Bath Backpackers

Come and volunteer at our hostel:
- If you like being part of a project: we've taken over a poorly-rated hostel and are working to lift it up quickly!
- We need people who love welcoming guests and creating a warm and friendly vibe.
- We need people with ideas: interior designers, welcome!
- If you are looking to be part of a great team (of ~10 volunteers).
- If you want to live in one of the most gorgeous cities in the UK.

- We won't make you work more than previously agreed. - We trust. - We involve volunteers in the decision process. - We laugh. - We try to be as accommodating as possible with the schedule (+ if you want to find a part-time job in town, we can help you). - We share!

The hostel is well located, many volunteers at the same time, you will make good friends! The work is very quiet, 18 hours a week a true volunteer! The city is young and busy!

What can i say? Bath Backpackers stands out as one of the most enriching environments I could have while traveling. The job is to connect with people every day, people who carry millions of stories, showing glimpses of a world you’re slowly deciphering. Kate and Aris have built this place into a little home, deeply involved in the hostel’s activities. Even with clear tasks, you never feel alone, surrounded by people willing to help. The sense of community, comfort, and unique rhythm make it the best volunteer experience I’ve had, a place I’d return to as a volunteer or guest. A safe place 💖

Could say that it was one of the best hostels I stayed as a volunteer. here I felt at home, and each person here was very special with me, I will keep everything with great care, Aris and Kate were incredible, always attentive to any eventuality, I can say that I want to return, and the activities were not difficult and also the staff was always willing to help, and also the flexibility if you wanted to do something just warn with precedents.

My experience at Bath Backpacker was absolutely amazing! This hostel truly feels like a home away from home. The working hours are well-structured and respected, and communication with the team is excellent. A heartfelt thank you to Kate and Aris for being such wonderful hosts and to Mari for being an outstanding manager.
This is a place where you can not only practice your English but also enjoy hikes, participate in fun activities at the hostel, and even learn some salsa!
Overall, I would highly recommend this place.
I’d love to come back someday—thank you so much for everything!

It’s home away from home. The owners, Aris and Kate, are incredibly kind and welcoming. They create such an engaging environment for travelers to thrive in. It’s difficult to get bored with weekly outings and celebrations, both of which volunteers are highly encouraged to participate in. The work is easily manageable and leaves a significant amount of free time to explore Bath and take short trips. It’s the perfect position for those seeking laughter, lifetime friendships, and endless opportunities to bond with other travelers. Thank you to the staff and volunteers for all amazing memories!
