My experience in the hostel was amazing and unforgettable. I met lovely people from all over the world and I also make new friends. Natacha and Joรฃo were always taking care of us and the housekeeping is very kind too. I was volunteering at reception. The job is easy to learn, but you have some responsibilities. The schedule is very good because you have many days off. I can't recommend you more this experience. Three free meals per day in a hostel with an unbeatable location. All this trying to be more and more sustainable. Thank you so much! Muito obrigada! ยกGracias por todo!

Marta was an absolute pleasure to host at Impact Beach House. She is incredibly mature, calm, and easy-going, which made her a natural fit at the reception and with the rest of the team. Always friendly and kind, she got along with everyone and created a great atmosphere in the hostel. Her creativity brought valuable improvements to our daily routines, and we admired her courage to embrace even the tasks that were new to her. Marta is a truly lovely person and we were lucky to have her!

The experience was smooth and fun! Natacha is a great host, always making sure we're comfortable with tasks and available to help. The team is multicultural, mostly composed by latins, what made me feel at home. The shifts are pretty chill as the hostel has a very tranquil vibe. It's important to keep in mind the position requires real work responsibilities, such as managing cash flow and executing tasks often on your own. The energy is very light and happy, rooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable, food is great! The space and wi-fi are perfect for remote work. Thank you everyone <3

Isabella volunteered with us at the reception and performed her tasks responsibly and with good energy. She is proactive and creative, bringing ideas such as karaoke sessions that turned into a fun and engaging activity for everyone. With her strong Brazilian spirit, she brought liveliness to the house. At the same time, she has a very strong personality and can be direct in her communication, so she might adapt better in environments that match her style. Thank you for everything Isabella!

Paula was a truly special volunteer to host. She has an amazing, chilled vibe and a beautiful soul that immediately connected with everyone. As a talented tattoo artist and painter, she literally left her mark on the hostel, creating both art on our walls and cherished memories with the people she met. She brought great energy, friendship, and creativity to the team. She is more of a creative spirit than a detail-focused person but her overall presence and contribution were unforgettable!

Wise experiences to all of us๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿš€...cheersโœŒ๏ธ

Iago supported us mainly with driving, maintenance, and some reception tasks. He is very detail-oriented and showed dedication to improving processes such as updating documents, organizing lists, and suggesting better feedback procedures, which were valuable contributions. He is polite and committed to trying his best to be involved and welcomed. At the same time, he is more task-focused than people-focused, so he may adapt better to roles that require structure and precision. Thank you Iago!

The hostel was my home for 3 months! I'm so grateful to had my first worldpackers/ volunteer experience here! The tasks were super simple, there's always someone around to have a little hand if it's needed. I think is the most perfect environment to be in constant cultural exchange and share the best energy with amazing people! I had the opportunity to travel as much as I could, I also improved my English! The location is wonderful, super close to the beaches and also super easy to go to Lisbon and cascais. I couldn't be more grateful for everything I learned in this last 3 months! ๐Ÿฉท

Sofia was a joy to have with us at Impact Beach House. She is incredibly sweet, friendly, and responsible, always bringing kindness and a gentle energy to the team. She started a bit shy and not the most proactive, but soon proved to be a hard worker and a wonderful colleague who could always be relied on. We truly appreciated her presence and the positive spirit she shared with everyone. You will always be welcomed here ;) Thank you!

As a first experience I couldn't have chosen a better place. The environment is wonderful, nice and flexible shifts, in front of the beach, all meals included and with great people. I was able to practice English daily in contact with volunteers and workaways and also learn about their environmental and sustainable projects. Rating 1000 for manager Natacha, incredible and very human person, makes you feel like part of the family. A special hug to Diogo and Rita who are the founders of the project and also excellent people. I highly recommend this experience and hope to see them again.

Tarik quickly became part of the family at Impact Beach House. He is such a wonderful person โ€” kind, polite, mature, and responsible โ€” always ready to help with a big heart and a positive attitude. Super flexible and talented, he supported us with driving, maintenance, and even some tech-related tasks where his skills were a huge help. Beyond his work, Tarik is the best kind of colleague: bringing joy, good energy, and a spirit of collaboration that lifted the whole team. Thank you Tarik!

The hostel has a great mission of sustainability and promotes conscious travel. I sincerely appreciate how the house includes different climate-conscious features, such as appliances and second-hand furniture. However, the organization of the program could improve. As a world packer, I would have appreciated more communication or structure within the experience. The team, for example, could incorporate weekly or bi-weekly team meetings with volunteers, especially for the social media staff. I also recommend that volunteers have strong Portuguese skills to integrate more with the team.

Sydney joined us to support with social media and communication. While she was always polite and receptive to feedback, this experience showed that she requires very clear directions, structured schedules, and close follow-up in order to perform her tasks. She has potential in creating photo and video materials, and perhaps in a different environment she might develop her skills further. Thank you for your help Sydney and we wish you all the best in future volunteering experiences!

Araceli arrived to Impact Beach House a bit shy, but throughout her volunteering she showed just how brave and courageous she truly is. She is a sweet person with a big heart, and at the same time responsible, mature, and flexible. A wonderful colleague to have around, Araceli handled stressful situations with calm and reliability, proving that we could always count on her. We miss her and wish her all the very best in her journey. Thank you Ara!!

The work is easy to learn, and even if any doubts come up, the team is always ready to help, also the shifts are planned in advance, making it simple to organize your free time and enjoy the experience to the fullest. The hostel has such a fun vibe, perfect for meeting amazing people from all over the world and creating unforgettable memories. Huge thanks to Natacha for being such an amazing manager.

My first volunteering experience through Worldpackers and couldn't be more grateful for my time there!!! From day one, Natacha, the manager, made me feel so welcomed and loved. She's the sweetest person ever, always going above and beyond to make sure your experience is the best one. The shifts were super manageable, leaving plenty of time to get to know Portugal, and the flexibility was a huge plus. The location couldn't be better: so close to the beach, as well as the train station.

Always kind and reliable, she was a good colleague who knew how to face challenges with determination. We are grateful for the time we shared and wish her nothing but success ahead. We miss you Regina!
