Working in a guesthouse was a new experience for me and I enjoyed it! The guesthouse is very tidy and clean. The working shifts are well-structured and “easy to work”. The hosts are very kind; whenever you need to take a short break you can take it. At times the communication was a bit difficult because not so many people speak English in the hostel. The room for the volunteers is very small and has now windows with fresh air or daylight. Sometimes it's noisy as well because the room is next to the kitchen. When I left the guesthouse the hosts surprised me with a gift, thx😽

It was very nice to work for the three girls and it was a great first experience through worldpackers! Everything is organised and the work environment is very relaxed. My work ethic was always honored and they showed a lot of thankfulness. They always made sure that you feel comfortable during your stay. For example, they bought me biological eggs for my breakfast! I was so happy :) The hostel is relatively new, so you can do more projects besides from general cleaning and reception if you want to. I would definitely recommend to go there and help them to develop their hostel!

What a wonderful experience! First thing I'm gonna talk about are the hosts: they are very kind people, always patient and at your disposal. They divide the day into three shifts: morning (cleaning), afternoon (housekeeping) and evening (reception). The work atmosphere is very relaxed and during your stay you get the chance to do all the shifts and learn all the tasks. You share a room with other 3 people and it can be loud sometimes but besides that I really recommend the experience and also to visit Braga, a very nice and historic city.

The the guest house is very centrally located in the middle of Braga. Ana showed me the house, my bed, the bathroom and the kitchen. The contact with the other three volunteers was very good. There I was also able to ask what the rules were. Unfortunately, this information came from neither Ana nor Violetta. The working hours were regulated and adhered to. The work was handled well and was closely monitored. The conditions in the house were very difficult for me. No windows, fresh air or daylight in the volunteer room or kitchen and no place where you could hang out. The kitchen opposite
