My time at the hostel was an amazing experience. The restaurant, kitchen, and hostel staff are all extremely friendly and made me feel welcomed from start to finish. The volunteers room was well equipped and comfortable, and the hostel is beautiful. The work was straight forward and relatively easy for anyone with experience in a restaurant, and the guests were very friendly. I would recommend practicing some basic Portuguese in advanced, as many guests prefer to be served in Portuguese instead of English. Overall, it was a great experience, I learned a lot and made lots of friends!

I had a great time, it was definitely an experience, the people I've met really made my stay very wholesome and will forever remember my stay in a good way. The only thing is that it wasn't that properly organized within the work, I feel I worked more than I was supposed to and other people there had experienced no flexibility within the work schedule.

Working at the hostel was an amazing experience. The tasks are light, the team is super nice and there is a lot of free time to enjoy the beach and explore the region. However, there was mould in the volunteer's room, but hopefully they're going to do something about it. Other than that, everything was great!
