Was such a nice stay, at the end I didn't want to leave the hostel and the amazing people from all over the world! For me, the people felt like family and I learnt sooo much about the city and in general about Brasil. I had very cool experiences and got new impressions:)) Obrigado por todo!

It was my first experience of volunteering and it was truly amazing. From the moment I arrived I felt like home, welcomed by everyone as I was already part of the family. I met incredible people there, internationals as well as brazilians, and it really allowed me to fully live the city. The location is really good : less than 10 minutes walk from the hostel's beach, inside the community of Babilônia, which is great to immerse into the local culture. The place itself is welcoming, well decorated and inhabited by little friends (Mahalo 🥹). Some things could be improved but globally I recommend !

Absolutely amazing hostal! 🇧🇷 I can't recommend it enough 🔥✨️ It is situated opposite the community centre (which attracts the biggest community lead events in the favela). Fantastic Staff (Gio, Gustavo & Raf) great showers, lockers, beds and I felt very safe with Mahalou protecting us too 🐶. So so close to the hostel beach and generous breakfast everyday🥞 I will defintely be back to visit+volunteer more in the hostal soon! If you want to be part of the more true Brasilian community (less touristy) this is the spot for you! Tysm for welcoming me to Brasil 🥰🫶🏽 eu te amo 💕🩷

I had a very good experience. I learned a lot about reception, and that was very positive for me, because I really enjoy learning new things.
The room, the bedding, and the breakfast are very good. The hostel is quite busy, the guests generate a good vibe and people go to socialize and have fun.
If you need to work remotely or study, I think it can be a bit busy for that.
I want to thank the staff, the neighborhood I found beautiful and safe, and the pets, with whom I connected a lot, especially Cami, she won my heart 🫶

It was a nice experience here in the hostel; upon arrival I quickly joined a group of guests, socialized a lot and was well received. You have to be polite to break the ice with strangers, and values are not lost. Good morning, Good afternoon, Good night. If you are arriving, you are the one who should greet out of courtesy.
Otherwise, I had a lovely time, especially with guests and volunteers. The place is at the entrance to a favela, but very quiet. The little dogs Mahalo and Pix accompanied me every night on my night shifts. Take care of them when you arrive here.

Hello, Jim, thank you for your contribution! We are glad you enjoyed the environment we provide. As you expressed it elegantly, education is always paramount wherever you go, and the tolerance to respect each person's moment demonstrates maturity. The gaze of a tourist who has eagerly anticipated the new destination may sometimes contrast with that of others involved in responsibilities and routines. But everything is a moment! May your journey be filled with new learnings like this.

It was my first volunteer experience and I can say that the only bad part was having to leave! The work was exactly as agreed, the team is sensational and welcomed me very well. Doña Jô nails breakfast, Ricardo was incredible, always available and helping me with whatever I needed. Thank you, Gio, Rafa and Liz for the reception! The energy of the hostel is sensational, I made friendships that I will carry for life! ❤️

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 :)
