TwinFin Cafe/ 9nine lives hostel

Lagos Portugal is a great place to be! Help 5 hours a day, 5 days a week then go explore the stunning beaches! Learn to surf and paddle board with our friends, find a quiet place to do yoga and eat at all the amazing restaurants! We have a close knit atmosphere here, where staff and guests are all family.

I have owned both businesses for about 4 years now. The volunteers I look for are outgoing, like meeting new people, making new friends, and learning about different cultures. Everyone is like a big family here; Including the guests! Get ready to make some life long friends!

The work at Twin fin was super fun, you get to work in a nice team in a super nice environment and Lagos has a lot to offer ! Got the chance to do surf lessons as well, which I recommend to do !!
You’ll work as a waiter/waitress, the job is super accessible and you get to practice your English since you’ll work with an English speaking team and most guests are English speakers as well.
The only thing that made me drop a star on the review was the accommodation, unfortunately we’ve had problems during our time there which made the whole experience less appreciable.

Brad is a welcoming, caring host, and the international restaurant team was very friendly. I met people easily and hung out after shifts. Hours and tasks matched the listing, and training was supportive. The staff meal was good though repetitive. You will not be trained as a coffee barista, so if that is your main goal, this is not the place to go. Lagos is great for beaches, hiking, and surfing. The main/only drawback is the volunteer house: run-down and moldy, with many appliances broken, no door locks, bugs, and unreliable Wi-Fi. Awesome role and people, but housing needs a major upgrade.

Thanks for the kind words about our team, training, and the overall experience — we’re glad you enjoyed Lagos.

Portugal is very humid in the wet season, and mold is common in housing. During your stay, the house was being repainted and repaired, we arranged paid external accommodation

Door keys are available, though some volunteers choose not to carry them.

The Wi-Fi modem was accidentally damaged by a volunteer; while awaiting replacement, we provided unlimited data SIMs

I had a great time in Lagos. Working at Twin Fin cafe was easy (especially being off season in november) and also very enjoyable and laid back thanks to the friendly staff there! The work was mainly as a waiter, since there is a fixed barista for that position. I was also able to get a discount with a surf school which is a plus. I do have to mention the accommodation needs upgrading especially the lack of a working washing machine but workarounds were set in place for this with some communication. Brad the owner was just a chill guy but being more proactive wouldn't hurt ;)

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!
