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!🌞

Volunteering at Lisbon the hostel 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.

I loved the experience and truly appreciated how kind and supportive the staff was throughout. During my volunteering, I met some amazing people and learned so much about the local language and culture. The staff was always friendly and patient, taking the time to explain tasks whenever someone needed help. This trip has taught me a lot, and I'm incredibly thankful for all the wonderful people I had the chance to meet along the way<3
