My experience at the hostel was so pleasant, and I felt like I was really well looked after by everyone in the hostel. The hosts are quite generous and there's a real family vibe, especially during shared meals. The best part is how welcoming everyone is even if there's some language barriers, and I learnt a lot when I was there. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a cosy place to volunteer, you'll for sure feel at home :))

I arrived with another volunteer and we were not welcomed from the beginning. The host did not respond to our messages letting them know we were on our way there and when we got there, he was not expecting us. He did not engage in any activity with us or let us know what to do in the city, he seemed to not be interested in us being there but only cleaning and cooking for them (which was not part of the deal) The worst was when I tried to have a conversation with him and he got so angry he kicked us out of there being two women in an unknown country and city at 8 pm with all our stuff.

An amazing experience that i will probably repeat once again. This four weeks have been absolutely amazing and magical, I have met so many amazing people, the city is beautiful, it has amazing and many beaches as well as walking tracks. The team was also amazing. I had a really difficult time leaving the hostel as well as Paraty. The whole team was very welcoming, nice, loving and ready to help. One of my best experiences on my trip. Im gonna miss everyone and also the whole spirit that Paraty brings.

Paulo, the owner and Andrés, a permanent resident volunteer, were my family for a month. Grateful to have been able to share and work in the hostel. A quiet place, with few guests during my stay, so there wasn't much work. The schedules, day off and the described work were respected. Breakfast was included, the same as the one served to guests. And I was so comfortable that I extended my stay. The inn is next to the historic center and very close to the bus terminal. Thank you very much for everything!!!
