I just finished one month at the hostel. I had a lot of fun, met so many beautiful people and saw so many cool places! As for work, I cleaned for 6 hours a day, 4 days a week. The work was definitely doable and not extremely hard. The other staff is also always open to questions and help you where needed. Besides the work, you get a lot of benefits as a volunteer when it comes to discounts on party's, drinks and food. The hostel is a really easy place to meet other international people but locals as well. Dalton and Felipe are great owners who really want you to have a good time, so BIG LOVE!!

My experience at the hostel was simply unforgettable. I loved every part of my stay, from the vibe of the hostel to all the amazing people I met. I was part of entertainment group and honestly, it was the best job. It allowed me to explore the city every single day in a fun way. I totally recommend this place especially if it's your first time volunteering. The team, the activities, and the energy at the hostel make you feel at home from day one I truly wish I could've stayed longer but unfortunately, I couldn't due to personal reasons. Still, the hostel will always have a special place in my heart.

I loved my time here at the hostel! All of the full time staff and other volunteers were kind, accommodating and felt like a family :) I really respect Felipe's organization and flexibility. The job was exactly as described with expectations and hours clearly outlined each week. The volunteers are well compensated here and I felt like what I did mattered. I had an amazing time meeting lots of people within the community and practicing languages. I recommend the hostel highly and can't wait to come back :) Obrigadaaaaa

The hostel is the kind of place that adapts to every travelers' needs, if you want to be proactive during the day you'll always have an activity ready and the same applies for night time and partying. Whether it be the staff or the clients everyone is open and kind. Volunteering at breakfast allowed me to enjoy my day and also go out. The team is lovely, and you'll find a new place to miss.
