I had the most amazing experience volunteering at the hostel! From the moment I stepped in the door I felt right at home. The reception team is incredibly helpful and professional and the volunteers are so supportive of each other in the work. I had the opportunity to experience the best of Porto through this hostel while finding genuine friendship between both the guests and the other volunteers. If you're into the party lifestyle I cannot recommend this place enough. I would have stayed longer if I could!

I had the best time ever in the hostel! Everyone was so welcoming and kind :) the work wasn't too difficult and was definitely worth the stay. Mel is such a great manager and keeps the hostel in the best shape. I cannot think of a single negative thing to say about my experience, and I think that speaks for itself 😋

The hostel was the best first volunteering experience I could have asked for! The whole staff was wonderful and the volunteers Mel picks are the best, I really felt like family with my group. Also a wonderful way to meet people from everywhere around the world. Loved every day I spent there!

Working at the hostel was definitely an unforgettable experience. I had so so so much fun every single day meeting all the amazing guests that came to the hostel, as well as bonding with all the other amazing volunteers working alongside me. The work can get a bit overwhelming as there is always something going on at the hostel and there's little time to rest but once you settle down and find a balance between work and personal time it becomes much more easygoing. Porto is a BEAUTIFUL city and the people are some of the friendliest locals I've met anywhere.
