The experience was good, the people are kind and very flexible. The work is not difficult, although the 7 a.m. routine can be somewhat tiring for those who are not early risers. The location is the hostel and quiet, and the schedules and tasks mentioned are properly respected. I recommend this volunteering and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to each member of the team.

I stayed at the hostel for a month and highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the hostel, as the location is excellent. The working hours are clearly defined you work 5 hours a day, 5 times a week with a 15min break for breakfast. Sian, Louise, Matthew, Cássio, and most of the other staff members are very kind and communicative. Unfortunately, I wasn't very lucky, as the lift was out of order for almost three weeks, and the volunteers' room is on the fifth floor, so I didn't get to enjoy my time there as much as I'd hoped. I hope to return someday!

My experience at the hostel was exceptional. The hostel is nice and very clean. Louis, my host, was wonderful. He accompanied me at all times and found a more comfortable place for me to sleep. The breakfast is very good. Although I love eating eggs in the morning. In Lidl market walking from the Hostel about 10 minutes away 🛒 very economical for travelers with a specific money range. Volunteering is 5 hours per day and two days off. Gives time to get to know the city. The room is a little small but I know they are building a spectacular place for the future. volunteers. I would love to come back

The hostel is in an amazing location, super the hostel and perfectly connected to all parts of the hostel, couldn't have asked for better! The tasks were light and well explained, with fair hours and a clear routine. Faisa, who trained me, was lovely, patient and supportive. The only downside was the volunteer room: no opening window and four people inside, which made it hard to stay healthy over a full month. It's a quiet hostel, so not very social, but overall I'm very happy I joined and grateful for the experience. I'd definitely recommend it to others looking for a calm stay in the hostel.
