Hostel Sunrise
We are a fun hostel in a great location for beach and nightlife. We try to keep a family type environment. We host our own parties sometimes and we are situated in a spot with an AMAZING view of the city and there ocean.
We treat all our volunteers with respect and we try to make sure they have a good time in Rio. We go out together, and do activities to build friendship.

My experience was positive: I was treated very well, schedules and tasks were carried out as agreed and the shifts were well divided. The environment between guests and volunteers was great and I made good friendships. However, during my stay, I saw four volunteers being asked to leave, some well before the period agreed upon on the platform. I don't know the reasons, but from living with others I saw these people fulfilling their roles well and being helpful. Seeing this happen a few times gave me a sense of instability, and I think it's important that future volunteers know about it.

No Hostel Sunrise, we prioritize safety, respect, and the well-being of everyone. We do not permit the use of illicit drugs and we expect volunteers to follow the rules and contribute to a positive environment. When this does not happen, even after guidance and opportunities to adapt, volunteering may be terminated. Volunteers who left the program had already stayed beyond the initially agreed period. We will always work in a reciprocal manner in all cases. All the best :)

We spent three months at the hostel and, although we started on the wrong foot, our stay there only got better! The hostel was the home where we created the family that gave us a home in Rio, the area where it is located is very good, near the Santa Teresa neighborhood, picturesque and pleasant to walk around. Also near Lapa where the best outing in Rio is. People from all over the world come to the hostel, that helped me practice my English and Portuguese, as well as to learn about other ways of life. The volunteers' house is small but functional. It is necessary to keep it clean.

My experience at the hostel was good! The hostel is really nice, the neighborhood is very quiet, but close to bars and the center, and it has a pool with an incredible view. The tasks are super simple and any issue that arose was solved by talking. I made some very valuable friends, it was a good experience.

Excellent volunteering experience, it's a pity I had to leave before the agreed time because I found a job. But given the short time I was there, I highly recommend it! The work environment is very nice, the tasks are easy, and the location is excellent.
