I volunteered for a month at Lisbon the hostel and absolutely loved it! The staff at LDH is so amazing, everyone is so kind and welcoming to volunteers. It is a great community there. The shifts were reasonable, either doing reception, beds, or breakfast. They give you a lot of days off. Expect to work around 25 hours a week. The atmosphere is great there and the hostel is a very nice place to stay. I loved the location of the hostel, being right inside a train station is so cool. You don't hear any train station noise when you're inside, though! I highly recommend this host.

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.

Sunset and Lisbon the 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!

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!🌞
