Bamboo was my first time volunteering and I couldn't have chosen a better place, it was like being on vacation at your aunt's house with all your cousins, the culture that Bruna and Diogo have created is unparalleled the good vibes you feel, Thay ❤️, Frankie the most special kitten, and the volunteers my brothers how much I miss them Dani, Eliel, Paulo and my Joha, I learned so much about so many things thank you Bamboo for changing the way I see life, for such incredible moments and so much love, I know we will meet again

The Worldpackers description is outdated. This is a very popular hostel, so the work is demanding. You work 8 hours a day, either as a Receptionist, Cleaner or Bartender. Some shifts, all three. For 2.5 weeks of my month-long stay, there was 0 food provided. I was never given any formal training. When working the bar, if stock is missing at the end of your shift, you get charged. I'm grateful for the people I met (Vania, Thayane, Luciano, Neli), and us volunteers had some great times together. But I can't endorse this hostel, because hostels should not be 90% volunteer-ran.

My time in the hostel passed so fast, that I wished I could have stayed longer. Having Luciano and Bruna as hosts was really nice because they were welcoming and caring (still when I was sick). The hostel offers the best conditions to see the waterfalls, get to know locals and learn (for me the first time) about the tasks in a hostel. I really liked the interaction with the guests and enjoyed being trusted to do this work. Negative: the volunteers room is really humid and even though the cat Franky is sweet he leaves some smells. All in all I learned a lot about myself and met many inspiring

I honestly have to say that this is one of the best places to go volunteer here in Brazil! Highlights: -The room for volunteers has air conditioning. Hard to find in Brazil. -The place has a pool, perfect for sunny days and also provides the opportunity to go join the tours when available. -The hosts! Since this is a place for tourists to chill/have fun, be ready to come with all your good vibes to keep this place running and make it special for you, the tourists and the staff!

Bruna and Diego are awesome hosts ☀️From my side, it was the first time that the host was really interested in volunteers. They shared their food, experience and a pleasant atmosphere with us. You can feel at home here. In Foz I enjoyed the bike rides, which were always available to me for free and thanks to them I also went to the waterfalls by bike with a guide, which was a great experience and I learned more about the nature around. Muito obrigada por tudo 🩵

It was my first Worldpackers experience, so I can't compare. All in all it was a good experience. The workload matched the stated amount on Worldpackers. I enjoyed that the hostel is offering a lot of trips which you can join for free.

No hostel fui bem recebida pela equipe. Logo de início tive problema com o quarto dos voluntários, pois me deu alergia, e a gerência conseguiu me realocar. O hostel em si é animado, com muitas festas e movimento 24h. Ideal para viajantes que buscam socialização e aperfeiçoar idiomas. Não era muito o meu perfil, confesso. Sou grata por terem me recebido e me possibilitado um mês em Foz do Iguaçu. Minha vaga foi marketing e acredito que eu poderia ter me saído melhor em questão de volume de material, mas sei que as entregas que fiz foram bem trabalhadas. Fico com o melhor e desejo o bem 🩷

Fiquei de chegar pela manhã após desistência do blablacar e o responsável dado ok na wolrdpackers. Cheguei 9:00 o recepcionista disse para esperar o voluntário acordar para saber onde eu ficaria, deixou minhas malas do lado de um corredor, Às 14:00 fui ao recepcionista e ele disse para aguardar mais, voltei a estar com uns hóspedes, estavamos alternando música na tv e uma voluntária chegou para ficar no bar e tirou para botar às musicas dela sem dar a menor satisfação. Às 14:30 voltei ao recepcionista pedi o contato do responsável e só aí me levou ao quarto dos voluntários em seguida.

O hostel foi o meu primeiro voluntariado, e eu não poderia ter escolhido um lugar melhor. Todas as pessoas que encontrei por lá se tornaram amigos e pessoas que vou levar pra vida toda, me senti acolhida e em casa, é um lugar onde criei memórias incríveis em cada cantinho da cidade e do hostel. Um obrigado especial ao Gonzalo, Matheus e Hudson por terem feito minha estadia ser bem mais memorável.
