17partyhostel

Working across two hostels in Lagos, you will be located in the center of Lagos within walking distance to amazing beaches, bars and restaurants. We have a well equipped kitchen, quality bathrooms and an outdoor area shared with guests. We are a social hostel that engages with our guests.

My name is Tommy, I am the owner of "The 17 Hostel" and "The Macarena beach hostel" as well, for 8 years. I am looking for volunteers to assist with daily tasks at the hostel such as cleaning bathrooms, kitchen and bedrooms, as well as checking guests in to the hostel. You will be in a team of 6 volunteers that are like family. We look forward to seeing your application :)

Mi experiencia haciendo voluntariado en el hostel Macarena fue increible!
Desde el primer momento me sentí bienvenida y como en casa.
Tommy es muy generoso y siempre tiene una energía muy linda.

Las tareas son muy sencillas y tenes mucho tiempo libre para conocer la ciudad que es hermosa y conocer gente!

Obrigada por tanto, Tommy.

I had a great time in Lagos, Tommy was nice, I had great colleagues and the hostel is well located.
You work in shifts at the reception (11–12, 15–18, or 18–21). Every day from 12–15, you clean the WHOLE hostel, but often you finish earlier. You’re not just helping, you’re running the place!!
You sleep with four people in a tiny storage room-> no space, no lockers, no real windows. I’d definitely ask for a picture of the room! The blankets are never changed and there are only two toilets for the whole hostel.
Despite all that, I still had a good time :)

I loved my month in Lagos! Tommy is such an amazing host and the macarena feels like a home away from home!!! You have more than enough time to explore Lagos and immerse yourself in nature.

Our time at the Macarena was truly the best month of our lives. Lagos is absolutely stunning and you're never short on a good time.
Tommy is by far one of the best hosts out there! super welcoming and accommodating.
The hostel has super great facilities and is well kept.
If you ever have the chance to volunteer here I couldn't recommend it more. You will definitely fall in love right away!

Honest review:I've done two positions at hostels before this one and loved them
Tommy expects you to be on the clock even when you are not on your shift. The whole hostel is run by volunteers, no staff - and he expects everything to be super professional.
Duvet covers don't get replaced-so every customer sleeps in covers 3-4 weeks old
Tommy might seem nice but he is very superficial and sometimes screams and threatens to have you fired and kick you out if you don't work properly
Please be careful who you decide to work with. Lagos is an amazing city - you will end up meeting great ppl!

Okay, you stayed in my hostel for 4 weeks, and you were simply the worst volunteer who ever passed through my hostel. You were always late for your shift to start, you would ask to do a task, and the task was not done. I had to repeat the same thing 3 or 4 times, and there was always an excuse that something happened. Do not blame your responsibilities on the hostel owner when your work is not done. This job is to be a volunteer, and with responsibilities for sure. NO, you did not come here on v
