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 :))

It was my first experience, Carolina is very kind and helpful, the hostelhostelwork is very simple and without pressure. the hostelhostelhostel is very close fromthe hostel hostelhostelocean, but there are no beaches nearby. It is located outsidethe hostel hostelhostelcity but you can reach it on foot or by minibus, there are also buses to visitthe hostel hostelhostelisland. I recommend it to those looking for a quiet environment and those who like nature :)

I overall had a great stay atthe the hostel. the hostelhostelwork was straightforward and manageable, the hostelhostelhours were clear, andthe hostel hostelhostellocation was fantastic. Exploring Ponta Delgada and São Miguel was amazing. the hostelhostelonly reason that I took off a star was becausethe hostel hostelhostelgroup chat felt very tense at times - employees sometimes took a very confrontational tone with volunteers, reprimanding one of us in front ofthe hostel hostelhostelwhole group. I was rarely onthe hostel hostelhostelreceiving end of this, but it was uncomfortable for everyone. Otherwise, I had a great stay, and I would recommend this experience!

I had a great time at thethe the hostel Ponta Delgada. If you're fine with doing a lot of cleaning and if you have an awareness for what needs to be done this position will probably suit you. I enjoyedthe hostel hostelhostelmorning shiftsthe hostel hostelhostelmost...As I didn't take a break I could get off at 1 p.m. and enjoy my leisure timethe hostel hostelhostelrest ofthe hostel hostelhostelday. In winter it rains quite a bit but I was aware of that before so that's not too bad and alsothe hostel hostelhostelweather canthe hostel hostelhostelhostelreally quickly. the hostelhostelhosts were very friendly and helpful... I recommend renting a car for exploringthe hostel hostelhostelisland.
