I'm very happy to have come here!!! Everything was super organized, the hostelhostelto-do list, schedules and volunteering routines, these were days full of connection, learning and joy. Azores is incredible, beautiful landscapes, stories and cultures.

I enjoyed myself during my 3 months stay atthe hostel. the hostelhostelhost stuck to our agreed hours, and because I was there inthe hostel hostelhostellow season, I sometimes got off early. I did feelthe hostel hostelhostelrelationship withthe hostel hostelhostelhosts was more employee/boss but I got on really well with some ofthe hostel hostelhostelother volunteers and got to explorethe hostel hostelhostelisland with them. Whilstthe hostel hostelhostelIsland was beautiful, as a young woman I didn't feel completely safe with some ofthe hostel hostelhostelmen, so would caution any women to be careful. (This of course wasn't a fault ofthe hostel hostelhostelhosts, they were lovely)

I had a good first experience volunteering thanks tothe hostel hostelhostelhosteland both hostesses were very nice. There are positive things, such as: having your schedule forthe hostel hostelhostelwhole month in advance (so you can plan ahead), the hostelhostelwork is easy, andthe hostel hostelhostelisland is amazing. However, it is true that there are some downsides too, like: having to share a room with 3 other people (two of those guests who constantlythe hostel), andthe hostel hostelhostelhostel being onthe hostel hostelhosteloutskirts ofthe hostel hostelhostelcity (with streets not particularly safe for a girl going alone). But, overall, it was a good experience!

I had a very good first Worldpackers experience. the hostelhostelschedule was made by month, I personally had a private room and sharedthe hostel hostelhostelmajority of my stay with another volunteer. the hostelhostelmorning work is not hard (I did breakfast, laundry and common area cleaning from 8:00 to 13:30) althoughthe hostel hostelhostelbosses are a bit demanding and attentive to detail. Overall, it is very easy to meet people there (volunteers and travelers) and get in touch withthe hostel hostelhostellocals too, sincethe hostel hostelhostelstaff is fromthe hostel hostelhostelisland.

Even though it was her first experience we believe that Leire was very helpful.
The staff always try to bring the best on volunteers being present and saying where they can improve and she took every advice nicelly.
It was very nice to meet her.

San Miguel is really beautiful island and hostel is close tothe hostel hostelhostelcentral area. Work was easy, but quite monotonic and also depends onthe hostel hostelhostelseason. Hosts were little bit strict tothe hostel hostelhosteldetails. But overall I would recommend to going there.

I stayed one month atthe hostel hostelhostelHostel and can definitely recommend going there. the hostelhostelhostel itself is quite nice andthe hostel hostelhostelhosts were very welcoming and friendly. In my opinionthe hostel hostelhostelwork is completely managable. I worked during morning hours most ofthe hostel hostelhosteltime and hadthe hostel hostelhostelwhole afternoon and evening off. You get your timetable forthe hostel hostelhostelwhole month what is very nice in my opinion, because you can already plan your days off. São Miguel itself was like a little paradise to me and i can especially recommend it to people who are big fans of nature and hiking.

I stayed inthe hostel hostelhostelhostel for a whole month and it was probably one ofthe hostel hostelhostelbest decisions I've ever made. São Miguel for me was like paradise and I learned a lot, not just about hostel chores, but also about life, people and how to be by myself. Carolina and Liliana are both super nice and I enjoyed working inthe hostel hostelhostelhostel a lot, with it's ups and downs of course, but it was all worthy. I 100% recommend this experience!

Fue un voluntariado muy tranquilo, cabe aclarar que estuve en época baja de turistas. Las tareas son sencillas y está todo explicado con anterioridad, al igual que los horarios y días de descanso. Puede que algunos días tengas que estar pendiente de los check-in fuera de tu horario, pero luego te compensan las horas, y puedes salir antes de tu horario. La isla es hermosa y el hostel está ubicado justo en frente del océano. Lo recomiendo (:

O voluntariado foi muito tranquilo, me cederam um quarto separado porque eu precisava trabalhar dois dias por semana no período da noite. As tarefas são tranquilas e fáceis, apesar de serem feitas exatamente como recomendam. Eu trabalhei quase sempre no turno da manhã e pra mim foi muito fácil de realizar tudo. Deve ser analisado a questão de um tempo de pausa (informam ser opcional) mas colocam no seu horário aumentando 5 horas semanais na carga horária combinada. Então recomendo que entenda muito bem o que eles consideram tempo de pausa durante seu turno e se quer manter essa pausa ou não.

Agradecemos a sua ajuda durante o mês de Dezembro.
Em relação ao horário, tal como foi explicado, colocamos 1h de pausa no horário para que ninguém passe mal e, há sempre a opção de fazer horário seguido se o voluntário assim o decidir, que terá que nos ser comunicado.
Ter pausa de 1h não significa, de jeito nenhum, trabalhar aquela hora a mais. Significa sim ter 1h de descanso para preparar comida, comer ou mesmo descansar.
Obrigada pelo comentário.
