Staying in Portimão was an amazing experience. We were 4 volunteers in total, sharing a room with two bunk-beds and our own bathroom. The space was very comfartable, I have nothing to complain. As for the staff, all very friendly and I'll miss each one very much. The work itself is reasonable after you get the idea of the system used at reception. Sometimes we help in the cafe as well. Ana is very busy handling it all, so she is not always as present, but we volunteers and staff are always helping each other. I wish all the best for the hostel :) Thank you for having me.

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel mostly because of the amazing girls i met but also because of the beautiful landscape surrounding this place. The work was easy and the working hours were fair. The hostel is very beautiful and the staff is friendly. The hostel is very calm and sometimes it was a little boring but i can still recommend it to go there if you are there to see the beautiful south of portugal!

I had a great experience in Portimao mostly because of the people I met and the beautiful landscapes and beaches. However I couldn't say the same about the experience at the hostel. I was a little disappointed with the experience: the food that was given to us for lunch and dinner was definitely a problem and sometimes we didn't even have breakfast. For the first two weeks of my stay I had to stay in a guest room with paying guests, after that I had a bed in the volunteers room but I was never given a key.

Same feeling here: we also felt disappointed with having you.
What's wrong with staying in a guest room with paying guests? You didn't pay for it, It was free, as you expected. Volunteers room is for 4, if we didn't have an extra bed, we gave you an upgrade...
And you know that we had a problem with the lock, that's why you did not get a key. All girls in the room knew it.
It's also very unprofessional that you never said before coming that you couldn't work at reception, and then anytime we asked for your help at the restaurant (once it was the only thing you could do) you didn't care.
This is volunteer, not vacations. If you want vacations, you've to pay for it.
I didn't give you a bad review so as not to harm your profile, but as you can imagine I wouldn't give you more than one star either.

Wish you all the best for your future.

I had a great time here at the hostel! I met some really great people while working here. The work was straightforward and only took a day or two to catch on to. Portimao is a fun place to be and is close to bigger cities. The beach is a 30 min walk and is beautiful. Ana was very professional and her expectations were clear. I would just ask if I needed anything and she was very nice and responsive :).There is no lunch or dinner on Sundays and Mondays and the food provided was the same for lunch and dinner. I had a great stay and would recommend the experience!
