I absolutely loved the cozy atmosphere at the hostel. The decoration had a charming and rustic feel, with colorful hammocks hanging around the garden, making it a perfect spot for me to relax and socialize with other guests. The general areas were well-maintained, and I particularly appreciated the accessibility for senior people. The hostel had ramps and easy-to-navigate pathways, making it hassle-free for me to move around and enjoy my stay.
The only thing I would suggest for a better vacation for senior people is for the children working there to be more mindful of the noise levels, especially during the late evenings. It would have been more enjoyable for a quiet night's sleep if they ensured the music, partying, and talking were strictly limited to the designated hours, respecting the needs of those who wanted to rest peacefully.

I stayed at Geckos Hostel for 9 days and loved it! The location is perfect, within walking distance of the best spots in Lagoa and even the beaches if you don't mind a moderate walk. The house is beautiful and the staff is friendly. Breakfast was always great, better than most hostels I've been to. I can't wait to come back!
Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

The value for money was excellent and the room was comfortable with AC and lockers. The location was great and the staff treated me really well, always friendly and helpful.
The morning meal could have been better with more variety and options.

The staff were friendly and accommodating, always willing to help out. The location of the hostel was great, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. the hostel had a nice social atmosphere, making it easy to meet and connect with other travelers.
The hostel was in need of some maintenance and upgrades. Several things were broken or poorly fixed, such as mirrors, doors, and bathroom fixtures.

I really enjoyed the cozy and charming decoration at the hostel. The colorful walls and beautiful artwork gave it a unique and lively atmosphere. The common areas were well-furnished with comfortable chairs and sofas, perfect for relaxing and socializing with other guests. As a senior woman, I found the hostel to be very accessible and senior-friendly. The garden and general areas were well-maintained and easy to navigate, making my stay enjoyable and hassle-free.
I would have loved if there were more organized activities or events specifically catered towards senior guests. It would have been nice to have some activities that encouraged the older guests to come together and socialize more.
