I really loved this first experience with Worldpackers. On the first 2/3 days, the communication with the host wasn't 100% easy because she was out of town, but as soon as she came back, we met and she explained the expected work. Ana often gives a list of tasks, so it's easy to understand what to do. The workload is manageable, it's just enough to keep you busy in the morning, and you are off during the afternoon, so you can explore Praia da Luz. As for Praia da Luz, it is a cute small town, the beach is amazing. Thank you very much Ana (and Tata too) !!

Our experience was extremely disappointing. Communication with the host was almost nonexistent and we never met her in person upon arrival. The accommodation did not match the photos: it was a windowless basement with mold, dampness and unacceptable hygiene conditions. Despite raising our concerns, no solution was offered, and the host stopped responding forcing us to leave. We had to find and pay for alternative accommodation ourselves. This experience was far from the transparency, respect and collaboration that Worldpackers promotes.

After receiving several messages in which the arrival date and arrival time were changed. Sebastian (volunteer) kindly made himself available to welcome, and led the female volunteers to the room. Sebastian chose to stay 4 months under similar conditions. He has been a great support in maintenance tasks, as well as in preparing the space for the high season, after a very rainy winter.
The decision to leave was yours, after one to two hours of their arrival. We regret the frustrating experience.

The work is very easy and manageable. You are helping to clean the guest house and maintain the property. Luz is a cute town with a nice beach and Ana let us use her swimming pool which was lovely. Ana is very busy so contact before we arrived was slow but once we were there it was perfect. She always explains what needs to be done. The volunteer room has everything you need. Definitely recommend ☺️.

My experience was great! The apartment we stayed in was wonderful, with everything we needed and just 300 meters from a beautiful beach. There was nature all around, perfect for connecting with yourself. The tasks were as agreed, with lots of autonomy and freedom, requiring responsibility and organization. The host was very kind and helpful, and communication was always clear, which made everything easier.

Volunteering here was an unforgettable experience! The place where I stayed was beautiful, right by the beach and located in a calm, peaceful part of Luz. We were able to communicate clearly about schedules and tasks, which made everything smooth. Ana Paula was incredibly kind and helpful — always ready to give me great tips on what to see and visit. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity!

Juliet is an excellent person, with great organizational skills, responsible and very attentive. We had two or three brief conversations about how she could contribute. She delivered several high-quality videos that prove her productive and organized capacity. We really enjoyed Juliet's stay.

My experience at the guest house was excellent. The host was very kind and welcoming, always respecting work hours and days off. I spent two weeks staying in the garage and another two in the apartment. The internet in the garage was not very good, but in the apartment, it was great for working and studying. The tasks I performed, such as painting and cleaning, were easy to manage and fit well into my routine. The experience is just a 2-minute walk from the beach, which was amazing! I highly recommend this experience, especially for couples looking for a pleasant stay.
