It was my second time to apply volunteer work in HBB hostel, literally it was feeling like come back home, Andressa and other volunteers were so kind and energetic, like before I can meet many local travelers and talk together. the work is perfect in both practicing English and Portuguese. anytime when I come back São Paulo I will stay in HBB hostel as a volunteer or a guest. always Thank you Andressa!

Thaanks Jay. Te esperamos de volta, que voltou! Feliz de tê-lo conosco, e esperamos mais vezes retornar para nossa casinha. Quero muito te ver falar português fluente algum dia, e trocarmos várias conversas divertidas, já que no inglês já é muito gostoso falar contigo.

I had good volunteering experience at HBB Hostel. My role at the front bar was enjoyable, with clear tasks and perfect working hours. Mostly i enjoyed doing caipirihas! Andressa, the hostel manager, was flexible and supportive throughout my stay. The neighborhood is vibrant, with plenty of bars and attractions, and I always felt safe. Overall, I recommend HBB Hostel for anyone looking to volunteer and immerse themselves in the local scene of Sao Paulo!

Ountch. Obrigada mesmo Peter. Foi um prazer recebe-lo aqui, ao qual demonstrou altamente capacitado de entrega ao trabalho do voluntariado, mesmo diante as dificuldades do idioma. Nos surpreendeue nos deixou bastante tranquilo e seguro do bar estar em seu comando. Esperamos mais pessoas como você por aqui!

If you speak fluent Portuguese and don't get sick, you can have a good time there. Communication was generally poor for a host, I had to find out everything myself (e.g. when and where I was supposed to work, what the meal allowance was like (never got that btw), etc.). I was also never told what happens in the event of illness... that this doesn't happen to anyone else: either you pay for the nights you're sick or you have to leave. In a final interview, I found the host to be unprofessional.

Gostamos muito de receber voluntários estrangeiros aqui, e jamais colocamos impecilio pro idioma, estamos aqui para dividir e aprender um com o outro. Esse não foi nunca um problema. Infelizmente você não compreende espírito de voluntariar, tão pouco possui responsabilidade para troca de trabalho. Talvez apenas queria acomodação e tudo bem, você pode ser hóspede e pagar por isso. Assim não tem compromisso com horarios, tão pouco atrapalha a rotina do hostel que conta com você para o turno.

From day one, you are part of a family that became a family when they arrived. Great, fun ambient. The neighborhood is fun easy to reach the metro and bus stations. I strongly recommend the hostel and would be happy to return one day :)
