The Experience

The available position consists of contributing to cleaning and tidying the rooms, cleaning the common areas, check-in, check-out and attending to guests and visitors. As this is a hostel on a secluded beach, day-to-day life is quite varied, with some weekends being very busy and lively, and others quite calm, so you need to be prepared at all times. We hope the experience here will be wonderful.

Letícia and Tiago, in addition to being very committed professionals, are amazing people! My time at the hostel was very calm. The activities and work shifts are well explained and agreed upon beforehand; you receive training before starting and the working hours are respected as agreed. My tip is to bring fewer clothes and more food! 😅 Honorable mention to Pretinho, who steals our hearts! ❤️🐶

The tasks are simple and there is always someone willing to support you, the schedules are comfortable, bonete is a magical place full of adventures and places to explore… it's a place I would return to without thinking twice!! Thank you so much ✨🫀
