Change The World Hostels - Açores - Ponta Delgada
We are a comfortable hostel located in Ponta Delgada, in the São Miguel Island, 20 minutes from the historical city centre.
We have beautiful gardens and a very walkable city center.
You can get to know the Island by bus or rent a bicycle if you are brave enough!
We provide you place to stay with a kitchen to cook your meals on a budget.
Come see the best views and eat the best food.
We will give you the best tips to live like a local!
The volunteers will integrate a small, friendly and cheerful team, that will be here to support you and make your stay comfortable. Volunteers will be treated with respect and we expect respect as well from the other hand. We are very open to talk and to change THE WORLD!

The accomodation for the volunteers (and the hostel) needs renovations. The paint falls on you, the beds are two old matresses put together and it’s a room with old stuff and broken courtains so it gets hot and bright. The noise due to the truck and plane traffic it’s pretty bad, you have to go to a guesst room to shower. They should hire more people, not just volunteers. There is a lot of work, I was alone for most of my time so maybe that’s why. They are strict about the schedule but they don’t follow theirs
They are a bit passive agresive in the group chat. The island compensates

We appreciated if you said that while were here. You could stayed in guests room. We have fans. We informed all volunteers before arriving that we are short-staffed. You only had to work the 5h/day and do the tasks we informed in advance. We are flexible, if asked. You can't compare a worker and a volunteer. You guys work 5h and leave. The staff has outside work and at-home work, so we compensate by arriving later or leaving earlier. You should learn to be more open and comprehensive.

The experience in São Miguel has been extraordinary. The island is beautiful!! I stayed for a month (july), and the hostel schedule allows you to explore the whole island. In the work, at first, I felt a bit lonely, as they closely monitored my tasks online through reports, but I didn’t see much of them in person. As if I were a professional in hospitality, they wanted the tasks to be done in a specific way and within a set time frame. However, progressively, they showed more interest in getting to know us, and we even organized a farewell meal together.

If you like nature this position is great! The island is beautiful and you can do a lot of things like hiking, surfing, whale watching,....
You can go around by bus or rent a car/scooter. The hostel is located outside of the center, but you can reach it by foot.
The working hours were respected and the work environment is very professional (especially the group chat). For some time, I shared the room with other guests, who sometimes had to wake up very early in the morning, which did not allow the best sleep. But all in all I really enjoyed my stay here!

it was good, in the meaning of exploring the island, even though it was hard to do it without a car. a city centre is 20min away from hostel. the work wasn’t hard at all, but i would the team to be more engaged with volunteers, as sometimes not everything was communicated before, and then it was a discommunication.
i liked this place for exploring the nature, but the experience in general was just okay

I can recommend this to anyone looking for a calm and healing experience. The Island is full of nature und friendly locals. The hostel has very good working hours which are respected and I lived in a room with the other volunteers which had it‘s own bathroom. the hostel has a big space and because I was staying during off season we sometimes had it completely to ourselves. The guest mostly only stay for one night so don’t expect to make a lot of connections but it is perfect if you really want to see the island.
