Absolutely loved it staying at the hostel. It is very well-located with all the amenities you can need readily available. The staff were all welcoming and very open to frequent communication if I had any questions, but also even just to recreationally socialise outside working hours also. There was always some activity to do so the atmosphere was very lively and enjoyable and this also means it was easy to get to know people and make friends. The work hours were very reasonable and were accommodating when unforeseen circumstances popped up. Highly recommend it.

I had the most incredible time at the hostel. This is the best volunteering I've ever done! The environment is so welcoming and fun to be around. I've made life long friends here with the volunteers, staff and guests. I would love to come back one day.

The hostel is great, lively and full of energy. The staff and owners are kind and always willing to help. The hostel is comfortable and social. This experience is all about enjoying Rio's life, especially the nightlife, because there's not much time to rest! (As for the work, just make sure you choose your position wisely, as some roles can be a bit tedious.) I enjoyed my time there! 💗

The hostel is a hostel where there's always something going on, and it's usually packed with people, so if you're an open-minded, energetic person, you'll fit in perfectly.

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel! The team was super friendly and welcoming and Felipe was always supportive and easy to communicate with. The hostel vibe is super lively with parties, free tours and so many opportunities to connect with people from all over the world. My tasks (photography, video making ...) were not only fun but also gave me the chance to be creative and learn new things. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone I had such a beautiful time, made unforgettable memories and even built some real friendships along the way.
