Second time volunteering! I had a great time at the hostel both times. Work is fun and you are able to interact with hostel guests from all over the world. Both groups of volunteers I was with were incredible and made the experience a blast. As mentioned in my last review Jonathan and the hostel staff are super supportive and welcoming. And previous concerns about the accommodation were improved. Thank you again for the wonderful experience!

This was my first volunteer experience, and it was incredible. The work is fun at times and allows you to connect with guests from all over the world. I was lucky enough to share with a great group of volunteers from different countries, learn from them and practice theirs languages. Jonatan and the staff members were very kind and attentive. The accommodation, although is really close to the hostel, is too small for eight people. Overall, I highly recommend this experience. Thanks everyone for this month, I was very happy :)

The hostel Lover's was my first volunteer experience which might give me a mixed view on things. The hostel itself was great and the staff were easy to work with. Jonathan himself was an amazing host and things definitely ran smoother when he was there. Definitely recommend speaking Portuguese or Spanish since the restaurant staff doesn't know English. The apartment was filthy due to prior volunteers and people refusing to clean as they left. Cleaning supplies are provided when asked but I would recommend going in the busy season since September was quite dead.

If you're a type B person who enjoys partying and doesn't mind chaos or basic conditions, this volunteering experience might suit you. However, my friend and I only stayed one night because the accommodation did not match the photos. We had agreed beforehand to share a bed, but it turned out to be a top bunk in a small, messy room. Despite this, Jonathan tried to help us, and the other volunteers were very kind. The social atmosphere is great, but the volunteers' accommodation definitely needs improvement:)
