Staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the communal evenings. Only 10 mins from the town and close to the beach. No bar but very good value for money. Thanks for a great time :)

Great place to chill and relax for a few days. The breakfast was one of the best I've had in S. America. Really spacious kitchen with lots of pots and pans etc. Excellent value for money. Would def recommend.

I initially booked to stay for only a couple of nights but ended up staying a week! location is close to centre by van - they are very frequent, even in the late hours and only cost 2R. 10min walk to geriba beach. There is good wifi and decent breakfast. The atmosphere was great and the owner/staff are super friendly and helpful. The kitchen is clean and plenty of utensils for cooking, a good supermarket is 2mins walk away; cooking is easy and can bring your own alcohol.

They dont accept credit or debit cards. The owner is aggressive. A big cockroach appeared in the room. Also the wardrobe of the private room was used by the owner. The didnt change the sheets during seven days. The girls of the Staff were very friendly.

I'm sorry that u had bad time here but that's a unfair comment. The only way of the cockroach appears is because u left open the insect net window open and the if u had didn't asked to change sheets. I just talk hard to control the behave of the guest and keep the hostel super clean but I solve any problem of my people. I remember that u were that couple that don't make any friends, shared any drink, take any photo, never smiled, never showed happiness. U gave a 30% even for security to the only hostel that has fingerprint access control!!!

This is one of the best hostels I went during my trip trow south america. The staff is really nice, the location is perfect (very close by the best beach Geriba where you have a good surf) , you can bring your own drinks what means a lot of parties. Because the hostel is not that big you get very fast a close group of people. What mad the stay in Buzios a 100%. Thanks a lot Renan (the owner)!

Nice hostel on the lake which is 10 minutes from the main centre on a shuttle bus that comes every few minutes. geriba beach is only a few minutes walk. the hostel has a good kitchen to cook and you can bring your own drink. the dorms are basic enough but the beds are good quality. owner and receptionists are very helpful

I stayed in the 4 bed dorm which was clean, comfortable and had a balcony which looked out over the lagoon. The staff were both helpful and fun. They helped me plan my trip and also organised the entire hostel to go into town for drinks. Would highly recommend it for anybody spending time in Buzios.
