The people were great—both the staff and fellow travelers. The location was perfect for me and I felt safe the entire time.
I don’t want to be too harsh, especially since the staff were kind and the common areas were ok. That said, the room itself was a bit of a let-down—extremely cramped for six people, with only four lockers, and a strong musty smell likely due to poor light and ventilation. The place feels quite dated and could use more care overall and even had 2 roof leaksin the room...also the breakfast didn’t feel worth the 30 reais—you’d probably be better off grabbing some groceries and making your own. Maybe ok for a very short stay but I had 13 days and left after a few days - so did others.

Disappointing
The common areas are ok, young people around, nice terrace. free drink for guest who book through Hostelworld.
Bedrooms and toilets were terrible. Dirty walls, dangerous electric wires uncovered, wardrobes rusty and broken. Toilet basing with blocked and overflowing drain. It look like a place completely forgotten by their administrator.

I love the location, the vibe and the staff. All were lovely which is what travellers what! Couldn’t fault any of those things at all.
There’s only a couple things that I would criticise: 1) there’s only 4 lockers in a room for 6 people, the reason for this is because the room is quite small which I understand. This is only a little criticism. 2) I think what would be really nice to see and would get you a 9/10 rating, is you installed little plastic shelves/pocket/holder on the wall for people staying there. Then people can put their belongings that they need during the night because the room is so small and a little bit cramped things like this would mean people don’t have to keep getting up and down to use a locker (if they do have a locker). These are only little things that I’m mentioning because I want to help your business. But this is my second stay at CabanaCopa and there is a reason for this! :)

Good location, the staff is nice, and the hostel has a very social vibe. In addition the bathroom is clean and there is a good air conditioning.
The rooms are a bit too small and are lack of space

A basic hostel in an excellent location with pleasant and helpful staff. Easy walking distance to the metro, supermarkets, eateries, and Copacabana Beach. It felt very safe. Cleanliness was good.
The terrace is underutilised. A rooftop bar would make a huge difference. The kitchen is adequate, but it could be better. The common area on the ground floor has a poor layout and should be reconfigured to encourage greater interaction between guests.

Location is amazing and other guests were super fun and nice. AC works, hot water in the showers, WIFI worked well. The neighborhood seemed quite safe.
VERY dirty. Price doesn't match cleaning level and facilities. Some stuff missing - no hooks on the beds and in the showers, no lights by the beds, no laundry service (laundry around Copacabana is very expensive). In the kitchen there's no kettle (kinda normal for South America), but also not enough pans/utilities, kitchen is SUPER dirty. When you check-in, they just tell you to pick whatever bunk is free (the mattresses were all dirty, covered in sand/crumbles, not a nice check-in experience - you don't want to spend 30 minutes cleaning after previous guests and making a bed).

Professionally operated hostel with staff continually available for help and queries. Good locker space in the 10 bed dorm = 5 double bunks with ample space top and bottom bunk. I enjoyed my stay here
The optional simple breakfast (served, therefore limited) was good, though overpriced at R$30

Pleasant
The location was good and the value for money was fair. If you're not super picky about tidiness it's an ok choice to save some money. It's near the subway and not far from the beach.
The building had poor ventilation and exposure to sun, causing a constant "wet dog smell" in the hostel. Day-to-day cleaning was not terrible but the building needs renovation, so it never felt like actually clean. The room was pretty small but for the price, I guess it's fair. The power outlet near my bed was buzzing constantly which was annoying. Common areas were not great either but some people were interacting. I would not return myself but if you only need a place to crash, I'd say it's fine cause the price was good.

The place was affordable in a good location. There was drinking water to refill your water bottle, and the air conditioning was nice! The beds all had curtains.
The room smelled quite bad and the lockers were very loud. The beds were squeaky.
