Staying at GreenHouse was a great experience.
I felt I couldn't stay longer and I will definitely come back, either as a guest or as a volunteer again.
Renan and his team are very welcoming, flexible, and open to suggestions.
The work is well distributed and for those who want to roll up their sleeves and learn about sustainable construction (with bamboo) there is plenty to do.
Renan gives you the opportunity to focus more on where you want to develop your skills or use your knowledge better.
Everyone contributes to the project.
Nearby the beach and market (a walk or Uber) - I highly recommend the place.

Gratitude to Green House and to my host Renan for this transformative experience. From the very first moment I felt welcomed and part of something bigger. It was a real immersion, full of learnings, connections and genuine exchanges.
I carry with me every lesson, every conversation and every moment lived in this special place. Thank you for the trust, for the partnership and for all we built together. Without a doubt, a place that marked my journey and made my first volunteering an incredible experience. See you soon! 🌱

Gabriel was one of those miners who quickly became a Carioca, bringing a very good energy to the house. He put in a tremendous amount of effort throughout his stay, performing all tasks with love, care, and dedication. He excelled in bioconstruction, cleaning, and guest services, always willing to help with anything requested. He is an excellent volunteer and we recommend him to any host. The doors of the Greenhouse in Saquarema will always be open to you. Thank you so much.

My experience with the hostel was wonderful!! The crew has a great energy, I made many friendships that I will carry for life 🫶🏻 The hostel has a welcoming atmosphere and Renan is super calm and fair, I really enjoyed my time there! I love Saquarema, this little corner will always have a place in my story, I'm happy to have been Green! The work is coherent/fair with what was agreed and the surfing lessons are top! If you're interested in learning to surf, it's worth going to the hostel and Saquarema!

I had a great experience! I contributed to green's marketing and I really enjoyed doing this work; people are the main point there, I was with amazing people who transformed my experience, I also did several cool activities, surfing, skateboarding, and diving. Unfortunately I had to leave 5 days before the end due to family reasons, but I delivered marketing work that was really good and generated positive results and overall I really liked my time volunteering there. green is a new hostel that has a lot to evolve and grow and I’m sure it will go far! Grateful for the opportunity

It was my first experience volunteering and I am very grateful for everything I experienced at Green. From the beginning I felt welcomed and at home, the environment is warm and I made friendships that I will carry with me.
The hostel has a very good energy and living with people is undoubtedly one of the most special points of the experience.
However it's important to say that the work is more intense than I imagined, so it is not a place just to rest. It is an experience suitable for those who are willing and prepared to contribute actively.
Despite the challenges I leave with a heart full of love!🩷

My experience at the hostel was beautiful and intense in the best possible way. I felt very welcomed from the first day: a warm atmosphere, good energy, and amazing people. I connected with beautiful people; we shared moments that I will carry with me forever, and I even got to take a surfing class that I enjoyed very much. For personal reasons I had to leave earlier than planned, but I am super grateful for everything I experienced. Thanks for the space and the good vibes! 💛

The best experience I’ve had was at Green House. I’m grateful that along my path I was given the opportunity to meet Renan, a person who exudes calmness, understanding, and appreciation for the people around them. Having the opportunity to experience surfing, nature, good vibes, and mindful eating has improved every area of my life. The energy felt inside Green House heals and transforms. Just words of gratitude.

The experience was very positive and I felt very good volunteering. I really liked the proposal to promote wellness, with a focus on sleeping well, eating well, surfing, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The only point was that the role didn't fully match what had been agreed: I had applied to be a surf instructor, but I ended up doing other activities, which were also constructive. A very positive point was Kate from Human Resources, always available to listen and try to improve what wasn't working.

Beautiful city, big waves and good vibes, but the poor organization of the hostel disappointed me and disrupted my routine.

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 :)
