My time at the hostel was incredible!☺️ Everyone was so friendly, the work was fair and easy to pick up, and the managers and staff were super nice and relaxed. I loved it so much that I even extended my stay :) I formed deep friendships, and saying goodbye was really hard. I highly recommend this experience and can't wait to go back!

My experince at the hostel was amazing! The free surf and yoga lessons were unmatched! The staff was very kind and respectful, truely one of my favorite places and people to work with! The hours were always respected and the work was easily doable once you got the hang of it. My volunteer girlies and Juan were the best company I could have asked for🫶 Truely amazing people and an incredible time I will never forget. Thank you the hostel for everything🙏

I enjoyed my time here so much I decided to cancel my flight back home and extend a few days . Rodrigo ,Bea and Manduxo are so kind and welcoming . My first day here already felt like I had been here for months . I loved the yoga classes ,pool , the hammocks , surf lessons . The location is perfect . Only 5 min walk to Pingo (supermarket) , 10min walk to the beach , and 2 min walk to the station that will take you to the hostel (20min) and Cascais (15min). It was the perfect way to spend my summer ! Thank you to all the volunteers and staff I've created lifelong memories here :)

The hostel is wonderful: lot of green, lot of space and a swimming pool. It was super easy to get along with people. And here I met truly some of the best I have ever met. Rodrigo was a friend before than a manager and this helped me a lot while doing the assigned shifts: he was always kind and ready to help me. The shifts are very easy to do, sometimes in the busiest days it can get more intense, but it's normal. It is a very fair exchange. I wish you to be as lucky as I was to live this experience. LSH was one of the best thing happened in my life. Truly a home away from home.

It was my first time volunteering and I couldn't have had a better experience. Everybody, from the managers and volunteers to the guests, were extremely nice. Rodrigo was such a chill person so he really made you feel welcome there. Mandux was super funny and welcoming as well. I stayed there for a month but it felt like a week. I got to visit amazing places with incredible views. I also got the chance to surf a bit. I am truly grateful to have been part of the team even if was for a short period of time.
