10/10

We had a really fun four days at El Rio Hostel. It’s definitely a party hostel, which suited us, and the place is otherwise top notch and worth visiting. G, one of the volunteers, was a lovely guy and gave great service at the amazing bakery. Reception could be slow, though. Staff were around, but queues often built up when people just had quick questions.

The parties every other day were a lot of fun, and the river is well worth enjoying. The food was good quality for the price, and the people in the communities were amazing. Manu at the front desk was really helpful, and the whole team was always ready to help and serve. Definitely come by.

We had so much fun at Rio. The hostel activities were great, and the organisers did a fantastic job. Matt in particular got us to try tipsy tubing and join the volleyball tournament, which made the stay even more fun. 10/10, I’d definitely recommend it. :)

El Rio is such a good hostel, and I’d recommend it to other travellers. I especially loved eating there: the food was delicious, and the restaurant staff were so accommodating. Tim Auckland made me feel welcome and went above and beyond throughout my stay.
