Great hostel, Amazing location and great vibe. The only thing that was unexpected was that is an Israeli only hostel, meaning most of the people you'll meet are from Isreal. Other then that had an incredible time.

Ser babá da Estrela foi minha primeira experiência de voluntariado e acredito que não teria começo melhor! O diálogo com os pais dela é sempre aberto e respeitoso, os horários são seguidos conforme o combinado. A Estrela é uma criança muito esperta e cheia de energia - precisa conseguir acompanhar essa disposição. É um aprendizado mútuo e constante. Minha única sugestão de melhoria seria em algumas questões do apartamento cedido aos voluntários. Facilitaria muito ter um filtro no ap, aqueles de barro mesmo, para que nós enchessemos.

Ser voluntária por dois meses no the hostel foi uma experiência incrível como babá da Estrela! Estive sempre rodeada de estrangeiros e pude falar em inglês diariamente e praticar espanhol, além de estar em contato com diversos outros idiomas. Fui muito bem recebida, instruída e acolhida. A comunicação com os pais da Estrela foi sempre muito boa, os horários sempre cumpridos e tudo feito de forma correta. Agradeço muito a Pollyanna e Lucas por tudo! A Estrela é uma criança muito preciosa, amei cada momento ao lado dela. Muito obrigada a todos do hostel pela experiência!
