My experience with the guest house & NineLives was an I retesting one. What made it a good one was mostly other volunteers. Bradley, however nice, can be hard to communicate with effectively. Living conditions were subpar, with things breaking constantly and taking weeks to be fixed. The work was easy and the hours were respected. I didn't get to work in the cafe at all, so cannot comment on it. All in all, I did have a good time, but definitely set your expectations accordingly when coming here. I think the new hostel manager will really help improve the experience for next volunteers!

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We greatly value the insights provided. We're glad to hear that overall, your experience was positive, We take note of your observations.
We'd like to clarify a few points mentioned in your review. Firstly, accommodation for staff is a private property rental, living accommodation in our tourist town is hard to find and very costly this is why we rent a private property to accommodate our staff. All equipment and amenities are only used by stay and are contently upgraded. We're committed to ensuring our staff's comfort and well-being.
Additionally, it's important to highlight that damages to the living space plus wear and tear on equipment are often caused by staff members of necessitating repairs. We acknowledge the inconvenience this may cause to new staff members and are actively addressing these repairs despite the logistical challenges of a rural location presents which can make the repair process longer than what one might be accustomed.
Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to enhance the experience for all volunteers and staff members

Bradley is a really nice host! The experience is very laid back and chill. I stayed in the staff house instead of the hostel, it was about 10 mins walk away. The house doesn't lock but there are always people around and a cute dog named Zoe. The hours worked in the hostel were always respected. Jobs were to clean the beds, hostel and check guests in and out and general upkeep. Some of the facilities should be updated but I think once you go in with an open mind it's all very chill and laid back and you will have a really fun time in Lagos! Thanks for having me! 😊
