It was a very beautiful and special experience. I felt very warmly welcomed from the beginning; the people were very warm, kind, and always willing to help.
Additionally, this experience helped me a lot to loosen up more with Portuguese, lose a bit of shyness, and gain confidence to communicate in daily life. I carry good memories, lessons learned, and a lot of affection for the people I met. ❤️

My experience at Babi was wonderful. I felt Raí like a brother, always attentive to make me feel comfortable. It's a unique place to live the beach experience, with fabulous companions who make you feel at home. I learned a lot, greatly improved my Portuguese, and I carry unforgettable memories. Thank you for everything; I will never forget Babi or São Chico

So much vibe! The hostel's setup is awesome, the staff are always respectful, upbeat and high-spirited. It's a place where it's very easy to connect with the local beach crowd, besides the fact that it's located 100 meters from the prainha. Gustavo and Raí are really nice people, fun to hang out with and understanding. It was an awesome experience being here at Babi this month.

Babi is unnecessary here, the facilities are comfortable, the hostel is very well kept and has a really lovely vibe. The tasks are accessible, it's good to have the desire to do things well because the hostel's level is top and everyone puts a lot of effort to make everything work well and the experience be good. Looking at my diary I wrote a few weeks ago "I feel at home, surrounded by good people whom I feel a lot of affection for and I'm glad to meet up every day" and that pretty much sums up my experience here. Gus and Raí, Debs and all the staff are very special to me, I love them 🧡 thanks life, thank you Babi ✨️
