I had an amazing experience in the hostel and in Lisbon! I quickly felt welcome in the team and got on well with everyone fast. We also regularly did things together in our free time, which I really appreciated. One point I have to be honest about is that i expected more food for the volunteers and that should be considered depending on the budget you have available. Nevertheless, I can recommend everyone to gain experience in the hostel! Thank you guys for everything <3

Thank you so much UGH! this was my first world packers experience and it was amazing. i would recommend this to anyone, from first time volunteers to regular volunteers. Thank you to Izzy, Ale, Marcus, Kessya and all the volunteers for making this experience a 10/10. The hostel is clean and in a great location. The shifts are straightforward and very easy to get the hang of. I would definitely come again and it is going to be very hard to say goodbye!!! Obrigado! ❤️

Was so nice I did it twice :) This time I did Night Shift (2 nights on, 4 nights off) and was able to study while doing so. Thank you to the UGH team I'll miss everyone dearly and hope to come back in the future 🫶

My time at UGH was amazing. As soon as I arrived I felt immediately welcomed by the other volunteers and the staff as well. My only problem was the food they provide: it is not enough for all the volunteers, so if you are traveling on a budget like me, this is a factor to count with. Overall my priority was the atmosphere of the place and the connections I was able to make, so I left with nothing but good memories and I would absolutely return in the future. Thank you so much for this experience UGH Team!❤️❤️

Thank you the hostel for the experience! I did find the work to be physically demanding even during low season. We made around 30 beds per shift, but it is 40-50 beds during peak season. There is another building down the street that we had to walk to multiple times during a shift. The posting says 25h/week and 3 days off per week, but the hours are sometimes more, up to 30 hours, and it is often 2 days off per week not 3. I wish the hostel+team the absolute best! I met some really amazing people and still had a good time overall. Thank you again <3
