If you re in Salvador - just stay here, have no doubts. Easy to meet other people , location in Pelourinho is great, and Diego the owner couldn’t be better.

The staff/volunteers were super nice and helpful. The location was fanatic!
You have to make up and clean up your own bed, facilities weren’t great and didn’t seem too clean.

1. Amazing hosts - Diego, Yuho, Cecilia, and everyone else spoke decent english and were very helpful, friendly, and social. Diego will give you suggestions daily if you ask depending on what you want - food, concerts, things to do, etc. They even offered me fruit and juice from time to time, if they were making it for themselves and I was around. One of the best hosts in all my hostel stays around the world.
2. Well-located on the edge of Pelourinho in Santo Antônio. So just < 5 mins walk to the main tourist area but far enough to be quieter.
3. Big common area with tables, chair, sofa, bed, hammock to lounge and socialize. It has both indoor and outdoor space. Always kept clean. Very relaxed vibe and I had a lot of good conversations with the hosts and the other backpackers during my time here.
4. Decent wifi
5. They have a water filter so you don't have to make a lot of plastic waste buying single use bottles.
6. Small but Decent kitchen, with 24hr coffee already made by the hosts
1. Maybe should switch on the AC in the rooms automatically at the expected time of 9pm so that the room is cool
2. A lil worn down but that adds to its character and wasn't an issue at all

The host Diego is super helpful and friendly. Gave me all the detailed information about activities, map, restaurants, history.... of Salvador. He's always cheerful and ready to help!

So good location!
Amazing staff, we had a lot of questions and got good recommendations and answers!
Staff were keeping everything organized and cleaned in the common areas actively.
Special thanks for her who recommended chapada diamantina as the next destination as it became the highlight of our trip<3

Second time in Salvador and second time staying in Nega Maluca. It is in prime location with great staff and amenities. Staff can give great tips on what to do at night and where to visit during the day. I will definitely stay here again when in Salvador

Excellent staff, great common area. Wonderful hostel for meeting friends. Great area outside of the main tourist drag of the Pelourinho. I ended up extending my stay and stayed for almost 10 days here because I felt very comfortable. Probably my favorite hostel of my 10 week travel in Brasil.
Facilities could use some updating, as well as the sheets.

Charming, good location. Highly recommended!
Only tourists looking for sterile environment and sterile atmosphere could complain.

Nega Maluca is the perfect place to meet other travellers and a good place from where you can discover the city. Diego had every day some recommendations on concerts or parties so it won’t get boring.
That I had to leave so early:-(
