A place where you need to arrive with high energy as you certainly will be met with high energy! A placement that really offers the chance to meet the local community and practice Portuguese. Also right by a beautiful beach.

Our stay at the inn wasn't quite what we expected. On one hand Joaq was a truly nice person. He was very social and you could always have a nice chat with him. On the other side the work aspect wasn't quite what we had expected. There was no plan nor schedule for us volunteers. Joaq didn't really have a clue on how to make a work plan so we ended up doing it. In general the days were quite messy and the pousada was under chaotic conditions when we came and again when we left. I think it is just very difficult for one person to keep up with such a big pousada.

Je devais peindre sur certains murs ainsi que sur des tissus des scènes en rapport avec l identité l'auberge- brésilienne de l'auberge. J' ai eu une grande liberté, autant dans la réalisation que dans les horaires. L auberge est située dans la partie nord de la ville, à proximité immédiate de superbes plages.

My experience at Ebora Pousada pleased me a lot, especially the community aspect and the French initiation courses I taught to the children. We were four volunteers and it was a calm period, so it went well for me. Besides the tasks, I also sometimes cooked for the staff. Thanks to Joca for this opportunity, he is always very smiley and pleasant. It's a simple social hostel that could benefit from a few improvements, but overall it was very decent and the place has a lot of charm and is located in a quiet neighborhood, 2 minutes from the beach.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN!!
The environment is extremely dirty and unpleasant, but the worst is the lack of security.
The women’s room has no lock and is on an isolated floor.
The host knew of previous reports of abusive behavior by a man who resided on-site and did not take action.
A guest was subjected to abuse, and when confronted, she was assaulted.
He also tried to assault me, and I had to flee to protect myself.
The host suggested that the victims report it, but did not offer emotional support or any comfort to the guests.
An extremely traumatic experience!!!

The host was responsive in contacting us and we authorized entry on the 27th. However, the experience was traumatic. The structure is precarious: drywall/foam walls, a bathroom without a door and a bedroom without a lock. The boundary was crossed by a volunteer (outside the app) who stood by my bed watching me sleep in the early hours. We discovered a history of harassment with other women there. The host verbally confirmed that he knew everything, but refused to eject him immediately, offering only a room with a broken lock. A very dangerous place for women!

We checked in on 27/09 and left on 29/09. Right upon arrival, the owner mentioned a case of harassment at the site, assuring that it had already been resolved. The facilities are precarious: bathrooms without doors and rooms with defective doors and no locks. In the morning, the volunteer (outside the app) touched my foot while I was sleeping. The owner verbally confirmed that he already knew the whole history of the guy, but refused to eject him, keeping the harasser in the same room as us and exposing us to danger. The alternative offered was a room with a broken lock. Total negligence!!!
