Very friendly staff with extensive cooking facilities. There was a great common area with books, a TV and a pool table which led to quite a social atmosphere. Location was great, neR to two supermarkets and with loads of trails either starting nearby or within a short bus ride away.

My room said "Lake View" but the hostel isn't witoon sight of the lake. Bit confusing.

We had good experience on this book, the receptionists was really nice and informed a few tips about places to visit and etc. If you want to grab a beer or soda they have a bar also and they are very receptive. Totally recommeded.

A member of the staff decided to think on my behalf, and decide that I am an introvert who likes calm places. Never asked for her tip but when such advice is based on a negative assumption it is insulting. Keep an open mind about your guests.

Really nice place to stay. It's very spacious with hammocks, bean bag chairs etc to chill. Free pool, table tennis, swimming pool, deck chairs. You could rent kayaks and surfboards. It had a TV in the lounge and they played live football matches like Champions League. Plug sockets by beds but no curtains, AC in the room and also decent sized lockers. Really nice bilingual staff. Possible to meet other solo travellers also. The hostel was always clean and has a good kitchen. WIFI was strong and worked everywhere. Highly recommend Geckos as a base for exploring Floripa!

Very good value for money, helpful staff (although not particularly kind)

Cold showers, very noisy A/C going on randomly during the night

Extremely over priced for a an outdated building. The staff are lovely and helpful! Sociable hostel and great location. But extremely outdated and facilities broken, not worth the price.

Outdated and broken

Great place to meet people as a solo traveller! Social events, staff & owner are very friendly 👍

staff, location and the place in general
