It was my first experience with Worldpackers and it was perfect. Situated in the historic centre of Lisbon, the hostel was the perfect base to explore the city, in one of the most bustling neighbourhoods of the city. The volunteers have a mini apartment at the top of the hostel that has all amenities. The job was easy and smooth, absolutely no extra work was required and the shifts are super reasonable. You have two consecutive days off , but most importantly Joao and Luis are amazing managers, always available to help and genuinely wanted us to feel at ease . Totally recommend!

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience. I spent one month there working at the reception. The job was very easy, it's 5 hours, 5 days per week. Joao, the owner, is super nice, and he is always one message away to help you. What is great about the hostel is that the volunteers share a big apartment with a private bathroom, kitchen, closet, and living room. If you are thinking about volunteering in Lisboa, I would absolutely recommend the hostel.

Great experience and place! The hostel's location is perfect, and the volunteer's room is comfortable and shared with only girls. The work itself is super easy and the working hours respected. João and Luís are always super nice and making sure that we're having a good time.

I absolutely loved my time here! João and Luís made me feel very welcome and I met some amazing people who I hope to stay in touch with. The location of the hostel is very nice, and there is an small apartment just for the volunteers which is really nice and comfortable. The tasks are very easy and there is always someone available to help. Thank you for everything! :)

Volunteering at the hostel was an absolutely amazing experience! The hostel's location is perfect, and the tasks were fun and easy, especially during the extra season. Joao and Luis are fantastic hosts who made me feel so welcome and constantly made sure we have everything we need in the volunteers' apartment. I met so many incredible people, created strong bonds, and immersed myself deeply in the local culture. The memories I've made are priceless, and I can't wait to come back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!🫶🏼
