It was my first volunteer experience and I loved it, Bonete is really a paradise on earth, the place is incredibly beautiful and the hostel is located less than 40 seconds away from the beach. The team made me feel really welcomed and the owners Ju and Caio are really nice people. If you want to connect with nature it's the place for you.

My time at the hostel was very meaningful. I found a place of connection, warmth, and exchanges that I will carry with me. Ju is a strong woman worth admiring. As I had more rainy days, when a sunny opportunity arose, she had that look of understanding that I also wanted to enjoy a bit of Bonete and she provided that for me; when I became ill, she cared, sought help, and respected my time. It was an experience of a lot of exchange, conversations, learnings, and moments that I will carry with me. I am very grateful to have lived this stage at the hostel and I certainly hope to return someday.

Bonete, by itself, is already a paradise, but getting to know it through Mangará made it feel like home. This was my second stay at the hostel (longer) and even more meaningful. I am very grateful to those who walked with me on this second journey, for the stories shared, tears, laughs, and talks. A special thanks to Ju, who welcomed me and opened the doors not only of the hostel but also of her life. I carry you with great affection in my memories and in my heart. Without a doubt, I recommend this experience to new volunteers <3

I really enjoyed volunteering! The experience I had at the hostel was really very good and welcoming. Juliana receives volunteers as if they were part of her family, and that is a very important point for travelers, it makes us feel literally at home. I liked it so much that I even stayed longer than planned, lol. I recommend this experience for anyone who is new to volunteering as well as for those who have been traveling for a while and are looking for a place to truly connect with nature.

The hostel is a great place for anyone who wants to participate in a super relaxed volunteering experience, near the sea and nature. The team is very friendly, attentive, respectful, and fun. Definitely an experience I would recommend to others.

Volunteering at the hostel was a unique experience, a lot of contact with nature, the nights under a sky full of stars like no other… the host Ju welcomed me very well, setting schedules and tasks with super-relaxed vibes. There were days when I had the opportunity to work with Tainá, who is a volunteer at the hostel, who made the tasks be done with a lot of joy; we had a lot of fun, friendships I want to carry with me for life!!! I had to leave a few days earlier, but the moments I spent there were great; I am very grateful to everyone! There you go, Ju, thanks for everything!

I really enjoyed being in the hostel; it was a total disconnect from the world being in this impressive place. I got along very well with the volunteers, managers and owners of the place, who were very kind, and they made this experience here even better. It felt like a second home; I felt part of the place. It is a very welcoming place with easy tasks and work hours are very well respected. I recommend that you must come at least once to get to know the life and culture of Bonete, which is very good.

The hostel experience was very good, even though I finished volunteering earlier, it was still worth it. There is plenty of organization and clarity regarding the work and instructions; Juliana and Leandro are very dear, patient, and helpful. A place I won't forget anytime soon ❤️

My experience in the hostel was very special! It was my first contact with the beach and I feel that I made the right choice!! Ju welcomed me with a lot of warmth from the first day. The place by itself is already incredible! Beaches, waterfalls, natural pool and a Pinterest-worthy sky 😁 The local team was also very welcoming always, Le and Tai.. it was great to work with you! I don't even need to say that I will be back haha. Tip for everyone: stock up on repellent, because a place like this doesn't attract not only tourism... the biting midges are the first 😅

Bonete is amazing, but there are a lot of sandflies — bring plenty of repellent. The work was calm and well organized, with schedules always respected.
I got sick because of the water and, unable to charge my cellphone and tablet due to the humidity, I had to leave early so I wouldn't risk missing a work contract.
Despite that, I met amazing people. Among them was Leandro, who showed me several attractions, and Ju, who taught me a new game and took us to one of the most beautiful places I have swum. I am very grateful to everyone — it was an experience I will carry with me forever.
