Really loved the other volunteers, the staff and the city. Was a very nice time with a lot of fun and i met amazing people. The work was most of the time chill only sometimes a bit chaotic because they had not enough laundry for the beds. Also, you don't get a lot of free food and the organization could be better in some places. Overall still a lovely experience. I miss you all <3

My time at the hostel was amazing! The team is just incredible, they are fun to hang around, and we normally went out together. The volunteer's room is super comfortable, there's space for everyone and your things. Also, the hostel is cleaned several times a day which is a big plus. The kitchen is spacious and volunteers have their own pantry and fridge, and there are several showers and toilets. The work was fine, though sometimes felt disorganized, which could hassle the flow while doing your tasks. Luckily the team there were always helpful and things got adressed.

I had a great time in Lisbon. The other Volunteers truly made this experience great they were wonderful and very welcoming ❤️. I had a good time working with the receptionists, big shoutout to Marcus! The location of the Hostel is excellent and the room was a good size for 8 people. I was on the day shifts so it was 3 days on and 2 1/2 days off as you start working at 5pm on the third day. Some days the work is harder than others, you could have 15 beds to change one day and the next 70 so it varies. It is an average of 25 hrs a week so one week you may be working 30hrs. Overall I had fun!

My experience at the hostel was made so great by the awesome team they have and the wonderful volunteers that I met. I met such a diverse group of people that all made me feel so welcomed and included and I loved working with the staff during my time at the hostel. The receptionists were also super lovely and I'm so grateful to have made so many new friendships. I would recommend that new volunteers be aware that the "3 days off" that is agreed means 72 hours off. So this means that you usually finish at 5pm on your 3rd day, have 2 full days off, and then start again at 5pm on the 3rd day.

As it was my first experience, I wasn't sure what to expect. When I arrived everyone in the team made me feel welcome. The room was nice, you share it with all the other volunteers. The work was mostly good, the check-ins are fun because you get to know the guests and talk to them while you show them to their room. Making the beds could get really exhausting, especially if you have to make a lot of beds. We didn't get the full 3 days of, we got 72 hours of which does make a difference. Overall it was a great time and it was really nice to meet so many new people from all over the world.

This was my first Worldpackers opportunity, so I didn't know what to expect. While not entirely perfect, the volunteers I worked alongside really shaped my experience. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by absolutely incredible people, and that was the highlight of this entire thing. Ale was amazing and receptive to any questions I had. In terms of workload, the shifts were 4 or 8 hours and scheduling/time off had not been explained in specific detail prior. I think it left volunteers with less time to plan short trips or explore Lisbon than expected.

This was my first time volunteering at a hostel and it was a good experience! The work itself is quite simple and well organised. As a host Izzy is amazing since he really cares about the whole staff and accommodates to everyones needs as best as possible. The days off are enough to get to know Lisbon or travel around Portugal!

I had a super time at UGH! The staff and volunteers are very friendly, and it's easy to make friends. Generally, the work is straightforward and easy enough, dayshifts can sometimes be quite physically tiring, especially as the hostel gets busier with summer. Izzy is a great host, he's very approachable if you have any issues and will always listen and accommodate you as best he can. The staff room was recently moved into a larger dorm, which is amazing but had previously been quite small to fit 8 people. You will have such a special experience if you volunteer here <3

I had a great time at the hostel and met some amazing people! The work is fairly easy and Izzy is very accommodating and understanding. One strong point of this hostel is the hosts communication with the volunteers and weekly meetings that ensures things are running smoothly. One area of improvement would be the room for the volunteers, which is small and because there is no common area it can feel squished. Nevertheless I would recommend this experience!
