I had an amazing experience while being a volunteer here! All the activities were as described and the schedule is well divided, so I had plenty of time to explore Lisbon, especially because of the perf location of the hostel. The volunteers room was also a high point, but the best part was definitely the staff. The hostel team is amazing, they're really kind, always doing their best to try to make us feel at home. Special shoutout to the receptionists, bar keepers and Rosa. Also, Magda, who's in charge of the volunteers, is really sweet and flexible, which is really helpful during our stay.

This experience was possibly the most memorable of my entire life. I met the most incredible people and had so much fun the entire way. The staff is fantastic, the other volunteers are universally amazing, and the city is so beautiful and enjoyable. As my first volunteering experience, it couldn't have gone better. I even extended an extra week! I 100% recommend this to anyone looking to volunteer somewhere.

This was truly the best experience I have ever had, I now have best friends scattered all across the world as well as just in Lisbon! The hostel is impeccably clean and beautiful, the volunteer room was ideal and the work itself was very reasonable with a very fair and balanced schedule between us all. Magda was an absolute pleasure to work for and all the other staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I can genuinely say I have a second family with the hostel crew now, I can't recommend this experience enough!

I really enjoyed staying at Lisbon the hostel!The vibe of the hostel is great and everyone was really welcoming and friendly and made it extremely easy for me to feel at home!Tasks (which included changing beds, helping at reception and preparing breakfast) and work hours were fair, the location is perfect to explore the city and every week there are some fun events. My experience here was what I was looking for and more, I got to meet so many people from all over the world, made some amazing friends and got to know Lisbon. I miss this special place and the amazing staff and volunteers!

My time at Lisbon the hostel was absolutely some of the best weeks of my life. The stuff and volunteers were so amazing and welcoming, and the social vibe of the hostel allowed me to meet and connect with people from all over the world. I extended my stay as I wanted to spend as much time as I could there. I am so thankful to have been apart of the family here!

Had a great time. Everyone is ridiculously friendly and made me feel very welcome! I enjoyed the tasks and whilst there are lots of beds it was a fun challenge. Lots of offers to compensate for the work which was nice. There were loads of events that were really fun- especially the rooftop parties! There is also a pub crawl that can be done for free but I thought it wasn't great and preferred to go out with volunteers. The location is amazing and you could get to the beach in around 30 minutes. The rooms are shared between three volunteers and can get quite hot but I liked the room!

I've absolutely adored the time I've spent here for the last 6 weeks. I stayed at sunset the hostel and i had the absolute best time. Both hostels are really central, making it easy to get everywhere. The work hours were fair and gave me plenty of time to explore Lisbon. I didn't really meet or communicate with anyone from management until 3 weeks in, I didn't find this to be a massive issue but worth mentioning. This experience was everything I was looking for, I felt so at home and i was so so sad to leave. I've made the most beautiful friends here and I can't wait to come back xx

Thank you for your feedback, Emily!
The management tries to stay as close as possible to all staff and encourages you not to be "afraid" to talk in any case, but it is important to refer that there's a lot going on between the 2 hostels which makes management have more workload in the office.
See you soon :)

This was my first time working in a hostel and I absolutely loved it, obviously there are tricky days/ aspects but it's the people you meet that make it worth it. Everyone was so goddam nice and I was sad to leave due to getting sick and not being able to fully enjoy the full month. Tasks were pretty good as were the hours, the cleaning ladies are always so lovely. It truly is a family not just from volunteers the staff as well are one in a million. Very much missing you guys and wish I could have stayed at least 2 weeks longer. ✨💛

My time at Sunset the hostel has been a great experience! The staff and the other volunteers were super kind and always there to help you and have fun together :) The working hours were fair and you get plenty of time to explore Lisbon. As the hostel is located right by the train station it is easy to get to the beaches around Lisbon. Thank you so much for this experience 🫶🏽

The hostel Lisbon was my first city hostel to volunteer in. It's a place between action and retreat. Playing the piano, chess and reading on a couch in the cozy common space. And then fun karaoke nights, a chess evening and free surfing lesson, drinking games, pub crawls and nights out, where you get to know so many people. You should expect to prepare a lot of beds in your bed shifts, which I personally found quite meditative and fell always within the agreed working hours. And the staff and volunteers brought such a nice vibe to the hostel. I hope to visit this place again in the future <3
