Bem Viver hostel was and is a place to feel at home, Sandrinha and Lucas always very attentive and receptive, since we spoke for the first time. They are starting the hostel venture, but the 15 days I stayed already changed many things, and it is so good to follow a transformation of the space. The energy of the people is very good, always flexible with the tasks and schedules. And the hostel is the hostel located here in the center, near Matheus Market, the hospital, pharmacies and parks. I managed to balance everything being here. Very grateful to you all for everything ❤️🙏🏻 I hope to come back again someday.

My time was short but beautiful, Sandra is a lovely host, she is always attentive to whatever you need, there is flexibility in the schedule so you can enjoy the place, the tasks are simple and the whole team is always there to help you. Highly recommended.
It was nice to contribute with my design skills to improve the place!

Lili is an amazing person, always helpful and very proactive, she has a lot of charisma and good manners, she is a true artist, she came to be a great addition to our team, she helped us with everything, she already knows how volunteering works, and we learned more Spanish, I hope she returns when she can, thank you for your energy and contagious company. Thank you very much for everything

The volunteering was great and I felt welcomed from the beginning. I arrived in a period of many changes and adaptations and this made flexibility in the schedules and proposed activities possible. Sandra and Lucas are great hosts, always concerned with the hostel being part of the team and ensuring that we have a good experience. I was supported in my needs and I feel very grateful for all the exchanges established during that two-week period that I stayed. The hostel is the located hostel, the work is calm and the tasks simple the hostel conducted. I only have to thank and I hope to return soon!

The space was still in the early stages of organization, as the hosts had taken over only a few days earlier. They were good people, but they were not yet prepared to receive volunteers. The structure was precarious: the kitchen and other areas were quite dirty, there were no conditions to prepare meals, the bathroom did not have a lock and I had to clean the room upon arrival. I planned ahead, spent on transport, and left my accommodation to get there. I stayed 3 days eating out, making the experience unviable. On the day I left, a refrigerator and a stove arrived, also in precarious condition.

Thanks for the feedback Ronaldo , you are a person with horrible energy. It's a good thing you left earlier, because I was going to ask you to withdraw. Energy and all, my friend.
