I enjoyed my stay in this hostel onthe hostel hostelhostelSao Miguel island. Everything was organized properly: I received a schedule of my hours forthe hostel hostelhostelwhole month, and there is also a clear to-do list for your shifts. the hostelhostelwork is quite easy, but a bit monotonic, so I don't recommend staying a very long period if you don't like that. the hostelhostelowners communicate well and were nice, but of course find it important that you stick tothe hostel hostelhosteldetails. What I loved most was meeting so many international travellers. the hostelhostelisland is very beautiful so I definitely recommend to fans of nature. Overall it was a good experience!

San Miguel is really beautiful island and hostel is close tothe hostel hostelhostelcentral area. Work was easy, but quite monotonic and also depends onthe hostel hostelhostelseason. Hosts were little bit strict tothe hostel hostelhosteldetails. But overall I would recommend to going there.
