Loved getting to know fellow volunteers! Made lifelong friends and had insightful interactions with travelers - majority of those staying in the hostel were walking the Camino. Loved the location close to the beach and 10 euro surf lessons!

My stay at the hostel was exactly what I was looking for. I liked the variety of work tasks and same schedule for everyday 🙌 All workes and volunteers were awesome and I made very good friends🫶 Location is perfect as well, I like that its not in the center but also not so far away✨ I loved that I can go somewhere every day to explore new beautiful places around hostel or in Porto. You have enough time to go explore other cities and hike 🌿 Iam gonna miss everything about it honestly🥲 people, vegan food, yoga, surf, city. Definitely need to come back! Thank you so much for this opportunity💕

We are so sorry we didn’t manage to leave you a proper review before now — work has been absolutely crazy lately! But we couldn’t let more time pass without leaving you a little message.
You were such a beautiful part of our Oportocean family. Your kindness, your smile, your energy and all the little moments we shared will definitely be remembered.
We loved having you here, and knowing that you found what you were looking for with us makes us really happy.

This is a very nice hostel, much nicer than other hostels I've stayed in. The hostel staff are good people, and all of my fellow volunteers were good aswel. The work is consistent; 9am-2pm five days a week, and the tasks don't change. I appreciated the routine. The hostel is walking distance from the A metro, so you can get to Matosinhos beach or City Center Porto with ease. My favorite part of staying here was meeting people from around the world; other volunteers and guests aswel. Porto was my first stop in Europe and was life changing. Thank you for having me!

The hostel was a great place to stayy! We were many volunteers so everyday something fun happened and because the place is so close to the city, there was lots to do(for people under 25 theres a train ticket for 3€ for a whole month). The work was very chill, we enjoyed every second of it and everybodys always friendly and down for a talk! We will miss it so much😚
