The Experience

The volunteer will be responsible for cleaning and tidying the bedrooms and common areas, welcoming guests at check-in, and preparing breakfast, preferably always with a smile and good spirits. I hope the volunteer works 5 hours per day, 5 days a week, on a rotating schedule, with the rest of the day free and two days off per week. We have no rigid rules and we maintain a healthy and cheerful atmosphere among everyone.

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

My time at the guest house was good. Luis is a kind and generous person. He is a laid pack host who is calm - Val takes care of scheduling and was helpful when I arrived and is a supportive person. Because I do not speak spanish/portugese there were some communication challenges The location very good.

I enjoyed my stay at the guest house really much. The Host Luis is very accommodating and Inca was so welcoming and always reachable for any question. I felt completely comfortable in my room, with my roommates and with the tasks. For me it was nice to have some responsibility and interact with the guests, so I could plan my day and manage my time schedule. Additionally, the hostel is good located. It feels more like a hotel, as the guests are older couples often, so you only connect with other volunteers, which was fine to me. Love Clara.

This experience was amazing, I wanted to stay more time but I already have a complete trip planned in Europe :(, so sad. The place is very good, task are clear since the beginning and are easy to do, I work just a few hours per week, that was amazing for me because I also work remotely so it gave me the time to travel, work and volunteering!!! The guest house is located also in Alfama and amazing neighborhood full of many things to do and close to the metro and train station! Thanks Luis for this opportunity ❤️✨!!! I will remember Lisboa forever

Thank you, the guest house, Luis and Inca, for this amazing welcome to Lisbon. It has been a pleasure to meet you. I learned a lot from these experiences, and connecting with the other volunteers was amazing. Having a warm croissant every morning was great, hehe best in town, that's what the guest will tell me hahaha
