Pretty disappointed overall. Was hoping that the hostel would be an interesting and reliable place to stay whilst visiting the falls, but unfortunately was neither. ||The hostel itself is in need of some love and care. There are holes in the ceiling such as the one that was outside our door that leaked a lot of water onto the floor after some rain overnight. I've attached a photo of of this and one just in the main lobby area. The room was dirty and features were poorly maintained. A lot of out of date notice boards added to the out-of-date feel. The toilets in the main lobby were in a very poor condition. ||Whilst staff were friendly and willing to help, the hostel felt too laid back for me; it felt like I was staying in the owners home, and staff's gap year job more than I was staying in a place I had paid for. The first day that we were here, the owners hosted a children's birthday party using the main outdoor area of the hostel; and whilst this was nice, it did make one feel a little bit like a stranger. Staff would spend a lot of time sat around on their phones and at the tables outside talking, which would normally be ok, but for example our room was never cleaned. ||Whilst I understand that we were here during low season, it really felt like the bar and standards were low during our time here. ||To their credit, they did make a great caiparinha at the bar! The location is decent; about a 10 min walk to the centre of town, and a short walk to a bus stop that goes to the falls. The wifi was also okay.
