hard and my room was too warm because of the ventilator not working probably.

    Great atmosphere and amazing nature! Simple yet very comfortable. The breakfast is the best I’ve eaten in Brazil! Homemade, gluten-free, vegan…just delicious! I will miss it so much! The free yoga was great! The staff are very friendly and very relaxed. The place is impressively built and super clean. The Wifi is also the best I had in Brazil!

    The location is a little inconvenient if you want to go back to the hostel during the day or anything. At the time I was there it was very quiet with only 3 other guests staying there so I would recommend staying in peak season instead.

    The hostel itself was lovely and the breakfast was great. I also did the yoga class which I really enjoyed.

    When they say it's a walk, they're not kidding. If you want to stay in the main square late at night or roam first and second beach I wouldn't recommend this hostel. I moved to a closer hostel at the end since I had limited days in Morro.

    The hostel is beautiful and sustainable which I know is the concept. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay (still paid) so I can't fully write a review.

    Its just that little bit far out of town, all the toilets and showers are in different blocks and as it’s in the jungle it’s a pain at night and when it rains. not as social as I would have hoped.

    It’s different, they have craft beer on tap and the staff were great
