Hostel & Pousada Escorregue no Reggae — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Valença

I arrived and chose the hostel as they had lots of space and air there are no booking fees, but she charged me 10R more than it was on booking.com and I was after a 17 hour journey so I didn’t object. The owner Selena said there was no wholewheat bread for breakfast but they make tapioca and eggs on request Their breakfast wasn’t vegetarian friendly/ they put ham on cheese on the same plate and refused to make tapioca but made salty eggs with lots of margarine. I bought açai pulp which she said was fine and I put it in freezer. The next evening the man working saw me take it and thought I was stealing but he couldn’t speak English. He insisted I put it down and write back on his Spanish keypad with google translate when my açai was melting. It wasn’t fair and I didn’t have a supermarket receipt. On the third day they handed me a plate of cheese when I hadn’t made the request and then argued that I couldn’t have eggs because it’s either cheese, eggs or ham when 2 are self service. They claimed that was the owners orders when she had said no such thing. I already had my own crackers and previous days ate white bread and cake which made me feel awful. When I saw she took a tablespoon of margarine for a one egg omelette I realised why it had been so stodgy and I said ‘no, use a tiny bit of oil’. There’s no need for it to be made in the least healthy way possible and affect my health. I was hungover, and even the filter tap was off limits as they were working in that area. She asked if I’m leaving and I said I’m probably staying. She stood over me for over 2 hours using google translate and I said I’m not packing up when I’m likely staying- it was only 9 but then it really was checkout time at 12. Id had little sleep as they forgot to put the air con at night before they left. I lost my swim shorts hanging them out and had no other and couldn’t go to the beach. They wouldn’t ask the Argentinian guests if they took them by mistake and when I asked they said no without checking when I hung them on the same line and moved the drying stand when it started raining at 3am. On the island they won’t let you use their laundry machines on principle. She said to hand wash- but I couldn’t get a sink, plug or bucket. The soap dispenser was empty. I asked the guy and he said it wasn’t included. I thought that was a mistake as he seemed dense so asked her. She ‘helpfully’ told me to buy soap- wow who would have thought of buying every possible thing you need at each hostel you go to? They shouldn’t have soap dispensers then! Public toilets include soap. On the last day she made the bill 51 instead of 50 so it wouldn’t look like a double transaction- of course more than less 🙄 So unwaveringly and shamelessly one sided. When I told her what had happened, she said it was a language barrier- no apology. Yet she said that every day the menu is different- but eggs were always on request and she said I could have them when I first came. There was no compromise and all lies and excuses. She said I would be allowed eggs next morning, but they still were difficult and yelled and me when I took coffee and laughed. I cried at that point. There was a Brazilian guy who wasn’t vegetarian and he got eggs without any problem. I was catching the 9am ferry and they have no right to harass me. It’s not my problem that there aren’t able to communicate in English after years of being around foreigners and have 3 hours of them standing on top of me with google translate- ironically that’s why I ended up staying. I had such a hangover and that pressure made me disorientated - it was exhausting. They cash in on inconveniencing you- I went and paid 30R later for an omelette meal which was cooked veggie friendly- they limited my only 2 protein options when I couldn’t eat most of what was there. I’m fed up of such nonsense and bullying because I don’t eat meat. It’s traumatic for me when I’m being bullied out of eating what I’m allowed. Shameless,...

Me and my friends decided to travel last minute. We look for an inexpensive and well rated place by the guests. The hostel is not near the entrance of the island, it is much more hidden, but with several interesting places close by, such as market and restaurants. When I arrived I was enchanted by the mood of the place, Bob Marley singing in the background and the team welcoming us. Our room was on the second floor, being necessary to climb stairs, which is not very pleasant for anyone with large and heavy suitcases. We liked the room, which we shared with two Argentine girls. The bathroom is a bit stuffy, but nothing that would disrupt the stay. The breakfast is delicious and varied. At all times someone from the team was available to welcome us and guide us wherever possible. In short: the 3-day stay was great thanks to the competition, organization and good vibe of the place. great price, great atmosphere. ||For those who enjoy reggae it will be a surprise to see the wooden chairs carved with great names of the music. The rooms are named after bands and famous...

Me and my partner stayed here for 3 nights. In this touristy place we found this place amazing as it is located in a little street away from the craziness. The people that hosted us were incredible nice ~ he gave us a lot of information about the history of Morro, which was really interested. He was an artist that created the portal at the beginning of the local street and his inspiration came from the fountain which is build in the 1600 around the colonization. Worth it a look and...
