Some of the bikes which they rented out where broken, and i"ve heard some word about wrong information concerning the tours. However, the staff has handled both incidents very well. Hostel response: Hi Sheila - besides of bikes there is a warning for everyone to test the bikes before leaving to see if there are mechanical problems.We have several bikes, you should choose other. Thanks for your stay - André Lutchen HI Staffs

we enjoyed our stay very much, and enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. Tours suggested were great. The only thing that was really not op to standards was the internetconnection and computer room. Time to upgrade there! Hostel response: Thanks for your comments.The internet access is free, it ends at 11:00 PM to avoid noise. We respect the silence law from 11:00 PM to 07:00 PM. We still keep the Internet room operating with computers, but soon it will be deactivated as travelers use own laptop and iphone. Ivete Telles - HI Bonito manager

We really enjoyed this Hostel. Great staff, good set up and good breakfast. The only negative thing is the expensive transfers but I think that is just Bonito :( Hostel response: Thank you very much for your opiniun and to stay at the HI Hostel. Ronaldo Mendonza
15 Nov 2011 Nicci, England & Wales	53%	53%
The most unhelpful and disorganised staff I have encountered at any hostel on my 9 month trip! Kept getting given the wrong information for tours, transfers and rooms. The only positive regarding the staff were the ladies in the cafe who were very helpful and friendly. I defiantly would not recommend this hostel. Hostel response: Dear Nicci, you were here in a full brasilian holiday, only for two days. You just made a reservation at the hostel but not called for reservations of tours. In high season it is necessary to book top tours in advance because the tours have limited places a day. The HI hostel is not owner of the tours, we only check availability of places and times, like an airline company. You should have asked to reserve the tours in advance, should not blame our team for your failure. If there are no places in the tours there is no transportation also. Sorry, but the disorganized are you did not ask the necessary information on the organization of Bonito tourism that has many rules and laws to preserve nature and provide security for tourists. You were rude to our staff that was be fine with you. You must respect the rules and laws of each region. BONITO HI HOSTEL - Luiz Octavio Campos - General Manager

I would highly recommand this hostel. the location is slightly out of the "city" center but after seing the center...seriously who cares :). you can walk there or ask a moto taxi to take you there for 4 reais. It even help all the people to gather around one place (rather than go out in the city) and chat and this is where bonito-hostel truely shine. I have spend 5 nights and all of those nights I had a big pleasure to talk with great people from around the world. if i had to do it again I would spend 3 nights as in general the attraction in Bonito can be quite expensive. This hostel sell also cheap drinks and food and a supermarket is not far from there. Hostel response: Thank you for your post and your stay in HI Bonito Hostel. The HI Hostel is located in the urban area only 8 blocks from the center, the city is very small, the central area has a lot of noise - Ivete Telles
