A limpeza é feita por 1/2 voluntários e geralmente não dura as 4h, principalmente qdo feito por 2 ou não tenha que limpar os quartos privados. Então sobra bastante tempo :) É ideal para quem não precise trabalhar ou trabalhe online (alguns escolhem esse tipo de destino para aproveitar o turismo, nesse caso, pergunte antes se é possível) Alguns pontos precisam melhorar pra q seja mais confortável, mas nada q vc não possa ficar o período mínimo e daí pode querer estender, inclusive. Aline está aberta a conversas e melhorando o hostel aos poucos. Tbm saímos algumas vezes e foi bem divertido!

Aline é uma ótima anfitriã, faz todos se sentirem a vontade, tivemos uma ótima relação e nos divertimos muito. Além dela conheci muitas pessoas que tornaram minha experiência leve e divertida. As tarefas são somente de limpeza, em alguns dias com mais demanda e em outros menos, depende das entradas e saídas dos hóspedes, da quantidade de pessoas que esta hospedada etc ... mas a carga horária sempre foi respeitada, e tinha outra voluntária então conseguíamos dividir as tarefas e ficava mais fácil. Consegui conhecer o hostel e Buzios, pessoas e experiências que vou levar pra sempre.

La experiencia en general fue buena, el Hostel se limpia en menos de 4 horas cuando no tenes Loft y suite, el problema es que al terminar antes la limpieza tenés que estar todo el día a disposición para cumplir las 4 horas, no se cuenta el tiempo a disposición del voluntariado si no que se cuenta por tarea, por lo cual no son horas de corrido y no podés irte a una playa muy lejos, no es el tipo de experiencia que estaba buscando, aún así Aline trato de ayudar con lo que estaba a su alcance, el desayuno es básico y las instalaciones también.

Unfortunately it was a terrible experience for both parties.
The daily work takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete on most days, and I had already allowed her to go to the beach; over three weeks, I called for last-minute reserve cleaning only twice, and on those occasions there were two volunteers. From the way she spoke, it seemed that she really took up all the time.
In the late afternoon I only took out the trash and superficially organized things, which took not even 20 minutes, but I remember she complained about putting more toilet paper in the bathroom at the end of the day, claiming that would count as the whole day's work, which is not true.
I refrained from writing a comment previously, but in this case I need to explain the situation.
Additionally, she used guests to evaluate the lodging poorly, even though we had no problems with the guest, only the woman's lack of commitment in arriving more than 2 hours late because she was at the beach.

Próximo à Praia Grande, a localização é boa. Os hóspedes são tranquilos, fácil socialização e prática de espanhol pois tem muitos hóspedes estrangeiros.
