Overall I had a really positive experience at the hostel. Portimão is a little too quiet for me but it's really central within the hostel region and great to reach other locations. The hostel itself is a little far from the beach, so if you come here be ready to uber a lot. The volunteers room is a little small but has everything you might need, and luckily I shared it with some awesome girls, who were definitely the highlight of my experience. The hostel and restaurant staff are also super lovely and available. I would totally recommend it!

The hostel was my first WPs and I had SUCH a lovely time! Ana was communicative and easy to contact. The room was cozy, and we had a few issues with making sure the space was clean/kitchen amenities were working, but Ana was helpful and accomodating our needs. I had never waitressed before, but the support staff is SO INCREDIBLE. It could get busy and stressful at times, and I could forsee it being more stressful in high season. However, the full time workers are awesome and the customers were always nice. Portimao was quiet, but the beaches are UNREAL. It's easy to travel to nearby towns towns too!

I had a great experience at the hostel! The hostel was really nice, and so were the people who worked there. The work was good, it did came with a bit more responsibility than I expected, but once I got the hang of it, everything went really well. The best part of my experience was definitely the other volunteers. We had so much fun together, made lots of great memories, and always found something fun to do. We really became a great group, which made the whole experience so much better. I'm really happy I got the chance to be part of it!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. Met friends that I'll keep for life, worked with amazing and caring people, practiced my english and even learnt some portuguese. Working at the restaurant is proper work, but it is so much fun and you get to meet lots of new people. It is great if you want to get more experience serving. I'd definitely recommend this volunteering if you want to explore the hostel, it is the most beautiful place. I will miss Cleiton, Anna, Leonela, James, José and Ezequiel ❤️

I thoroughly enjoyed my time volunteering at the hostel. I worked reception and I would say it takes about a week and a half to feel really confident in the job (there's just lots to learn!). If you enjoy making your own systems to stay organized, you'll love it! Schedules are given in advance so you can plan your two days off. Team apartment is very small but workable if you stay clean and organized. Overall, I would recommend volunteering here if you're interested in exploring the hostel, meeting new friends, and experiencing what it's like to work in Portugal. Thanks for everything Ana!
