I absolutely loved my time at 9ninelives! The team was amazing—especially Heather, who makes you feel at home from day one. The hostel is super social, and it's easy to make friends within minutes. The vibe is relaxed and fun, with lots of shared meals, rooftop hangs, and spontaneous adventures. The work is chill—some light housekeeping and reception duties, nothing too hard. It's the perfect place to connect, explore, and feel part of a little family. Highly recommend!

Me and my friend Lotta worked at the host Cafe for two weeks and had a great time. The entire staff is lovely and they were incredible patient teaching us all the different procedures and recipes. It felt very rewarding coming home after a hot and busy day, but it was all still very manageable. Time spend in Lagos is time well spent and we are both quite sad to leave after such a short time and hope to come back one day. We would recommend this volunteer opportunity to everyone who loves a lively city and interesting people. Nothing can quite compare…..

I worked as waitress/barista at the cafè. It was a great experience, the team was the highlight of the trip. The job and task are easy if you already have experience working in a cafè/ as a waitress. The living situation is fine for a stay of 1 month, more or less. Overall wuold defenetly reccomend to meet new people from all around the world
