Teach Yoga in our magical Garden

I've had a great time in the hostel the hostel. Everyone from the staff was friendly and caring and the work I did was very appreciated. I have been living in a little house in the garden (with avocado and lemon trees and a lot of sun during the day). For a while our bathroom didn't work which sucked but we could still use the ones in the hostel. Would have been great if the generally good wifi would have reached our house (but this did not really do much to the experience). It was especially nice to be a group of volunteers so we could share a lot during my time here.

Beautiful hostel with great people. Nico was very accommodating and helpful. There is a garden bar in back that is for sure the nicest I've ever seen in a hostel. Jealous of any future volunteers that will be here in the summer! Thanks for everything!

A experiência no hostel foi maravilhosa, as pessoas que trabalham lá são incríveis e divertidas, fiz vários amigos. Gostaria de ter ficado mais, mas não foi permitido. Recomendo a experiência, mas se prepara para o trabalho.

Despite having to leave early for personal reasons, I really enjoyed my experience at the hostel! The staff and other volunteers were super lovely and easy to get along with, and it was so cool having a separate room for just volunteers in the garden. The work was straightforward and easy, and left plenty of time to explore the hostel. Also, the hostel is located perfectly - right next to the metro station, some great viewpoints, thrift shops, and great cafes and bars.

Overall the experience was good, the hours were respected, and the volunteer house was OK although it is quite small for 10 people, and there's no locks on the bathroom. As the other volunteers said some tasks like housekeeping and bar can be kinda rough. It's a big place and not the most welcoming one, and it doesn't really got that "hostel vibes" we expect. If you forget even the smallest of tasks you may be called out in front of everyone in the whatsapp group, wich can be a little demeaning. As the others said the best part is really meeting the other volunteers!

My experience was good, the best part is getting to create close friendships with the other volunteers! There were a few issues with the volunteer room my first 2 weeks but it was super easy to communicate with the managers and get it resolved. One con is housekeeping, it's a lot of work and during the middle of the day (11am-4pm), I think sometimes the housekeeping staff forgot that we are volunteers. One tip is use your free time wisely it goes by so quick, make the most of the beaches and activities nearby! Overall it was great and unique experience!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! I was expelled from the hostel with the justification that my work was not "enough", since I only did one of the activities (housekeeping) proposed by the hostel, all the other volunteers did the other activities, besides that I was expelled for a personal matter and that all the volunteers knew and even found the hostel's attitude shameful, another justification was that I could not volunteer and work, and other volunteers also did, which proves the personal attack. Run away from this hostel. I DON'T RECOMMEND IT TI ANYONE!!

Jose, your actitude was not the best one when you where pretending to choose the shift and activities because you have a job since the beggening, we are no looking that kind of volunteers. WE want volunteers to live the experience of being part of our family.
I am sorry if for you didnt finish well your experience but to preserve the rest of the team sometimes we have to make decitions for the best of everyone.
We already had more than 300 volunteers, and 86 incredibles reviews, hope you can understand that maybe the problems it was not our.

Very social. You will meet a lot of great people and all the staff is very nice, respectful and good at teaching. The volunteer-rooms are ok. The beds are allright, but you have to get used to mosquitoes during the night. During my stay, the toilet, sink and shower broke down, so for the last 10 days or so we did not have our own place to pee, shit or shower. So thats a minus. Some of the work can be fun and social, but it can also be very exhausting and tiring at times. All in all, I had a very good experience, but I still feel like it's a lot of work for what you get back.

My stay here was great. The workers at the hostel, were some of the nicest people ever, and they made my time in Portugal worthwhile! You work 5 hour shifts, sometimes they can get boring when there is not enough to do, but you are required to stay for the full 5 hours. There are cameras everywhere so the rules are in-forced. The room that the volunteers stay in is rundown, and the door can't be locked because there aren't enough keys for it, which felt unsafe. Also for part of the time the bathroom was broken, they didn't prioritize fixing it and when I left it was still broken.

This was my first experience as a volunteer and I enjoyed it. The schedule was always clear and the tasks where definitely feasible. The hostel itself is really nice, the volunteers stay at a separate house in the garden which was a bit small for the amount of volunteers. I'm really grateful for the people I met during my stay and who made this experience memorable :)
