I felt uncomfortable with everything that happened there and had to leave early because I didn't feel safe. At first the manager was nice, but when the number of reservations dropped he changed his behavior drastically. After a very disrespectful and aggressive communication, the other volunteer and I decided to leave for our own safety. We tried to talk to the owner, who is not the one who stays at the house, but the messages were only viewed. If you check there are two properties on the same profile. If you volunteer want to know more details, contact me in private
A passagem da Mari aqui com a gente foi incrível! Ela é uma pessoa iluminada, sempre bem humorada, sociável e educada. Brilhou demais na cozinha e não teve nenhuma dificuldade em se adaptar ao nosso cardápio vegano, presenteando-nos com uma comidinha muito deliciosa. Sou muito grato por ter tido ela em nosso time, e espero poder ter contribuído com a experiência dela tanto quanto ela nos ofereceu. Muito obrigado Mari, e desejo a você uma jornada muito iluminada! Namastê!
Apaixonada por essa experiência! Tenho só a agradecer ao Le por por essa oportunidade cheia de conexão. O Le realmente se preocupa em oferecer uma experiencia enriquecedora aos voluntários, como aulas de yoga, meditação, fogueiras, música e muita mais. O ambiente é extremadamente aberto e todas as ideias e novos projetos são muito bem-vindos! A cidade é surpreendente, cheia de eventos culturais e belezas naturais. Recomendo muito a todos que buscam uma vivência em comunidade!

Foi a pior experiencia entre as 12 que já vivi pela WP. O quarto dos voluntários não se parecia em nada com as fotos da Worldpackers muito sujo e desconfortável. Não foram oferecidas refeições como dito na vaga. Tive que ficar sozinha desde o primeiro dia, realizando todas as tarefas do hostel ao mesmo tempo. Sou grata pelos demais voluntários porque me ensinavam mesmo não sendo seu turno. Senti muita cobrança e nenhuma preocupação com o bem estar dos voluntários. Fiquei desconfortável como o dono falou comigo e decidi ir embora. Senti que ele vê os voluntários apenas como mão de obra gratis.
