The hostel was the cleanest and coziest I’ve been to on the west coast. The other travelers volunteering were friendly and sociable. The guests were often quite friendly as well. I had the opportunity to converse with locals to Australia as well as a good mix of international travelers. The host is welcoming and has helped offer insight and advice to backpacking around Australia. There is often free food available in the kitchen which is helpful when you’re low on $. 2 minute walk to the beach as well is very convenient! Would definitely come back if it aligns with my travels!

Pippa is a wonderful host that treats all her volunteers very well. As a first-time Worldpackers user, I felt safe as security, safety and comfort was paramount for the hostel. The work is manageable and clearly delineated, although the initial learning curve might be steep for someone new to housekeeping and to remember the meticulous steps in the system to keep this small, cozy hostel running and spotless. It is a good place to unwind and relax too as it feels homey. Thank you for hosting Pippa & team x

It was a good experience for me Pippa and her family were welcoming to me. The work is relatively simple, we had a task sheet to do during our hours once it was filled we were free to do what we wanted. On the other hand I think that this volunteering does not suit everyone because Pippa can be extremely strict regarding the rules of the establishment which could inconvenience some who would need more freedom.

Thank you Lea we loved having you with us, you did a great job. We have a high standard at our hostel, so all tasks need to meet the standard. This is not hard to do as we provide comprehnsive training, on quiet days, there is much less to that needs to be completed, so there is plenty of time to enjoy yourself either in the hostel with your new friends or out and about exploring the town and its surrounds or enjoying the beach.

Had a fantastic time at Geraldton Backpackers! Pippa, her husband, Ramona, and Alex were all incredibly welcoming and helpful.
The work itself was straightforward and easy to learn.
One suggestion: Due to the hystorical building conditions, a more detailed explanation of cleaning procedures or a quick final check at the end of each shift could be helpful to ensure everything is spotless.
Additionally, scheduling the weekly free day a few days in advance would be great for staff planning.
Overall, a wonderful experience! The hostel itself is fantastic, and I loved Geraldton. Hope to come back

Thank you for your feedback. Eleanora carried out her tasks very well, she was extremely capable and did not need extra training. We do however, give a very comprehensive training to volunteers and helpers, and have a working list for all helpers to assist them to carry out the tasks correctly, and to ensure nothing is missed.We do an inspection of all areas after all shifts, to ensure that all work has been competed. Eleanora would not have been aware of this as she always competed her work so well we never had to redo any areas that she had worked.

Staying with Pippa in Geraldton was amazing! She is super sweet and welcoming. I had no experience in housekeeping before but I was given thorough training in every task. Work normally begins at 9:30 and you are given a checklist of things to complete each day. The amount of tasks depend on how many guests left and how many people work that day. I worked 3-6 hours per day. The facilities are also very modern and clean. The kitchen has a lot of shared items (including spices). The hostel is well located with many stores, museums, restaurants and the beach nearby.
