I had a really great time at Sunset the hostel in Lisbon! I met so many amazing people, and the atmosphere was always friendly and welcoming. The staff were all kind, and I felt very comfortable during my stay. The tasks were definitely manageable, and there was plenty of free time to enjoy the city. A special shoutout to Epi, who always made the guests feel welcome, and treated everyone with kindness. I would definitely love to come back again in the future, and I can highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience in Lisbon!

I had an amazing experience doing volunteer work. It was truly rewarding, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I got to meet incredible people, learn new things, and contribute to something meaningful. It felt great to be part of a team working towards a good cause, and I loved the positive energy around me. Overall, I had a wonderful time, and I would definitely do it again in the future!

I've spend a month in Lisbon the hostel and it was a great experience. The location of the hostel is perfect and there's always something to do in Lisbon. The work is what I expected and I had plenty of free time, so it was perfect to visit a little bit the country. The people who work there are super great and if you want to practice different languages is the perfect place. The only thing that wasn't great is that the hostel is big and people usually stay just for a few days, so it's not really easy to make some friends, but it still possible.

It was amazing!! It was my first experience and it couldn't have been better. The work I had to do was easy and exactly what was agreed on.everyone is super welcoming and I felt at home from the minute I arrived. I have met the most amazing people and had a lot of free time to explore the city. Also I had several days free in a row wich allowed me to travel and visit other cities that I really enjoyed. Overall it is a great experience and opportunity and I would 100% recommend. Thank you the hostel

I had a great month at the hostel, and would 100% recommend trying it out! The staff is genuinely so nice and welcoming, and the working hours felt very light. It was the perfect amount of work to get both free time but also insights and experience with the tasks. It's a very social hostel and you feel welcomed the second you arrive. It was my first experience with worldpackers and I'm so glad I did it because I learned a lot and made friends for life. Thank you!

People make the place — during the five weeks of my stay, I had the opportunity to be a volunteer for the first time in a country I've never been to before and the country itself, the culture, the job and the people I met were beyond my expectations 🩷 My time here was very well spent and pretty much worth it, so I just want to thank all the volunteers and staff for making this place (and my experience) so so amazing and fun!! i'm looking forward coming back to this hostel, to Portugal and specially in the future, reuniting with the friends i've made during this time thank you sunset! :)

I had a wonderful time in Lisbon. The hostel was a really welcoming and cozy place and of course it was great to enjoy my meals on the roof top in the sun, looking at the river. 🌞 I had a lot of fun with the receptionists and other volunteers. 🫶 Since it's only 20h of work, there was plenty of time to explore Lisbon and the surrounding. I highly recommend and would love to be back soon!! :)

I spent 5 weeks volunteering at Sunset the hostel, and overall I enjoyed the experience. The schedules are made so that volunteers have consecutive days off to explore Lisbon or visit other places, which was nice. The volunteers get a lot of perks as well which is nice, although I wish we were told about it upfront, as I missed out on some that I would've really have liked to do. The shifts are fine, beds I think could be divided between two volunteers, as sometimes I'd have more than 25 beds to do in 4 hours. The volunteer room takes some getting used to, there wasn't any AC or windows.

Thank you for your feedback, Saya!
We'd just like to mention that the perks are the first thing we mention when we reply to your applications, and that the rules for the beds shifts are 20 beds in 4h - if you finish it before the shift ends, then you continue. However, management and receptionists were always available to help in case you had any doubts!
Regarding the AC, after you asked us, we placed AC units at the rooms.
See you soon!

It was a rough start- reception was kinda rude and far from welcoming. The bed was dirty, and the volunteer room was insanely dirty, humid, and had no ventilation (one window that doesn't open). Magda kindly let me stay in guest dorms for a week, which helped. Work was ok-reception and breakfast were easy, bed shifts were tough. Double shifts had no breaks (8hrs). The rooftop was great, and after week 1, things improved, you make friends and the staff warm up to you lol. I overall enjoyed the experience. Advice for first timers: request a video call, read reviews, and talk to past volunteers!

Hi Imogen,
We're very sorry you felt that way. We'll make sure the themes are addressed.
If only some of this feedback got to us earlier, we could've clarified some aspects. For ex, volunteers are more than allowed to have a bigger break between double shifts, whether it's to eat or to have a quick shower after the beds shift.
We didn't have the chance to review your performance but we'd have given you 5⭐ because the feedback was always very good.
Hope to see you soon!
Magda
