The Experience

Night shift area feared, but they are important. Someone who keep the house safe at night, and who can help cleaning so the guests can wake up to a clean nice house are very important. The tasks are house keeping and some reception duties like check ins and outs. Good to learn a language.

Alejandra and i stayed at the hostel! Hostel for over two months and loved the experience. The team were great and we were like one big family. Our role was to ensure guests had a good time - Rio's nightlife and outdoor activities during the day. The location was perfect, in a safe area of Botafogo, with the metro station just a 5 minute walk away. We were also just a couple of blocks from Arnaldo Quintela which is an iconic area of Rio for nightlife. The hostel was just 2 months old when we arrived and it was a pleasure to see it grow. Great experience over and would recommend to anybody!

Una experiencia muy linda, todos son súper amables, fui recibido e incluido desde que llegué, definitivamente un lugar que recordaré y extrañaré siempre, los horarios son una bendición con tres días libres, el trabajo es muy sencillo y súper relajado, un PLUS súper grande es que fuera del hostal hay varias fiestas gratis por ser voluntario, amei issooooo. Lindo ver como el lugar va mejorando y mejorando. Les deseo lo mejor, muito amor y si vuelvo espero volver aquí❤️

Mi primer voluntariado y cumplió cada una de mis expectativas . El lugar es ideal para practicar idiomas todo el día sin darte cuenta , y desde el primer día uno se siente en casa . Hubo algunos pequeños problemas ( lo normal cuando vives con un montón de gente ),pero hablando se soluciona todo , cero dramas. Horario súper tranquilo , Hans ( solo habla inglés) y Julio fueron los mejores líderes ,me llevó a mi familia el hostel en el corazón :risas, noches de cine,salidas y despedidas. En serio, vengan . Yo ya quiero volver 💜
