Brad and the team were an absolute dream to spend time with. I adored my time there and was gutted to leave. Made me feel so welcome, was so patient and felt like a family. Hope to keep in touch and will definitely be back, obrigada 🩵

I had the best time at Twin Fin! The tasks were simple, all the staff are lovely and lagos is such a great place to stay. The only thing i would say is the accommodation could be improved but I would 100% recommend I had such a fun time here. The food is so good too!

I stayed at the host for 5 weeks and it was the most amazing month of my life. The hostel is cozy, welcoming, and perfectly located near the beach and nightlife of Lagos. I met so many incredible people, but the heart of this experience was Heather, the manager. She is extraordinary, full of kindness, wisdom, and energy. She never made work feel heavy, always respected the shifts, and made everyone feel at home. More than a manager, she became a true friend, someone I admire deeply. My experience was unforgettable thanks to Heather, and I hope to see her again somewhere in the world.

I could not have said it better, having Domenico gift us with his presence was exactly what the doctor ordered ;) He changed the whole energy of the place... and how magical it really was. He can make any situation better, I promise... One of the hardest goodbyes yet. I wish nothing but good things for this wonderful creature and I am certain that anyone who passes up a chance to meet this outstanding human, is an idiot.

I volunteered at Twin Fin Cafe for 1 month. Was a really good experience, i recommend it if you want to improve your english. The other volunteers and the Twin Fin staff were amazing and really kind with me. Even if the house situation could be better, it's very big and you can have plenty of space for you. Lagos is also in a good position and well connected to other cities nearby so you can easily discover your sorroundings

Had an amazing time working at twin fin. The team is very sweet and the work was fun, even though it could get a bit busy in the mornings, so I'd recommend to have some hospitality experience. The place we stayed at could definitely be improved, but the other volunteers that i stayed with, still made it feel like home. Lagos and the area around is very beautiful and there are lots of activities to do. Can't wait to come back!!
