My experience here was good! The work wasn't too hard and the campground is right by the beach, so it's a good place to relax. Everyone was patient with my beginner Portuguese and the work was always only 3 hours. I would recommend future volunteers check in advance if food will be offered during your stay here, because when I applied, it was offered, but not when I arrived. If food is not offered, there are plenty of markets and restaurants nearby.

It was very pleasant to stay and help at Gnomo with very adequate, polite, helpful manager Raissa. She is good at her position and also experienced traveller and volunteer. Because of nice atmosphere and easy tasks we stayed even longer. Wish you all the best and keep going

I would like to share my experience respectfully and objectively, hoping it will support future improvements. Overall, this was not the most comfortable volunteering experience for me. Laundry is washed all together — guests' clothes, volunteers' clothes, — which may not be hygienic. Washing items separately costs 40 reais per load. Flavio may not always be aware that physical contact with an unfamiliar woman can be inappropriate, even if unintentional. The barrack where I stayed had structural openings that allowed water to enter, causing my belongings to become wet.also there its insects

I think it's disrespectful of her to say that I touched her, because that did not happen in any way. People like her must have traumas and confuse things, because I never touched her except for a handshake when she arrived here, since when she left I wasn't even present. That's why I have been avoiding, now more than ever, foreigners, because they don't know how to behave in Brazil, most do not have the aptitude for manual labor, they complain excessively and are terrible at any manual work.

Gnomo is a kind and patient host. He was welcoming and thankful of the work that I helped him with. Gnomo and the other organisers were patient with my basic Portuguese and made me feel welcome. In general the work was not too difficult and there were good vibes in the campground. The campground is very relaxed and I found it a great place to slow down with lots of hamocks to read your book in.

We had a great Time here. We worked on the beaches and Cleaned all around. The Facilities are amazing and there is a lot of spaces to chill. We met a lot of nice people there with one exception. The Owner of the Place showed very disrespectful and inappropriate behavior towards a Girl I was traveling with. He made remarks on her body and said a lot of inappropriate stuff in general. Other People there has the same experience. While the Volunteering Itself was really nice the behavior of the owner was just not tolerable. It made our stay quite uncomfortable especially for my female friend.

You're upset because we didn't renew, I comment on everything and everyone, that's my way and I've never been disrespectful. You're the one who took offense and decided to evaluate this way because we didn't renew with you when you asked for the renewal. You exacted revenge with baseness in the rating. A poor and unhappy childish attitude that you are. That's why we didn't renew and we won't even accept if one day you want to come back. Learn to accept no, noble little German infant.

Minha experiência no camping foi incrível! My experience here was absolutely incredible! I felt welcome and at home from the first moment. Everybody was incredibly kind, open and relaxed, and patient with my portuguese. Flavio and eveli are both amazing and made me feel part of the little camping family. The work you have to do is clear and fair and not too much. I feel very grateful for getting to have this experience here and it was very hard to leave, the first time I considered not leaving Brazil at all. So I can absolutely recommend it!

I was warmly welcomed by Flávio, and the volunteers I met were also very kind. The place is really beautiful, right on the beach and very calm. The tasks are easy to learn, the host is calm, communicative and very flexible and understanding. It was a great volunteer experience 💕

What an incredible experience!
I fell in love with the Vila do projeto. The place is incredible, incredible people, culture incredible. Gnomo and Pri welcomed me so well and made my volunteering days into a place I will never forget. Gnomo and Pri have an amazing vibe, wonderful people with whom I learned a lot. The volunteer tasks were very well explained and easy to develop, in addition to having the opportunity to learn other experiences. Everything is nearby despite not needing much. I learned a lot from the locals and I'll carry the knowledge I obtained for life. You'll become a gnome <3
