An amazing experience, everyone felt special, including Danilo, "crazy talk, conspiracy theory, science fiction, aliens, lol" The hostel's setup is perfect, with various sports equipment, very well located, not to mention that it is very close to Pampulha and the zoo. Since they said I could come back, I'm coming back for sure!

What can I say about César ?? This guy is a true prodigy... We were very sad to see you leave, friend... We really hope you have a journey of learning and great value for your self-development... We will always remember you, not only for the conspiratorial conversations, but for the vast dedication with which you devote yourself to solving problems and situations... Your diverse skills make you a true GETNINJA of Worldpackers. Gratitude for the dedication... Let's go

My experience at the hostel was incredible; Sergio and Danilo made me feel at home, both with an incredible education, good communication and patience; I had many laughs and great experiences, they are people I will carry with me for life, with much affection; The hostel is a great environment, the tasks are light and everything is well arranged; I had no difficulty with anything, it was great and one day I plan to return; I highly recommend the hostel for volunteering and guests as they do everything with a lot of care and dedication for everything to go right; it was an immense pleasure to be part of this hostel family, thank you for everything, it was incredible.

Samanta, trying to put into words your warmth and friendship is a bit of an understatement, because words can’t fully describe how much we’ve learned from you and from your skills and experiences... We sincerely hope you have success and lots of happiness, regardless of the field or undertaking... we will always remember you from our time together here, with all the variety of films and documentaries, and conversations... please come back anytime... and always keep that positive vibe. We are waiting for you with fond memories.

A great experience, with some points to improve like any place or person, especially communication, organization with the team and the host's leadership, but apart from that it was a great experience.
A very good and comfortable place for volunteers and a quiet place.

This was my second experience at the Hostel and I have no words to thank you! Jonas is a true gift from God in my life! Jonas took care of every detail so that Carol (volunteer) and I would feel at home; more than a host, he became a friend and a brother, always present, taking care of me and advising me at the right moments! I am immensely grateful to Theo for bringing joy and childlike happiness to our days! I also thank Danilo for allowing me to paint the Hostel and leave my mark on this little corner I lived in for 78 days!
From here I carry memories and affection! Thanks 🩷

Thank you for such dedication and effort in every day you were with us, Ary. It was very inspiring and captivating to learn about aviation with you, to exchange ideas and to spend this time together. We know that with each new journey, we deconstruct and rebuild much of our lives... this experience is incredibly valuable and we are all grateful for your life... Theo especially remembers you with immense affection... God be with you.
