The hostel is great, lively and full of energy. The staff and owners are kind and always willing to help. The hostel is comfortable and social. This experience is all about enjoying Rio's life, especially the nightlife, because there's not much time to rest! (As for the work, just make sure you choose your position wisely, as some roles can be a bit tedious.) I enjoyed my time there! 💗

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel! The team was super friendly and welcoming and Felipe was always supportive and easy to communicate with. The hostel vibe is super lively with parties, free tours and so many opportunities to connect with people from all over the world. My tasks (photography, video making ...) were not only fun but also gave me the chance to be creative and learn new things. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone I had such a beautiful time, made unforgettable memories and even built some real friendships along the way.

I didn't expect such a wonderful first experience as a volunteer. It was truly enriching. Felipe, Dalton, and the whole staff are very welcoming and friendly people. Working at the bar is not complicated and is always supervised by a team member. Thanks to this experience, I was lucky enough to make friendships that will last a lifetime. These encounters made my stay even more special and unforgettable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to build strong connections and discover Rio. Obrigado e the hostel

This experience at the hostel will stay with me forever. I met some of the most amazing people who became like a second family to me. The Hostel itself is fantastic! Every day offers new activities and opportunities to connect with fellow travelers and volunteers. Additionally, Felipe, Dalton, and the entire team are wonderful. They genuinely care and are always ready to help with anything you need. Their warmth and support made all the difference in making this experience so memorable. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to have had this experience and cannot wait to be back!
