The experience in the hostel couldn't be better, the vibe in this place is amazing! João, Marta and the other volunteers are incredibly nice, I felt at home all the time. The work schedule is very flexible and gives time to explore the city and surroundings, to meet people and enjoy the beautiful Porto. I feel very lucky to have found this place. Next week I'll be back as a guest haha Thanks for everything and see you soon!

Fue una experiencia increíble! Desde el primer día, el anfitrión y todo el equipo de trabajadores fueron muy amables, atentos y siempre dispuestos a ayudar en todo lo que necesité. Te hacen sentir como en casa desde el primer momento. Además, contar con habitación privada hizo que la estancia fuera súper cómoda y tranquila para descansar después de cada jornada. El ambiente de trabajo es muy positivo, la convivencia con los demás es genial y la organización fue impecable. Recomiendo este voluntariado al 100% a cualquiera que busque una gran experiencia.

(Estou disponível a responder qualquer dúvida sobre a experiência antes de você ir ) Mas não posso recomendar esse anfitrião . O combinado seria eu ficar 2 meses , mas fiquei no máximo 2 semanas e tive que sair . E a outra voluntária do Chile ficou apenas uma semana e também saiu. Contei o suporte WP para saída imediata e falar sobre a experiência e sai por conta própria no mesmo dia , porque nada doque é dito em entrevista está de acordo com a real experiência. O anfitrião tem muito a melhorar em relação ao jeito que trata os voluntários , foi uma experiência difícil .

Eu adorei voluntariar no hostel! Além de todas as pessoas serem super gentis e acolhedoras, os horários são extremamente flexíveis. As instalações do hostel são incríveis, limpas e confortáveis, inclusive o quarto destinado aos voluntários. Os voluntários são tratados com muito respeito e carinho, e tive a oportunidade de praticar inglês e espanhol o tempo todo. Saio dessa experiência com o desejo de aprender francês também!
