Bamboo Rio Hostel

This was my first hostel I stayed at when I first arrived in Rio and went to 5 other hostels in 2.5 weeks to see the city but this one was like that one ex you can never get over lol. So I just had to book another 1.5 weeks here because it has everything you'd want in a hostel. 1. Super friendly staff 2. Social people/areas 3. Great facilities 4. A lot of conveniences 5. And just a great vibe overall. Had some of my best memories in the city here and will always recommend people to stay here if you want to have a good time.

Free breakfast when I checked out, and a welcome drink on arrival were great! Super friendly and helpful staff, very on top of cleaning and a great organization of tours, events and parties!

I don’t normally stay in hostels, but chose Bamboo because I was concerned about safety in Rio, and - being a solo traveler - didn’t want to be cooped up in a hotel room every evening after dark. I wanted to be around people and have a nice bar on premises - and Bamboo didn’t disappoint. The hostel is in a very convenient, safe location, easy walk to the beach. I stayed in a private room, so can’t say much about the dorms, but my room had everything you might need. Bed was comfy, AC worked well. The best thing about this hostel, of course, is how welcoming the employees, volunteers and the guests are. It has a great vibe, and a lively bar, with games, etc. They do make sure to turn off the music at 11 pm, and it gets much quieter, so people can rest/sleep. They do free tours every day (didn’t get to take advantage but pics looked great). They also rage guests to various parties every night.

I had an amazing experience at this accommodation. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality truly made the stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect – close to all the main attractions, yet in a peaceful area, allowing for a relaxing and quiet stay. The cleanliness of the entire property was outstanding, from the rooms to the common areas. I also appreciated the comfortable and well-equipped rooms, which made me feel right at home. The attention to detail and the overall atmosphere created a very pleasant and cozy environment.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The cost was very affordable, which made it a great option for budget travelers. The staff (Pedro Theme, Ale, and Fabio) were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was also a pleasure to meet fellow travelers, as the guests were just as friendly and sociable. The location is perfect – it's very close to the city center, making it easy to explore all the local attractions. The neighborhood felt safe, which added to my peace of mind during my stay. Additionally, the hostel offered plenty of amenities, including free WiFi, which was a huge bonus. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this hostel to others!
