It was very pleasant to stay and help at Gnomo with very adequate, polite, helpful manager Raissa. She is good at her position and also experienced traveller and volunteer. Because of nice atmosphere and easy tasks we stayed even longer. Wish you all the best and keep going

I would like to share my experience respectfully and objectively, hoping it will support future improvements. Overall, this was not the most comfortable volunteering experience for me. Laundry is washed all together — guests' clothes, volunteers' clothes, — which may not be hygienic. Washing items separately costs 40 reais per load. Flavio may not always be aware that physical contact with an unfamiliar woman can be inappropriate, even if unintentional. The barrack where I stayed had structural openings that allowed water to enter, causing my belongings to become wet.also there its insects

Acho uma falta de respeito ela ter falado que toquei nela, pq isso não ocorreu de forma alguma. As pessoas como ela devem ter traumas e confundem as coisas, pois nunca a toquei nela a não ser um aperto de mãos na sua chegada aqui, pois na saída dela sequer eu estava presente. Por isso tenho evitado, agora mais ainda, estrangeiros, pois esses não sabem se comportar no Brasil, a maioria não tem aptidão para trabalhos braçais, reclamam demasiadamente e sao péssimos para qualquer trabalho braçal.

Gnomo is a kind and patient host. He was welcoming and thankful of the work that I helped him with. Gnomo and the other organisers were patient with my basic Portuguese and made me feel welcome. In general the work was not too difficult and there were good vibes in the campground. The campground is very relaxed and I found it a great place to slow down with lots of hamocks to read your book in.

We had a great Time here. We worked on the beaches and Cleaned all around. The Facilities are amazing and there is a lot of spaces to chill. We met a lot of nice people there with one exception. The Owner of the Place showed very disrespectful and inappropriate behavior towards a Girl I was traveling with. He made remarks on her body and said a lot of inappropriate stuff in general. Other People there has the same experience. While the Volunteering Itself was really nice the behavior of the owner was just not tolerable. It made our stay quite uncomfortable especially for my female friend.

Ficou chateado porque não renovamos, faço comentários sobre tudo e todos, esse é o meu jeito e nunca fui desrespeitoso. Vc é quem tomou dores e resolveu avaliar assim porque nao renovamos com voce quando pediu a renovação. Se vingou com baixeza na avaliação. Uma pobre e infeliz atitude de criança que é. Por isso nao renovamos e nem vamos aceitar se um dia quiser voltar. Aprenda a receber nao, nobre alemãozinho infante.
