The people from the hostel are really open and super kind. The hostel is close to Lisbon and 3 minutes from the beach so the location is perfect. Vitor is a really nice guy and he is very help full if you have any problems. The tasks are pretty easy so you get a lot of free time to enjoy!

I had an amazing experience staying in Carcavelos. Because of a great location you always find something fun to do. The work was easy and you get schedule a week in advance so you can plan trips around Portugal. The biggest highlight of my stay was for sure a good company in the hostel and late night trips to Lisbon.

It was an incredible and unforgettable experience where I learned a lot of skills and met a lot of great people. The feeling of a group is always present and all the plans and activities I made with all my colleagues would not change them for anything in the world. Totally recommended!!!
