The Experience
This shift can be during the evening or night. It's mostly to give a warm welcoming to our guests! We count with your help to receive payments that we are not able to do during day time. There are always small tasks to do in case we don't have arrivals or when you are waiting for guests to arrive! Like laundry and cleaning the common areas. Can we count on you to help us make the difference? :)

I stayed withthe the hostel for a month and a half, and it was a wonderful experience. A big thank you to Carolina and Marcelo for taking care of me. ✅ Hours and work that's expected of you. Everything is very well communicated beforehand, and both hosts are available if you need help. the hostelhostelwork is simple and easily done, with clear instructions on what to do. Hours were always respected and flexible if you wanted to explorethe hostel hostelhostelisland. 👎If you come duringthe hostel hostelhostellow season you won't be able to meet many travelers, but that's notthe hostel hostelhostelhostel's fault. Highly recommend♥️

I absolutely loved my month of volunteering here! In fact, the hostelhostelwork load was very small because ofthe hostel hostelhostelseason so it felt more like a vacation☀️the hostel hostelhosteltasks were easy to learn andthe hostel hostelhosteltwo hosts Marcelo and Carolina are super nice and easy going. the hostelhostelhostel is at a walking distance fromthe hostel hostelhostelcity center (bars, clubs, restaurants, the hostelhostelmall, etc) and there is a bus stop super close to go tothe hostel hostelhostelbeach. the hostelhostellandscapes are amazing and there is so much nature to see there! Caro was very nice withthe hostel hostelhostelschedules and often put our days off back to back so we can have more time to explore/rest. Thank you!! ❤

I stayed for a month and really enjoyed it! Great vibe withthe hostel hostelhostelother volunteers and guests, andthe hostel hostelhostelwork isn't too difficult — the hostelhostelhost always respectedthe hostel hostelhostelhours and was super helpful, even when I got sick; they went with me tothe hostel hostelhosteldoctor. the hostelhostelhostel is about 20 minutes fromthe hostel hostelhostelcenter and not very busy since it was low season. It's a bit old and could use some renovation, especiallythe hostel hostelhostelkitchen, andthe hostel hostelhostelWi-Fi doesn't always work well. But overall, it's a nice and relaxed place to stay. São Miguel is beautiful if you love nature, beaches, hot springs, and hiking. Highly recommend!

My experience atthe hostel hostelhostelhostelwas very pleasant. the hostelhostelisland is charming, and so arethe hostel hostelhostelpeople who work atthe hostel hostelhostelhostel, as well as most ofthe hostel hostelhostelguests who stay there. the hostelhostelwork is usually not very demanding, andthe hostel hostelhostelrelationship withthe hostel hostelhostelmanagers is generally quite good. Perhapsthe hostel hostelhostelaccommodation for volunteers could be improved so that we can have a bit more peace and not share our privacy so much withthe hostel hostelhostelguests. Even so, I felt at home and was able to enjoythe hostel hostelhostelisland and its people during my stay there. I recommend it!

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.
