    There is no a real hostel vibe..the cleaner many times moved my things in the fridge and also outside..I had to pay more money for her responsibility.

    The location..quality/price..the volunteers are helpful

    There is only two bathrooms so when it gets busy, you have to wait

    Small and tranquil hostel, at 22:00 there is total silence so you can sleep well. Really well equipped kitchen together with the filter for water to drink it from the tap Good hot shower, spacious bathroom Really good wif A lot of Brazilian people, a bit of travellers from abroad Excellent location close to ilha da pescadores, it had the vibe! They rent bikes for 25 Ps there is no smell of fish, don't worry about this ;)

    The dorm was far too small for 7 people & the fan didn’t work so it was extremely hot trying to sleep.

    Property was modern & very clean

    The guests, the volunteers and the owner are friendly! Special thanks to Lohayne, who helped me by speaking English :) Location is good - near supermarkets and the bus stations to go to Paraty or Itamambuca. I stayed one night in the private room, and it's very big and comfy.

    The beaches nearby are a bit disappointing.

    Clean, comfortable, good vibes, great kitchen and terrace, extremely fast WiFi everywhere (beyond 200mb/s). The owners are super friendly. Supermarkets and restaurants within 5 minute walk, good and central location except that the beaches around are a bit disappointing. Overall one of the best Hostels I've seen in Brazil and definitely the best value for money. Happy to come back!

    everything was good.

    I had a great stay at Marujo hostel. The hostel is centraly located and several of the beaches are withing walking distance. The rooms are very clean and well taken care of, and the beds are comfortable. The property has plenty of open space. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful with tourist suggestions. I would stay here again when in Ubatuba.

    The kitchen is very small for the amount of tourists and workaway volunteers. I think because it is main run by the volunteers, and they are there for short time, there is no good vibe from them. They don't interact, barely give some directions. The nearest beach is not appropriate to swim. The location of the hostel is quite far from the city center. I didn't have good experience and I would not recommend this place to stay in Ubatuba.

    The beds were comfy.

    I meant to book for Christmas after someone told me things sell out. I booked the wrong instead but they charged upfront. I wanted to cancel but would have lost the money so decided to try it. The staff were racist, not any other foreign tourists. One especially was glaring at me from the moment I walked in and stared constantly. He was very intimidating. On the second morning he put sugar in the morning coffee and said I can’t make another and when someone else asked he said I can’t speak Spanish or Portuguese and said he didn’t know when I asked which direction the place I wanted to go with. I couldn’t get an Uber. Just as I checked out early 5 men said I need to take my suitcase with as the service ended but I planned to travel in the evening. So I had to make a snap decision and cancel what I wanted to see. I traveled 4 hours in the strongest heat and was very sick, broke my suitcase from the rush and hurt my foot, I could see they looked aggressive so just left. Never has a hostel said you can’t leave a suitcase till your bus, and I always travel in the evening. This accidental booking almost ruined my trip in Brazil. Horrid location even though close to bus station, I booked under panic and left gorgeous Paraty, I arrived in the evening. The hostel I left clearly let me keep my suitcase so for them to claim they don’t allow that was shocking for a backpackers. I and had no working sim and the guy got angry when I asked for help as the app was all Portuguese. I wish I had known no international tourists stay there. Never have I felt so unsafe. Below are pictures of me asking to change dates and the lie that it was 400 for Christmas Eve. He also had no idea wether buses go in brazil on Christmas. Turns out everything but private businesses run. Extremely malicious people

    The hostel is just near the fish market and while the inside smells nice thanks to the incense, the outside areas can get smelly. The private rooms are in the common courtyard and have no windows, so the noise can get a bit problematic from the bathrooms and outside tables.

    Clean hostel, nice and efficient staff.
