Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: If the reason for your visit is to experience the culture of Salvador with all its amazing music, dance and cuisine, there really is no better place for you to stay at than Tamboleiros: located right in the heart of Pelourinho, close to where all the magic happens (e.g. 1min away from the famous Bar do Neuzão), walking distance to shops, pharmacy, bars, restaurants etc. When it comes to facilities, the hostel has everything you might need: fridge, freezer, washing machine, fully equipped kitchen with a cooker, microwave etc. I never had a single problem with the levels of cleanliness etc. during my stay there either. It’s a simple place, but well equipped, always clean and safe. But it’s not the location or facilities that made my stay at Tamboleiros so special: it’s the wonderful people who work there. From the start, Edu, the owner of the hostel, has been the most welcoming and helpful person a guest could ask for. Whatever question or problem I had, he went above and beyond to make sure I was sorted. This included e.g. showing me the area, taking me to the food market, picking things up from the pharmacy when I was unwell, always offering coffee, sharing food, taking me on trips to nearby beaches or islands alongside other hostel guests. As a solo female traveler, it was very important for me to feel safe and secure and he definitely played a part in that. At the same time, he was never intrusive (which some hostel owners can be) and always respectful of the guests' space. Other employees of the hostel, Rafa and Jack, were wonderful too and contributed to making my stay beyond comfortable and enjoyable. Every day they greeted me with a big smile and willingness to lend a helping hand if needed. All three made me feel so welcomed and included that I ended up extending my stay at Tamboleiros from the initial one week to many more weeks after that. INCREDIBLE & UNFORGETTABLE! I would 100% recommend and go back time and time again!
Negative: The only thing that could maybe be improved is a the wifi connection. It cut off a couple of times during my stay (only for max. 5min) or fail to reach all the rooms but, in my experience staying in hostels in Brazil, it is not uncommon in general. Overall, this wasn't a big issue.
Summary: A wonderful hostel which felt like a home / Um albergue maravilhoso que parecia uma casa
