Help at our hostel in sunny Lisbon, Portugal :)

This was my first Worldpackers opportunity, so I didn't know what to expect. While not entirely perfect, the volunteers I worked alongside really shaped my experience. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by absolutely incredible people, and that was the highlight of this entire thing. Ale was amazing and receptive to any questions I had. In terms of workload, the shifts were 4 or 8 hours and scheduling/time off had not been explained in specific detail prior. I think it left volunteers with less time to plan short trips or explore Lisbon than expected.

This was my first time volunteering at a hostel and it was a good experience! The work itself is quite simple and well organised. As a host Izzy is amazing since he really cares about the whole staff and accommodates to everyones needs as best as possible. The days off are enough to get to know Lisbon or travel around Portugal!

I had a super time at UGH! The staff and volunteers are very friendly, and it's easy to make friends. Generally, the work is straightforward and easy enough, dayshifts can sometimes be quite physically tiring, especially as the hostel gets busier with summer. Izzy is a great host, he's very approachable if you have any issues and will always listen and accommodate you as best he can. The staff room was recently moved into a larger dorm, which is amazing but had previously been quite small to fit 8 people. You will have such a special experience if you volunteer here <3

I had a great time at the hostel and met some amazing people! The work is fairly easy and Izzy is very accommodating and understanding. One strong point of this hostel is the hosts communication with the volunteers and weekly meetings that ensures things are running smoothly. One area of improvement would be the room for the volunteers, which is small and because there is no common area it can feel squished. Nevertheless I would recommend this experience!

I had a great time at the hostel I can recommend this place especially for people who are doing world packers for the first time because you are never alone, you are in a group with 7 other volunteers and always have the opportunity to do group things. But not everything is perfect there especially the shared dorm is a mess. The room is to small for 8 people and there is mold at the wall and also is there always an big construction site that can be pretty loud and annoying. But all in all I had an great experience. Thanks for everything 🙏.

Overall, the hostel was a lovely place to work and chill. The staff where very friendly and helpful. When we requested something, the manager was very adaptable and respectful. Communication was good. The only thing that was not ideal was there was no private space to chill for volunteers, we had to be in the common area in the hostel, and when busy became difficult at times. The dorm was also quiet small for 8 people, but we managed with good communication. Overall, a good experience and I would recommend.

I had the best time at the hostel, it was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't have picked a better place to start my journey. As I traveled in off season the work was super chill and only three days a week which left me with plenty of time to explore Lisbon and surrounding areas. My co-volunteer's quickly became my close friends. The room is a little small for 8 people and lacks storage space, it is also very damp and a little dirty. But other than that the staff were all super friendly and has great communication. They listened and acted when we asked for something.

I enjoyed my stay at the hostel, mainly due to the other volunteers. A little thing is that, in my opinion, with the fixed shift from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., sometimes you don't have a chance to rest until 3 or 4 p.m. Also, during the winter, you don't get to enjoy much daylight outside of the hostel with this shift. Maybe incorporating a 30-minute rest time in between shift or, at the very least, not assigning this shift to new staff members would be great. During the low season, it's a calm hostel, so don't wait for a crowded one! The four days off were great :) Thank you for the opportunity!!

Fue la primera vez que realice voluntariado con worldpackers. Mi experiencia fue genial, las tareas eran fáciles y tenia mucho tiempo libre para disfrutar de la ciudad. El staff super agradable, siempre dispuestos a ayudar. Sin duda que lo repetiría.

This was my first experience with worldpackers and volunteering in general. I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel!! Izzy is a great host, the working hours are respected and fair. Especially the team of volunteers, employees and the guests made my stay unforgettable.
