Such an amazing experience at this hostel and met a lot of great people. The management & staff are so friendly and really made me feel like part of the team. Tomar is my favorite location in Portugal. The town has plenty of cafes/restaurants, cute shops, and an interesting castle to visit. The job responsibilities are a fair exchange for the accommodation that I received. I really recommend it, it was the best experience I've ever had.

It was my first volunteering and it was great, a cozy place and multicultural environment of great learning if you want to strengthen your English, Margarida, Alexandra and Louis are super nice, they always help with the tasks that need to be completed, too bad they won't be there anymore. Sonia and Renato (the bosses) they are also very nice, only Renato likes to joke that you are the slave of the hostel "just to make laugh others"💀he almost never goes there, but just to let you know. Tomar is a very cozy little city that is full of history. Well connect with whole Portugal. Obrigado!

This was my first experience as a volunteer and I loved it! Tomar is a very nice and cute city. The tasks were easy and fair, you have a lot of free time once you're done. The hostel is cozy and you can find everything you need. Special thanks to Margarida, Luis and Mathilde for making feel welcome and part of the team!

I don't even know there to begin. It was my first volunteering experience and it was great. Before coming to Tomar Sónia told me about the festival called “Festa dos Tabuleiros” and that I would be mindblown…what can I say I was mindblown. I felt like I was in a movie. The tasks were feasible but also fun because you never work alone. I'm very thankful for Margarida, Luis, Sónia and Mathilde, they made my stay very special and I will really miss them. I cannot put into words how they made everything so much more fun and interesting and I will always remember the great time I had in Tomar.

Well - distributed workload, food is served early on, no pressure with the tasks, and helpful co workers. Everything makes this hostel a good choice for a volunteer. Staff speak English proficiently but also other languages - Portuguese, French, Spanish. So if you want to learn there are many opportunities
