Nothing at all! :)

I loved my stay at Mangamel hostel. Barbara and Rodrigo will make you feel like at home! The hostel is nicely located within a short walk from the center. The rooms are spacious, mine had a beautiful view on the surrounding area. There is a big kitchen equipped with everything needed, and a lovely garden. I really felt like at home - cosy and comfortable. I will definetely be back to Mangamel!

The room was not totally clean, there was thrash left from previous guest left under the sofa, but the bedsheets and the bathroom were spotless.

Nice room in a quiet location, very nice views, could even sleep with the window fully open without any mosquitoes coming to visit :-)

It was a bit difficult to communicate with my limited Portuguese.

Very nice and clean place with wonderful staff.

It's quite hot in the rooms without a/c, but we knew this before coming, and it's a budget option

Really nice hostel. Great communication from staff, spotlessly clean. Great kitchen area which was very well equipped. Nice garden to sit in too

Some items of the infrastructure were not very comfortable (chairs, steps to the room, light switches). The patio is nice, but you can barely enjoy it because of the lack of good chairs and the mosquitoes around. The volunteer staff was nice, but as they were always cooking and hanging around you could feel like the place was all theirs.

Charming house in a quiet area of Lencois. Less than a 10-minute walk to restaurants and bars downtown. Two kitchens were available for guests, which were always clean. Nice patio with some trees. Coffee, tea, and cake were offered every morning, which was a nice treat.

I think that they should allow people to hung around after the check out for free (they charge 20 reais) and must also have more trust in kids (we went with our 4yo daughter, that has been traveling around 10 different countries, and immediately after the check in we received a message about not bothering other guests, otherwise we would have been kicked out, or that if the baby was going to break something in the room we should have paid for it... Not really kind, expecially since the place is not in a super quiet area, considering that brasilians love to hear loud music, also at night, and another night we were kept awake until 2am by the neighbors fighting and yelling). They said that they don't allow kids, but in the description on booking.com it wasn't written "adults only", as often I saw,otherwise I would not have booked, and in years traveling with my kid I never have to add her in the reservation, because she was always welcomed and staying for free.

The volunteers were very friendly, the place was always clean and tide, and, even if they don't write it on booking.com, they offer coffee, tea, biscuits and a cake for breakfast (better then many hostel that they write breakfast included and it's a bit of couscous and bread)

There wasnt really anyone that could advice us on stuff to do in the area.

Beds are very comfortable and there is a nice kitchen to use. It is very chill and quiet. I loved the garden area to hang out. The free coffee, tea and homebaked cake in the morning are a lovely touch.

All good

The hostel has a nice garden and two kitchens. One of the volunteers, sabrina, was really friendly! Rooms are really basic but good for the price.

The lady who runs the hostel is absolutely lovely and is super friendly and helpful. The hostel itself is clean and well appointed, with a municipal kitchen that’s free for anyone to use. There’s no aircon but that didn’t really trouble us as there’s fans in each of the rooms. She also provides a decent breakfast and allowed us to store our bags and shower in the evening after we’d checked out before our nightbus, so all round, pretty good!

Everything is great about Mangamel. The location, the dorm, the garden, the cleanliness, the atmosphere and, over all : the people. Lu and Lu, Lorenzo, Confia and Aurora, Feddy and the frog. These people are kind, benevolant, inspiring, funny and full of energy. I felt at home. The house is not so big, so you can easily meet the hosts and the other guests. I highly recommend this place. I stayed 10 days and I had a wonderfull time. Thank you ! !

Wow, where do I even start? I loved this Hostel. What made my stay here was the staff - they really go out of their way to help you. The garden is also a great space to hang out. A great place to meet fellow hikers. Also the house cat Freddie is the best! a super affectionate cat that loves a cuddle.

The breakfast was quite light and there wasn’t much of a vibe created by the hostel - but we still met some lovely people. No AC so got veryyyyy hot in the rooms in the evening.

Cool bohemian hostel with really nice rooms and bathrooms and a lovely garden. Great place to relax after hiking.

It was impeccably clean, the staff was lovely and we loved the garden area. It felt like home: we received all the tips needed in a relaxed environment. Unlike other hostels in the city, this one was more quiet and intimate.

Lu the owner has created a very welcoming atmosphere, I felt very comfortable there. She helped me with recommendations in Lençóis, a late check in and also sent me to a great hairdresser! I had two different rooms, both were very clean with everything I needed. Diogo and Emili who work there were great to chat to and very helpful. Duda is a local guide who runs acrobatics lessons there twice a week. I didn’t get the chance to join them, but they looked great!
