had such a great experience staying at Bamboo Rio! The location is super convenient—just a few minutes from the beach and close to everything you need. The facilities were clean, the pool area was a lovely bonus, and the atmosphere was always friendly and chill. But what really made my stay special were the amazing staff members. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. I especially want to give a big shoutout to Pedro, who always went the extra mile—whether it was offering great local tips, helping organize activities, or just making everyone feel at home with his positive energy. You can tell the team here genuinely cares about the guests. Thank you Bamboo Rio for making my time in Rio unforgettable. I’ll definitely be back!

Great hostel, with cool tours to join. We did the hike to Dois Irmaos. We rode a moto through a favela and at the top went for a quite moderate difficulty of a hike. Take plenty of water as the views at the top are worth it! Matheus was great 👍🏽 make sure to get breakfast as well at the hostel, it was very tasty! We could leave the luggage after check-out and take a shower before our flight which was great. Highly recommend the hostel!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
