Hospedaria Bem Te Vi
We are a guesthouse in the central region of Arraial d'Ajuda, a town famous for its beautiful beaches and hot nights. Here you will experience the seaside vibe in a distinctly Bahian way.
Our facility is small; I offer homestay lodging, we have a suite and a double room that share the bathroom with the other room.
The house is airy and has hammocks for a rest in the afternoon.
We are a PetFriendly environment; those who pass through here have the opportunity to live with two dogs, a German Shepherd named Zion, and a traditional medium-sized mutt named Alika. Both very docile and loving, always receiving affection from all guests.
I am looking for dynamic and proactive people; the working hours are flexible and the service depends on demand. I am looking for someone to maintain order, organization and cleanliness in the house; the service is domestic, such as cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedrooms. Since the house is small, it doesn't require a lot of effort. I will personally take care of the dogs, including their sanitary hygiene.

About the experience in: Porto Seguro, Brazil
United Kingdom
The experience at first was good, despite the extra responsibilities I had no problems with the tasks and my stay was extended by a month, but with the arrival of the new volunteer the hostel, which was only applied to my tasks, unbalanced the distribution of duties; Vinicius and Karla have a daughter, they are good people, but it is overload; the volunteer isn't prepared for that; momentary demands and using headphones to drown out the baby's crying were a problem because I wasn't paying attention to everything around. It culminated in a disagreement over a schedule that would be in the afternoon, and it was said that it was in the morning, asking me for 50 for missing.

Alexandre, we regret that your conduct did not meet the expectations of the volunteer program. The tasks and schedules are arranged in advance to ensure the functioning of the house and respect among the other volunteers. Violating these rules and the lack of focus on the activities make coexistence unfeasible. We take your experience as a learning opportunity and wish you good luck in your next journeys.

My experience was very good! The hostel is a place to feel at home, away from home. There are children, a dog, a bird, and a yard with a hammock. The neighborhood is very quiet and it is a 10-minute walk from Arraial Center and about 25 minutes from the beach. The hosts, Vini and Karla, live in the house and are reserved people, but they are always available when I need them. The tasks were always requested politely, the hours, shifts and days off were respected. The work consists in daily cleaning of the house and some domestic tasks when requested. Always possible to complete within the 3 hours daily.

The place is close to the center, you can walk everywhere and the hostel's schedules are flexible; I was able to tour and enjoy my time in Arraial. The communication left a bit to be desired, no one greeted me, nor did anyone say goodbye. The other volunteer showed me where everything was and grabbed towels and bed linens for me. Overall it was a good exchange.

We went to stay for a week, but two months have passed. In that time, we watched Mariana grow and we cheered with every little step and every new discovery. The silence of the house was the ideal environment for studying, and the location, about 10 minutes from the center, made our routine easier. In Arraial d'Ajuda, we felt safe throughout the stay. Karla and Vinícius were always available, with special mention to Karla, who was present daily, offering all the support with a lot of kindness. We left with a 'see you soon', because we know that one day we will return.

It was supposed to be a week, and two months have passed!
A place to disconnect and relax, great for those who work from home; it's quiet and has flexible hours.
We formed special friendships that have stayed with us.
