We hate seeing good food go to waste! All our leftover food is donated to people in need while our lovely worms turn fruit and veggie scraps into nutritious fertilizer for our garden!

Our energy comes from renewable sources, we try to minimize its consumption. We compensate 100% of our CO2-emissions and we have a plan to achieve Carbon neutrality in 2030.

"The amazing staff at ImpactHouse, from the cooks to the front desk staff, were welcoming, kind, and all around great people to be surrounded by. It was amazing to see people from all different backgrounds get along so well in the hostel sharing countless meals and stories of each other's adventures."

"Only for those who are traveling in Portugal and do not only want to do conventional tourist staff but have a deeper experience and discover the country. The ImpacTrip initiative is simply amazing!"
Radek O.
"My volunteer experience in Portugal, delivered and facilitated by local social startup ImpacTrip, was incredibly positive - and indeed left a real impact on me too. The projects were meaningful and real, meaning they were truly geared towards addressing social problems present in the areas, and thus made us feel we were making a real contribution towards something."
Freddo M.
"I felt very privileged to be able to contribute something to the work that ImpacTrip are doing in Portugal. The people who work at this organization are really exceptionally friendly, helpful and energetic in showing visitors around their great city - cannot rate them highly enough."
