I loved the opportunity of working at the hostel. It was my first experience as a volunteer and I can say it was amazing. All the staff members were really welcoming. Thank you again, Sónia, Joana, Fernando and Eutimo. I'll never forget all the funny moments we lived together. And I'm happy I could help you somehow. The tasks were simple and there was no room for feeling homesick. I hope I'll go back soon to visit you all. I recommend this hostel for those who want to know a different (and charming) city, help and make friends. This experience was one of a kind :)

I had an INCREDIBLE experience in Tomar and especially in the amazing Hostel2300Thomar! Sonia is a very sweet and friendly person with a lot of energy. She made me feel at home and received me with open arms :) All the rest of the team is also super kind. I had the pleasure to meet many pilgrims that are making their way to Santigo de Compostela, and I learned so much from each of them, which made me comprehend much better the meaning behind the way- Camino. Tomar is a special and magic town in the middle of Portugal. Thank you Tomar for all the fun and all the new friends :)

Here in Tomar I found a family , even if for only two weeks ; Sonia , Tania , Eutimo , Fernando and Joana made feel at home. The hostel was fantastic and full of interesting people from all over the world , especially pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela ! Thanks to them I started to speak Portuguese and discover this beautiful country ! Grazie Mille!

I found this place looking for a place in Portugal. Since my first contact with Sónia, I fell in love easily with Tomar and her Hostel. It is a kind of place that is much better than the pictures can show. I enjoyed to stay there during 30 days, the staff is really cool and I made friends for life. Sónia is full of energy, good ideias, she loves to travels and will inspires you to live and have fun. I had the best time that I couldn't even imagine. The city is amazing, there's always something going on. It's hard to leave, but I'm sure that I'll be back. Thank you for everything.

Renato is very kind and flexible, the hostel is comfortable, very well located and incredibly clean. The work is simple and the schedules were always respected. It was my first experience with Worldpackers and without a doubt I would repeat it.

I was very excited to embark on my first volunteering experience, but it didn’t last long. The breakfast was a complete disaster and the tasks I had to do were excessive since I had to do 100% of the cleaning of a large hostel. When I decided to leave the place, the host got upset, yelled at me, wouldn’t let me speak, insulted me, and even threatened to report me to the European Union, telling me I should go back to my country, and then hung up on me. I don’t recommend it. Besides, they only talked to me to tell me what tasks I was supposed to do.

I loved volunteering in Tomar. My fellow volunteers were super kind and flexible from the start. The cleaning tasks aren't difficult and they give you a lot of free time to explore. I could travel around Portugal and visit other cities. I also immersed myself in the local culture of Tomar, a city that has a lot to offer—from cultural offerings to nature and museums. I found a city that welcomes foreigners with open arms. This was my first volunteering experience and it definitely set the bar very high. I would recommend it 100%.
