+ Fui super bem recebido pelo próprio dono. O hostel é novinho. Seguro. Os quartos tem ar-condicionado. Muitos banheiros. A cozinha fica no terraço e a vista é incrível. Ainda tem uma laje com uma vista 360 da Rocinha. Fantástico!

- O único ponto negativo foi o desconforto da cama.

Traduit en anglais

I was super well received by the owner himself. The hostel is brand new. Safe. The rooms have air conditioning. Many bathrooms. The kitchen is on the terrace and the view is amazing. There is also a chest with a 360 view of Rocinha. Fantastic! The only negative point was the discomfort of the bed.

+ Brand new property, hot showers, roof terrace, big lockers. Just off the main road of Rocinha no need to get a moto, easy to get to. Friendly staff

- Rooms could be cleaned more often, not sure if it was because of the carnival but bathrooms and kicthen in females dorm was messy. Only saw someone to come change the beds but not actually clean the room.

ÓTIMO ATENDIMENTO, CAMAS CONFORTÁVEIS, ESTILO EUROPEU, HOSTEL NOVO, TODA CONSTRUÇÃO PENSADA NO CONFORTO DOS HÓSPEDES. JÁ ESTIVE EM HOSTELS EM 25 PAÍSES. O FAVELA HOSTEL FOI UM DOS MELHORES EM QUE JÁ ESTIVE. O CARLOS FOI MUITO SIMPÁTICO E SOLÍCITO. VOLTAREI SEMPRE. NOTA 10.

+ I had a great stay at the favela hostel. The place is clean, safe, and has a really friendly atmosphere. The manager Carlos speak English fluently and he’s incredibly attentive and always ready to help, he gives great advice and recommendations for activities around Rio, which made my trip even better. I definitely recommend without hesitation. On top of that, they organize rooftop parties, which are a perfect way to meet people and enjoy amazing vibes with a great view. An unforgettable experience! Valeu Carlos ! 🤙

+ The location is away from the touristy areas of Rio so you can get a different feel of the city. Carlos is super accommodating and makes you feel welcome and safe! Walking distance to beach and great street food, Wednesday Street market right outside, 10 minute walk to the beach, clean showers and toilets, and cold AC in the room. The view is also amazing!

+ You’ve no idea how cool the people are and the place is! Carlos is a heck of a human being! The hostel is new , clean and tidy, there are restaurants nearby, the metro is just 5 minutes walk as well! More important than anything Carlos feels more like a friend than a property owner! Several times he walked with me to get me what I needed, every time I asked for help, he was literally one message away! One of the best human beings I know! I told I wanted to buy a Brazil jersey , he walked with me but the price was two expensive! He literally got back to me with the jersey and gifted it to me! Can’t think of people like him!

Ivory Coast Solo traveler Mar 19, 2026 10.0/10

+ This is a new hostel (early 2026), the first hostel in Rocinha, the biggest favela in Latin America. The place is clean, modern, as AC, a rooftop, nearby great food (sushis, burger, brazilian), and the staff is kind, helpful, proud of their area, and can help you to understand and navigate the favela safely. Having a hostel in such a location is an incredible opportunity to live a very special and unique kind of experience. Forget your assumptions and open up to the experience. The favela is ran by narcotraffic, and yes you will see people with weapons ensuring the security of their territory, but it doesn t mean it s dangerous as long as you stay respectful. The area is not controlled by the state, so they have their own forces to ensure order and control, and it actually works better than in the rest of Rio. This is a safer and more free place than Copacabana, Botafogo or Ipanema. Give these people an opportunity to show their version of the story, far from the poverty romanticizing critics and the outdated poor and violent narratives associated with favelas. You will then see an incredible community that deserve a new and nuanced image. If you are ready for the experience, staying there is also a great opportunity to experience the Baile Funk Parties happening over the weekend. But be ready for something intense, not for everybody.
