Location was good . When we arrived the staff kindly put us in an apartment a little further up the street from the hostel. We hadn't booked this but was thankful as the apartment had more room. However, as there was no fridge we still had to use the main hostel. The language barrier was evident even though staff spoke English I think the understanding was an issue . But they tried to help when they could. We were advised by one staff that the area was not safe after late hrs but we found the area to be well policed and didn't stay out until early hrs of the morning..latest by 12pm and felt safe.

Noisy due to dogs barking in the other apartment early morning. Poor cleanliness in the apartment

Staff was friendly and there was a good kitchen. Location close to the beach but far from other sights in Salvador.

It was honestly one of the worst hostel experiences i had. It was not always the fault of the hostel, but i had three horrible nights of sleep. People talking loud in the dorm in the middle of the night or early morning, turning on the lights, making phone calls on speaker when you are already sleeping, sending voice notes at 7:30 in the morning. And they just laugh at you or ignore you when you are saying something and keep doing it. Never had so many ignorent people in one hostel. Also the air conditioning is freezing. When I was staying in the hostel there were almost only portuguese speaking guests, so there was not really a social vibe for international travelers.

Everything was more than perfect! I have been at this accommodation few times and I sued to feel as at home.

wonderful staff, sweet people staying at the hostel, great lounge area and puppy. rooms even had ac. super close to the beach!

Location is very convenient. Good shared areas.

The room pics from my booking confirmation were not from the room in which I slept. In the pics there were some nice 6 beds and I ended up sleeping in a crowded 15-people room... with many broken lockers. Same breakfast everyday. One staff guy was a bit annoying after my check-out: no bags room, "u can't do this, don't go there..." First time I experience this in a hostel!

The volunteers working there are super cool. It's a great place to connect with people & make friends. I met a cool group of guys, we partied together & gonna spend NYE in Rio

It would be great to have soap in the bathroom to wash your hands. I didn't like that you have to pay 20 Reais if you want to stay or leave your bag after 3PM the day you check-out

the mood is this hostel is very nice, lovely decoration with good Music on the TV!The workers are really friendly, the hostel is just next to a big shopping mall, to a bus station and to turístic points in the district of Barra! thanks

Excellent staff and a wonderful dog. At first, we had planned to stay there for 3 days, we stayed much longer. We’ve taken a private room well decorated. Comfortable, and a place to meet many new people of different nationalities! Thanks to the Staff of the Hostel Barra, we’ve assisted to a beautiful Samba Party ! I highly recommend.

Everything was perfect except maybe the schedules for breakfast which ends a little early 9 AM

The location was perfect.The Staff,Volunteers n Owner were so helpful n made my stay a memorable one. Clean,good Wifi n comfortable. Would come back again.

Wish they would have privacy curtains for each bunk beds.

Equipe poliglota, super legal local ambiente

Super nice, friendly and flexible staff that let you feel at home from the very first moment. Thanks guys for everything!

It was very clean. They were constantly cleaning all the facilities, bedroom and bathroom. Wifi worked fine in all parts of the hostel (that's perfect if you work remotely).

The mattress was a bit old and thin. They could buy new ones. That's the only thing I didn't like.

Staff are friendly and helpful and up for a chat, relaxed atmosphere and great location close to beachfront and shops

Great location, just a walking distance from Praia da Barra, with amazing staff. Everyone was really friendly and helped me with all my questions about the city and the activities to do. The staff exceeded my expectations.

The location is very central and the stuff very friendly

The beds are impossible to climb upon them they have 3 beds one up from the other and no stairs to climb.The terrace is really dirty
