We only stayed one night but it was very clean and nice. They had people outside in the lobby and sidewalk area having drinks as a social gathering. I would recommend staying there.

AMAZING PLACE IN BUZIOS
The hostel is very well maintained, the reception and staff do a great job. They are very freindly and helpful people. I enjoyed so much that I extended my trip for 4 more days like other people from my dorm room. The hostel has such good vibes.
