I've been volunteering for a while and I honestly can't tell you how much this has been one of the best places I've ever volunteered at Chris is amazing learned so much from her and we had so many wonderful conversations about different topics. We shared food languages and experiences and every moment was a chance to learn something new! She also made us feel at home! The tasks were easy to manage and the four hours of volunteering went by smoothly leaving us with the rest of the day free to enjoy and explore. A big thank you to the entire team. Everyone was wonderful! ❤️

It was a wonderful experience. I stayed for one month, and the working hours and days were always respected. In addition, the people who work there are very kind and willing to teach you. The hostel is pleasant and surrounded by nature.

From the beginning, everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and I felt comfortable right away. The work was fair and mainly included breakfast, reception, and changing beds. Sometimes my sister and I had different shifts, so we did not spend much time together, but the team always tried to help us have free days together.
The town is very cute with nice cafés, and the beaches are beautiful, even if they are a bit difficult to reach. Overall, I had a great time, met amazing people, and would definitely come back. Thank you to the whole team!

I really enjoyed my time at this hostel and felt very welcome from the first day. The team was very warm, helpful, and fun to work with, which made the 4-hour shifts always pass very quickly. The work and schedules were fair, and we always felt respected and comfortable.
The room was simple but cozy, although there was a bit of humidity. The beaches are a little far away, but they are absolutely beautiful and definitely worth visiting. I'm very grateful for this experience, for all the lovely moments with the staff, and for making us feel at home. I would happily come back!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel during my first Worldpackers experience. The team welcomed me warmly, respected the working hours, and adjusted my shifts when I wanted to go surfing. The team is relaxed and kind. The volunteer room is small but well equipped, including a private bathroom. Many hikers from around the world stay there, so you meet interesting people, and it becomes pleasantly quiet after 10 pm. The surrounding nature is beautiful and perfect for hiking, and the beach is about a two-hour walk away. I will really miss the team and recommend this hostel to anyone❤️

I had wonderful time in Aljezur. It's a small town with great hiking trails to the ocean and along the coastline. The beaches are amazing, and the views are simply breathtaking. I will always remember my volunteering experience here very well. The staff is amazing — Chris is so kind and helpful and Teresa is such cute and warm person. I met wonderful people and made beautiful memories that I will cherish for a long time. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

The hostel was really amazing! Tasks were super easy and the place was so comfy. Located in a small village, which is super cute. There are a lot of things to do in the nature and you can even hike to the beach. We are thankful for all the welcoming people we met there!

If you want a very slow and relaxing and quiet visit this is a great place to be. It a small town and its mostly hikers who stay one night, so its quite hard to make friends. We just went to the beach which is gorgeous but you need to take some sort of transport seings its quite far. I was traveling sith my gf and you dont always work the same time as eachother. Usually its just a 2 hour difference but sometimes one worked morning and one evening. You also have to do preperation work everynight for breakfast which did not count in as you're working hours. The nature is however stunning!

I had a nice time in Aljezur! 🐳Pema and Kabita are very sweet cleaning people! The other team is also very nice, but can be harsh/demanding sometimes! The workload was okay, but very different to the other volunteer. I had to work early in the morning: doing breakfast, then clean & making beds. The other volunteer was working in the afternoon, doing reception which was just checking few people in. So the workload of each position was not very fair managed. Also, it was hard for me to get to know people, because there were only guests staying for one night. The volunteer room is noisy & moldy

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
