It was our first volunteering experience and we couldn't have asked for more! The managers Saulo and Thiago were really friendly and made us feel at home. The working hours and chores were very fair. The other volunteers were really nice which made the stay even more enjoyable! We felt very safe in the area the Hostel is in . A few things to keep in mind ist that the hostel is quite far from the City Center (Ipanema/Copacabana) so you do have to Uber everywhere. We didn't have that much storage space, which is a bit unpractical but manageable. Overall it was a super cool experience!

This was our first volunteering position and we couldn't have asked for more. The manager Thiago and Saulo really made us feel welcomed and we felt at home. The working hours and chores were really fair, we had to clean first and then stay at the reception. The other volunteers were really nice, which made the stay even more enjoyable. We felt safe walking around the area. A few things to keep in mind: The hostel is quite far from the city center (ipanema, copacabana,…) and there isnt a lot of storage space, which was a bit unpractical but manageable. Overall it was a super cool experience!

Loved staying in in the hostel, met a lot of locals and volunteers. The hosts have great communication and are very friendly and welcoming. It's a great place to volunteer with a safe neighborhood a close by grocery shop and mall.
