It's a beautiful place with beautiful people! It was great to have a chill and calm place to go after experiencing the intense and lively Rio life. At the same time there's free dance classes and social activities happening in the hostel, so it was a perfect mix for me. The work is not hard, but the communication could be improved, as expectations weren't always clear and feedback sometimes came after things were already done. But after some time there you'll understand easily how everything works and everyone is always there to help you out with anything you need:) I definitely recommend!

This place is amazing and good opportunity to learn Portuguese and Spanish. Hostel itself is cozy and you have all the facilities you need. Location is also nice, close to attractions and santa teresa. The workers of the place are welcoming and they listen your needs 😊💐🫶🏼 I recommend!

Big thank you to everyone at the hostel, they made it super comfortable and like a family environment. I am grateful to have spent a month with amazing people. There's a lot of volunteers and the hostel is big and spacious. Lapa (the neighborhood) is not the safest but the hostel brings in incredible people from the travel community. The hostel is social but not "party" a perfect balance. The tasks are always different so prepare to adapt to cleaning, reception, bartending etc, but the hours are always respected! Rio has a lot to offer, always things to do :) Thank you the hostel :)
