Tive uma excelente experiência no the hostel! O Villa tem a movimentação de uma pousada: frequentam muitas pessoas em família e grupos de amigos, portanto é um local mais tranquilo e sossegado, o que se encaixa bem com o que busco no momento. Ryo tem uma excelente comunicação com a gente e é bastante cuidadoso com relação à escala de turnos e combinados e se dedica a ouvir as nossas necessidades e acompanhar como está sendo a experiência para as pessoas voluntárias. A rotina é muito simples e de fácil execução além de tudo ter ocorrido conforme o que havíamos acordado inicialmente 🙏🏼🏡

Segue sendo a minha casa em São Paulo, mais uma vez foi incrível estar no hostel. As tarefas são muito tranquilas, escalas e horários flexíveis sem contar com o ponto alto que é a localização, você fica a 5 min da Paulista. Estou indo embora com data para voltar. Obrigado o hostel.

O the hostel está muito bem localizado, perto da Avenida Paulista e de outros locais turísticos. O trabalho é bem tranquilo. Os donos Thomas e Ryo foram sempre bem gentis e respeitosos me dando apoio e sobre tudo muito flexíveis nós horários e turnos..

Recebi o convite para uma "segunda temporada" no hostel e não tinha como recusar. Um dos melhores voluntariados que eu já fiz. Se você é apaixonado por São Paulo esse é o lugar. Tudo perfeito como dá primeira vez, me conectei com novas voluntárias e a experiência foi incrível, novas histórias e novas parcerias para a vida. Recomendo demais, os anfitriões estão sempre em contato para saber como andam as coisas e isso te deixa muito confortável, as tarefas seguem simples, folgas e horários são cumpridos. E quem venha a terceira temporada. Obrigado o hostel, Ryo e Tomas.

Estar na the hostel foi tão bacana q 3 meses passaram e nem vi. A localização é ótima e a pousada um jardim no meio de SP. Ambiente mt tranquilo, as tarefas são fáceis e bem explicadas, e aqui você tem a oportunidade de lidar com diferentes perfis de hóspedes e exercitar a sociabilidade e interculturalidade. Monassa me recebeu super bem; Ryo e Tomás são mt bacanas, flexíveis, respeitam combinados e estão sempre atentos para qdo precisamos de ajuda; maravilhosa Rita mantém tudo nos trilhos; Dilma, um doce; e Ju e Deborah me acolheram de uma das formas mais bonitas q já vivi em voluntariado♡
