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.

This experience was amazing! At the start the jobs felt a bit overwhelming, but with practice and support from the other volunteers it became easier. The party shifts are always fun and such a great way to meet travelers. The host Mel is a great balance of a being a manager who gets the job done and also being someone to support you and have a laugh with. I had my ups and downs during my stay but overall I learned a lot, made so many friends, shared laughs and stories, and that's all I could ever ask for!

Working at the hostel was an incredible experience. Not only were all the receptionists and Mel very nice, but you got on really quickly with the other volunteers. I have found a second family here that I will carry in my heart forever! The hostel is perfect for people who like to socialise and party, as you have the opportunity to party and play drinking games every night! The working hours were always respected and Mel did her best to make everyone feel comfortable. I would come back anytime. <3

My stay at one fam was incredible, the team feels like a big family. Mel is the best, she makes sure you feel comfortable and everything runs smoothly, which makes your job as a volunteer very easy. The guys at the reception (arthur, heloisa and pien) help you with anything you need and are always supportive. The activities are easy if you enjoy socializing with others, you can enjoy getting to know the city together with the guests and connect with many people (I made a lot of friends) the hours are always respected, so you have time to do things on your own. I will miss Porto and the hostel.

Had the most gorgeous time in Porto at the hostel. The work is incredibly straightforward (and fun) and the hours are very generous. Mel is a fantastic hostel manager who is fun and fair. She is incredibly communicative and supportive which is something I really appreciated. The hostel location is incredible and the facilities of the building are some of the nicest I've experienced. If you're a fun-loving, social, positive party person, I would highly recommend this experience.

I had a super fun experience volunteering at the hostel. There was always new laughs to be had with the other volunteers and guests. The 3 days off per week was great and with the exception of night shift it never really felt like you were working. I made some great friends and felt so supported by Mel and the receptionists 🫶. If you want 5 weeks of partying and letting loose, then this experience is for you.

I had a wonderful 5 weeks in Porto❤️ the hostel Ribiera is the most social hostel I have ever stayed in and I am so grateful to have met such incredible people from all over the world and to have found a second family amongst the other volunteers. The schedule is busy but extremely fun and I already miss our little family, the hostel, and Porto immensely. Highly recommend :)

I had an amazing time at the hostel in Porto. The hostel is really beautiful and comfy, the organization was very good, and the tasks were really easy to do. I got to meet wonderful people from everywhere while improving my English skills. Mel is such an awesome host; she will be there if you need her. I really recommend everyone to volunteer there. Porto is a really beautiful city, I won't forget my experience there.
