Do not stay here. In my 4 days staying here over new years, I found there to be frequent blackouts, water outages, poor cellular reception amongst other issues. The rooms were dirty, had rat poo on the floor when we first arrived. The staff treated our room like it was their own, opening the doors without knocking and entering the rooms without saying a word to us. There was big privacy concerns staying here alongside major cleanliness issues. All of the cupboards and drawers were broken and the shower only had a cold tap. Amongst all these issues, the biggest was the huge climb to the hostels entrance from Copacabana beach. Despite looking close on a map, Le House Hostel is a big uphill walk from the beach, with a constant stream of fast moving traffic up the single road to the hostel. I was almost run over a handful of times because of the poor location.

Worst place i have ever stayed st in my entire life. Ac breaks down every other second. And do not expect any service or niceness of the guy. Im not the only person either. Im sitting at 4.30 now out of my room because of a broken ac. I went to a different room with many empty beds with a working ac and the reception guy came in and started screaming(!) while people were waking up from him. Now Im sitting somewhere else having given up sleep entirely in the hostel. I really feel like the worst experience.

All comments must be false because it looks like a homeless shelter. Except homeless shelters are free… Cold welcome. Dirty rooms. Have to make your own bed. I left as soon as I arrived as I saw a bedbug crawling on the filthy mattress. I got refunded without any questioning.

!!READ LOW RATINGS FOR THIS HOSTEL!! The reason their rating is high is because they pay people to write positive reviews. It was 100% the worst hostel I’ve stayed in in my 8 month trip. When we checked in we were given a bag of bedding each to make our own beds, and our tour consisted of the lady at reception pointing to the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom on the CCTV on the computer. There was no soap in any bathroom, the shower was both cold and electrocuted you every time you touched the tap to turn it on. Never hot water, often no water at all. My friend had a mysterious stain on her mattress which looked like vomit. The staff (not the volunteers) seemed not to care at all - one even said there was no air con because they were too lazy to walk upstairs to switch it on. !!DO NOT STAY HERE!!

The worst hostel I’ve been to so far - The patio door to the bedroom would not close so there were plenty of mosquitoes in the room. Sleeping was hard. It got unbearably hot. The shower knob had an electric current going through it and I got shocked whenever I would shower. Very dangerous considering that there is water flowing. The kitchen could use some cleaning.
