From the very beginning the crew made me feel welcome. Everyone gave me pieces of advice here and there in order to do well at the reception and get the most out of the outdoor activities they hold almost on a daily basis. In fact, they helped me every step of the way given that I barely spoke Portuguese. I'm really thankful for this enriching and insightful experience.

I loved my stay at the hostel, I recommend it. The 30 fastest days of my life, even though it rained for 20 of them. I’ll be back soon 💖

Volunteering at the hostel is a great experience! The hostel has a wonderful setup, and Rasta is a very patient, respectful, and humane host. He explains the tasks clearly, teaches with a lot of kindness, and respects the schedules, which makes everything lighter and allows balancing volunteering with sightseeing, fun, and time to enjoy the city. The location is also great, and the energy of the place is contagious! The hostel has become my home in Maresias. I’ve already had the experience of staying here and now volunteering, and I’m sure I’ll come back many times.

My experience at Caiçara hostel was amazing! I lived a true immersion in caiçara life, meeting people who live there, understanding a bit of the dynamics and the local lifestyle and being part of the hostel's routine.
The environment is relaxed, the food is delicious, and the location is wonderful: facing the beach, next to the bakery and with everything very close and easily accessible.
But, without a doubt, what made this experience so special were the people I met: Aira, Gui, Rafa, Lara, Laila, Alexa...
It was a very special exchange and a experience I will carry with me. I highly recommend!

It was my first volunteering experience; Rafael was an exceptional host, which made all the difference. Some improvements to the accommodations need to be made, but they have already started these improvements and they are also implementing a shared social space; I want to go back and see this new look. I met amazing people, which made the experience much better. The only point is that, as a woman traveling alone, in some situations I didn't feel very comfortable, because many men from outside circulate around the hostel; I think this should be reconsidered.
