The Experience

We're looking for a handy person to work and stay at our canal-side hostel on the Bierkade. Think paint work, laying flooring, small repairs and general fixes around the building. You work a few hours a day and stay with us in return, right in the middle of guests and the team. Handy with paint, wood and tools? Send us a message and tell us what you can do.

The workers were very nice and welcoming, they helped us with our daily tasks and gave tips how to be more efficient. The rooms were very nice expect for the air conditioning. The working hours were perfect, and the discounts were good. I especially loved the night shifts, they were chill and easy. I really enjoyed connecting with workers and the guests, and I learned a lot about the Netherlands culture and other cultures from people around the world through this experience which was very lovely. The expensive was great all together and I would recommend this to everyone.

Very laidback place to relax during your travels. The tasks are extremely manageable and there is almost no way to mistake when and what you'll be doing. Staff are all extremely friendly but the facilities can be a little unreliable.

I had a really nice time in the hostel! The location is great, and it’s easy to explore the neighbouring cities as well. The staff is super nice, the working hours are respected and the tasks are easily managable.

It was a fun place to hang out! Hours and tasks are as advertised and Dennis is lovely and very reasonable. It's a little bit of a tight space to stay long-term but the beds are comfy, it's clean and lots of cool people around :)

We stayed at the femle dorm, met a lot of people from different cultures, enjoyed the hostel events. Night shifts were very chill and cleaning shifts were very straight forward. The staff helped with questions and made suggestions how to do things better.
