We are really glad we took her in. Everything that was required from her she did without complaining and did a great job. If there was something to improve we told her and she was always willing to do so. Another thing that was really important for us is that she worked in our team really well. After a few days she just saw the things that were to do and helped out where she could, even though we did not tell her to do so. She was friendly and helpful towards her fellow volunteers and always lent a helping hand. She could also connect well to the guest and created a friendly atmosphere.

My experience at the hostel was AMAAAZING! I recommend it 100% All the staff is so friendly, polite, respectful and patient. The hours of work are fair, the team is always open to answer your questions and help you. One of the most interesting things was the devotion time. I've learned a lot. Even if I'm not a big fan of Amsterdam, being here was my best Worldpackers experience so far and by now! I'm really thankful for what I've learned from each of you. Thank you for everything Deborah, Miriam & Achim! ♥

I'mJapanese, live in Tokyo. I met Karii in a certain place in Tokyo in 2023, where Japanese could study foreign language with native speakers. She was working there for Japanese who wanted to talk with Spanish speakers. She always greeted us with a smile, despite de her job being difficult. Because each Japanese there had different level de Spanish, there were beginners,too. I understood the difficulties that Karii faced. She had to control her words for beginners. But she could adjust her talking to their level. She continued her conversations patiently with them until they fully understand. And presented us interest topics to encaurage us to speak with fun. She is flexible and treats everyone equally. I was impressed by her performance. We could learn Spanish with fun thanks to her.
