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

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!

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

Tuve una cálida y cómoda experiencia en el hostel. Nelson, es un muy buen anfitrión y se preocupa por la comodidad de los voluntarios como también respeta el horario y hace lo posible para que tu tiempo libre se adecúe a tus necesidades. Braga es una ciudad maravillosa, tiene muchos sitios por visitar y también su estación de autobuses es muy comercial por lo que puedes ir a muchos lados del país. En general pasé una bonita experiencia. Muchas gracias por todo, Nelson!
