I planned to stay for one month and ended up staying an extra 2 weeks because I had such a great time! The tasks are fair and simple: breakfast shift, making beds, and reception. The hours are respected and there is lots of free time to explore Lisbon. All the staff members are very friendly and it is also easy to make friends with guests or other volunteers because there are many social events. This was one of my favorite volunteering experiences I have done and I definitely recommend it!! :)

I can't even explain with words how great this month and a half has been. I recommend everyone to join Lisbon the hostel crew cause it'll become your family! I spent the best time ever, tasks were good, you have to be prepared to make maany beds but then you get used to it quickly:) if you're insecure, JUST GO!!

I spent a month with the hostel, and absolutely adored every second of my time. All members of the staff are the warmest most welcoming people. After just a few days, they all felt like family and the hostel, like a second home. I volunteered alongside 3 other girls in a shared dorm and we all had the best time together. The hours were very reasonable - sometimes you would have 16hrs a week and others 24 but this allowed for consecutive days off to explore the rest of lovely Portugal/stay in the other hostels. Overall, I cannot recommend this opportunity more! muito obrigado! <3

I had an amazing time here in Lisbon! This was my first Worldpackers experience and I'm so glad this was the first! I learnt so much about myself while being here it really was exactly what I was looking for! I felt such a strong sense of community here and never felt alone. The hours and tasks were very simple and respected. The beds shift can be challenging depending on how many beds you have to do that day, but there is support from others to help if needed. Overall I had such an unforgettable experience and I hope to go back one day!

I experienced a good month in SDH considering it was my first time volunteering. Altough i faced a tough time during my first week cause of loneliness, once i built relationship with the other female volunteers the things got better and better . Also the stuff , particularly Albano, Tee, Diana and Sonny, were incredible since they were very friendly and welcoming people. The shifts were meneageable, also some week you don't have even to do all the 20h, which you are supposed to do. I would recommend this hostel not only as a place for volunteer , but also for staying as a guest.

All the staff membrers was so nice and we had a lot of fun together. Reception was a lot of fun and João was an amazing coworker. The volunteers I worked with became my siblings and we really connected. To make the place better I would like to have a more professional schedule that follows the promises every week. And also be more understanding with sick days. But I would recommend it for a nice Lisbon visit.

Hi Selina,

Thank you for your feedback!
We are very surprised that you say the schedule did not follow the "promises" since we talked this through and we actually came to the conclusion that you had less shifts than you were supposed to! We are even more surprised with you saying we were not understanding with sick days as we never asked a volunteer to work when they are sick and we believe to follow up regularly on them. We are sorry you felt that way.

Good luck!
