This was my first ever volunteering experience and I had the most amazing time ever! Spending my time in Rio at this hostel with such an awesome team was one of the highlights of my entire backpacking trip!

I had a great time working here, the shifts are relaxed and there's good communication with the manager Andre. Also the volunteers were lovely. Only thing i'd say is do some research about the area beforehand because Lapa is not a safe neighbourhood, but that's not a fault to the hostel at all!

The hostel was my first time volunteering and I could not have picked a better place to start. The jobs i had to do were fun and so social and the Andre was kind and helpful when I had questions. As an 18 year old girl coming to Rio for the first time alone I felt so welcome and had so much fun with the other guests staying in the hostel and the volunteers. Felipe the owner is a lovely man and is always around and chatty and genuinely cares about his hostel and the people there. I genuinely cannot recommend this hostel enough!!

My experience at the hostel was amazing!!! It was definitely the best volunteering experience I've had so far. The team is organised, welcoming, and makes you feel like part of the family from day one. And since it's a party hostel, the energy is unreal: great parties, people from all over the world, and such a fun, social atmosphere. I learned a lot, met incredible people, and created memories I'll carry with me forever. Highly recommend it!! Both for staying and volunteering.
