I had an amazing experience volunteering at JJ's the hostel! I absolutely loved being part of the Lagos community for over a month. It was such a special experience, full of great memories, wonderful people, and unforgettable moments. Jay is an incredible host who made me feel at home from day one. I couldn't have asked for a better volunteering experience! I enjoyed every single moment, and I'm already looking forward to coming back next year. Thank you, JJ's the hostel, for making this chapter of my journey so memorable! ❤️

LEGENDARY!! Not only was the work extremely reasonable, I was treated like family and met other volunteers who will be my friends for life. The owner, jay, was extremely accommodating. He even got me other actual job opportunities for if I decide to stay here in Lagos permanently. By day 3 I knew so many people, I never felt bored. Just had to leave the hostel to run into friends and find plans. I absolutely adore the hostel and I will be back next season to do it all again. Thank you jay for the wonderful time, I will always love Lagos. Come volunteer here if you love a good time!!!

I had an amazing time volunteering at JJ's the hostel. The place felt like a second home and a big family. The atmosphere was always warm and welcoming. I got to know both locals and people from all around the world, which made the experience really special. The work was relaxed and well organized, with plenty of free time to explore beautiful Lagos. The pub crawls were so much fun! Huge thanks to Jay, who was always ready to help and made everyone feel included. I was honestly sad to leave and I really want to come back one day. If you like partying and meeting new people, this place is for you!💘

Such a fun time!!!! I really love everyone i got the chance to meet and engage with, from the local community, other volunteers and the travelers in the hostel. The work was pretty relaxed, and definitely a far trade for what we got as volunteers. It was a 10/10, Pub crawls are great fun, the activities we got to do were amazing, and Jay was welcoming, and warm. I would go back and recommend it to anyone who likes to party 🥳

I had the BEST time at the hostel. Truly the best volunteering experience and Lagos is incredible! I was so sad to leave. The tasks are easy and on the first day you work morning shift with some cleaning, you have the afternoon off and then you work evening and do the pub crawl. Second day you work the afternoon and do check ins. Third day is off and then it repeats. Thank you for everything Jay and see you very very very soon!!😍
