I'm very happy and grateful to have been able to volunteer at the hostel Porto Covo. It was a wonderful experience! I met wonderful people and learned new things, in addition to practicing my English. Everyone is very welcoming and always open to conversation and suggestions. The place is wonderful! I just had a few details that needed to be improved in the volunteer space, but they're already working on it. I'm very grateful for this opportunity. I'm eager to return, and I definitely recommend it :)

I had a great month here at the hostel in the hostel! The work was as agreed upon and the staff were very welcoming. I worked at the front desk and loved meeting all the guests from all over the world. It was such a chill place to be, right near the beach and close access to the fisherman's trail was definitely a highlight of mine. I felt very informed throughout the experience, knowing ahead of time what to expect or what to do in special situations. Light work with meaningful impact from the people I interacted with on a daily basis. Thank you the hostel staff!

It was very easy to fall in love with this village and this experience. I came at the start of the hostel opening, and it was really cool to be a part of a hard working team! I got to learn many different skills and engage with travelers from all over. The accommodations (sleep, food, time off) were amazing, the people were wonderful. I don't think it was hard work, but sometimes there were unexpected jobs to do. Valeriia was flexible and respectful of my time, and willing to give favors as long as the respect was mutual. I hope to come back soon, I miss it already!

I overall enjoyed my time in the hostel. I made great friends with other volunteers and was able to go to the beach and enjoy surfing during my free time. Also, Valeriia does so much for us and the hostel. However, the workload was quite intense for a volunteer, often being left alone in charge of various tasks. The hostel could use some improvements and more staff to help it run more efficiently. We could use another Portuguese speaking staff to help with reception.

I was at the hostel Porto Covo (they have 2 locations). The location of the hostel is beautiful! Sometimes there was quite a lot of work with running the restaurant. The staff house is a serious/ illegal health hazard with black mould all over the bathroom walls. Management has been aware for months, but the constant reply is "they are working on it". These conditions actually got their previous WP page taken down, but it is still the same. This place has potential & the people are nice, but volunteers don't feel cared for. If you want to apply, I urge you to ask for photos of the house.

I really enjoyed my time in the hostel porto covo and will always carry this experience it in my heart. I really liked the vibe & nature– The staff are very open and friendly. I made real friends. <3 Your days off are always in a row, so you can explore portugal. If you're looking for a party hostel and a city where something is always going on, this isn't the right place for you. Porto Covo is a small cute village. The bathroom is in a terrible condition. It's full of mold, and the toilet flush doesn't work. Anyways thank you for everything, i enjoyed!

I was a volunteer in Porto Covo for 4 weeks and my time there was incredible. If you are looking for a relaxed beach town with many beaches nearby then this is the place for you. We worked 4 days, 8 hour shifts, and had 3 days off. It was easy to get to Lisbon, Peniche, Lagos etc. The work load can be alot at times, I was mainly in the cafe/ restaurant but at times was the only volunteer or staff in there. The staff are amazing and quickly became like family. The main issue with this experience is the accommodation, mold was a huge issue so I would inquire if that is resolved prior to going.
