RA Paraíso
Because the accommodation is excellent, very well located in the historic area of Lisbon, in a double room with a private bathroom, because the tasks are easy and accessible to everyone and because you will be warmly welcomed and treated in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
Our team is small, it's just me and Bárbara, me mainly handling reservations and promotion and Bárbara managing the internal operations of the space and the daily tasks. We will count on the support of one or two Worldpackers, depending on the flow and the need, who will be integrated as a family.

About the experience in: Lisboa, Portugal

My experience at the guest house was amazing!! It was my first volunteering experience and from the start I was treated very well by Luís and Val, who are incredible people, they explained the day-to-day functions very well and I felt very welcomed. The activities to be done at the guest house are calm and well explained. Additionally I made incredible friendships with the other volunteers. I could not have chosen a better place to start my volunteering. The facilities are great and the view from my room is simply perfect!! I am very grateful for everything I learned and developed in this volunteering.

My experience at the guest house was challenging overall. There were several issues with communication and organization, but the main concern was the living conditions. During my stay there were bed bugs issues affecting multiple people. There was no heat in the volunteer room and shower didn't maintain decent temperature, and at one point there was no water in the building. It felt as a very stressful and unstable environment. I tried to adapt and be flexible but it was very one sided, and in the end it didn't feel suitable to continue. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience.

We are sorry you didn't fit in here but you were not a easy person to deal with. I have the policy of not making reviews about volunteers when we are not able to reccommend them to other hosts, even because we were not able to classify your work here as you haven't made much beside the fact of your complains and bad relation with the rest of the staff.
That was the main cause I had to ask you to find another place and solution for your volunteer service. Wish you all the luck, Luís
