I loved my experience at the hostel, truly enough to extend haha. if you are a ocean lover and want or know how to surf this place is for you. Free surf rental when enough boards and discounted classes you can take any day!!I've practiced a lot of my Portuguese enough to understand some and even though the city center is about a two hour bus ride I've really adapted to the slow life here in recreio! All good things to say really. the spacing of things could be better when it comes to living and places to store our food but other then that an amazing experience!!

This was my first experience through Worldpackers and they set the bar high. I worked on the community manager role, and loved every second of it. My main purpose, to practice the language was fully covered, but I also won so many rich experiences, visited the city a couple of times, enjoyed sunrise and sunsets by the beach and even learned how to surf! My only perks would be the comfortability of the shared room, the distance from Rio de Janeiro (2h in public transportation) and the food not being included. Other than that would definitely recommend it, great place & awesome people!

I could not have any other experience better then this time at the hostel to start my journey as a volunteer around the world. The coordinators and teamwork were always supportive and I think now I can say that I have a little family in Rio who I can count on. The work hours were perfect for me, I had the flexibility that I needed to surf and work besides my volunteer hours and this made my time there really enjoyable. I would definetily recommend for everyone and can't wait to come back soon!

I had an amazing time, it's a small surf town. I never felt unsafe which is rare for Rio, but it's a really good area. My co workers were the sweetest as well as the rest of the staff. They're very chill people so it can be a little difficult to make a plan, I didn't get any surf lessons even though it was a part of the agreement. I would definitely recommend this experience if you're a surfer! If you're going to Rio for party's this area is not lively as centre Rio. But I'm very grateful for my experience
