Rooms and prices at Massambaba Hostel

We have four room types for different travel styles — from full privacy to the classic hostel shared-dorm experience. All rooms include a home-cooked breakfast, air conditioning, free WiFi, and bed linen. Located 200 m from Praia Grande, powered by 100% solar energy.

Private suite

The private suite is our most sought-after room — and it's easy to see why. Double bed, en-suite bathroom, cross-ventilation, and the quiet that only a private room can offer. Perfect for couples or for anyone who arrives needing proper rest. Air conditioning, WiFi, and bed linen included. It tends to sell out early in high season, so book ahead if this is your choice. From R$205 a night.

Budget private room

Same privacy as the suite — your own room, double bed, air conditioning — with one difference: the bathroom is shared with the other rooms on the corridor. If you want the comfort of a private room without the price of the suite, this is the smart choice. Wardrobe, bed linen, and WiFi included. From R$180 a night.

Mixed dormitory

Six beds, individual lockers with keys — the classic hostel setup where most friendships begin. This is where solo travellers and backpackers stay, sharing stories at the end of the day. Air conditioning, WiFi, and bed linen included for every guest. From R$79 per person.

Female-only dormitory

Exclusively for women travellers. Same layout as the mixed dorm — six beds, lockers with keys, air conditioning — with the extra detail of a mirror and power outlet at each bunk, and a calmer overall vibe. A great option for women travelling solo who want that bit of extra comfort and security. From R$79 per person.

What's included in every room

Regardless of room type, every Massambaba guest gets:

Home-cooked breakfast — made here in the house, every morning
Free WiFi throughout the hostel
Air conditioning in the room
100% solar energy — we take eco seriously
Bed linen included (towel included in suite and private room)
200 m from Praia Grande — easy walking distance
