It was okay! The place is cozy, clean, and well located. The hosts were initially friendly, and the tasks were easy. The point to leave as feedback is the stinginess with breakfast (around R$3.00 per volunteer). The quantity is insufficient, and well below what is usually offered in 30-hour volunteer programs. The sense is one of scarcity, as they try to save cents. There is noticeable food oversight, with concerns that volunteers might take something from the guests' coffee leftovers. Salt and sugar are also regulated. This attitude is indelicate, unnecessary, and devalues the volunteer.

We are saddened that your experience has been frustrated because of meals... When you go to buy your breakfast you will see that R$ 3,00 doesn't even cover a cup of coffee, and you will be ashamed of what you wrote. I ask you to reflect on the true spirit of volunteering so that you are not asked to withdraw early from your application (as happened in your previous volunteering), avoiding harsh evaluations that harm your own journey. Good luck on your journey.

The experience in Ilhabela was incredible. The place is really very beautiful, with a lot to do. The guesthouse is well located with several beaches nearby, a bus stop, and a small market. The schedule is flexible and the space for volunteers is very welcoming, comfortable, and clean. Amauri and Jana are calm; they are always available to teach the tasks that are simple and to answer any questions. (Fred is a sweetheart 🐶) I believe the only thing that could be improved is the breakfast, which is quite simple and in small portions. And perhaps provide basic kitchen items such as salt, sugar, and oil.

We deliver as agreed upon accepting the application; our coffee area is simple and perhaps the same as what we drink at home, enough to meet the needs of most... however the quantity is relative to each person... we offer a small kitchenette equipped with basic materials for food preparation exclusive to the staff; the responsibility to keep it clean is on the volunteers (which did not occur on your last day).
Spices, seasonings, etc. for meal preparation are a matter of personal taste and at each person's expense.

The hostel is the ideal place for those seeking silence, simplicity and nature 🍃— far from noise, parties and alcohol.
Even though there are no more bikes, you can reach the center by bus or a 1-hour walk.
Amauri, the owner of the house, has tact and diplomacy to deal with volunteers in a lighter way. For those who work remotely 💻, I recommend talking to Jana before confirming, as it is she who determines and supervises the schedule and the tasks of the volunteers.
Thanks for the experience! Gratitude 🙏🏼

El hostel está ubicada en el sur de Ilhabela, un lugar tranquilo y rodeado de naturaleza. 🌿 Si buscas un voluntariado en paz, con buena energía y anfitriones atentos, Amauri y Jana son las personas ideales para recibirte y con apertura a la comunicación. Durante tus 6 horas de colaboración, siempre tendrás la compañía de Freddy, el perrito más cariñoso de la casa 🐶. 👉 Consejo práctico: cuando llegues a la Balsa, saca el cartão de transporte Felix. Con el podrás ahorrar en los trayectos y moverte con mayor facilidad por la isla.

A pousada é combina com a proposta do local roots . O Amauri e a Jana são muito gente boa e são flexíveis para dialogar com os voluntários, caso precisar. As instalações compartilhadas dos voluntários são mais simples. O banheiro, por enquanto, é fora do quarto . A cozinha é bem compacta, então só cabe um voluntário por vez e quando chove pode ser um pouco caótico. O quarto é de madeira então é complicado de limpar, principalmente em reforma (queria ter sabido de antemão). Quase todos os voluntários são legais. Mas para quem quer conhecer as praias do sul num ambiente roots, é um ótimo lugar.

A experiência foi muito legal , o anfitrião Amauri é muito acolhedor e comunicativo. Tarefas de acordo com o combinado. A problematica que tive foi a critério de um voluntário fixo da hospedagem ( machista, zero diálogo e acaba pesando um pouco no dia dia ) .

La estadía en el hostel fue hermosa. Conocimos gente maravillosa que acompañó mucho y convirtió el lugar en un hogar. El trato tanto con los demás voluntarios y con Amaury hizo de la experiencia más amena. Tanto los horarios como lo servido en el desayuno concuerda con lo prometido. Las tareas son fáciles de realizar. Ilhabela es un lugar para recomendar, tanto por su tranquilidad y seguridad, su gente amorosa y las playas hermosas. La ubicación del hostel queda alejada del centro y de los supermercados.

Fue una gran experiencia! El trato con los demás voluntarios y con Amauri fue fluido y amigable. El desayuno y los turnos cumplen con los previamente prometido. La ubicación es muy tranquila y la parada de bus se encuentra muy cerca en caso de querer movilizarse. La unica critica es que los turnos se hacen un poco largos ya que terminamos las tareas en menor tiempo y debemos quedarnos en el hostel hasta que termine el turno. Recomiendo aplicar,repetiría la experiencia!

Minha experiência no La Glória foi muito boa! Infelizmente tive que ir embora antes do prazo determinado, mas Amauri e Jana, anfitriões, foram compreensivos comigo. A experiência do voluntário foi tranquila, apesar de não ter funcionários fixos, as tarefas são bem divididas entre os voluntários e os anfitriões sempre estão por perto para auxiliar.

O voluntario são 6 horas por dia, 5 dias por semana. As tarefas são fáceis, porém podem cobrir realmente as 6 horas do dia. Podendo ser difícil conciliar se vc trabalhar de home office. Os donos são de facil convivência, os imprevistos foram contornados com diálogo de forma tranquila. A pousada está na região com as melhores praias da ilha, um local mais residencial, ótimo para quem quer tranquilidade. Dicas: leve repelente e roupas leves, calça e camisa compridas. Faça o cartão de ônibus ao chegar na ilha, fica bem fácil e barato o transporte.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
