It was amazing to spend these days at the hostel, the host Bernardo and Claudete welcomed me very well, Claudete gave me many tips on places to visit in São Luís, breakfast is wonderful, the best cake in the world is made by rose. Rose and shirley are employees of the Hostel, they are the light of the space, wonderful, always available to listen to us and make the days at the Hostel be fun, the best, making you want to stay. The Hostel is quiet and the routine as well, it is only necessary to organize the schedules a little, I highly recommend, it has a great location.

My experience at the hostel was very special! I was warmly welcomed by Rose and Shirlei, who have always been so sweet to me. The hostel has a great location, near Feirinha de São Luís, Mercado das Tulhas and Centro Roots. The tasks are calm and the hours are flexible. I believe the experience can improve with a more aligned communication between hosts and volunteers. I thank Mr. Bernardo, Mrs. Claudete and Laura for introducing me to Maranhão culture. I highly recommend the hostel and, without a doubt, I would return to live this experience again.

A very good place, calm and well organized. The activities are light and the staff are very friendly. I felt at home during my stay. I had to leave early for personal reasons, but I would definitely return! Highly recommended. 😊

Two weeks of peace and quiet have passed; the hostel is very calm, super clean and organized, and the tasks are also very easy. The volunteers feel very comfortable and the hostel staff are great. I didn't meet the host, but his daughter, who is in charge, is very helpful and flexible.
