Laundry and Reception Help at Party Hostel!

Brazil

It has an undeniably wonderful location. My experience was not very welcoming, in terms of interpersonal experience, I missed it. There's a lot of pressure to deliver the work in random ways they ask us, but could prepare a better infrastructure to host us, they put us in a room for 6 people, without supervision, no cleaning. I also think they need to think more about the experience for volunteers, and not just expect us to be workers. It has 4 floors, the reception is on the third floor and one of the things they want us to do for long hours is to be available to go up and down frequently...

Hi Danilo, you get out of the experience what you put into the experience.... as other volunteers who were there at the same time as you, had amazing experiences (just read the other reviews). We are very clear about what the tasks and functions of the position are before you accept to volunteer with us, unfortunately the first 3 weeks of your volunteer you were not committed to the tasks, and only in the last week did you show great improvement and also involvement with the rest of the team. YES - we have 4 floors, and YES - we love to help our guests with their luggage to deliver them a great experience with us!! We are also clear that the volunteer room (your private personal space) needs to be cleaned and organised by the volunteers (we dont touch or move personal belongings).

This was my very first experience, and unfortunately, as most of the volunteers I worked with, it was a very toxic and unhealthy one. Little to no training was received by part of the host/administration. Facilities kept us living in ver

Hi Georgia,
As you can see on our profile we have amazing reviews from other worldpackers including volunteers that were there at the same time as you.
Unfortunately, since we had multiple problems with you, and after many conversations to try to rectify the situation you still chose to provide negative experiences to our guests, we had no choice but to ask you to leave the volunteering early. Its unfortunate because we always had such amazing experiences wtih other volunteers.
We wish you all the best.

I stayed in the hostel for about 3 weeks and the experience was very good. The location is perfect as it is very close to most places and well connected, which allow to explore the city easily. The staff was also a big highlight since they were all kind, friendly and willing to help. Tasks are easy and the hours are well organized and flexible. Also I was able to meet people from all over the world during my stance.

I had a great experience at Rhino party hostel. The hostel wasn't in high season, so it was a very chill experience without parties, but nothing that made the experience bad. The hours are respected, the work is easy, the accommodation is good and the location is 10/10. And not to mention the staff, which was certainly the best part of my experience because they were always so kind. Thank you Alex for the opportunity. I loved Portugal and I hope to come back one day.

The experience as volunteering was incredible! I managed to do connections with people from different parts of the world. I had the opportunity to train languages and really live like a local citizen. As I spent a long time (3 months) I realized that the place is always reinventing itself and updating itself. Alex was always very flexible and the location is also great. I don't recommend it for people who have mobility problems as they have to go up and down a lot of stairs during and outside of their work shift. Overall I had a great experience and I recommend this host.

I really enjoyed my stay at rhino party hostel. I only got to experience one of our parties because we are still a party hostel in the making but Alex has some really great visions for the place in the future and I look forward to see how it all comes together. The staff, volunteers and guests I met here were all so interesting, friendly and welcoming and I'm grateful for my friendships made here. The work was super agreed upon and pretty enjoyable since you get to hang with the staff. The location is also perfect in walking distance to everything. Thank you for everything Alex and Tiago!

I had an amazing time volunteering with Alex and Tiago. All the other staff members are really nice too and I also became really good friends with the other volunteers. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to get out of their comfort zone and experience a little bit of what is like to work in a growing party hostel. Unfortunately while I was there I didn't get to experience most of the parties but I definitely plan on coming back as the place has a lot of good ideas to entertain guests and a huge potential when it comes to nightlife.
