I had an excellent time at the hostel. Vitor, the host, and all the other volunteers were very friendly and welcoming as soon as I arrived. The working hours were well respected and the work itself is quite chill, although I was here in the off season. The nearby beach, just a 5 minute walk, is great for surfing and other outdoor activities. I had a great experience, would recommend.

I loved my first volunteer experience at a hostel. The atmosphere was relaxed, international, and full of positive energy. I met fantastic and, above all, very helpful people, improved my communication skills, and learned to challenge myself. It's located just steps from Carcavelos beach, perfect for those who want to learn to surf, or for anyone who wants to discover a little of Portugal. Thanks for everything!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

This was my first experience worldpackers experience ever and the start of my journey. I really enjoyed my stay and the host Vitor really cared about his volunteers. It's a good spot to check out the beautiful sights in Portugal and visit Lisbon.I really recommend this place but maybe not in the winter months.

I had a fantastic time at the hostel, I met some wonderful people both fellow volunteers and hostel guests. I have walked away with lifelong friendships which I think is a testament to the great atmosphere at the hostel. Between the proximity to the beach as well as the easy commute in to Lisbon, the hostel is great in terms of accessibility for Worldpackers. Vitor was a wonderful host, our responsibilities were always clearly communicated yet the work load was fair and allowed for plenty of beach time!

The hostel was my house and a piece of my heart always will be there. This hostel, and people Who live there (volunteer, mensalistas etc) welcome me as if i were part of a family. I will never forget the deep conversations with Luis, the hugs with Vitor, and the laughter with Camis and the other volunteers. In Carcavelos I leave some of the most beautiful memories ever. Thank you for everything ❤️

Vitor was a lovely and approachable manager. The hostel is in a perfect location. The local surf beach is super friendly for beginners. The working hours are super fair & I even had the opportunity to go away and spend a few nights up north exploring on my days off!

Had such a chill and fun experience at the hostel in Carcavelos! ✨ Lots of volunteers and guests from all over the world, which made it super easy to connect and share good vibes. I got the chance to practice surfing, enjoy the pool in the summer, and explore Portugal while keeping up with some easy tasks during working hours. Great balance between helping out and having time to enjoy the place! 🌊☀️

The first day I arrived at the hostel, I immediately felt like part of the family. I learned a lot about Brazilian and Portuguese culture and enjoyed every single day! The working hours were really fair, and I loved the space where the volunteers stayed. Vitor made sure everyone felt comfortable, and you could talk to him if you had any concerns. I am so grateful for this experience, and I would have stayed longer if I could. The people are what make this place so special.

I lived the best 9 months of my life at the hostel. 💙 The volunteers, together with Vitor and our amazing guests, brought out the best in me and embraced me in such a way that, before I knew it, I already loved everyone! There were countless laughs, serious conversations and moments I'll carry with me forever and I'm deeply grateful for every single second. Today I have friends from all over the world and I can't wait to see them again soon. Thank you, CSH25! Foi um verão coooooooompletamente doido ❤️🌎
