The Experience

We are looking for someone that is really responsible and wants to learn how to manage a hostel. Your task will be at the reception so you need to welcome people ( a big smile) and understand about administration. Housekeeping will be part of your day but it is really easy. All you need is to keep our bathroom clean and our facilities organized =) .

I read a lot about the rooms, and thankfully during the weeks I stayed I slept where guests sleep. Amelia is love, super friendly and kind. I highly recommend her hostel—beautiful vibes and views, a gorgeous beach, and 10-minute walks. Rafa, the one who helps with cleaning, is a wonderful person; she helped me a lot, a fan of empowered women. Amelia is a woman who carries the whole hostel on her shoulders 💕

The hostel is a hostel with a very magical atmosphere, the administrator was very attentive to my comfort and the communication was super open, the hostel's owner makes you feel comfortable and welcome. Schedules are respected and the activities are as expected. The only thing they have to improve is the volunteers' room because now it has become damp and it is quite small, however I can't complain about that either because in the 15 days I only slept there 2 nights and the rest were in various vacant rooms of the hostel, that option is available whenever the hostel isn't full.

It was my first volunteering experience and I wholeheartedly recommend it. From the start I was warmly welcomed, I received constant attention from Ayelén (the person in charge) mainly when I was alone, and listened to when I needed it. I met beautiful people and shared with an incredible staff with whom I could connect. Besides that, the accommodation was comfortable and very practical, and Guarda is an ideal place to start volunteering as it is small but full of nature to explore. I take this experience home with me with great joy and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart

Meus dias na the hostel foram tranquilos, a the hostel é belíssima e o trabalho é conforme o combinado. O hostel possui espaços comuns muito aconchegantes e duas cozinhas equipadas, Aye é muito querida e gentil, está sempre a disposição para nos ajudar. Único ponto negativo é o quarto dos staff, pequeno e abafado, o quarto é para quatro voluntários, nós estávamos entre duas e mesmo assim foi desconfortável. Como primeiro voluntariado foi uma experiência foi positiva :)

The hostel has a lot of potential, the location is ideal, it has lovely common spaces and the hosts were always available. The hostel is beautiful but small, and the hostel the same; the volunteers' room can be crappy. To get to know the area for a short time and enjoy it I recommend it. Aye is the best, always attentive to problems, to giving instructions for the tasks, friendly and understanding.
