I had an amazing time working at this hostel.
Everybody welcomed me really well and made me feel really comfortable. I was there for a month, and time just flew by! I had a lot of free time and work was nice and easy. I got to spend time with the guests which was great!
I wish I could have stayed longer.... But I now feel I have a home in Lisbon :)

This was my first Workaway experience ever and it was such an amazing trip!!!

I've only stayed one month in Lisbon but I loved every single day of my journey and it truly broke my heart to leave this place and the hostel itself. The staff was so friendly, cool, interesting, open-minded and funny! I met wonderful people with who (I hope), I will… read more still be in touch after this experience! The fact that we all eat together for lunch and dinner makes it easier to get to know each other. This huge feeling of community that you experiment clearly enhances your stay. I arrived in the beginning of October and two days after, I already felt like I belonged in the team. I think I can leave, knowing that I can call some of the people I've met my friends :) The hostel itself is very charming, clean, and has such positive vibes! It's so chill and relaxed. The hostel life was truly a pleasure there.

The job itself isn't hard at all. It's really easygoing. I was working there in October; as a receptionist. My job was to welcome guests, do check in and check out, cancel/confirm bookings, answer emails/guests' requests, answering the work phone and helping the guests in general. As a person who really likes to be helpful; it was perfect for me. Everything was very organised and very clear. The training was easy because everything felt intuistic.

I actually discovered that I liked this kind of job, and I might keep doing reception work in the future. The thing that is really good is that you're never bored (because there are always guests to interact with, things to do on the computer, emails to answer, people's requests to fulfill, etc...). But at the same time, it's really not an exhausting job. You will not be too tired at the end of your day. You will have plenty of energy to go out, visit the city, do whatever you want. Besides, the schedule was really good. People either worked in the morning/afternoon, or afternoon/evening. That way, you could always go enjoy the city when you're not working. There are enough days off to even go on a trip to other cities such as Porto. I had the chance to visit Sintra, Cascais and Cabo da Roca (thanks to this schedule).

The manager I had, Nathan, really did an amazing job training me. He was patient, understanding, pedagogical, with me. He explained everything pretty well to me, and whenever I had a question or doubt about something; I could always ring him/text him and he would always answer (even at midnight when I was struggling with my cashier, ahah). So, relax, you will never be alone. Someone's always gonna be there to help you if you need.

It was my first time using Workaway and I have absolutely no regret. I'm glad it turned out like that and I would do it again in a second! Lisbon is a breathtaking, amazing, and colorful city. I'm so happy I got the chance to travel there. The job was really pleasant. The staff became like a family. So, yes... Would recommend it 100%.
