This was, without a doubt, one of the best volunteer experiences I've ever had, a special thanks to Lary and Clary, who made all the difference with their dedication, warmth, and positive energy. The facilities are excellent, very well maintained, comfortable and designed to provide a great experience for both guests and volunteers. The activities are very well organized in a clear and balanced way, with a super complete breakfast. I carry with me beautiful memories and a huge affection for the hostel, for having provided me with such special moments in Arraial do Cabo 🩵🌊

I really enjoyed being part of the hostel team, a cozy place near Grande Beach. The work was easy and the hours were fair. The breakfast was very good too! I definitely recommend this volunteering opportunity 👍🏼

The Casa Hostel was a place where I really felt at home. From the first day they made me feel comfortable, cared for and well received. It is a calm space, where you can be at ease and enjoy. Its hostesses are the nicest and closest, always willing to listen and help if you need it. The tasks are simple and manageable. It is a place I would highly recommend and to which I would always return. I love you, Clari and Lari🤍

After two years volunteering in Brazil, this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. The job advertised on Worldpackers does not match reality: the names of the former hostel owners, and not of the current host, listed 3 days off and alternating shifts, but in practice there were only 2 days off and consecutive night shifts. When I questioned it, the host ignored me.
Volunteers are treated as staff, with charges outside the shift. The water from the sink is not suitable for drinking and I was scheduled until 11 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, with no flexibility.

I do not recommend it, because what is promised is not fulfilled.

We regret your report, as it does not reflect reality. All the terms were sent and accepted by you via WhatsApp before arrival. The claim about the water is false: we provide unlimited filtered water. On Christmas and New Year, while everyone was helping to free up the staff at 10 p.m., you preferred to stay watching TV with no proactive attitude. Your unwillingness was noticed even by the guests. We prioritize transparency and regret your lack of commitment and lack of sympathy.

My time at the the hostel was great, I was very well received, I felt at home, I met incredible people and made wonderful friendships. The tasks were relaxed and the schedule was respected. The location of the hostel is very good, you can practically do almost everything on foot, and the beaches of Arraial are beautiful, the desire not to leave anymore.
