Guest Reviews

• 3425 (10/5): Muito boa - Boa Boa
• Débora (5/5): Foi uma estadia onde fu bem reebida - Gostei do atendimento dos funcionários e do clima agradável de comunidade. Os banheiros tem cortina de plástico, os ralos estavam desencaixados, as descargas não estavam funiconando bem.
• Nascimento (10/5): -
• Leandro (9/5): -
• Henrique (7/5): Hostel básico no alto da cidade - Recepção e atendimento muito bons, indicação de onde comer e o que fazer foram excelentes. Hostel precisa de manutenção nas portas, banheiros e uma revitalizada geral. Café básico demais, frutas não estavam boas. Por ser nome Eco, esperava mais do local para sossego mas música de rádio e tv ficam ligados o tempo todo, o que incomoda quem precisa descansar. O acesso não é nada fácil pra quem depende de aplicativo como Uber.
• Thamara (4/5): Acomodação com estrutura limitada e pouca segurança, o que compromete a experiência. - Do quarto casal a cama é boa a vista é linda De início já foi ruim pra acabar a pousada já que não tem placas de indicação do local, fomos perguntando e nós achamos. Não gostei da experiência. O local não possui restaurante e nem estrutura adequada para alimentação. Aplicativos como iFood e 99 não aceitam pedidos para lá devido à localização, o que dificulta muito. Por ser um hostel, deveria haver ao menos uma cozinha compartilhada com itens básicos como talheres, copos, pratos, geladeira e micro-ondas, para que os hóspedes consigam se virar. Tivemos muita dificuldade para comer. Procuramos uma pizzaria próxima pelo Google, mas a entrega, além de cara, demorou bastante. Isso acabou prejudicando ainda mais a experiência. Outro ponto preocupante é que o banheiro é compartilhado e não há segurança adequada. Acredito que deveriam existir câmeras nos corredores. Durante a madrugada, fui ao banheiro e encontrei um homem dentro do banheiro feminino, usando-o de porta aberta. Me senti extremamente desprotegida. Por esses motivos, não recomendo para mulheres que viajam sozinhas — apenas para grupos, e ainda assim com ressalvas.

• jorge (7/5): - El personal amable y atento, el desayuno , el parking es fundamental ahí El cuarto era muy caluroso, la cama incomoda, el baño sucio. Se compartía baño con personal y con los que iban al bar o por el dia
• Guest (1/5): Foi horrível!! - Quarto abafado, nenhuma atenção dos funcionários, não tinha nada pra comer após 17:00 Quarto, piscina, sala, tudo muito velho
• Taua (10/5): Excelente - Comida excelente, cheff mexicano comida muito boa lugar agradável adorei passar um fds aqui.
• Jaqueline (10/5): - Quarto e piscina Somente do banheiro que não é privado rs
• KIMUN (4/5): 텔레그라포 진입 최적의 숙소 - 텔레그라포에 등산로 입구에 가기 가장 가까운 숙소. 바닷가가 내려다 보이는 높은 위치. 창이 많아 채광이 잘 됨. 이용하지 않았지만 수영장이 있음. 조식으로 빵, 버터, 우유, 주스, 치즈, 햄, 커피, 요거트, 과일이 제공됨. 직원이 친절함. 진입로의 경사가 심해 차량이 올라가기 어려움. 주변의 개들이 짖는 소리가 크고 자주 들림. 시설이 낡고 노후됨. 난방시설이 없음. 커튼, 이불, 시트 등이 노후됨. 야간에 조명이 어두움.
• Marcos (8/5): - Funcionários super atenciosos e bem receptivos.
• Márcio (10/5): - Vista top , tranquilidade demais o local , gostei muito , muito bom pra descansar ..

• LAYZA (7/5): Hostel Satisfatório - Hostel com uma vista linda e com um excelente atendimento do funcionário!
• Anderson (10/5): - Atendimento e café da manhã
• Marcos (7/5): Good -
• Oliver (8/5): Very good - It's close to one of the most popular trails in Rio, and if you want to be there at sunrise it's super convenient to stay there. The hostel was really quiet, as well as the surrounding areas, and the sunset over the beach looked nice too. Also the breakfast was rich, with fresh fruits and juice, much more than you normally get in a hostel. The windows don't come with fly screens. So bring your own, or you get eaten alive. The bed are quite short, and have nasty wooden frames where I hit my head and feet at the same time.
• jolyon (8/5): - nice staff, large room with lots of natural light and air. it's a tranquil place
• Juuso (8/5): Great for laying low, hiking, misses some comforts - The location far away from everything with no services nearby might throw you off at first, but after a while it's relatively pleasant. This hostel is for chilling, laying low, sunbathing and hiking. Don't expect vibrant nightlife or trendy and busy restaurants - there are none within walking distance. The hostel itself is quite dirty, but otherwise pleasant. The hosts are super nice and really care about their hostel and the guests. The facilities are reasonable, and the patio and the pool are an awesome addition! Great place to lay low and relax by reading, for example. When you walk down to the village, you get a great beach and a supermarket to keep to your belly full - the kitchen at the hostel isn't open after 4 pm. There are some great hiking trails nearby, so this hostel is awesome headquarters if that's what gives you kicks.
• Bridget (10/5): Beach hut paradise outside of Rio - Our stay was excellent at the Banana Leaf with chill vibes, great food, and lovely service. A beautiful hostel that is tucked into a hill in a non-touristy part of the suburbs of Rio. Very close to good hiking and a nice little town with beachfront bars and a little grocery store. We would highly recommend a stay here. The staff was extremely helpful and nice.
• Jorge (10/5): Great hidden paradise - It's a hidden paradise, really good comfortable, cousy, construction, an incredible view to the beach and the mountains. Clean and comfortable beds, practical clean bathroom, great space. It's hidden up at the the hill, but it worth the climb! The host really gives "friends" tipe treatment, good advises, and also sell for food.
• cold would (2/5): Please please!!! Go elsewhere - The hostel is located up a very steep hill. Plenty of walking. You will need a car to get around. The staff is okay. The staff is always asking for money for everything.. Basically bring your own food and water
