The Experience

Assist us in organizing and cleaning the first Aldeia Hostel located in the historic center of Manaus. It's in a house over 100 years old, built in the Portuguese style during the rubber boom in the early 1900s. Our activities primarily involve cleaning wooden floors, rooms, bathrooms, and common areas. Additionally, spending some hours at the reception. If you have skills in maintenance, repairs, and gardening, they would be highly welcomed.

Valda and Iago welcomed us warmly. I was a second time volunteer and inexperienced, but they were kind enough to guide me. Also, other volunteers are friendly. It is recommended!

This was my first volunteer experience and it was amazing! Manus is an amazing city, the hostel has an excellent location and is close to interesting places (museums, restaurants, theaters, parks) Valda was an excellent host, she taught me how to clean and organize the hostel, she also taught me about the importance of cleanliness in a hostel. My fellow volunteers were excellent, they are now my friends and also I was able to make friends with several guests who stayed there. All the requirements were met and the stay at the hostel exceeded my expectations, it was a home for me! Love it!!

Minha experiencia como voluntária no the hostel foi incrível, umas das melhores. Dona Valda, dona do Hostel é uma mulher muito maravilhosa e trata a gente como filho, sempre tenta ajudar a gente e fazer o melhor para os voluntários. O trabalho é bem tranquilo, ficamos responsáveis pela recepção, e ajudar em algumas coisas pontuais quando necessário. Nosso horários respeitados, e as folgas podemos acumular para tirar mais dias seguidos. As instalações do quarto são ótimas, temos ar-condicionado, cama, lençol limpinho, armário, etc. Obrigada Dona Valda por me acolher tão bem nesse dias. ✨💕
