This was my first volunteer experience, and now that it's over, I can say that I didn't make a bad choice. the hostel is a big family, and I felt at home from the very first moment. The host Dai and her mother welcomed me and were always ready to help me. I am grateful for all their advice and guidance. I made good friends with the group of volunteers. It was amazing to be part of this team and learn and develop skills to work in a hostel. I give the hostel family a 1000 out of 10!

This was my first volunteer experience with Worldpackers and I was quite scared at the beginning, but Daia and the other volunteers always made me feel at home. I've met so many amazing people from all around the world, each with fantastic stories to share. I've also learned a lot of Portuguese, and Daia was always there to help me improve and get better. The first time I met her, she told me something that now, at the end of this experience, I can truly confirm: the hostel é uma grande família🫶🏻

It's even difficult where to start, my experience at the hostel was incredible and there couldn't be a better place to start this worldpackers adventure. Daiana and Dona Ivete are very nice people and welcomed me like family, the schedules were always respected and not at all difficult, the hostel is in a very central area, so after work you can still explore Porto which is one of the best cities that I've ever been. Eternal gratitude for everything I experienced there, I will carry them forever in my memories :)

The hostel is clean and organized. As a volunteer, I found the cleaning routine to be tough, since volunteers represent the entire workforce. Third parties are hired to work only when there is a lack of volunteers. In addition, unfortunately, my computer and some other things were stolen from my room at the hostel, but this is not an accusation against the hostel, the police report was duly filed, I can share the document.Altough Daia and Ivete are kind people, I can see some opportunities for improvement in terms of decision-making, management, and safety.

I really don't know how to describe it, because Daiana and Dona Ivete are exceptional human beings. Tasks are very well divided and communicated, breaks are well planned and there is always flexibility for both parties obviously. You feel at home and the feeling of "ownership" and care that we have developed for the hostel goes beyond volunteering. I connected with many travelers, and several languages ​​making my experience go to a higher level, I was able to learn and teach my own language too. About the location, there is no better!

I practiced my English and Spanish and met great people! Daiana and her mother are committed people and ensure that everything is always clean, orderly and working. I learned a lot. During the period of volunteering I made some suggestions, which were accepted, however some of my tasks and schedules were suddenly changed. I just believe it would be good have someone doing the night shift, because after the end of our shift and the departure of the owners, the volunteers become responsible for noise control, cooking and guest issues, even If we had worked all day.

I really enjoyed working at the hostel. I improved my englsih and portuguesee too. The hostel is super tidy, and everyone who works there try to keep it like that. My shift was respected, and also my meals. The hostel is near to town, so after my shift i used to go to one of the brigde. I worked as front desk and this is the dutty that i enjoyed more (speaking in three different languajes, receving guest from all world, working with different website plataform to rent a room). Also i worked as a housekeeper making beds. Unfortunatelly, the time flyes so, my month there, was fast.

Working at the hostel was a very good experience! The main task is to work at the reception and usually it's very chill. Sometimes I had to help cleaning but there was always another person to help me and the time schedule is very good. Louise is a great manager and friend that I was lucky to meet. I would recommend the hostel to everyone who wants to have a great experience in Porto! (:

I am incredibly lucky that my first volunteering experience has been in the hostel! Friendly atmosphere among the colleagues, they are very helpful. Obrigadissima, Lu, Derick, dona Ivete, Daiana! I will miss you! I haven't worked in hostels or hotels before, here I have learnt to deal with reception, to work in booking systems. Here you will work only half a day, so the other half you can explore the city and the suburbs, you have a plenty of free time! The hostel is extremely clean, quiet , exactly what I wanted. I will definitely return.

Esse foi meu primeiro voluntariado e tive uma experiência positiva. As tarefas e o hostel estavam dentro do esperado. As regras em relação à limpeza são bem rígidas, o que considero justo, já que é um hostel com grande circulação de pessoas. Como ponto de melhoria, uma comunicação mais direta pode tornar o ambiente mais leve. No geral, foi uma boa experiência. 🤍✨
