I had an amazing time at the hostel in Carcavelos! The experience was unique, meeting volunteers from around the world. The work hours were fair, and tasks were enjoyable. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach with surfboards available for use, and easy access to Lisbon and Cascais. A big thanks to Vítor, the manager, who made me feel incredibly welcome. If you're looking for a relaxed, fun place to stay with great people and a fantastic location, I highly recommend it!

I had a great time at the hostel! The hostel is quiet and close to the beach and train station. Working hours are respected, tasks are simple, and the manager is flexible and supportive. Sometimes it was challenging with Portuguese-speaking guests, but the team helped a lot, and I managed well with international guests. I loved meeting people from all over the world, sharing fun moments with the team and guests and practicing languages. In my free time I could explore Lisbon or relax at the beach, while on my days off I could travel to farther places. I truly recommend this experience 🫶🏻

It says that they want English speakers but majority of the guests and team only speak Portuguese or very limited English. My time was just hard due to language barrier, not all guests wanted to use google translate with me which lead to them being annoyed that I didn't speak Portuguese, a guest (man) had handcuffs in his bed that he asked a woman team member to change his sheets, there's another guest that's racists who practically lives there (if you disagree with him then he gets into your face to try to scare you), most guests live there full time which is a bit uncomfortable.
