Hostel Da Vila Ilhabela

This place is like a jungle paradise and offers great value for a range of budgets. It's a bit hidden on a hill but close enough to the village. There's a wonderful team of staff, a homely common area and cooking facilities. I felt very at home at this hostel.

It was raining a lot while I was there and there could be more shelter/protection for such weather. The rooms and the common area stayed dry though.

Best hostel ever . We came only for 2 nights and the staff were the best it took hours to help us and they did everything with smile and gave us the best feeling . Rooms are really nice with lockers .

It is a such nice place! The hostel is a hidden gem in the center of Ilhabela. I stayed at the mixed dormitory which is very comfy. There are lockers in the room and below the bunk beds. Kitchen, bedroom and toilets are always clean. You can relax at the pool or at an amazing deck built on a tree (my favorite spot there). Also, you will find a friendly and easygoing staff there. Daniel, the guy from the reception was very kind with us showing the property before our check in.

The property is awesome! So, my feedback is about little things which could be improved. 1) I slept in a noising bed. Every time I move, that made an annoying sound. 2) There are 2 lockers below each bunk bed. However, there is no division between them. You still can lock your valuables in another little locker (no worries). But, as you have the option to protect your entire stuff in only one place... I think it should be improved. 3) The bar next to the swimming pool serves only diner. Would be great if we could find some snacks and sweets there as well. *Last but not least: protect yourself agains mosquitos (the borrachudos). It there is nothing to do with the property. They are in everywhere in Ilhabela. The regular repellents don’t work for them. You need to use citronela oil which you can easily find in the island.

The hostel is in an unique location. The room and the bathroom are clean. The staffs are very helpful and friendly.

Better place to dry our clothes and towels.
