I had a great time at the hostel. The hostel itself feels very clean and professional, the team were all very welcoming too. The tasks were overall as described, as were the hours. I worked reception and did the same hours everyday, which allowed for most of the afternoon and evening to enjoy exploring the beautiful Algarve. The only potential downside was occasionally having to check guests in outside of work hours if they arrived late, but I was happy to do this. Overall, I have a lot of respect for Ana and the business she is running. Thank you for having me! :)

I want to thank Ana, her family, and the permanent staff for the amazing experience I had with the hostel—it truly felt like a home away from home. Ana is a fantastic host, respectful of work hours, and often let us finish early a few days a week. She gave great tips on what to do in the Algarve and made sure we had what we needed. Volunteers get a weekly grocery budget, so you can cook your own meals. The shared space was cozy but had all the essentials. I already miss the other volunteers and staff. This was my first Worldpackers experience, and it has set the bar high. Obrigada!

I spent 6 weeks at the hostel working in the cafe and really enjoyed it, the hours were as listed, the staff is lovely (honorable mention to Cleiton, the permanent staff in the cafe, he is so kind, patient, respectful and really cared for us all!) Ana was a great host, and really took us in as her own! She would always give recommendations, as well as invite us along to hangout with her friends! Ana is very understanding and as long as you can communicate anything you may think could be improved she is always right on it!! Truly a beautiful place with lovely people!

Fue mi primer experiencia como voluntaria y no podría haber elegido mejor. Pude aprender mucho sobre cafetería ya que era mi primera vez trabajando en un brunch, Ana & Cleiton hicieron que la experiencia fuera muy divertida! Portimão es una ciudad hermosa y muy tranquila, cerca de distintas ciudades y playas increíbles. En el verano suele haber muchos festejos por lo que pude sumergirme en la cultura local. Conocí personas increíbles que hicieron de este voluntariado una experiencia única. Obrigado familia el hostel <3

This was my first volunteering experience, and I absolutely loved my time at the hostel – I couldn't recommend it more! Anna, her dad, and all the permanent staff are just so lovely – you really feel like part of the team. The work was well-balanced, the hours were good, and I genuinely enjoyed the job. Anna always kept us in the loop about local events, gave great recommendations, and even took us along to some really fun activities in nearby towns. I would go back in a heartbeat. The other girls I volunteered with quickly became like family, which made the experience even more special <3

No hay palabras para describir lo bien que lo pase haha Ana es la mejor! Desde el momento uno ella y el equipo me hicieron sentir bienvenida! Estoy muy feliz de haber tenido la oportunidad de ser una más del equipo. Las tareas son sencillas y Ana siempre está ahí para ayudarte con lo que necesites y guiarte. Mayormente estyve ayudando con la reparación y haciendo un poco contenido para redes sociales. Las instalaciones son practicamente nuevas, los voluntarios tenemos baño y cocina privada. Muchas gracias! Recomiendo el hostel 100%!

I stayed at the hostel & restaurant for 4 weeks. I had an amazing time. Ana helped me alot and is very fun. The hours and work is fair. Because i was there in the low season it was a bit too quite for me but the coworkers are very kind! The place is 45 min from the beach and 1 min from the centrum.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel! It was such a great experience especially being hands-on in the restaurant and getting to learn more about Portuguese culture! Hours were fair and explained and allowed for much time to explore Portimão and surrounding areas as well! I recommend this stay to other volunteers and hope to visit again!

I had an amazing time at the hostel! You get a bed in a shared dorm with up to 6 other volunteers, with your own kitchen and bathroom, and you get given breakfast food to make yourself, and every morning you get lunch and dinner and can eat it whenever you like, and the food was amazing! All the permanant staff are friendly and kind, and the work is very easy to pick up. Portimao is a great city to explore the algarve, and you can do overnight trips on your days off. I made amazing friends with the other volunteers and had the best time :) Thank you Anna and Cleiton (and everyone else) :) xx

I had such an amazing time at the hostel!! :)) The communication with Ana was great, hours as agreed and the work not too difficult. The restaurant was quite calm because of low season. The other staff was absolutely lovely. I am now certified to give weather reports in full Portugese thanks to Cleiton and Carla haha :) The volunteers had their own kitchen, showers and toilet which was amazing. Carla's food is delicious and will be severly missed. There was enough free time to explore the Algarve with all the volunteers. We were even lucky enough to be there for Ana's birthday!! Obrigada! :)
