The Experience

This shift can be during the evening or night. It's mostly to give a warm welcoming to our guests! We count with your help to receive payments that we are not able to do during day time. There are always small tasks to do in case we don't have arrivals or when you are waiting for guests to arrive! Like laundry and cleaning the common areas. Can we count on you to help us make the difference? :)

I had an amazing experience volunteering here, the hostel has a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the work is straightforward and well organized and i got to meet so many great people from different countries. The schedule also gave me enough free time to explore São Miguel and enjoy the beautiful Azores. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to meet new people, experience hostel life, improve their social skills and explore the island in a different way, it was my first volunteering experience and i couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you to the whole team

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel Worlds Hostel. The hostel was clean, everything was well organized, and the work was enjoyable. Even with the work shifts, there was plenty of time to explore the island, meet new people, and get to know the local culture. Carolina and Marcelo are very friendly and always willing to listen and help with any questions or concerns. The island is beautiful and offers a great variety of things to see and do. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I would definitely recommend to others.
