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 ;)!!

We can't recommend this volunteering experience enough! We had an incredible time at the hostel. Nadia and Luis are both so kind and welcoming. The work is respected and not too hard. The place itself is just amazing, the ocean, the surf culture, the beautiful sunsets…everything was simply perfect! Big thanks also to the other volunteers who made our stay even more special. It was truly hard to say goodbye, and we really hope to come back soon! Obrigado!🫶🏻🫶🏻

I agree with every positive review written here!:D What made this volunteer experience incredible is that Nádia and Louis genuinely care about the volunteers' experience and are truly kind people in general. They created an atmosphere where I felt comfortable from the very beginning. The work was manageable, and the volunteer rooms were nice. I met five lovely volunteers <3, along with many other wonderful guests and locals. I really enjoyed the small, relaxed town, the ocean, and surfing ☀️. These five weeks will stay with me forever. Thank you for everything, Blanka

Volunteering at the hostel was a very special experience for me - the people I met, sunsets, surf sessions, and even the more relaxed moments at the hostel will always have a place in my heart. Thank you Blanka and John, you guys were the best <3 Nádia and Luis are truly wonderful people - kind, caring, and with seemingly inexhaustible patience. I will miss them both. Communication on the work was always clear and the working times were respected. The surrounding beaches are beautiful (esp Praia dos Frades!) Lots of love, obrigada por tudo :) Mitti

Right - twas a wonderful experience. Surfing is great, volunteers were very social and the hosts were incredible, especially nadia who helped me practice my Spanish. Surfing can be a challenge as it is a 40 min ish bike ride but there's so much to do around. Cannot reccomend this enough. Hope to see you all soon. Much ta, John

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!!!
