We booked a twin room with Golden Lion Hostel a year in advance to ensure we had beds booked for carnival week. Then 2 weeks before we due to arrive, we tried to reconfirm our bookings. The hostel only replied (after prompting from hostel booking website), to say that “due to a change in ownership, our booking no longer valid”. The hostel did not seem to want to honour our valid booking. The worrying aspect is if we had not chased the hostel, we would have simply arrived there in Carnival week with no booking and little chance of finding alternative……so would you risk booking at this hostel?

I don’t know what I miss most in Brazil - the country or the hostel I stayed in. I don’t even remember the last time I had so much fun as I did at Stone of a Beach.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19989
