Pura Vida Hostel

“Excelente PuraVida”

The hostel offers private rooms with private bathrooms that were beautiful and comfortable. The staff were attentive and friendly, and I would definitely stay at PuraVida again, especially the little bar inside. When we stayed in a private room, some things were unclear at first, but we asked and everyone resolved our questions about breakfast, laundry, tours, etc. It was a very good experience and I recommend it! <3 I would suggest giving a heads‑up on how to get to the hostel and what to expect; seeing those motorbikes coming up and down for a first‑time tourist can feel a bit scary, but beyond that the place is safe and people are around all the time.

The kitchen is large and comfortable, the bathroom is very pretty, and Roberta at the bar gave great service.

“Fiquem no Pura Vida, não vão se arrepender.”

The vibe, the crowd, the parties, the cleanliness, the location, and Caipi Gabriela were all great. A shout‑out to Mateus, the hostel receptionist, who is a real gem! The bunk bed could be a little easier to climb up and down, a bit newer, and the rooms could use some renovation and be a bit darker for better sleep; otherwise it was fantastic.

“Très bon séjour en chambre privée.”

The atmosphere, the location, and the many activities offered are positives, but there are too many volunteers.

The location is in the entrance of a favella and feels very unsafe. The toilets are not on the same floor of your room
