Tiago is a really nice host and always wants to make sure that you are having a good time. Everything was as described in the profile. I loved Lagos, it's a beautiful place!

1000/10 experience. Truly was life-changing. I desperately needed this new adventure. I have learned so much and met hundreds of amazing people in the charming city of Lagos. I was so so sad to depart. I had 0 experience in the hostel world, and now with great leadership, I feel like an expert at reception and housekeeping duties. Tiago, the owner/boss truly became a brother to me. At times there were very minor problems with guests and amongst our team, but they all were great learning experiences and teachable moments. Can't wait to return to Portugal to see them again soon!

Such a great experience! Tiago is a welcoming and supportive host, the work is relaxed and easy and the hostel is close to the main town, the beach and the cliffs. 10/10- I can definitely recommend!

Tiago was a great and fair host. He always was very attentive with guests. Realistic and flexible about the hours we worked. The only inconvenience in my stay was the room. It doesn't have the proper conditions to live in. He understand easily and offer a solution. I hope that next stays have that solved because for rest it was a centric and comfortable spot if you want to visit Lagos!

This was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have asked for better! Working in a hostel is such a great experience! I created friendships with people from all around the world. The work is very straight forward and Tiago is very fair and flexible with the working hours! Tiago was so welcoming and kind throughout my whole stay! Lagos is a special place and I hope to come back one day!
