Mi primer voluntariado y ha sido de las mejores experiencias de mi vida. El equipo es maravilloso, me hicieron sentir como en casa. Las instalaciones acogedoras y muy limpias. Respecto a las tareas eran sencillas y estaban bien organizadas, respetando siempre el horario acordado. Así que pude disfrutar de la ciudad y recorrer cada rincón, Edimburgo es una ciudad mágica. Me voy con el corazón lleno de recuerdos inolvidables y personas realmente increíbles. Gracias Edinburgh Backpackers, gracia staff😭❤️

My experience was the best. Merche, Sara, and Sergio are amazing people, always looking out for each of us, which makes the work environment even better. The job is easy and calm, and the best part is that we work as a team, making everything more enjoyable.

Without a doubt, this has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Plus, I had the opportunity to explore Edinburgh, a fascinating city full of history and culture, which made this experience even more special. I’m going to miss them so much—I truly felt like it was my second home.

Honestly I didn’t know what to expect but volunteering at Edinburgh Backpackers Hostel really set my standards high. My team was composed of about 15 people. The managers are always keeping an eye on us which is good because all the volunteers behaved. Personally, I met some of the most amazing people; I used to eat and hang out with them.
Finally, the position of the hostel is ideal and there is plenty of things to do in the city.
I’m lucky to have been there!
