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!

It was an incredible experience! From the first day, the host and the entire team of staff were very kind, attentive, and always willing to help with anything I needed. They make you feel at home from the very first moment. Moreover, having a private room made the stay super comfortable and peaceful to rest after each day. The work environment is very positive, getting along with others is great, and the organization was impeccable. I would 100% recommend this volunteering opportunity to anyone seeking a great experience.

(I'm available to answer any questions about the experience before you go )

But I can't recommend this host.
The plan was for me to stay 2 months, but I stayed at most 2 weeks and had to leave.
And the other volunteer from Chile stayed only a week and also left.

I contacted WP support for immediate departure and to discuss the experience, and I left on my own the same day, because nothing that was said in the interview matches the real experience.

The host has a lot to improve regarding the way he treats the volunteers; it was a difficult experience.

I loved volunteering at the hostel! Besides all the people being super kind and welcoming, the schedules are extremely flexible. The hostel facilities are amazing, clean and comfortable, including the room designated for volunteers. The volunteers are treated with a lot of respect and affection, and I had the opportunity to practice English and Spanish all the time. I leave this experience with the desire to learn French as well!
