The Experience
Housekeeping! We need help with cleaning and reception tasks. The traveler must help 6 hours a day, 2 days free. The shifts will be scheduled mainly on weekends (9am to 7pm), totaling 30 hours/week. We also accept if volunteers wish to organize their own activities, as long as they fit in with the spirit of the hostel. We have a very relaxed, zen and welcoming atmosphere and we are not a party hostel.

It's even difficult where to start, my experience at the hostel was incredible and there couldn't be a better place to start this worldpackers adventure. Daiana and Dona Ivete are very nice people and welcomed me like family, the schedules were always respected and not at all difficult, the hostel is in a very central area, so after work you can still explore Porto which is one of the best cities that I've ever been. Eternal gratitude for everything I experienced there, I will carry them forever in my memories :)

I really don't know how to describe it, because Daiana and Dona Ivete are exceptional human beings. Tasks are very well divided and communicated, breaks are well planned and there is always flexibility for both parties obviously. You feel at home and the feeling of "ownership" and care that we have developed for the hostel goes beyond volunteering. I connected with many travelers, and several languages making my experience go to a higher level, I was able to learn and teach my own language too. About the location, there is no better!

I practiced my English and Spanish and met great people! Daiana and her mother are committed people and ensure that everything is always clean, orderly and working. I learned a lot. During the period of volunteering I made some suggestions, which were accepted, however some of my tasks and schedules were suddenly changed. I just believe it would be good have someone doing the night shift, because after the end of our shift and the departure of the owners, the volunteers become responsible for noise control, cooking and guest issues, even If we had worked all day.

I really enjoyed working at the hostel. I improved my englsih and portuguesee too. The hostel is super tidy, and everyone who works there try to keep it like that. My shift was respected, and also my meals. The hostel is near to town, so after my shift i used to go to one of the brigde. I worked as front desk and this is the dutty that i enjoyed more (speaking in three different languajes, receving guest from all world, working with different website plataform to rent a room). Also i worked as a housekeeper making beds. Unfortunatelly, the time flyes so, my month there, was fast.

Working at the hostel was a very good experience! The main task is to work at the reception and usually it's very chill. Sometimes I had to help cleaning but there was always another person to help me and the time schedule is very good. Louise is a great manager and friend that I was lucky to meet. I would recommend the hostel to everyone who wants to have a great experience in Porto! (:
