Dendê Jazz Hostel e Pousada is located on the beachfront in Morro de São Paulo, a few steps from Second Beach and a 3-minute walk from Third Beach.

I was pleasantly surprised by our stay at Dende Jazz. Fran, our lovely host, made us feel comfortable and at home from the very beginning. He offered us two different rooms at the same price so we were able to pick the one we liked more. The breakfast was simple but perfect (eggs, bread, ham, cheese, fresh fruit and fruit juice, tea, coffee and fried plantains). The location is maybe 25m from Praia 3 and a very short walk to the other beaches. Our room was so nice; super clean, comfortable, great a/c, nice balcony with a hammock and all to ourselves. Fran also informed us about the nightlife in town. Highly recommend!

Hostel Mama Africa 2 has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Gamboa. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a grill.

We truly appreciated the host's kindness; her home reflects her well: warm, spacious, and vibrantly decorated. The rooftop terraces, the large shared kitchen, and the peaceful room were highlights. The breakfast, lovingly homemade by the host, with fresh juice and tasty treats, was an absolute delight.

    This is an beautiful hostel. Flavia the lady that is running it at the moment is such a beautiful woman with a kind heart. She keeps the place in such good shape it was always very clean and comfortable. It has a wonderful terrace with a view of the tree tops. It’s a little bit outside of the village but only by five/ten minutes - something which I really appreciated to be honest. There is a lovely friendly cat, and the cooking facilities are great and spacious. The mattresses are good and the Wi-Fi too.

    Great location; amazing hostel staff - particularly Ivan who is always there to help, answer any questions or just talk. Very easy to meet other travellers because of the whatsapp group and generally great facilities for a hostel! Also very clean - the daily room cleans are a god-send given the amount of sand.

    Owner is so friendly, he goes out of his way to make you comfortable. Has a great view and lots of hammocks and places to chill over 3 levels. Is close to praia 1 and 2 and the light house viewpoint which are the most popular spots. Also 10 minute walk to the ferry. Great location compared to other hostels

    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.
