About the experience in: Arraial d'Ajuda, Brazil
Brazil
My experience at the hostel was very good, the hostel is beautiful, surrounded by nature and very calm 🥰 Ju is a really nice person, always was around there talking with people. It was flexible with the schedule when I needed, but there isn’t rotating and only one note: the morning shift is more tiring than the afternoon and she is very strict about cleanliness (which is a strong point of the hostel, it’s always clean). I got on very well with the other volunteers, Cari and Fer, and with other 'regular' guests there, so it was a very welcoming environment for me ❤️ and the pets are so cute, miss your Antô asking for food haha Thanks for having me!

A very good hostel, surrounded by nature and tranquility, very close to the beach. Great energy, I met very nice people. The tasks were super easy. Ju, the owner, is a very friendly person, and I will miss Seu, Anto, Penelope, and Cacao a lot.

It was my second time volunteering at the hostel and it was amazing! This time I could contribute with my art, painting murals around the hostel. It was a great stay; I could enjoy more of Arraial, which is incredible, and the hostel space is very cozy. Whenever I pass through Arraial, I’ll stop by the hostel!

The purpose of volunteering is not clear to the host. I experienced an extremely unpleasant situation with a volunteer, I left desperate in the early morning, and without the minimum of understanding and support, I was insulted and threatened to have my name exposed as "not recommended" in groups. The room is mixed, small, hot and without privacy. I was awakened outside of the shift to cover another person, there are misaligned charges, extra tasks that she "forgets" to ask for, which creates the constant feeling that the work was not enough; if someone feels unwell and does not keep to the schedule, they lose the weekly day off.

The volunteer was always on her phone and stalling to do the tasks, every time I turned my back. She loves to chat during work hours. The issue of waking her up for work actually happened, because I had agreed with her that she would cover a day off during the morning volunteer's week; in the second week she simply arranged a freelance gig for that day and did not wake up to work. She got into a little quarrel with the other volunteer, argued with him, and soon came up with an excuse and left.

I had an amazing experience. From the first moment I felt very comfortable: my fellow travelers were the best, always with good energy and a willingness to help. The place is simply amazing, highly recommended for its atmosphere and surroundings. Also, the owner is really friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. Without a doubt, I would return and I totally recommend it to other travelers.
