Amazing hostel, location is perfect ( 2 minutes to the beach and 1 minute to the subway). Stayed here during carnival and had the best time of my life. Staff is so welcoming and friendly. Tasks are easy, you have to help around, more like a waitress. There are morning and evening shifts. You can always negotiate your schedule, to get days off when you need if possible. Definitely recommend this hostel and hope to come back soon:)

My time in the hostel was just amazing and I am extremely grateful that I got a chance to volunteer there. I got to meet great people and had lots of fun during carnival. For just few hours of work, that is not too hard you get a lot of benefits and it really makes your stay unforgettable. All the volunteers and stuff are truly wonderful people that I will miss. Hours and tasks could be negotiated and changed and I really felt like part of the big family! Will come back one day, thank you for everything!

Perfect location and super good vibes if you like partying and don't mind chaos. The tasks were simple, although I felt useless at times because I didn't know what to do. Communication could be better. The night shift felt more like an actual job than a volunteer. I preferred morning shifts. I was disappointed with the living situation. Unfortunately I left before the end of the volunteering because I find a job opportunity that I couldn't miss, but the time I spent there was amazing.

I was so excited to arrive in the hostel and start my month volunteering there. The work shifts were really fun and simple (although I felt useless at times because I can't speak Portuguese or Spanish fluently). Although I was VERY disappointed with the living situation. I expressed my concern about the mold in volunteer room and how the volunteers were very sick (probably due to the mold) and they chose to cover the mold in the mattress instead of moving us and thoroughly cleaning right away. I decided to sacrifice my time in Rio during carnival to stay healthy although I still got very sick.

Time that I had in the hostel was incredible! I believe that hostel offers everything you need to feel well welcomed from the first day you are there! The variety of things to do in Rio and of parties you can participate, allows you to have fun whenever you want! Staff and other volunteers at the hostel are super friendly and as for the job, well it's more of a spending time with amazing people than the actual job! Hostel location in another thing! So close to the best Rio beach and to a metro station! the hostel, its energy and people will forever stay in my heart! Obrigada por tudo!
