The experience at the hostel was awesome!!! 11/10 amazing people around all the time like the other volunteers, staff and guests. It's a great opportunity to practice English and get to know a bit of portuguese with the locals that are part of the hostel. When it comes to the work, it's perfectly explained and exactly as it is written in the description. And no words about Rio, it's just mind blowing how beautiful and fun the city is. Definitely recommended it's a guaranteed great time :))))

I had an amazing time at the hostel! Felipe and the whole team made me feel super welcomed. The Night Shift was super easy. I wish I could have stayed longer but definitely planning on coming back. Totally recommend this place!

I spent 3 weeks in the hostel during the Rio carnival. If you are looking for a place with a good atmosphere, a great team of volunteers and you want to party in Rio. This is the perfect place for that. Special mention to Felipe and Ine (who takes care of the volunteers) who are both adorable.

I had an amazing experiencie. The stuff was really nice with me. They have already stuff to cook and clean so the tasks were mainly reception, topping up the fridge with drinks and waters, organizing the bed lining when arrived from the laundry, cleaning reception area, etc. If it is your first volunteering experience don't expect a formal introduction to the stuff or tasks. Here you go with the flow. Even though when i didn't like things i talked with Felipe and he helped me. I really appreciated it. He is an amazing person, loves climbing and hiking. Thanks to everyone!Best memories from Rio
