So grateful for my time at UGH. The staff, volunteers, and guests made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The shifts are reasonable, you get plenty of free time, and it genuinely doesn't feel like you're working (more like hosting 50 strangers at home). It definitely exceeded my expectations for my first solo trip❤️

Volunteering at the hostel was one of my best experiences! I had the chance to meet amazing people and live unforgettable moments in Lisbon. The schedules are respected, the work is easygoing, and the accommodation is excellent.All the people were amazing, both the staff and the volunteers who were with me. Everyone was very welcoming and made me feel at home. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore lisbon because the location is simply perfect for this.

My time at the hostel was incredible! I had a lot of fun and got to meet tons of people I wouldn't have the opportunity to meet anywhere else- both other volunteers and guests. The work is very manageable and you get tons of time to explore Lisbon and socialize. If you are looking for a quality volunteering experience, stay at the hostel.

I had the best time volunteering at the hostel for a month, between the volunteers, staff and the guests everyone was so welcoming and I made amazing new friends. I really felt like Lisbon and the hostel became home for a short time. The location is so good (with a great bar round the corner😉) and it's so easy to get to miradouros and the tourist sites on your many days off! Lisbon is a beautiful city and I know anyone would be happy to spend their time at the hostel :)
