Milfontes Volunteer: Housekeeping with a View

I had an incredible time at the hostel in Porto Covo. The team is amazing and the work is fair. The small town and the amazing views make it a wonderfull, calm place to live. The only problem was the staff house which was in a really bad condition, but the management is aware of the problem and said they were going to fix it. Once that is done, i would recommend this position to everyone!

I was really disappointed in the living conditions. Mould in the staff house, a barely functional shower and toilet. They management said they would fix these problems but took little to no effort in trying. The actual staff was welcoming and friendly 10/10 to them. But don't expect much communication from the management in general. They seem to think as volunteers we are free labor and in a way we are, but we are they to help and learn.

My experience with the hostel was absolutely amazing. The people were great and the work is pretty easy and chill. The view is so stunning, I'm still not over the view from the cliffs and you're only a few steps away from the beach! The only negative thing I have to say is the staff accommodation. Of course it's not the fanciest place, that wasn't our intention. But the place is not really clean and there are stains that cannot be removed even if you try to clean. Especially the bathroom situation was difficult because it smells in there all the time. Otherwise I'd definitely come back :)

The work at the hostel is very straightforward and easy + some of the prettiest coastlines that I've ever seen (Porto covo location). The staff + other volunteers definitely make the experience so much better, enjoyed being able to explore with them on nights out or other nearby towns. My one con is the accommodation, it was pretty dismal. The state of it is pretty rundown, mouldy, and smelt pretty bad. Great location though, in between Lisbon and the algarve and transportation is cheap

I had an amazing experience volunteering at the hostel, Porto Covo! I loved the vibe of the hostel; relaxed, fun and really welcoming. The team is incredible, always kind and full of good energy! The work was easy and even fun, thanks to all the staff. The one thing that could improve is the volunteers' house. It's really old, dirty, and we had to share it with people who weren't volunteers at the hostel. Overall I had an amazing time and really recommend this experience!

The Porto Covo hostel was beautiful, it's directly next to the ocean and the kitchen was amazing, loved the people who were working there, the kitchen staff was the sweetest!! I enjoyed the food pretty much!However there were some problems with the experience. The place where the volunteers were staying was full of mold and it smelled bad, what is more there were people staying next room which I was not warned about:((. I was super scared the first night ,hearing some random man coming into the flat. I decided to go home much earlier, and I'm glad I did.

Walked away with mixed feelings about the hostel. The owner (Gonçalo) and the manager (Valeriia) really care about doing what's right for volunteers, but the volunteer room is full of mosquitos, and had heavy mold upon my arrival (later fixed!), causing me sleeping disturbances. Work hours are long, the two meals provided (should be 3!) are just okay, and the restaurant staff has a lot to improve in how they communicate more assertively and respectfully to volunteers. Vila the hostel is beautiful, housekeeping staff is wonderful, and did get the chance to socialize with travelers a little.

The month spent at the hostel flew by! I had the opportunity to meet so many people and improve myself. Working as a receptionist is quite intuitive and easy. I never had any problems handling the job also thanks to David and Valeriia who explained everything right away and were always available when I needed them. the hostel is very nice , the beaches are great and also the hikings around.It was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't ask to be better, thank you :)
