Had a really good experience volunteering as a receptionist in the hostel! The vibe was relaxed but organized, and everything ran smoothly thanks to Gustavo's exceptional support and good energy. Always available when needed and super easy to work with. Would definitely recommend the experience!

I spent the last 2 months in the hostel and I'm glad that I chose it as my first volunteering experience. I worked in housekeeping and the working hours were always really good. The work was simple and everyone on our team, especially Paula, were amazing and ready to help if needed. Our boss, Gustavo, was always down to chat and have fun with us, which was great. The hostel in itself is really clean and well located, but it isn't the most social hostel. Despite this, there is always night life in the city center, so you won't get bored. I would recommend this experience!

This was my first Worldpackers volunteering experience and I honestly didn't know what to expect or if I'd last the full two months, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. From the moment I arrived, everyone made me feel so welcome and at home. Working at reception, Gustavo was amazing - always clear, respectful of hours, and just a call away if I needed help, but also always up for a laugh. The other volunteers made everything even better; from late-night chats to exploring together, they made my time here unforgettable. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

The hostel was my first experience with WorldPackers and it was the best choice I could have made. The hostel is perfectly located in the city center, it's very clean and comfortable. During my stay I worked at the bar and the shift hours were fully respected and the tasks were very easy and clear! Gustavo and Paula were extremely helpful and always there to answer any questions. The volunteers are all friendly and we created amazing memories together! I fully recommend it♡

Had such an amazing experience at the hostel. As many reviews already mention, every aspect of the volunteering is well-organised, easy and enjoyable. But above all, what matters are the human connections: Gustavo and Paula are two wonderful people, always ready to help, listen, understand and comfort. During this experience, I had the chance to meet incredible people, building new friendships, creating a deep bond with all the other volunteers. The only difficult part was one: saying goodbye and leaving the place, and the people that I considered home for two months.
