The Experience

We are not looking for volunteers who come for vacation! We are a really fun team, but work always comes first! The service will mainly be reception and contact with customers. You will also need to help with cleaning, breakfast, and whatever is needed. Dynamic work in one of the best hostels on the west coast of Europe! 1 min from the beach!

It was my first experience as a volunteer and I would definitely recommend this stay. I had a great time and felt very welcomed by the staff and all the other volunteers. You get to meet a lot of new people, both guests and volunteers from all over the world. I really enjoyed spending time with everyone. Porto Covo is a touristic village with a few souvenir shops and restaurants. The hostel is very close to the beach and has a great view from where you can watch beautiful sunsets. You have three days off a week, which gives you plenty of time to explore the area. Thanks to everyone!

If you want to a have some peace and quiet, with beautiful nature all around the hostel is the right place to be. The Hostel is a nice place to hang out, it became like a living room for me! The guests are cool, the views are amazing and the other volunteers and employees makes the whole experience a lot of fun! I 100% recommend this place! If you want more details about the everyday life feel free to write to me !

I had one of my best experiences volunteer here. The team is super friendly and helpful, they really makes you feel home. The work is really chill in low season so you can enjoy the days pretty good. Also the hostel and town is incredible beautiful! I totally recommend this place 🤍 Hope to come back soon !
