Impeccable! If you're a digital nomad, this is your place in Florianópolis. Reliable Wi-Fi, plenty of common areas for working, private beach access, a fantastic kitchen that saves you money on food, and spotless facilities. I loved this place and would return in a heartbeat.

Awesome experience! Excellent facilities and very welcoming staff! 🏄‍♀️

The Search is everything they say and more. It was my first solo trip and I felt super welcome, plus the infrastructure is impeccable and the location is easily accessible to anywhere else on the island. The meals are great and average, the rooms are spacious and very well equipped. The hostel has direct access to Barra beach, which is one of its strongest points, besides the deck which brings the greatest sense of peace and a breathtaking sunset. Absolutely perfect, totally worth it... the only problem will be finding another hostel as good as this one.

Amazing hostel. It has everything you need. With a beautiful pool, plenty of space to chill, a restaurant, and a gate to the beach. The staff are super helpful and friendly, and it is very clean. 10/10!!

First experience traveling alone in Brazil and staying in a hostel, and I can say with absolute certainty that I would go back a thousand times! Very clean and the staff were very nice!!!

Really good stay! An amazing hostel with lots going on, very happy with the beach access 😄 all the staff are also really nice

Everything was wonderful: the staff, the rooms, the beachfront location. The best hostel I've stayed in in a long time. I stayed in a private room and at night we could hear the sea, it was so close. Great food, very welcoming staff, I will definitely be back!

Wonderful hostel! Located beachfront, great space and facilities! I just think the room and bathroom cleaning could be better, and that there could be a lock as well, since the staff enter the room without prior notice.

Great experience, beautiful place, and the staff who served us were wonderful.

Incredible place! Fantastic beachfront location, many guests from all over the world. It was a fantastic experience!!!

The most incredible place in Florianópolis! I've been coming since 2022 and I always intend to return. Congratulations everyone! Everything is impeccable.

It was my first time staying in a hostel and I can only say it was incredible! The facilities are great, the hostel offers various activities for guests (some are paid separately: massage, yoga, functional training, surf lessons) and the food is wonderful (breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner are provided at the hostel, which makes things much easier). All the staff were very nice and helpful. I loved the surf instructors! I had no problems getting along with the other guests, everyone respected each other's space! It was wonderful!

What an amazing place with even more amazing staff. It really felt like being home there. If you ever think about visiting Floripa, do yourself the favor and stay at the Search House. Even though I lost some things there, I definitely found friends and memories for life. 🙏🏼

Best place to stay in Florianópolis! No explanation needed, top-notch facilities, wonderful staff! I loved it so much!

It's always wonderful to stay at The Search!! The team is amazing, always willing to help and with incredible energy! Cleaning is done every day. There are always activities and announcements of things to do. The place is wonderful, a stone's throw from the beach! I simply loved everything!! Looking forward to going back!

Awesome hostel with a super chill, relaxing vibe and great beach access.

I consider The Search House my home. The location is perfect, literally beachfront and full of energy. For those who love sports, especially surfing, this is the right place. In addition, the house has breakfast, a bar and restaurants within the space itself, as well as a massage and tattoo studio. The atmosphere of the place is sensational, connecting nature, fun and good experiences. And the parties… are totally worth it! Good music, beautiful people and unforgettable moments. I definitely recommend The Search House to anyone who wants to enjoy the beach, sports, good food and a unique vibe!

★☆☆☆☆

I tried calling the physical number several times to inquire about a reservation, and they simply didn't answer the phone. After numerous attempts, they responded via WhatsApp with irony and in a rude manner, as if they didn't need guests to maintain the hostel. I immediately cancelled my stay and looked for another place where I would receive better service.

My experience at The Search House was 7/10. I stayed during peak season, which influenced some aspects of my stay. Below, I present a constructive evaluation highlighting the main positive and negative aspects of the place. Positive Points The hostel's infrastructure is, without a doubt, a major differentiator. I've been traveling for about three years, staying in hostels throughout Brazil, and I can say that The Search House's infrastructure is top-notch. The place offers everything we need: clean towels, well-organized beds, spacious lockers, and very good bathrooms. It is, in fact, a luxury hostel. The location is another excellent point. Being by the sea makes the experience even more special and greatly facilitates the daily routine during the stay. It's truly a privilege. The convenience of having its own restaurant and bar within the hostel also deserves mention, especially on party nights. This provides considerable comfort. However, due to sponsorships, the prices of items end up being a bit high. The staff were, for the most part, extremely helpful, proactive, and friendly. Positive points: They are always available to answer questions and help in any way possible, which greatly contributes to a good experience. Negative points: Unfortunately, I had problems related to coexistence with some guests. I witnessed situations that I considered xenophobic and racist—and I emphasize that I am not even a dark-skinned person. I noticed that the place seems to focus a lot on pleasing foreign guests, which, at times, ends up making Brazilians uncomfortable. In high season, the feeling is of being in an environment mostly occupied by foreigners, with looks and attitudes that give the impression that you shouldn't be there. In a complaint I made about the disorganization of the room, I received the response: "I don't know what I can do, but I'll ask the staff to talk to the girls," which sounded rather unhelpful. I am in my own country and I don't believe I should be obligated to speak English or Spanish all the time. I network at work; when traveling, I seek to rest and be with my family. Some phrases and behaviors from certain "foreigners" end up breaking the magic of the experience. Even so, I managed to enjoy the trip and find happy moments. However, I felt there was a lack of welcoming attitude towards the Brazilian public. Valuing those who come from abroad shouldn't mean diminishing those who are from here. For me, there was a lack of Brazilianness, a lack of the human warmth so characteristic of our country. Prices The prices at the place—except for breakfast—are high. A set meal costs, on average, R$70, although it is well-served. In the end, I believe that each person will have their own experience; this is just a personal view based on my experiences.

Poor service. Loud music at night. Bad food; there was dirt in my coffee, and when I pointed it out to the woman who made it, she shrugged and said to just wipe it off. Disgusting. They gave me a broken chair, and I only noticed when I was on the beach. I had to go back to exchange it, and the attendant said, "Go there and choose one for yourself now." What is that? I'm not paying cheap prices, and even if I were, I would expect at least a minimum of service. Disappointed. Not to mention the noise at night. Loud music.

Amazing place, the crowd is very lively, the staff is very welcoming, I will definitely come back many more times, the best place to enjoy Barra, close to the beaches. Perfect!

I went to the party organized by The Search and found the ventilation to be terrible. Without any fans or air conditioning, there was an awful smell of sweaty body odor. Everyone was sweating like crazy.

I sent a friend request on their Instagram page about 4 months ago and no one has responded yet. I sent my friends to another location in the south of the island and it was amazing.

Excellent experience at The Search House. The place is comfortable, with great energy and a welcoming atmosphere. I especially recommend the yoga classes with Lori; they were excellent, well-guided, and truly relaxing. Highly recommended.

The experience was incredible, the place is dreamy, and the activities they offer are amazing. I stopped by for a sunrise yoga class 🌅 with the most wonderful teacher, Lori 🙏

Beautiful place to stay! I had the chance to travel with my two brothers and we had a wonderful vacation meeting and spending time with some really cool people. Lori's sunrise/sunset yoga classes were amazing, we'll be back! 🇦🇷 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

What an incredible place! The outdoor area has a large space. Swimming pool, skate park, bar, green areas. Really very well planned and organized. It has direct access to the beach. Inside, the spaces are well organized and well decorated, maintaining the vibe of the place.

This was my first hostel experience and it went beyond my expectations! The house was extremely clean and well maintained. It was super easy and accessible to communicate with everyone when I needed information or help with something. There’s always a community-building event each night, making it perfect for solo travelers to meet amazing new people! Location-wise, Barra da Lagoa is the most beautiful place in Floripa. The area is so lively and super close to hikes, trails, and other activities. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone considering it!

The hostel is full of activities and leisure areas that promote the integration of guests. The staff are super polite. I simply loved it! 💖✨

What an incredible place! The vibe, the nature, and especially the staff's service, particularly Bia at reception, who is so sweet and always willing to help.

The Search House is an absolute gem! The place has a cozy camp-house vibe while still offering great facilities. The private rooms are amazing and very reasonably priced, and the best part — it has direct access to the beach! The staff are super friendly, and a special shout-out goes to Bia, whose energy and vibe can brighten anyone’s day. The hostel has a separate lockers area, which means guests aren’t disturbed when people pack up early in the morning — such a thoughtful detail. I also loved the beautiful shared spaces. There’s a great area for guests to gather and do activities, and the shared kitchen is very well equipped, making it easy to cook and socialize. If I had to point out some downsides: the washroom cleanliness could be improved a bit, and a breakfast buffet option would be a great addition. On one of the nights, the shared rooms were freezing since there was no operational heating system, though I imagine this wouldn’t be a problem during summer months. Overall, it’s a fantastic hostel — warm, social, and with unbeatable beach access. Highly recommend!

The service, energy, and vibe are amazing; event weekends are the best. Just go and enjoy the vibe.

I was sexually assaulted at the hostel and they didn't help me with the necessary information for the police report. This happened in February 2023 and I've only been able to talk about it now. I don't recommend it for women.

The best hostel I've ever been to! The reception staff is super friendly and helpful. The hostel atmosphere is very friendly; I made some great friends there. They organize social events every day, and some great groups are formed. The facilities are beautiful and very comfortable. It has extra showers outside in case you don't want to wait in your room (there's always someone who takes an hour), and they're also very comfortable. The rooms are divine, and the patio is incredible, with tons of things to do. You really don't need to leave the hostel; everything is there: food, tours, surfing, theme nights, and friends 💜

The best hostel in Floripa, I had never stayed in a hostel before and it was definitely the best experience, the location is perfect facing the beach, the hostel offers a lot of comfort and the rooms are always clean. I will come back again

Very cozy, organized, and clean, with lots of fun activities... My focus is surfing, which I highly recommend! And after the lesson, having coffee with a toasted sandwich or banana tapioca is a must. 😋

Wonderful hostel, amazing people, and a great option for solo travelers. The cleanliness is excellent, and everyone takes great care of things. I stayed in the female dorm, which is the smallest one available, but it's also good. One advantage is that the lockers are outside the room, so they don't disturb anyone sleeping. Another great advantage is that it's right on the beach. I highly recommend it!

Best hostel in Santa Catarina by far, everything was impeccable, clean bathrooms, and the staff is exceptional, super nice people. No wonder people who go come back more for the hostel than anything else... I spent 20 days there and I already want to go back.

Great space and infrastructure, a very good hostel with a pool, happy hour, games room, and very clean and organized rooms. The kitchen is shared and you can cook your own food or choose the hostel's restaurant. They have surf and skate lessons, as well as other very cool services. I loved the experience 💕

Never have i had such a good experience in a hostel. For a little over 10 dollars a night, you get a hostel full of good activities, friendly staff and impeccable cleanliness. Its located right by the beach and you can walk everywhere. 10/10 recommended!

Very disrespectful. Extremely loud music. Lawless place!

Hospitality and friendliness are the strong points of The Search House! The staff's treatment and care for guests is extremely kind and greatly enhances the entire trip, as do their tips and suggestions. The facilities are completely functional and practical, from clean and fragrant bathrooms to a very well-equipped kitchen that meets all the needs of those who choose to stay there. The common area is very comfortable, offering a swimming pool, gym, games, sports, skate park, meditation area, and for those traveling for work, there will be plenty of cozy spaces. It was a wonderful few days; it was truly a warm embrace. I extend my thanks to everyone who makes the establishment function with such mastery and competence!

Best hostel ever! Everything is wonderful: the organization, the cleanliness, the facilities... I'll always come back.

We are neighbours. Went in for tacos. Going back again tonight. Roll on 7:30.

Warm welcome, clean and well-organized house, close to hiking trails and with itineraries for every day of the week.

I stayed at The Search during my vacation and I'm already dying to go back! The rooms are clean, the restaurant food is delicious, they offer lots of activities, and the staff at the hostel are super nice and attentive. I loved it!

They schedule night parties after you make the reservation and if you don’t get the notification they still want you to pay for the room. Very unprofessional and rude.Don’t go!, The professional practice is to block the dates when the party is going on and only let interested parties go to them.

Amazing! So much greenery and great music! We loved it!

One of my favorite hostels I’ve stayed at, has a great restaurant, really nice common areas, lots of activities and is right on the beach! Just has an all around good vibe, really enjoyed my stay here.

Went to a party on Saturday during the surf festival. When we went to leave, we called an Uber. One of the staff said we could sit in the chair at the entrance to wait. Once we sat down a male security guard came over and started asking if it was our chair and that we couldn’t sit at the entrance. We explained that another staff had provided the chair but he insisted so we got up and he took the chair. He then came back and told us we couldn’t wait for the the Uber and had to exit to wait… in the rain. Honestly this guy seemed like he was on power trip and was extremely rude. Won’t bother to check out the search in the future because don’t need to be treated poorly by any business.

I only didn't give it 5 stars because they don't allow day pass holders to use the microwave. I think for someone paying R$ 80.00 for a day pass, using the microwave isn't asking too much. They should rethink these rules. Apart from that, the place is great. Direct access to the beach. Awesome vibe. Power outlets. Good Wi-Fi. I recommend it. Just don't bring frozen food like I did.

My friends and I went because the hostel seemed fun and youthful, but at 10 pm they turn off all the lights and the music, and you can't even speak out loud. The beach access closes at 7 pm. The food prices are more expensive than in a restaurant. They charged my card for drinks I never had. The staff is rude. They come into the room to turn the air conditioning on or off without warning or asking permission. The facilities are very nice, but the hostel has ZERO vibe.

I went for New Year's Eve and it was sensational. Good food, quality drinks, and excellent service. I only have a few reservations: larger bathrooms, more trash cans scattered around (there were people constantly collecting them, but I missed having a trash can more easily accessible and not just depending on someone to collect them), and also extending the hours for the dinner/food available, as many people ended up arriving later than the opening time due to traffic, and right after midnight there were few things available. Otherwise, congratulations to the organizers. I will definitely return.

My New Year's Eve at The Search House was nothing short of exceptional! The atmosphere was top-notch ! I wasn't excepting a party like that !!! I spend amazing time with all my friends ! The food was exquisite and the total lack of waiting to enjoy the open bar and open food was perfect ! Thank you for all the team : It was exceptionnel !

Terrible experience at the New Year's Eve party! The ticket was absurdly expensive for a service that wasn't "promised." Huge line to eat - eating standing up, poorly served drinks, warm drinks served directly into plastic cups full of ice. Lack of restrooms, trash cans, and places to sit. I paid thinking I would have fun and not be bothered, but it didn't feel like New Year's Eve. No countdown on the main dance floor, the music was terrible (hip hop all night), no champagne, no beach access… few security guards. In short, a terrible experience, I don't recommend it!

Terrible experience! We paid an absurd amount for the New Year's Eve party ticket; the party's concept, location, and services "promised," but the organization was terrible in carrying out the event. It started with the lack of organization at the entrance, a lack of professionals in all sectors. Huge lines to eat - eating standing up, why sit down all night? How were the drinks served? Warm drinks, opened directly from the pack, placed in a plastic cup full of ice with a slice of lemon floating on top. After that, the boxes of cold snacks were left scattered on the table with people smoking and drooling on them. Total lack of care. No countdown, no champagne, no beach access (as advertised by the venue), okay, the party was private, but they just needed security to check the wristbands. We paid a lot, thinking we would at least eat or drink well, but the experience was terrible, it didn't even feel like New Year's Eve.

I've only been there for casual outings and I already love it, next time I'm off we're going to stay overnight 🧡

I went to The Search carnival party today, a great place with a lively crowd, however the bathrooms lacked security and my friend was harassed. When I spoke to the security guards, Maurício (head of security) was super attentive and assured me that he would put someone in the bathrooms. Despite the specific type of crowd at this party, the staff is very attentive and helpful!!

The Search is an ideal place for those seeking a beach vibe but with facilities for lunch and work. I've had lunch there a few times, and the set menu is simply divine and very generously served! I had lunch, worked, and then even walked to the beach. A perfect day that perfectly matches the quality of life in Florianopolis!

The facilities are beautiful, super spacious, with direct access to the beach, full of plants and trees, lots of games, and a fully equipped kitchen. Very friendly and helpful staff, all of them really cool. Cons: Breakfast is not included, and the price is high. That's the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars.

The place is great! Literally right on the beach. The vibe is really good, and it's excellent for solo travelers because you meet lots of people from different places. It would be even better if breakfast were included and there wasn't a male-only dorm available. Other than that, it's all good.

Wonderful hostel with great staff!

Worst New Year's Eve I've ever had. They charge an absurd amount for the ticket and throw a terrible party, with very little food. Long lines to get drinks, staff unprepared for the demand. And they lost power in the middle of the party, plus an hour without sound. What a shame that party was. I'll never go back and I don't recommend it. If you want a good party, go to Praia Mole or parties in the south of the island... but don't go to this place. Money wasted, you build up expectations and leave disappointed. TERRIBLE.

I stayed there a while ago and I loved the staff, the hostel's facilities, the spacious bathrooms, and its beachfront location. The best hostel I've ever stayed in! I can't wait to go back!

Great New Year's event! Very large space with two stages, and even though it was very crowded, there weren't any major problems.

Almost 1,000 reais for the ticket, open food and open bar offer. Little food, we went hungry, no structure to meet the demand. Promise of 2 sound stages (a shame), backyard stage with a so-so band, then a horrible DJ who couldn't make a connection between one song and another. He played Racionais MC's and then sent me Marília Mendonça... like, totally out of place... But nothing is so bad that it can't get worse, right... the biggest shame was when the power went out, lol, that's right, the power went out, and we were without sound for an hour... And nobody gave any explanation... they simply told us to go to the outside stage with weak sound and low volume. I made the biggest advertisement for the party to friends from another city. They came in a group of 15 people to spend and pay a very high price for the worst New Year's Eve we've ever had. You are a disgrace. The least you should do is a VIP party to mitigate this setback and loss that everyone went through. Shame on many, the 2023 party started to go to hell thanks to you guys. I'm sorry LAYBACK for having traded you for this shameful place.

New Year's Eve party 2023 with absolutely no structure. Very disappointed.

Our favourite hostel in South America so far - beautiful shady garden that backs on to the beach, amazing big swimming pool that is cleaned daily, big kitchen with dining table that is great to socialise at, homey living room to watch Netflix, great dog and even lizards that roam in the garden. We ate at the restaurant too; the poke bowl was delicious. We stayed in a private room which was well worth it as we could hear the ocean as we went to sleep. If I had one suggestion for improvement: down the end of the garden next to the skateboard ramp would be a great place to have a small outdoor gym - eg pull up bar, bench press, etc. Would definitely love to come again!

Absolutely recommend staying here. Great location and amazing staff.

They disturb neighboring guesthouses with extremely loud noise events until the early hours of the morning.

Best location, restaurant and lovely staff!

It's next to Vereda, which usually has great shows, and the hostel itself also hosts shows. I can't comment on the accommodation itself because I only go there as a visitor, which is what makes it special. If you have a friend staying there, you can go and enjoy the space, buy some beers, play pool, skate, and hang out with the crowd. I recommend it to several friends! The place is great!

This has to be the best hostel that I've stayed in ever! The chefs are amazing, the Reception team are welcoming and full of joy. The people their including little mix lookalike (I won't forget about the stiff neck girl) are awesome. futmesa (I've probably butchered this name) was incredible. The beach is right there in front of you. Highly recommended this hostel to anyone travelling the Florianópolis.

Best atmosphere on the island

My stay couldn't have been more peaceful and enjoyable. Comfort, incredible location (Barra Beach, which the house has access to, surprised me) and attentive and friendly staff. I recommend it, the best in Florianópolis! I'll be back at the first opportunity I have ✌

★☆☆☆☆

The venue itself is well-organized and very beautiful. I went to the 3030 show yesterday, my favorite band, and paid $150 for the ticket, but there wasn't a single clean, physical bathroom. Only portable toilets. I believe a venue that charges $600 for New Year's Eve parties would have enough money to invest in bathrooms for the people attending the events. Gin costing $32 was served in a plastic cup, but the picture shows it in a glass (misleading advertising). It leaves much to be desired; I feel they only care about profit and not the well-being of the customer. The flyer said the band would start at 6 PM, but it only started at 1 AM. Six hours late, more misleading advertising, and pure encouragement to consume. I observe that the venue is very profit-driven, just like many places in Florianópolis in the summer! I enjoyed the show already very tired, and there was no more water to buy. I will hardly go to an event at The Search House again. I spent an absurd amount of money and the company didn't deliver what they promised. Disappointed!

Feb 27, 2022

★☆☆☆☆

I can't speak to the accommodation, but the event infrastructure needs significant improvement. Ticket prices are outrageous, acts are often late, for example, an event scheduled for 6 PM, but the act started at 1 AM, played for 1 AM, and then finished. The waiting time is designed to encourage consumption at the venue, but the price is very high, and the quality is poor. And with so much money, all they have are portable toilets, dirty, and there wasn't even soap to wash your hands. No hand sanitizer either. Lots of hype, little substance.

Amazing place

I have been backpacking for two years and this is BY FAR the best hostel I have ever stayed in! You have to be there to understand how unique this place is! Staff that helps you with everything and are also your friends, great breakfast and tasty food in the restaurant. Rooms are comfy, private gate straight to the Barra beach... I would recommend this place to everyone! Thanks for all the great memories and see you next time by the Futmesa table. Miss you already, Shevy

The staff and other travelers were incredibly friendly, and the place had a great energy; the vibe made you want to chat with everyone. The breakfast was good and plentiful, and I personally loved the coconut cake and other flavors I tried. Upon arrival, the reception staff explained everything to us—the laundry, the kitchen, etc. The staff were very helpful and eager to make sure we had a fantastic stay, not only at The Search House but also in the surrounding area, offering selfless recommendations for routes and places to visit. I would definitely return.

Best hostel ever!! Clean and organized room. Huge and clean bathroom! Very good and stable WiFi for those who work remotely, and the breakfast is better than a hotel's. The service is great and the location is excellent for those who want peace and quiet. Any Uber is 10 minutes away from cool bars, so if you want to explore the nightlife, it's super easy.

Great! I made some good friends at this hostel.

We spent New Year's Eve at an event hosted by The Search. I can say it was the worst experience we had in Florianópolis. The ticket price included open food and an open bar. Besides not providing what was supposed to be served beforehand, when we arrived there were only a few eggplant nachos and a meager cold cuts table. The nachos ran out in minutes. As a result, we went hungry at an event that promised and charged for open food. The toilets were portable toilets and couldn't handle the number of people there. I bitterly regret it and I don't recommend the hostel's events to anyone.

Disappointed, I spent New Year's Eve at this place on the recommendation of friends. I bought the ticket in advance to guarantee the best price and unfortunately I bitterly regretted it. The open food menu was never released, I asked several times on Instagram and they always replied that it would be out soon... I only found out on the day and it was extremely disappointing with a fruit table and few cold cuts, eggplant farofa and nachos. I felt extremely cheated, I paid so much, almost six hundred reais, for so little. We had to leave and eat somewhere else because I really thought there would be a dinner or something of that level. In short, I trusted the company because of the great reviews, and I could have chosen other options that had already advertised better and cheaper food and bands. It only served as a lesson and pure regret. Never again... maybe the hostel itself is good, but for events it's terrible!

The Search House is truly amazing. Besides being very well located, it has direct access to the beach. The bar is very pleasant, with a pool to cool off on hot days. ||The room facilities are excellent and were impeccably clean. ||The kitchen, organized and fully equipped, is a strong point for travelers who like to cook and prepare their own meals. ||The hostel also offers daily activities and interaction among guests.

And to Jamila, who kindly made me some tea because I was coughing a lot. If I were to make any, they would be minor observations. But overall, it's a very pleasant environment. Ideal for those who want to socialize. Congratulations on everything! I loved the days I spent there with you!

Great atmosphere and high spirits. Incredible place.

The hostel's structure and concept of sharing moments and spaces are nice, but the hospitality towards guests leaves much to be desired, hindering the harmonious atmosphere it aims for. Furthermore, the staff were not very receptive to suggestions for improvement during the stay. On the contrary, they seemed to reinforce the lack of hospitality. Finally, the cleanliness is very poor. In 7 days of staying in a shared room and bathroom with more than 6 people, the room was only cleaned once and the bathroom twice. Towels and bed linens had a minimum waiting period before a change could be requested.

It was my first time staying in a hostel, I loved the experience, the place was amazing and cozy, I highly recommend it.

Given the pandemic, I felt some hygiene precautions were lacking in the kitchen, such as changing sheets and towels only after 4 days, the lack of mask use in common areas for staff and guests, and the breakfast offering limited options, especially considering it's included in the daily rate. While I understand the hostel's ecological commitment, the use of disposable cutlery and cups is essential at this time, at least for the breakfast that is offered. Another issue was that we were placed in a room with a strong musty smell, as if it had been closed for a long time, and no one bothered to clean it before we arrived. After we reported this, the room was changed.

The famous ping pong table is an attraction in itself, where you can bet some beers and have exciting games. The house is located in the Barra da Lagoa area in Floripa, a super beautiful village, with great restaurants and an incredible beach. It is also close to Lagoa da Conceição, super cool. The beach is great for surfers. In short, the place itself is already wonderful, and The Search House managed with its atmosphere to make it even better.

One night the air conditioning wasn't working (in a room for 10 people with unbearable heat) and there were no fans or mosquito nets on the windows. | The bathroom was dirty all 5 days we were there (the sink was clogged with hair) and the room was too. | The day we arrived, in the afternoon we wanted to have a drink and the supposed "bar" was closed (it was closed most nights; if it had specific hours, they didn't tell us). The worst part is that even though the bar wasn't open, you couldn't bring alcohol from outside without paying a corkage fee. | We spoke to reception twice about the problems and didn't get any response. | The location is good, but the poor service makes it not worth it.

Great hostel, I recommend it.

The Search is a special place in Floripa! A cool hostel (a favorite among foreigners), with a green area, mini skate ramp, and direct access to Barra da Lagoa beach.

The staff at The Search House did an amazing job in creating a welcoming environment for travels around the world to connect, and engaged us in activities even during rainy days. They encourage environmentally friendly practices by assigning each visitor a reusable cup, and by encouraging things like recycling and short showers. The hostel is right on the beach, so we started enjoying the sun, sand, and ocean after our free breakfast every day. I tried the pizza and burgers from their kitchen and they were suuuuper tasty (strong caipirinhas too!). There’s a lot to enjoy, even on rainy days here like ping pong, Netflix on their big screen, board games and video games, local hikes, and skateboarding on their quarter pipe. I heard the beach the hostel is on is around 11 km long - it has really clean water and sand and is great for long walks. Thank you to the Search House staff for excellent service!

The hostel has direct access to the beach... and that little path to the beach is also beautiful, with bungalows and spaces to relax. It's really worth taking the time to enjoy these spaces. The hostel's location within Barra da Lagoa is also good, as it's close to the town center and you can do everything on foot. || The infrastructure is impeccable! A very large house that has been adapted for the hostel, a very large and airy living room, with spacious sofas for relaxing and a desk for laptops. The kitchen is also very large, organized and clean! There's a large table where everyone sits together, making it easy to meet new people. There are also several other tables outside, so you can prepare your meal or coffee and eat outside. || The leisure area is very spacious, as mentioned, with several tables, benches and sun loungers. There's also a lot of nature in the leisure area, which creates a very peaceful and pleasant environment. The hostel's care in keeping everything organized and clean is evident. The pool is also quite large and has two water levels, one for swimming and another more for relaxing. There's also a bar accessible from the pool. || For the first few days we stayed in the suites, which are separate buildings in the courtyard of this large house. We really liked them! They are spacious, clean, organized, and quiet! || For the last two days we opted for the shared rooms, which we also found to be quite spacious and clean. The bathrooms are very large in the bedroom areas (good showers too). Initially, we stayed in the room with five wider beds "on the floor." The view is very nice. However, as there was a guest who snored a lot, we asked to change rooms. The staff were super attentive and allocated us to the room with 10 beds. To our surprise, the room was gigantic and (SUPER POSITIVE POINT) has a very large closet. The fact that there's a closet is a great thing, because when guests want to get their luggage, there's no mess or noise in the room, since the closet is in another room. || The staff are very friendly and super attentive. || The hostel offers food promotions every day of the week, having "pizza day," "feijoada day," etc. || In short, it's very worthwhile. Relaxing in the leisure area after a day at the beach was wonderful. |||| Only negative points: || There's no juice at breakfast || There's no parking (there is, but it's only one space for whoever gets it first)

What a special place! Beautiful and cozy. You'll want to spend the whole day sitting by the pool. They have an all-you-can-eat vegan feijoada option on Sundays with excellent value for money.

The hostel has a great structure, is well located (right in front of the beach), has a pool, a bar, and staff who will welcome you very well. I recommend it to everyone who is in Florianópolis.

Best place to stay in Floripa!!! The crew is amazing and the guests are always very interesting.

An unforgettable experience

Fantastically cool and chilled out hostel that felt like you were in your own house. We stayed some nights in one of the outdoor private rooms which were fine and also stayed some nights in one of the dorms which had the biggest bathroom of any dorm I have ever stayed in. Lovely common area and kitchen and the pool and pool bar were great. Awesome to have private access straight out onto the beach from the back of the property. Will definitely come back some day.

Very well-run hostel. Friendly staff who speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese... and plenty of activities every day. Easily accessible beach.

A beautiful hostel with a large garden and great common areas. You can walk directly through the garden to the beach. Everything is very clean, and for a hostel, they offer a very generous breakfast.

Best hostel I've ever stayed in in Brazil!!!

The best hostel on the Magic Island!

Positive points: I loved the fact that it has direct access to the beach, it's very convenient. The hammock with a sea view is excellent, as is the pool area. The breakfast is good (I missed having juice, but I still liked it). The place is beautiful, clean and has a good structure. The location is very good: close to markets, buses and the Barra Canal. |||| Negative points: || - Some people on the staff care more about entertaining guests than providing good service. I understand that the interaction in a hostel is different (I've stayed in numerous hostels before), but I think there was a lack of attention at times. It's not nice to arrive with luggage, in the rain, and have to wait for the reception staff to finish playing games or chatting randomly with other guests, for example. The guy at the bar could be more friendly too: he didn't smile, didn't say "hi" and even told me to get my beer at reception. || - Rooms could have keys. I saw more than one person without a wristband/identification walking around the place, so it would be safer if there was a key (I saw other girls commenting the same). || - The pool was dirty on the days I stayed. || - I asked for an invoice and they haven't issued it yet. || - Not having to wash the breakfast dishes could be a plus (I know this is common in hostels, but given the comfort the place provides, it might not be necessary). It's not a major negative point, but it's a suggestion.

The best of Florianópolis

Excellent location, wonderful pool, always friendly and helpful staff, perfect cleanliness, breakfast exceeding my expectations, a different attraction every day, and the backyard is right on the sand of the best beach in Florianópolis.

Impeccable hostel, ideal for young people and especially surf lovers. Accommodation options include rooms with private bathrooms. Bar/restaurant. Swimming pool. Park. Direct beach access. Very comfortable, great atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

The best hostel I've ever stayed in, which is why I went for the second time, the first being in 2017. The staff is always very kind and gives great tips for visiting the city, as well as partnerships with parties. The room is very good and has air conditioning. But the best part is their bar, which serves great food, with a menu that varies every day; it's really worth it. When I return to Florianópolis, I want to stay there again!

The place, the location, the vibe, the people, everything was excellent. I would recommend it again.

Great energy, top-notch facilities, and access to the beautiful Barra da Lagoa. They also host great traveling events with free admission for guests.

I stayed with my wife from January 26th to February 7th in one of the suites. The place is very beautiful. The experience was excellent, great facilities, great people, great service, easy access to the beach. I highly recommend it for people who want to relax and enjoy great days. Congratulations to The Search House team.

Super cute hostel, amazing people, clean, organized, everything brand new and RIGHT ON THE BEACH. The best I've ever been to!

The place is very cozy. We held a team-building day there for my company, and it was great, especially because of the outdoor space they have, with a pool, barbecue, and lawn. The staff are very attentive and kind. The hostel also has direct access to Barra da Lagoa beach, which makes it even more appealing.

The wonderful seaside setting is a great place for young people to have more fun; it's number one if you want to organize a meeting or entertainment event.

Great location, tree-lined, well-decorated and cozy. Very good energy in the place.

I really enjoyed the guests at the place and made several friends. However, I was a little disappointed with some details, such as the number and cleanliness of the bathrooms, and also the quality of the bath towels. During the period I was there, the hostel was under construction and therefore I couldn't enjoy the pool and the bar next to it. The website says there are kayaks to use, but in fact there aren't (they were broken).

Excellent hostel, but a bit more expensive than most in Barra.

Wonderful place, great vibes!

Wonderful location, good infrastructure, spacious and well-organized environments. The only drawback is the lack of parking, but you can park on the street without any problems.

The best hostel in the world!

I cannot rave about how amazing this hostel is. It is like staying at your friends beach house, location is amazing, the hostel itself is beautiful and like a friends beach side house- with a walk in wardrobe! Most of all the staff are the best! Was supposed to stay 1 night but ended up staying over a week! It felt like a beautiful family- have been travelling south america for 6 months and no other hostel comes close to this. We cried when we left and have made some friends for life! Thank you for everything, love jat and emily x
