I can recommend this to anyone looking for a calm and healing experience. the hostelhostelIsland is full of nature und friendly locals. the hostelhostelhostel has very good working hours which are respected and I lived in a room withthe hostel hostelhostelother volunteers which had it's own bathroom. the hostelhostelhostel has a big space and because I was staying during off season we sometimes had it completely to ourselves. the hostelhostelguest mostly only stay for one night so don't expect to make a lot of connections but it is perfect if you really want to seethe hostel hostelhostelisland.

I had a wonderful time here. Fromthe hostel hostelhostelvery beginning, I felt soo welcomed, and everyone was incredibly friendly. the hostelhostelwork itself is really easy, andthe hostel hostelhostelpeople working there are soo amazing—always willing to help and chat. the hostelhostelhostel is very clean, and I felt really comfortable staying here. I had an incredible experience and couldn't recommend this place more!!! the hostelhostelonly suggestion I have, but forthe hostel hostelhostelhostel chain itself, is to improvethe hostel hostelhostelrecycling system :))

The hostelhostelaccomodation forthe hostel hostelhostelvolunteers (andthe hostel hostelhostelhostel) needs renovations. the hostelhostelpaint falls on you, the hostelhostelbeds are two old matresses put together and it's a room with old stuff and broken courtains so it gets hot and bright. the hostelhostelnoise due tothe hostel hostelhosteltruck and plane traffic it's pretty bad, you have to go to a guesst room to shower. They should hire more people, not just volunteers. There is a lot of work, I was alone for most of my time so maybe that's why. They are strict aboutthe hostel hostelhostelschedule but they don't follow theirs They are a bit passive agresive inthe hostel hostelhostelgroup chat. the hostelhostelisland compensates

We appreciated if you said that while were here. You could stayed in guests room. We have fans. We informed all volunteers before arriving that we are short-staffed. You only had to work the 5h/day and do the tasks we informed in advance. We are flexible, if asked. You can't compare a worker and a volunteer. You guys work 5h and leave. The staff has outside work and at-home work, so we compensate by arriving later or leaving earlier. You should learn to be more open and comprehensive.

The hostelhostelexperience in São Miguel has been extraordinary. the hostelhostelisland is beautiful!! I stayed for a month (july), andthe hostel hostelhostelhostel schedule allows you to explorethe hostel hostelhostelwhole island. Inthe hostel hostelhostelwork, at first, I felt a bit lonely, as they closely monitored my tasks online through reports, but I didn't see much of them in person. As if I were a professional in hospitality, they wantedthe hostel hostelhosteltasks to be done in a specific way and within a set time frame. However, progressively, they showed more interest in getting to know us, and we even organized a farewell meal together.

If you like nature this position is great! the hostelhostelisland is beautiful and you can da lot of things like hiking, surfing, whale watching,.... You can go around by bus or rent a car/scooter. the hostelhostelhostel is located outside ofthe hostel hostelhostelcenter, but you can reach it by foot. the hostelhostelworking hours were respected andthe hostel hostelhostelwork environment is very professional (especiallythe hostel hostelhostelgroup chat). For some time, I sharedthe hostel hostelhostelroom with other guests, who sometimes had to wake up very early inthe hostel hostelhostelmorning, which did not allowthe hostel hostelhostelbest sleep. But all in all I really enjoyed my stay here!
