The Experience

The hostel is a family business, a factory for friendships, as I usually call it, and has a very relaxed atmosphere, located in a fantastic spot with excellent beaches! It's a small hostel with 12 rooms and a maximum capacity of 30 people. We offer to stay in a shared room and breakfast at this little paradise, in exchange for 4h of daily help with daily tasks ( there is no day off since you have half the day off ). Contact us ;)!!

While the hostel was just outside of the bigger town, I still had such a good time just hanging out with the other volunteers/guests, going on adventures and enjoying the beach. Build some extra budget for Uber/Bolt, but the volunteer bikes were also fine to cycle into town. Nadia and Luis were awesome and really made me feel welcome. The work is as written, but easy enough and you still do have most of your day. Honestly, for a first time world packer, I don't know how it could've gone better :) Also, the sunsets are amazing!!!

This was an amazing month spend in a very quiet (in may) place. The beach is right infornt of the hostel. The work depends on the amount of guests but very easy & quick. It is not very sociable town so keep that in mind. To surf for beginners you have to bike or uber (or hitchhike - very easy) to another beach in peniche or baleal.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. Nadia is the best host you could wish for and I made a lot of amazing memories with the other volunteers. The hostel is right next to the beach which is ideal for watching the sunset and beach days. The work is easy and the hours depend on how many guests there are, but it was usually done in around 2 hours. It's also a good place to learn how to surf. I would absolutely recommend this experience and can't wait to be back! Thank you to the people who made this time unforgettable:)

Volunteering at the hostel is amazing if you want to improve your surf skills , if you like calm , nature and relax time it's the place to be. The working hours are respected and honestly it's a very easy work , you just have to clean houses which is super easy and don't take more than 3 hours a day. The host are very kind , Nadia is the sweetest person ever, she will be here for you anytime and for anything ! Because the hostel is a quiet town , just be prepared that uber is going to be your best friend. So mind the expense to go visit around.

I had such a great time and fun experience at the hostel! I felt immediately welcomed, arriving there, and it was a great team! The working hours were respected and if you worked together well it was easy and done in 2-3 hours. It was close to the beach and i was even able to take some surflessons. :) I would definitely recommend this experience
