My experience at the hostel was very good, the hostel is beautiful, surrounded by nature and very calm 🥰 Ju is a really nice person, always was around there talking with people. It was flexible with the schedule when I needed, but there isn’t rotating and only one note: the morning shift is more tiring than the afternoon and she is very strict about cleanliness (which is a strong point of the hostel, it’s always clean). I got on very well with the other volunteers, Cari and Fer, and with other 'regular' guests there, so it was a very welcoming environment for me ❤️ and the pets are so cute, miss your Antô asking for food haha Thanks for having me!

A very good hostel, surrounded by nature and tranquility, very close to the beach. Great energy, I met very nice people. The tasks were super easy. Ju, the owner, is a very friendly person, and I will miss Seu, Anto, Penelope, and Cacao a lot.

It was my second time volunteering at the hostel and it was amazing! This time I could contribute with my art, painting murals around the hostel. It was a great stay; I could enjoy more of Arraial, which is incredible, and the hostel space is very cozy. Whenever I pass through Arraial, I’ll stop by the hostel!

I had an amazing experience. From the first moment I felt very comfortable: my fellow travelers were the best, always with good energy and a willingness to help. The place is simply amazing, highly recommended for its atmosphere and surroundings. Also, the owner is really friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. Without a doubt, I would return and I totally recommend it to other travelers.

My experience was incredible! I am very grateful for everything I experienced during that period. Juliana was a wonderful host, very welcoming and attentive, she made all the difference in the experience. I loved taking care of the garden and the dogs, it was light, enjoyable work and done with a lot of care. I also made good friendships and lived very special moments that I will carry with me for life. It was an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend it!

Juliana is an amazing person. Always very helpful and attentive to everything. A very present host, always helping with whatever she can. The hostel was always clean and organized. There is a bus stop nearby and it's quite large. Great for making friends and learning languages. I love animals and there are 3 dogs and 3 cats there. Highly recommended. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know this beautiful place ❤❤❤

I had a very special experience at the hostel. The place is beautiful, incredibly clean, and has a very welcoming energy. I got along really well with the volunteers and Ju, the host, all very dear, and the atmosphere very pleasant.
The hostel has several super cute mascots, and you can enjoy the spaces a lot, such as the courtyard and the pool, which are a delight. Also, it's very close to the beach and about a 20-minute walk from the city center, in a quiet area.
It was such a beautiful time for me and I would definitely come back. 💛

Very grateful for the daily chats, the naturalness and lightness of this family-like environment! At the same time, a great cultural learning with people from other countries! Already missing everyone! From the routine with the dogs, Seu Antônio, Cacau and Penélope 🤍😄

Wonderful hostel, clean, well-organized, well located, close to Praia do Delegado and to everything we need in daily life. Ju is a very committed and organized host, which makes volunteering even smoother. I am very grateful for the experience and I recommend it to anyone passing through Arraial!

The purpose of volunteering is not clear to the host. I experienced an extremely unpleasant situation with a volunteer, I left desperate in the early morning, and without the minimum of understanding and support, I was insulted and threatened to have my name exposed as "not recommended" in groups. The room is mixed, small, hot and without privacy. I was awakened outside of the shift to cover another person, there are misaligned charges, extra tasks that she "forgets" to ask for, which creates the constant feeling that the work was not enough; if someone feels unwell and does not keep to the schedule, they lose the weekly day off.

The volunteer was always on her phone and stalling to do the tasks, every time I turned my back. She loves to chat during work hours. The issue of waking her up for work actually happened, because I had agreed with her that she would cover a day off during the morning volunteer's week; in the second week she simply arranged a freelance gig for that day and did not wake up to work. She got into a little quarrel with the other volunteer, argued with him, and soon came up with an excuse and left.
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 :)
