My two months in Lisbon were truly amazing! I met so many wonderful people and had the chance to improve not only my language skills, but also on a personal and professional level. It was a great experience that I’ll always carry with me.

I spent 5 weeks volunteering at Sunset Destination, and overall I enjoyed the experience. The schedules are made so that volunteers have consecutive days off to explore Lisbon or visit other places, which was nice. The volunteers get a lot of perks as well which is nice, although I wish we were told about it upfront, as I missed out on some that I would've really have liked to do.
The shifts are fine, beds I think could be divided between two volunteers, as sometimes I'd have more than 25 beds to do in 4 hours.
The volunteer room takes some getting used to, there wasn't any AC or windows.

Thank you for your feedback, Saya!
We'd just like to mention that the perks are the first thing we mention when we reply to your applications, and that the rules for the beds shifts are 20 beds in 4h - if you finish it before the shift ends, then you continue. However, management and receptionists were always available to help in case you had any doubts!
Regarding the AC, after you asked us, we placed AC units at the rooms.
See you soon!

Sunset and Lisbon Destination Hostel felt like home to me during this month! The staff carefully showed me what I had to do; the shifts always ended at the scheduled time, and everything was very simple and manageable. I had fun at the reception! I met people from all over the world, and the location of both hostels made life in Lisbon even easier. Even though my night-time arrival wasn’t the best- my bed wasn’t made and the receptionist didn’t know where I was supposed to sleep- once I got to know the staff and the other volunteers better, I lived the experience with enthusiasm and joy!

Thank you for your feedback, Marta, and apologies for the situation you mentioned! We would just like to point out that the management was always available for you to talk about these kind of stuff and we are only hearing about this now :/

It was my best Worldpackers experience so far. Everyone on the team was super kind and open. The hostel is perfectly located. The tasks were simple and there was plenty of free time. I’m really grateful for everyone I met during my time at Sunset Hostel. Can truly recommend it!🌞

Volunteering at Lisbon Destination was a good experience! The hostel is in good condition and the hours were respected. There was also some flexibility to trade shifts with the other volunteers if needed. There are 4 different shifts, breakfast, beds, and two reception shifts. The breakfast and bed shifts could sometimes be challenging for one person, but the staff were usually willing to help out.
