I had a wonderful time at the hostel. I truly felt welcomed there. Nadia and Luis are great hosts that always make sure you have everything you need. They have a close relationship to the volunteers which also makes the communication easy. I loved Peniche and the surroundings. You have plenty of free time to explore the sourrondings, especially Baleal and Papoa are stunning, go surfing, ride the bikes, take the bus to nearby big cities like Nazare or Lisbon. There is always something new to do and you never get bored. A big thank you to Nadia and Luis, until next time. Cheers!

My 5 weeks at the hostel were incredible. The hostel is across the road from the beach and provides lots of nice spaces to hang out and chill. Nádia is the loveliest person you will ever meet, she is so kind and caring and makes you feel very welcome and at home! Luis creates a fun energy at the hostel and is always a source of entertainment - watch out for his pranks! The work at the hostel is mostly chill and straightforward, sometimes helping out with breakfast then a few hours cleaning and housekeeping a day, then you'll have the afternoon to explore and surf. I'll be back!

We can't recommend this volunteering experience enough! We had an incredible time at the hostel. Nadia and Luis are both so kind and welcoming. The work is respected and not too hard. The place itself is just amazing, the ocean, the surf culture, the beautiful sunsets…everything was simply perfect! Big thanks also to the other volunteers who made our stay even more special. It was truly hard to say goodbye, and we really hope to come back soon! Obrigado!🫶🏻🫶🏻

I agree with every positive review written here!:D What made this volunteer experience incredible is that Nádia and Louis genuinely care about the volunteers' experience and are truly kind people in general. They created an atmosphere where I felt comfortable from the very beginning. The work was manageable, and the volunteer rooms were nice. I met five lovely volunteers <3, along with many other wonderful guests and locals. I really enjoyed the small, relaxed town, the ocean, and surfing ☀️. These five weeks will stay with me forever. Thank you for everything, Blanka

Volunteering at the hostel was a very special experience for me - the people I met, sunsets, surf sessions, and even the more relaxed moments at the hostel will always have a place in my heart. Thank you Blanka and John, you guys were the best <3 Nádia and Luis are truly wonderful people - kind, caring, and with seemingly inexhaustible patience. I will miss them both. Communication on the work was always clear and the working times were respected. The surrounding beaches are beautiful (esp Praia dos Frades!) Lots of love, obrigada por tudo :) Mitti

Right - twas a wonderful experience. Surfing is great, volunteers were very social and the hosts were incredible, especially nadia who helped me practice my Spanish. Surfing can be a challenge as it is a 40 min ish bike ride but there's so much to do around. Cannot reccomend this enough. Hope to see you all soon. Much ta, John

While the hostel was just outside of the bigger town, I still had such a good time just hanging out with the other volunteers/guests, going on adventures and enjoying the beach. Build some extra budget for Uber/Bolt, but the volunteer bikes were also fine to cycle into town. Nadia and Luis were awesome and really made me feel welcome. The work is as written, but easy enough and you still do have most of your day. Honestly, for a first time world packer, I don't know how it could've gone better :) Also, the sunsets are amazing!!!

This was an amazing month spend in a very quiet (in may) place. The beach is right infornt of the hostel. The work depends on the amount of guests but very easy & quick. It is not very sociable town so keep that in mind. To surf for beginners you have to bike or uber (or hitchhike - very easy) to another beach in peniche or baleal.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. Nadia is the best host you could wish for and I made a lot of amazing memories with the other volunteers. The hostel is right next to the beach which is ideal for watching the sunset and beach days. The work is easy and the hours depend on how many guests there are, but it was usually done in around 2 hours. It's also a good place to learn how to surf. I would absolutely recommend this experience and can't wait to be back! Thank you to the people who made this time unforgettable:)

Volunteering at the hostel is amazing if you want to improve your surf skills , if you like calm , nature and relax time it's the place to be. The working hours are respected and honestly it's a very easy work , you just have to clean houses which is super easy and don't take more than 3 hours a day. The host are very kind , Nadia is the sweetest person ever, she will be here for you anytime and for anything ! Because the hostel is a quiet town , just be prepared that uber is going to be your best friend. So mind the expense to go visit around.
