My experience withthe hostel hostelhostelhostelwas very good! the hostelhostelisland is perfekt for hiking, but be prepared to use Bolt orthe hostel hostelhostelbus, which very cheap but often very confusing. Sincethe hostel hostelhostelbus doesn't run very often duringthe hostel hostelhostelday to more distant destinations, I would usethe hostel hostelhosteltwo days off per week to see more ofthe hostel hostelhostelisland. I can also highly recommend watchingthe hostel hostelhostelsunrise overthe hostel hostelhostelsea. the hostelhostelhosts Carolina and Marcelo are also very nice and always there if you have any questions. If you are looking for a quiet place with incredibly beautiful nature, I can definitely recommend it!🌿🌅

It's been a beautiful month! If you love nature, this island is perfect for you. the hostelhostelhostel is a 20-minute walk fromthe hostel hostelhostelcity center, and is located in a quiet area, facingthe hostel hostelhostelocean. the hostelhostelwork is very quiet, the hostelhostelschedules are respected and you have a lot of free time. Carolina and Marcelo have always been very kind and helpful🫶🏻 Recommended experience!

I stayed withthe the hostel for a month and a half, and it was a wonderful experience. A big thank you to Carolina and Marcelo for taking care of me. ✅ Hours and work that's expected of you. Everything is very well communicated beforehand, and both hosts are available if you need help. the hostelhostelwork is simple and easily done, with clear instructions on what to do. Hours were always respected and flexible if you wanted to explorethe hostel hostelhostelisland. 👎If you come duringthe hostel hostelhostellow season you won't be able to meet many travelers, but that's notthe hostel hostelhostelhostel's fault. Highly recommend♥️

I absolutely loved my month of volunteering here! In fact, the hostelhostelwork load was very small because ofthe hostel hostelhostelseason so it felt more like a vacation☀️the hostel hostelhosteltasks were easy to learn andthe hostel hostelhosteltwo hosts Marcelo and Carolina are super nice and easy going. the hostelhostelhostel is at a walking distance fromthe hostel hostelhostelcity center (bars, clubs, restaurants, the hostelhostelmall, etc) and there is a bus stop super close to go tothe hostel hostelhostelbeach. the hostelhostellandscapes are amazing and there is so much nature to see there! Caro was very nice withthe hostel hostelhostelschedules and often put our days off back to back so we can have more time to explore/rest. Thank you!! ❤

I stayed for a month and really enjoyed it! Great vibe withthe hostel hostelhostelother volunteers and guests, andthe hostel hostelhostelwork isn't too difficult — the hostelhostelhost always respectedthe hostel hostelhostelhours and was super helpful, even when I got sick; they went with me tothe hostel hostelhosteldoctor. the hostelhostelhostel is about 20 minutes fromthe hostel hostelhostelcenter and not very busy since it was low season. It's a bit old and could use some renovation, especiallythe hostel hostelhostelkitchen, andthe hostel hostelhostelWi-Fi doesn't always work well. But overall, it's a nice and relaxed place to stay. São Miguel is beautiful if you love nature, beaches, hot springs, and hiking. Highly recommend!
