The location was good , and conditions acceptable if you had no money to look for a better place . I had 5 day reservation pay for it, and left the next day . Perfect for backpackers or anyone that don’t care about looks .
Nicely located place, decent breakfast, some interesting travellers, and lots of space to hang out or sit in silence. The neighbourhood is apparently not the safest but I didn't have problems.
You wont find a better hostel in Lapa. The staff is kind and helpful, they have the better información about almost everything in Río. There are pool parties all sundays.
Rio Forest Hostel was like a villa on the cliffs of Rio. Scenery beautiful accommodations wonderful staff very helpful and delightful. All you could wish for in a community that was nostalgic and gorgeous. The staff was wonderful and catered to your every need. I give this hostel 5 stars and would definitely return here whenever in Rio de Janeiro.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Bautiful Hostel, nice location
Beautiful hostel, nice private room, friendly staff. The cleaning service was not that good and we didn't get fresh towels during our stay (4 nights).
Overall a good experience marred by:
-dozens is stairs needed to get to the hostel from the street. Not noted In previous reviews.
- noise New Years midnight to 6am as they hold a New Years party. Rio Forest refunded our room payment for that night. Wi-Fi worked, room was comfortable.
