I had an incredible time! Paulo, our host, is genuinely kind. He organized various events for me and my girlfriend, and we had a blast. The fellow volunteers were also friendly, and we enjoyed parties and good times together. The workload is reasonable, allowing you to explore the city. I definitely hope to return one day! :)

It was such a great experience!! The hostel is really cozy and comfortable and all the people there were super nice and welcoming. Most of the time I had do work less hours than it says in worldpackers, so I had more free time. The city was also really beautiful! I can highly recommend this hostel for everyone!!🥰🌞

O hostel é um hostel muito agradável! Os anfitriões são muito receptivos e sempre dispostos a tornar nossa passagem por lá comoda e tranquila. O hostel é grande, com bastante espaço de lazer, os quartos são ótimos e a cozinha bem equipada. As horas de trabalho e folgas são respeitadas e os turnos bem distribuídos entre todos. São João é uma cidade relativamente grande, mas com gostin de cidade pequena. O hostel é bem localizado, próximo de supermercado, ponto de ônibus e outros comércios. Paulo e Hugo fazem jus ao jeitin mineiro, obrigada por me receberem tão bem! Valeu demais da conta.

O voluntariado é tranquilo, Paulo e Hugo são simpáticos e receptivos… As tarefas são tranquilas, limpeza de quartos etc. conheci pessoas incríveis, o café da manhã é ótimo 👍🏼 com queijo mineiro e pão de queijo, durante o dia normal nós os voluntários também fazemos um cafezinho pra dar um pico de energia kkkkkkk recomendo o voluntariado e provavelmente voltaria outra vez em algum momento!! Obs: a acomodação que fiquei com o meu parceiro é boa, todas as instalações são boas ♥️ Levar mais um lugar legal na bagagem.

A experiência no hostel foi incrível! Paulo e Hugo nos receberam muito bem, sempre tiveram uma comunicação legal e grande flexibilidade na hora de combinar os horários de trabalho, folgas e afins. O trabalho é super tranquilo, e o ambiente do hostel é super aconchegante. A localização é ótima, do lado do centro histórico, uma experiência ótima para conhecer a cultura local e se debruçar um pouco sobre a história do país! Recomendo!
