The Experience

O Cascais Bay Hostel fica no centro da vila de Cascais perto de todas as praias. Queremos uma pessoa responsável, com carisma e que goste de se comunicar.

It was my first Worldpackers experience and was wonderful, from the lovely people I met (starting with Rafaela, who was incredibly kind and helpful) to all the guests who quickly became friends and family. The hostel's location is perfect, very close to the beach and the center. So there's never a dull moment. Housekeeping work certainly isn't for lazy people, but it's perfect for anyone eager to get things done and step out of their comfort zone. It's an experience I'll look back on with gratitude. Thank you, Rafaela and Rosangela! 💛

I had a great time in the hostel! It was my first experience with volunteering and it was absolutely amazing. Rafaela and her mom are great hosts and the workload is very simple and manageable. Would definitely recommend!

As my first trip overseas, I was nervous about being so far from home, but the hostel quickly became a home away from home. Rafaela is an amazing host who made everyone feel welcome, and it was easy to make close friends. The housekeeping work was fair and manageable, and the location just steps from the beach couldn't be better. I highly recommend the hostel, especially for first-time solo travelers.
