I had a great time at the hostel. I met so many nice people. The cleaning tasks were not difficult but could be laborious at times. Overall, it was a very good experience and I could recommend to anyone.

The hostel offered me the best volunteer experience that I could have imagined! The staff is the best part of the hostel, we all became a very good team both for work but also during our free time. We all enjoyed drinks at the bar, free tours, going to the beach together, hiking, free parties in clubs as a volunteer, but some days also chilling and watching a movie together in the living room💕 It is a lot going on at the hostel all the time, so I would totally recommend this stay for someone that likes to meet new people and be very socially active! You Will make friends for life✨

What an experience! From the first minute when I arrived I felt welcome and excited! the hostel has a very energetic vibe and you are guaranteed to always have something to do and someone to do it with. The owners are great people and extremely accommodating. Your responsibilities are laid out for you in the beginning and then you are trusted to do the work - nobody constantly breathing down your neck. Working in the bar was also a great experience. I am grateful that the hostel gave me a chance and that I had the privilege of volunteering there. I'LL BE BACK! Obrigado é the hostel!

Our stay at the hostel might just be our number one experience in life so far. Might sound a bit exaggerated but honestly, I don't think anything can top the amount of fun and the amount of friends we made there. the hostel is an oasis in the hectic city life of Rio. It has the vibe of a big family throwing house parties together every night in the best possible way. I can't thank Felipe and the others enough. Recommend it to anyone. Be prepared for a social environment and the time of your life.

Like many others, I was scared and nervous about coming to Brazil Rio de Janeiro, but the moment I arrived at the hostel, I felt at home, super social with the Best Vibes. The other world packers were cool; I felt like a family for some time. I will comeback for sure! If you like to surf and already have some experience is the best because the boards are really good and is super close to one of the best beaches for surfing. the hostel!!!
