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

This was my first experience as a volunteer throw the Worldpackers, and I couldn't have chosen a better place to start! the guest house is a very nice place to stay, the accommodation is very confy and breakfast is delicious! The work done there was simple and fair, mostly cleaning the rooms, common areas, making the breakfast and staying in the reception. Luis - the owner, is very gentle and is always worried about how we are feeling and does everything to help us when we need. Inka - the manager, is extremely lovely and is always around to support us. I do recommend the place a lot!

I want to say that I highly recommend it! Even it was my first time to volunteer abroad, They gave me amazing experiences while staying! Luis is really generous, nice! I was working at the hostel and the farm. Working is so easy for me and I could get a lot of time to travel :D All volunteers I met here are so good, nice.. We had different languages but we tried our best to communicate❤️ I will never forget the memories I made here. I would like to come back again next time I come to Lisbon🥹🌈💖

My experience at this guesthouse in Lisbon had both positive and negative aspects. Communication was smooth, and I felt very welcome from the start. I received clear training for my tasks, the work schedule was well organized, and the workload was fair and you had lot of free time. However, I experienced some issues with the maintenance of the place and with how certain problems were addressed. Unfortunately, I decided to end my stay early due to an ongoing bed bug issue (and because how it was handled) at the guest house.

The guest house feels like home! Inca and Luis always do their best to make everyone feel comfortable and happy and even help adjust the schedule to the needs and lives of the volunteers. You work very little hours and have a lot of free time to enjoy beautiful Lisbon. The volunteers make it so it feels like a little community! You will share a room and bathroom with one other volunteer, which is a total dream situation. Highly recommend this place to anyone :)

My best volunteer experience so far! the guest house facilities are really nice for the volunteers, Luis truly care about it . I had a good bedroom shared with just one more person and a private bathroom. The worked hours and the tasks are respected, and Inca from the staff team is so adorable. I strong recommend the guest house.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
