I went on this experience with my boyfriend and I think we both liked it equally. It was our first time volunteering in foreign country and we had a great experience. The people working there are the loveliest people ever. Everything was as the descriptions say. Great experience! Kitti&Mark

My first experience with WP and it was really good. Everything about the host was nice: fast communication, flexibility, and overall very nice conditions. Thank you, for giving people the opportunity to travel, look for new possibilities, and gain new experiences! Special thanks to Marcia for your patience and hard work!

This was a great first experience as a WorldPacker! The team here, especially Marcia and Madame Nazare, are welcoming, wonderful people! The tasks are as outlined in the listing, and you get a break from 11:30 to 11:50 or around that time. The hostel itself usually has guests who are walking the Camino de Santiago; it typically has a calmer vibe than some hostels I have stayed in. Located a 5-minute walk from the A metro line, which will take you into the city center in 25 minutes on one train or to the beach in 5 minutes (or a 25-minute walk).

It was my first experience, and although I was a bit nervous at first, the team was incredibly kind and welcoming, so I quickly felt at home. The shifts are simple to learn, and while some days can be busy, the atmosphere stays friendly. The hostel is good, with a pool table, kitchen, and garden, and you meet many travelers (pilgrims and surfers). The accommodation is basic, with little privacy, but fine if you're used to hostel life. It's easy to reach the center or the beach with public trainsport. Highly recommended lovely people, free time, and chances to explore Porto and nearby cities.

I had a great time at the hostel! The whole team was super kind, welcoming and flexible with the schedule. I always felt supported and comfortable, it truly felt like a little family. The only thing that felt a bit uncomfortable was that a supervisor came into the room twice to check if we were doing the tasks. I understand the intention, but it felt a bit unexpected. Still, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it to other volunteers, I'd love to come back someday!

Hi Bianca.
We also really enjoyed having you with us, and yes, you are like family.
Come visit us again someday.
Regarding your comment on WP about supervisors, I'd like to clarify that we don't have supervisors here other than the reception staff: me, Fabio, and Heitor.
And Ms. Nazaré. The only person who may have come in to see you is the Hostel Manager, but it's more than normal for him to check is property and not to keep an eye on you.
Kisses.

Overall it was a good experience. The hostel has a good location, the task were easy and most of the personal was friendly. You share the room with other volunteers but also with two people who live there permanently. Sometimes this was a bit problematic but we always came to solutions. In the end it was just as agreed before and if you are ok with the conditions it is worth a try.

I had a very good time at the hostel! The work, communication and people were good.The work hours were very respected but the work could get very tiring. The hostel is very good located! The sleeping Situation could be better. You sleep with the volunteers and two men that also work&live there in a room. The room has no door so it can be a bit loud during nighttime. All in all ,I had a very good time, especially because I was there with a good friend. But I think that the work is too much compared for what you get (sleeping situation and breakfast) Thank You for the good time!

In general, the experience was good. Marcia was always very nice and helpful. The room you sleep in needs improvements. The tasks are very repetitive and get boring over time. But I met other very nice volunteers.

I had a very good time at the hostel. Everyone was very nice to me whether it was the other volunteers, the guests or the employees, I met a lot of nice people. The work was very easy though it could be tiring from time to time. The room could use some improvement but except that everything was good. You should know that when I was there everyone knew Portuguese and some didn't know English, but that did not bother me at all, we still found ways to communicate.
