My time in the hostel was one of the best times of my life. I got life-long friends and I'm so grateful for all the experiences I had. The work in the bar was easy to learn and super fun. The energy in the house is very welcoming and positive right from the start! The hosts made me feel cared for and I knew I could always ask if I needed anything. Everything was perfect and now the hostel is a home away from home and I will return. I recommend everyone to apply to have an experience of a lifetime! :)

This was my third time at the hostel—twice as a guest, now volunteer—and it just keeps getting better. I've never found another place that blends connection, fun, and joy quite like this. What started as a trip for fun turned into something deeper. I met lifelong friends, wise guests, and a community that truly believed in me—exactly what I needed at this point in my life. Volunteering as an entertainer was a blast. The work was light and flexible, giving me plenty of time to explore Rio and connect with people from all over the world. I can't recommend the hostel enough. It's one of a kind
