I had a great time at the hostel! The whole team was super kind, welcoming and flexible with the schedule. I always felt supported and comfortable, it truly felt like a little family. The only thing that felt a bit uncomfortable was that a supervisor came into the room twice to check if we were doing the tasks. I understand the intention, but it felt a bit unexpected. Still, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it to other volunteers, I'd love to come back someday!

Overall it was a good experience. The hostel has a good location, the task were easy and most of the personal was friendly. You share the room with other volunteers but also with two people who live there permanently. Sometimes this was a bit problematic but we always came to solutions. In the end it was just as agreed before and if you are ok with the conditions it is worth a try.

I had a very good time at the hostel! The work, communication and people were good.The work hours were very respected but the work could get very tiring. The hostel is very good located! The sleeping Situation could be better. You sleep with the volunteers and two men that also work&live there in a room. The room has no door so it can be a bit loud during nighttime. All in all ,I had a very good time, especially because I was there with a good friend. But I think that the work is too much compared for what you get (sleeping situation and breakfast) Thank You for the good time!

In general, the experience was good. Marcia was always very nice and helpful. The room you sleep in needs improvements. The tasks are very repetitive and get boring over time. But I met other very nice volunteers.

I had a very good time at the hostel. Everyone was very nice to me whether it was the other volunteers, the guests or the employees, I met a lot of nice people. The work was very easy though it could be tiring from time to time. The room could use some improvement but except that everything was good. You should know that when I was there everyone knew Portuguese and some didn't know English, but that did not bother me at all, we still found ways to communicate.
