I went to Barbados in December with a group of friends- We're all in our early 20's. We wanted a budget place to stay close to the action and a nice beach. The Rio guesthouse ticked off all of the boxes! Rooms are clean and quaint. Staff is super friendly, relaxed, and helpful. Location- across the street from Dover beach... More

Loved my stay at the Rio Guesthouse! The location was beautiful! Even though it is not located on the beach, you only have to cross the street & you are standing on beautiful Dover Beach! All kinds of restaurants, shops, banks, convenience stores... everything is walking distance from the guesthouse! The staff was very friendly & very accommodating! A very... More

Stayed at the Rio Guest House with a group of friends for 2 nights on the way to St. Vincent. For a group of 20 somethings it was fantastic. The owners are awesome and are used to having young people come in and out, partying to the wee hours. The place is nothing fancy, you get what you pay for... More

The Rio Guesthouse is not fancy but it is unbeatable value. I travel as a solo woman and I haven't once felt unsafe at the Rio. I generally select a 2 person room so I have a private bathroom which I prefer. The beds aren't that comfey but really...you should be spending all your time on the beach or up... More

Had a good stay at the Rio Guesthouse. However, had a single room that had no facilitates, just a bed which was find except that the particular room I was in had no mosquito nets and I got mauled all night. The walls are pretty thin, luckily there are not many guests there at a time. Good location in St... More

Booked for 2 nights at first and finally decided to stay the whole time (9 nights) because of the location. Beach is accross the street. City bus stop is at 5 min walk. Paula and Denis are very nice people. Very understanding, they answered our million questions. Very helpful as well, they booked activities for us, on our demand (as... More

We stayed in a studio as we had 1-year old baby with us. The room was typical backpacers' place - it was all right, but could be much better of course. It was spacious and quite clean but the kitchen area was a little bit dirty and ugly (we had private kitchen in studio). The shower was also broken. The... More

Thanks a lot for his wonderful stay. Was my 4th time at Rio, first time in the single room. Room was very clean. Again, I felt very safe here, managers being there almost all the time, it really secures me as a solo female traveler. The single room was perfect for the cost, lot of air, 2 fans, a little... More
