The hostel was my first experience with wordpackers and volunteering. the work was totally fair, even if it was sometimes a lot. i felt very comfortable with everything and liked the atmosphere in the hostel. I met the most inspiring and nicest people and was able to improve my English very well. The hostel is very centrally located right next to the metro and was also perfectly connected to other hostels. However, the sheets were often too small, which sometimes took a lot time. Thank you everyone!! :))

The work hours are always respected (there is enough time to explore lisbon as well), the main staff team shows and explains the tasks and helps you out if there is something needed. Sometimes, I had the impression that some staff members don't really care about volunteers + are not very patient if you do something for the first time. I would definitely claim that you get used to the work after some shifts already; sometimes it's just a little hard because of working in two hostels. It's the same tasks in general, but it still takes longer to actually get used to the shifts.

It was a nice first experience, the volunteers coordinators are very nice and understanding. The hours are exactly as they had stated and the work that had to be done was not too hard. It was also very great to be able to stay in the other hostels of the hostel group in Portugal. However the first shifts can be very complicated because some of the workers (especially in nomad) do not explain you the tasks and they are not clear at all about their expectations. This lead to a lot of remarks from their parts that were very condescending and not so respectful. So overall not great communication.

Overall it was a really good experience. I met a range of people from different places and the work was pretty chill - if you finished the required work you wouldn't have to work the full 5 hours. The bedrooms for the volunteers are quite cramped and dark, but you don't spend that much time there so not too much of an issue. The hostel itself is relatively quiet compared to other hostels I've been to, so don't expect a party hostel! I would recommend volunteering here :)

This was my first time volunteering and I really enjoyed it and can definitely recommend!! Lisbon is a beautiful city with so much to do and hostel is in a good location. I met many amazing people at the hostel and had a lot fun spending time with them and going out together. The work was pretty easy and enjoyable but can also get a bit stressful at some days. The volunteers accommodation can get a bit cramped and messy at times but are fine otherwise.

It was truly an experience volunteering at this hostel. The people are amazing, both the staff and the other volunteers. Everybody was keen on getting to know each other and it made the whole experience even better. I ended up staying for 2 months instead of 1 because it was such an amazing experience! I will mention, that there was some general management problems where us volunteers simply stood with too much work and responsibility without action being taken from management. But it worked out in the end. It's still a nice place though, just don't be afraid to voice your opinions.
