I had the chance to stay at both the hostel and the hostel Porto Covo, and honestly, my experience was really good at both. I would definitely recommend them! They have very different vibes, which makes each place special in its own way. Everything at the hostel was perfect thanks to David. Ireally enjoyed my stay and had no complaints at all. The only thing I would improve at the hostel Porto Covo would be the organization, as I felt there was a little room for improvement in that aspect. Overall, I had a great experience at both and would definitely recommend checking them out!

I really enjoyed my time at the hostel. The people were amazing and so welcoming. As my responsibilities were reception and social activities I got to meet so many different, interesting people. There were a few small blips in communication between housekeeping, but all was resolved in a professional and caring way. The town is so relaxing, and the vibe of the hostel definitely fits this. I definitely recommend working in the hostel! :)

Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing experience! The team I worked with became dear to me in no time and I already miss them! I had the opportunity to practice Portuguese and help them practice English! The hostel was clean, friendly, and fun. I met several guests who said it was the nicest hostel they'd ever been to. This was my first experience at a hostel so I have nothing to compare it to, but I could absolutely understand why so many people said this! This place is a little slice of heaven on earth - I wouldn't change a thing about my experience!

I absolutely loved my time at the hostel! I fell in love with the village and had a great time with the team. Some days seem like long days but the workload is not too much. Valeriia is so accommodating and cares for the volunteers. If you have any questions, please reach out!

I had an amazing month at the hostel working in the restaurant. The town is small but nice and just by the beach, so it was perfect for a month. The people working in both the hostel and the restaurant are all really nice.

I've been in the hostel for a month and it's been an amazing experience. Our team was perfect, we made a really great connection between volunteers. Also Valeriia was really nice, she's helpful, caring and she knows how to do literally everything. It's the ideal experience to meet new people from all over the world. The only thing was the length of the shifts, but the jobs were pretty easy to get used to. Communication with some members of the restaurant staff was sometimes a problem. In the complex very great experience, I entirely recommend it and I'll bring with me the memory🫶🏻

The hostel is a big family in which I took part since from the first day. The staff are all amazing people and I couldn't ask for a better view, the work shift could be boring depending on the hours but there's always someone to be with. The vibes are incredible and there I saw the best sunset of my life. All togheter was 9.5/10 just for some misunderstanding we had with the house the volunteer were in, but they are committed to make it right. I now have friends from all over the world and I can call that place home because I know I can go back whenever I want🫂❤️

Irene’s volunteer work was excellent. She showed great dedication, responsibility, and a positive attitude throughout, making a real difference. Her commitment and enthusiasm were truly inspiring.
She will always have a special place in our heart. She's really special.
Thank you for everything, Irene!

Spending a month volunteering in the hostel was such a great experience! I loved the cute little town, the amazing nature around, and meeting some really nice people along the way. Valeriia is super kind and always there to help out whenever something unexpected happened at reception. Just a small note: the hostel could benefit from having more staff during high season. Also, the restaurant manager's mood was a little inconsistent at times. But overall, I had a really good time and it's an experience I'll definitely remember!

The hostel in Vila Nova de the hostel ✨ This was my first volunteering experience through Worldpackers and I couldn't ask for a better one. Work was easy but little bit more responsible and unpredictable that I thought it would be but after few shifts I get used to it. We had so much free time to go surfing or to go on some trips. My manager Valeriia was so helpful and respectful what I appreciated so much! I felt in love so easily with this small magical village, so it was so hard to left this place after month. This is not the last time I've been here. I am so looking forward to come back soon. ❤️

The host told me that the hostel in the hostel was full and offered me to volunteer at Porto Covo, I accepted but the staff house is not nice. You live in a flat 5 minute walking, in a shared room with 8 people total. The bathroom is shared with two other rooms, it is in the worst conditions. Besides that, the experience was beyond amazing! The staff was really nice, very welcoming and were very patient while I was adapting. The tasks are easy, and have lots of free time, I went to the beach and traveled around! I recommend this place if you want to travel, meet people and have fun!
