It wasn't a bad experience over all, It was just ridiculously expensive for what we got. Our room was a bit dodgy to say the least! The walls were covered in mould. But the toilet was spotless??!! We had a few issues with the beds in our dorm. A guy had fallen through his bunk which was located on the... More

Good location. Staff can be rude, and the room was like a dungeon full of mould and the bunk beds were very unsafe. The top bed fell through on one of them. Value for money wise this place is a joke. It's nearly cheaper to stay in a hotel. Only good thing was the breakfast on the beach and the... More

The Geko hostel and the Misty Chill hostel which are located right next door and have the same owners are highly comparable. The dorm rooms are rather small and very humid. The rooms and bathrooms are not cleaned often enough, especially because when I was there the hostel was totally full, so it could get quite messy. The staff is... More

Geko is a small hostel, with a nice traveller crowd. The rooms are decent (2-layered bunkbeds), some of which exit straight into the Garden. Staff are very friendly and helpful, although don't always seem to know how to deal with what should be common situations. Breakfast (included) and dinner are served in the beach-kiosk across the road, with a lovely... More

When I stayed in Geko there was building work so obviously it was not at its best but despite this our stay was still pleasant enough. the cost to share a dorm is very reasonable, especially for Brazilian prices, and this does include an incredible breakfast (toasty machines, cake, cereal, fruit, hotchocolate and all on the beach!) and internet. the...

The localisation of the Hostel is very good but that is where the good part ends. This is a joke. Everybody who can avoid this hostel should do so. We had the couples room, a first view revealed dirty walls and dirty towels combined with a nasty/wet smell coming from the bathroom. The bed must have seen many people as... More

To make a long story short, they improperly charged us and since they had our credit card information and we were on vacation just kind of stopped arguing and let happen. Not a nice place, bathrooms big downer. They are literally a hundred better places to stay than this one...

The hostel is beautifully located by the beach, but the beach is not the best. I only saw some locals bathing there, all the tourists went to the nearby Trinidade (possible by both car and bike) with beautiful beaches. The walk from the hostel was short to the docks (where a lot of popular boatrides departed from) and to the... More

Stayed in a 12 bed dorm with one shared bathroom... on further inspection the shared bathroom was without a toilet, a plastic bin covered the hole in the wall where the exposed plumbing made for a seriously unpleasant (and unhygienic) smell. On returning to my bed after eating out in the Historic Centre I was told that a stray dog... More
