A good time in Braga, collaborating with us...

I really enjoyed the time during my stay in the hostel. It has a really nice work environment where I felt very comfortable and welcomed. The hosts, the other volunteers and the guests made my stay really enjoyable. It is a great hostel to make friends so I extremely recommend it.

I had a great time in Braga, the team is lovely! The city is very beautiful and has great sights in the area! We had a few problems with our room and Nelson tried very very hard to fix it. The rooms for the volunteers could be a little more comfortable and lovingly furnished. In general, the hostel lacks a cozy atmosphere, which is probably due to the age of the building. In October there was little going on and there was little work. In general, the work was very, very easy and fun. I would still recommend it (probably more in summer time) and I met really nice people there! Thanks you!

Nelson and Rafa are super nice and helpful. Shifts last 6.5 hours, but tasks are easy. Braga is a great place to volunture, because there is everything you need and at the same time is a very chill place to live. The location of Braga js perfect, because its very close to lovely Porto and other amazing places. Hostel is very small and its very easy to meet other travelers. As I said, Rafa and Nelson are super cool, but organization should be improved, especially at weekend when they dont work. Also, many things that are in hosts profile dont exist, so keep it in mind.

It was my first expirience volunteering and it was awesome. The shifts were six hours and a half which sometimes was tireing, but the job itself wasn't hard to do. The owner and the manager are really flexible with your free days so it's easy to do trips. What made my stay worth it was definetly the other volunteers and the people that i've met there. Braga has a spot in my heart now.

My 4th WP travel and I have mixed feelings towards it. The city's nice and the buses are cheap, so it's easy to visit other cities around! I met amazing people, but I wouldn't say it's a social place, there aren't common areas or events like most hostels. It's a very chill spot, not the best to get to know other travelers. I also think they promised things that weren't actually true, for ex the laundry isn't free and you don't actually work as a party promoter. If you're the kind of traveler that's very outgoing I believe that are better hostels for you, but if you just wanna chill it's good!

Sinceramente al principio todo fue bien, después tuve un viaje con mi hermana el cual tuve un problema y no pude llegar a mi turno del día. Nelson me gritó por teléfono y me dijo muchas cosas. Entiendo su enojo pero creo que nadie debe gritarme y mucho menos una persona que le estoy ayudando, no soy su trabajadora. Luego una chica americana llego al hostal y Nelson la rechazó porque “no le daba buena espina”. Y la pobre chica se quedo sin donde ir, gracias a dios al final consiguió algo si no se hubiera quedado en la calle o se hubiera tenido que regresar a su país antes de tiempo.

Nelson ha risposto

Daniela had a total disrespect for everyone.
She arrived and the first thing she asked was 4 days to visit someone, I said, as usual, no problem.
So the work plan was made around that, with the efforts of colleagues. The day she was supposed to arrive, she didn't show up, without justification(when we are, or work with volunteers, there is something very important, the commitment).
In the next day, we talked and everything was fine, I thought. After, I have a call from a guest saying, he saw Daniela and Alexandra, leaving the Hostel with their bags.
It was confirmed, the Hostel was abandoned, in the middle of the work period, without saying anything to anyone, which is very serious.The safety of the Hostel and the guests was concerned.
After this lying comment, she shows who is she...

This was my experience as a volunteer but after it I will surely continue to do volunteer experience or even come back to the hostel again! The tasks are easy and easily learnable and even if the work hours may seem a lot, a good part of the time is just spent checking the cleanliness of the hostel and interact with guests while the main work is during cheak-outs, making beds and cleaning dorms. The work environment is very chill and friendly and the vibe is always good. Nelson and the other volunteers/staff are always available to help and to spend time together.

I had a great experience volunteering at the hostel, unfortunately, my time was cut short to a family issue which was a massive shame. But I enjoyed my time here.

The hostel was my first experience as a volunteer. I don't have words to describe how much love and joy my month there has brought into my life! I made a lot of friends, some of them probably for life; everyday I had the chance to meet people from all across the world, to talk to them and learning about their backgrounds. The staff at the hostel is welcoming and always available for any needs/doubts, the tasks are easy to learn and the timetable of the shifts is always respected. Extremely grateful for this experience. Absolutely recommended!
