I spent three weeks at the hostel and loved it! The location is beautiful and properly wild (you are literally in the forest) so it's very easy to relax there. The work was clearly defined in separate daily shifts and largely involved morning shifts cleaning the bathrooms, changing beds and sweeping the floors. I had plenty of free time outside of work hours to relax and explore the area, and it was very easy to get involved with planned activities like guided kayaking around the islands with Rodrigo (top tier!), going on trails and seeing bioluminescent plankton.

I have a great time at the hostel, the place is amazing, the house is literally in the middle of the woods, a great place to rest and see the nature, I've see tucanos, woodpeckers and parrots. The work hours are flexible, very simple tasks to do. The community is wonderful, I've meet local people who show me around and told me story's about the native culture. It was an interesting project, looking forward to come back and enjoy that lovely place and people

It was an incredible experience here in the hostel. The owner is a very good person, quiet and gentle with the costumers, staff and volunteering people. The environment in the hostel is amazing in the middle of the forest in Paraty mirim. I hope meet you again! Emanuel

The Life at the hostel is calm and peaceful. The house is incredibly located around the forest and closed to the beach. The work was easy and the hours respected, the organisation is very clear. You will live with the nature so if you can adapt to the different climates conditions I really recommend it. The bonus is that you can meet a lot of people from all around the world. Obrigada 🙏

Days at the hostel we're just wonderful. I was with other volunteers and we had a great connection together. Renê and Igor are super friendly and I really enjoyed working with them, during their shifts they always help the volunteers and make you feel at home. The daily tasks are basically cleaning, to which you should be prepared because can be tiring at physical level, but I enjoyed it. The hostel is in the forest, which means that sometimes for heavy rains you could be without water or electricity for some hours, but it's doesn't happen often. I would definitely go back and stay more time

It was a nice experience. I stayed 3 weeks. The hostel is beautiful, in the middle of the forest and beaches are close, Paraty is 30min by bus. The work is easy, I was usually working every morning from 9h to 13h. People working there are nice.
From my part, I just missed some team "briefings" sometimes. Communication in the team was mostly on WhatsApp and in Portuguese (which I don't speak a lot) and I felt a bit lonely sometimes because there were not a lot of guests during my time there. Obrigada!

My time at the hostel was peaceful, slow, and warm. The house is cozy, always clean and organized. The owners are truly lovely people, and the staff is kind and understanding with any eventualities. Working hours are respected, and the tasks are clear and simple. Breakfast is delicious and definitely a plus. The hostel is also perfect to practice Portuguese with the staff and English with the guests. Coming to the hostel means disconnecting, resting, and finding joy in the simple things. I had a great time and will keep lovely memories and connections 💚

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
