The Experience

We are looking for somebody to help on the night shift. From June-September, we have a 24/7 reception, so we need somebody that will be in the hostel and make sure everything is in order. Late check-ins or very early check-outs, make sure people are not too noisy and don't bring people to the hostel that are not guests. Our hostel is a small fun hostel close to the beach. Looking forward to welcoming you to the our hostel family!

I had the time of my life at OTH! Roy and Aline (and of course Sunny!) are amazing hosts who truly care about their volunteers and also love to spend time with us😍 also I really liked the work at the hostel, as you get to meet so much people from all over the world. After this experience I know I have a second home in Portugal♥️ #OTHFamily #sunsettour♥️

One of the best experiences of my life! I spent a month at the hostel for my first volunteering adventure, and it couldn't have been better. The hostel is super nice and always clean, and the staff and owners are absolute gems – they make you feel like part of the family. The work is really chill, and you have lots of free time to explore the city, meet new people, or just relax. I'm so grateful for this experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a special place to volunteer! :)))))))

I spent the whole month of July at the hostel and I honestly couldn't have dreamed of a better place. The team is incredibly welcoming, kind and generous — they truly make you feel at home from day one. The energy of the place is so special: calm, cozy, and vibrant all at once. Guests come in as strangers and leave as friends (and it's not just a slogan — it's real!). I'm deeply grateful for everything I've experienced here. It's a place you'll carry in your heart long after you leave.

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience! Shifts were as agreed and scheduled a month in advance. The upstairs the hostel is an amazing hangout spot, it's close to the beach, and the team was super welcoming. Sunny, the hostel dog, made the experience extra special.

Hey Cuyler, I just realized that I didn´t write you a review. I´m so sorry about that. You were an absolute champ. You exceeded all expectations. You are super clever, calm in every situation. Very proactive. Super nice person to guests and staff. We wish you all the best and if you decide to volunteer in the Algarve again, we would love to have you back!. Enjoy your adventures.

Im very grateful of my time in OTH, they really treat everyone as a part of a family. The hostel is very well organized, clean and well managed and the work is very easy. The only thing that doesn't fit me very well was the location in the center of Albufeira. Indeed, it's perfect if you are a party person but in my case i found it a bit overwhelming. So if you are more of a chill person i suggest you to find another place. Other than that i would 100% recommend to work for OTH. Thank you for everything i will keep a part of you in my heart ❤️
