About the experience in: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Turkey
Positives: Friendly host and his family. They were warm and welcoming. Negatives: Jacaré is far from main tourist areas. No bar discounts, bikes, surfboards, or laundry as advertised. Host praised my skills on my application, but claimed for no reason that he didn't trust me with electrical work, in public, and did not put my language skills to use. Most painting was finished so I was asked to paint an unhygienic parking garage toilet outside the hostel (when there was still electrical work to do). When I refused they were quick to evict me via WhatsApp with a 17:00 deadline.

Olá, Atakan! Lamentamos muito que sua experiência tenha sido assim.
A sua função não se limitava à parte elétrica; envolvia tarefas rotativas entre pintura e reparo, as quais não foram realizadas de forma satisfatória por você. Realmente gostaríamos de ter visto mais resposta e disposição da sua parte em relação às tarefas atribuídas.

My experience at the hostel was incredible. The hostel is a project still under construction with enormous potential, and it was a great pleasure to be part of that. Victor, the host, and his team welcomed us and were very attentive to us. Many ideas, a lot of good energy and great learnings. I highly recommend the experience.

Well, I highly recommend the experience.
Flexible schedules, the activities are quite relaxed and in line with what suits you best; the host is always willing to help you and with an open mind to receive feedback.
It was a very enlightening and enjoyable exchange, the deep conversations with Victor pull you out of reality for a few moments.
The trip is still under construction, so they need a lot of help with structuring; with that, the hostel has everything to be amazing.
The area is very calm, there are markets nearby, and the hostel crew is also super friendly.
