The Experience

The hostel is a family business, a factory for friendships, as I usually call it, and has a very relaxed atmosphere, located in a fantastic spot with excellent beaches! It's a small hostel with 11 rooms and a maximum capacity of 30 people. We offer to stay in a shared room and breakfast at this little paradise, in exchange for 4h of daily help with daily tasks ( there is no day off since you have half the day off ). Contact us ;)!!

I would highly recommend this place from every perspective. The experience was even better than I expected. The work was enjoyable, and there was plenty of free time for surfing and other fun activities. We also had a great time together with the other volunteers and created many memorable experiences. The atmosphere at the hostel was welcoming, which made the whole volunteering experience even more rewarding.

I had an amazing time in the hostel! the work was really fair and clearly communicated. the work started at around 11 and depending on how many guest checked out, lasted for 2-3 hours. that felt really fair and afterwards we had enough time to surf and explore. with the bikes provided, it's easy to get to peniche to surf or grocery shop. i had a great group of volunteers (there's always 4) and they made the time unforgettable. thank you, i will be back :))

I absolutely loved my stay at the hostel. The work was as described and never felt overwhelming. Even tho we were a little bit more remote that never was a problem with the bicycles. The Hosts Nádia and Luis are great and always fair. The hostel felt more like a guest house but social non the less. I can only recommend it for anyone :)

I couldn't have imagined a better first volunteering experience! Portugal's natural beauty, the other volunteers and the hostel made my stay truly unique. The daily work was very reasonable, usually taking only 2–3 hours. Since volunteers are the only staff besides the owners, good teamwork is important. Nádia and Luis are very friendly and communicate well. The cosy rooms, beautiful surroundings and nearby sea make it perfect to unwind. There's always something going on in the evenings. I highly recommend the hostel to anyone wanting to experience the surfer lifestyle in Portugal

As this was my very first volunteering experience, I was a bit curious about how it would go, but everything turned out exactly as described beforehand! The daily routine mainly involved cleaning the rooms and houses, but thanks to how well-organized and structured everything was, the work was always relaxed and manageable. Nádia and Luis are fantastic hosts who create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend staying here!
