The schedules are announced on the first day and are respected. Paulo, the hostel owner, was very polite and helpful! I connected a lot with Daniel; he was the person who hugged me upon arrival, looked after me and cared for me during the stay, which made the experience stand out. Jana, Darci, Leo, Dani, and Martha are special people, each with his own personal characteristic and their way of being, which makes them unique. I plan to come back many more times; I already miss the four-pawed star of the house, our Bucky!!!☺️🤍🐶

My experience at the hostel was very good. The days and times were always respected, the breakfast is well prepared and we help by cooking lunch for the team once a week. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about RJ.

It was regrettable and disappointing. The job was easygoing and I gave my best, everything exactly as it was taught to me, the staff already had their own little clique and if they don't like you they make your life a hell; they took my phone, broke my saint and gave me wrong information. I didn't give it importance and only avoided until they threw my boot on the ceiling, I said I wouldn't fetch it and this was already a reason for the host to call me on a Friday night saying he was creating trouble and had two days to leave, I didn't want to listen to my side or even talk; they just sent me away without any respect.

My volunteering at the hostel was amazing, with the hostel's beach almost in the backyard. I made friends, learned a lot, and lived in fitness mode. Luana was attentive, kind, and very good people. Leo is super responsible and always ready to help. I worked the night shift without problems, but the morning shift treatment needs to improve. Breakfast was top and the 'Tropa do Fuzil Dourado' (Christiane, Ailu and Rocio) marked it a lot. The food was repetitive, but the experience 10/10! Thanks, Paulo, for the opportunity! One day the Bucky will still be my HIHIHHI
