Maria was attentive and always ask how I was doing. The work was easy and I was usually done early. I had to leave early due to personal issues but I would recommend the position to anyone who enjoys the beach and a quaint town experience!

This was my first worldpacking experience and it couldn't be any better! Lagos and the guest house is stunning and I enjoyed every single day of my stay. The work is very easy, it includes cleaning rooms, and washing and folding the laundry. The training was provided and well-explained, working hours were good. We sometimes finished early which gave us a chance to explore the area. Maria gave us some tips where to go and what to see. Maria is a wonderful host and made us feel like home. The accommodation was great and she provided us with towels and toiletries as well. Thank you for everything!

The experience as a volunteer at the guesthouse was very enriching. After an unpleasant experience, I arrived in the guest house and found a beautiful single room and direct contact with the host. Marie was very patient with my poor English, she always proposed alternatives and was open to suggestions. I had a bicycle at my disposal and the working hours were always respected, and sometimes they were shorter. I highly recommend the experience. Thank you for everything Marie!

It's was a very good experience here for me. We were cleaning the rooms and laundry; everything about the position was explained to me clearly in advance. I liked the accomodation, it was clean and comfortable. This is a great location in the guest house with lots to do and a good base to explore from. Everything is walking distance to the centre. She was a good host and trained me well to complete the tasks at hand.

Minha estadia ficou maior do que o esperado. Eu adorei a experiência. As tarefas são muito fáceis de serem executadas e eu realmente me senti acolhida e em casa por aqui. Lagos é uma cidade calma, com paisagens lindas e praias maravilhosas. Vivi a casa no melhor momento.
