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!

The hostel was my first volunteering and it went beyond my expectations! Everyone in the team was extremely welcoming since the very first day. I learned new tasks daily, little by little, what made the chores easy to understand and carry out. I learned a lot about hostel management and the history of Braga, what made me more confident to talk to guests and to even come up with ideas to improve their stay in the hostel. Thank you, Nelson, Rafa and Aníbal, for such a wonderful time!! I definitely feel like I have a second family in Portugal ❤︎❤︎

The hostel was a great experience. I was warmly welcomed and well trained and prepared for my task from the Team. The atmosphere is pretty familiar, because many guests stay longer and you really can get to know them. The hostel is direclty in the center The work is well organised and the days of are highly respected. Everyone staff and worldpackers do the same work which is very fair. The work is like in the comittment. I learned a lot and make good friends. The vibe for working is always positive and helpful. Food is fully included and collegues eat together. Highly recomented

Sin duda fue una experiencia increíble. Haber trabajado en la recepción atendiendo a huéspedes me ayudo a practicar mi ingles y portugués. Pude sumergirme en la cultura local. Braga es una ciudad donde todo el tiempo tiene eventos culturales, como festivales, exposiciones. A si mismo tiene muchas ciudades importantes cerca como Oporto o lugares de naturaleza como Gerês . Por lo que nunca te aburrirás. Siempre hay algo que hacer. Nelson siempre esta a disposición para ayudarnos en lo que precisemos y hacernos sentir bienvenidos. Obrigada por tudo!.

Minha experiência no hostel foi muito enriquecedora, pude aprender como funciona um hostel, auxiliando na recepção de hóspedes do mundo inteiro e fazendo com que a estadia deles fosse positiva. A convivência com os voluntários também foi muito importante - conhecendo as diferenças de hábitos de cada um e tendo a oportunidade de praticar o inglês e o espanhol. A cidade de Braga é um local seguro e com diversas atividades culturais - teatros, shows, exposições gratuitas - dou um destaque para a festa de São João, em junho, que foi apaixonante. Obrigada ao Nelson por tudo! Um ótimo host :)

Este ha sido mi primer voluntriado en worldpackers y, sin duda, creo que es difícil de superar. Tengo la inmensa suerte de poder viajar junto a mi mejor amiga y compañera de proyecto y Nelson nos recibió a ambas con los brazos abiertos y con toda la generosidad que lo caracteriza. Nelson es una persona amorosa, respetuosa y está siempre dispuesto a ayudar a todo el mundo y gusta de hablar mucho. Los voluntarios que pasamos por aquí nos convertimos en familia y el cuida de los suyos. Ojo, eltrabajo es por momentos intenso, pero el clima que se arma es hermoso. el hostel es, sin duda, un hogar

Llegar al hostel fue como llegar a casa. Las actividades fueron realmente fáciles y bien distribuídas. Nelson es una gran persona, muy amable y bien dispuesto a ayudar en todo lo que sea necesario para sentirte a gusto y aprender sobre hoteleria e incluso desarrollar tu trabajo en la comunidad local. 100% recomendable.

Minha experiência no hostel foi ótima!Na recepção pude ter contato com diversos viajantes. As horas são cumpridas e o trabalho não é difícil. Os turnos são flexíveis e pode ser comunicado alguma troca com antecedência. Nelson é um ótimo anfitrião sempre dando recomendações do que fazer ao redor. Todos no hostel foram muito atenciosos e gentis. A cidade é linda e tranquila mas sempre há algo pra fazer. Recomendo a experiência e espero voltar! Obrigadaaa 🩷
