Great location and surf lessons!!

Our private room was up a set of narrow stairs and was way worse quality than some of our friends that had one in the other building. Also don’t go to Julia at reception for anything. She doesn’t know anything about hostel activities, can’t book surf lessons effectively and failed to get our laundry back in time before our departure (despite giving the laundry to her 2.5 days before departure and laundry is meant to take 24hrs). In all our years staying at accommodation and hostels, I’ve never come across a more uninformed member of staff, who was also rude to us. We don’t know what her role is if she can’t help guests with the most basic requests.

I liked the staff, the people within the hostel. Such a nice place to stay to meet people. I really loved the fact that we most of all have in common the surifng, which gives pretty nice vibes. House parties, nice location, the beach is lovely, specially if you go on January, since when I went May it was fall season, meaning there is a little bit of rain. +There is a brasilian girl in staff which is Blonde, she is very nice and always open for absolutely any type of question, recommendation and fun to chat with. Really respectful, always greeting when you see her. 10/10 Stay on the hostel.

Everything was amazing!

The name says it all: it’s a Paradise. I went back twice! Amazing surf house in a beautiful location, directly in front of the sea. Perfect to go alone or with friends, everyone and the staff is super friendly and nice! You can spend the days surfing, working and chilling at the beach. Surfing classes are perfect for beginners, the teachers are extremely good. For nights out, the surrounding area has a lot of bars with live music and Rio is just 40 minutes by uber. The rooms have a lot of beds but also a lot of storage space and several bathrooms, so there’s plenty of space! Everything is clean and comfortable. They also organize a lot of activities at night (movies, caipirinha classes, beer pong…) and overall the vibe is simply amazing. Thanks to the Longboard Paradise Surf Family!!

Loved everthing about my stay there. The staff - starting with the cleaning ladies, to the receptionists and the surf instructors were phenomenal. This place let's you dive into its beautiful vibe of lightness and safety very fast. Ive been travelling for many years now, all over the world, a place like this is a rare find that you should not miss. The location is great, so are the facilities - especially the gym. Muito obrigada to everyone for your warmth, help and smiles.

Wow! I can't contain my excitement to share my incredible experience at this hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like family. Their warmth and hospitality were beyond compare - always ready to help with a smile! And let's talk about the location - absolutely mind-blowing! Right in the heart of all the action, with breathtaking views that left me speechless. Whether I was exploring the vibrant streets or soaking in the stunning scenery, every moment was pure magic. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you to the amazing staff and this hostel for making my trip unforgettable! 10 out of 10, without a doubt!

Incredible location, right on the beach! Our suite was comfortable, modern and spacious. Bathroom was extra big. Nice breakfast of toast/eggs/fruit/coffee. Friendly staff and good on site restaurant. I liked that they had a whatsapp group for guests with daily activities.

Our friend took a surf lesson through the hostel and had a bad experience (it was his first time surfing, but was taken out to large waves since he was part of a bigger group). Also the room wasn’t very sound proof, but this is to be expected in hostels!

Beautiful space with facilities for exercise and relaxation/chill. I loved the workout room + equipment, the sauna and spaces to chill. The restaurant was so good and what a nice touch with the free yoga classes! All the staff were extremely friendly, and the surf classes were amazing!! You literally are 2 mins walk from the beach.

The bed in the main hostile was a bit uncomfortable and the walls were thin ... You could hear a lot from outside.

From the staff to the surfing instructors everyone is very welcoming , friendly, and wonderful people Beautiful hostel with the pool, with enough showers and toilets for everyone right on the beach with a beautiful view of the mountains, the islands, the beach and the ocean, very chill atmosphere, It's a surfing paradise.

The three tears beds in the share dorms, the top bunk bed is dangerous when getting in and out because the head space is very low the lockers are too small for backpacks, so everyone puts their stuff on the floor blocking walking paths and causing tripping hazards at night, The second floor toilet in the Men washroom always smells like urine showers on the second floor are too small no where to hang your towels and clothes

The location is great! Just a few steps from the beach, there are supermarkets and restaurants super close. It’s a good choice for who’s traveling alone. I would recommend this hostel for those who enjoy surfing and want to enjoy the beach

I didn’t like the cleanliness of the bathroom; it was always very smelly, even after the cleaners had cleaned it. I recommend using better cleaning products to disinfect and eliminate the bad smell daily.

It was really nice and clean. Really a nice location to relax and enjoy a little weekend trip. They always had plans and weekly activities for the guest. The staff was also really nice and friendly and always ready to help you if you had any concerns or needed any help. Would recommend this hostel :)

The only think that I didn’t like was the wifi connection. It didn’t reach the pool or even sometimes the room. It would have been nice to relax by the pool and watching something. Besides that everything was alright
