Very nice experience at Tomar with Renato and the team! Confortable and clean hostel, the tasks were very simple and some days were just a few because of the start of the low season of tourists. I totally recomended this experience. Obrigado!!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I had an amazing stay in Tomar! The staff is so welcoming and really make you feel at home! The work is easy and as described. Tomar is a very cute, small medieval town with lots of cafes and restaurants. The hours make it possible to do some nearby day trips as well as going to explore further places in Portugal on your days off! Big thanks to Sónia, Renato, Carlos, and Alexandra! ❤️

Such an amazing experience at this hostel and met a lot of great people. The management & staff are so friendly and really made me feel like part of the team. Tomar is my favorite location in Portugal. The town has plenty of cafes/restaurants, cute shops, and an interesting castle to visit. The job responsibilities are a fair exchange for the accommodation that I received. I really recommend it, it was the best experience I've ever had.

It was my first volunteering and it was great, a cozy place and multicultural environment of great learning if you want to strengthen your English, Margarida, Alexandra and Louis are super nice, they always help with the tasks that need to be completed, too bad they won't be there anymore. Sonia and Renato (the bosses) they are also very nice, only Renato likes to joke that you are the slave of the hostel "just to make laugh others"💀he almost never goes there, but just to let you know. Tomar is a very cozy little city that is full of history. Well connect with whole Portugal. Obrigado!

The hostel is cozy and you can find everything you need. Special thanks to Margarida, Luis and Mathilde for making feel welcome and part of the team!
