I've really enjoyed my time here! The crew is lovely, and a special mention to Alfie, who is a great manager and makes a real difference to the team. Like anywhere, there were a few things to improve, but everything was handled together as a team, which made a big difference. The accommodation is comfortable and offers great privacy, and the location is very convenient, with easy access to the train station. Overall, I love being here and am really happy to be part of this experience!

The hostel Trips was such a cool, chill hostel nearby Amsterdam. Once I arrived Alfie gave such helpful recommendations for things to do in the area. The volunteer work is respectable, at times including making up the bunk beds, vacuuming, mopping etc. it's a team work effort which I love. I was also able to meet a lot of amazing people on the way including the other volunteers. Thanks so much for this experience and I recommend this one to anyone who wants a place to slow down. There's also a kitchen to use which is a bonus.

Alfie and all the other staff were incredibly kind and welcoming to the volunteers. The hostel always felt comfortable and safe, which made it really easy to settle in and enjoy my stay. There were around 5–6 volunteers staying and working together, so it was also a great opportunity to meet people and make new friends. The work itself was easy and manageable for anyone, even if you don't have much experience. Even though I only stayed for a month, I made so many unforgettable memories here. I'm really grateful for the experience and would definitely recommend this place!

After being a month and a half here I felt very welcomed by everyone in the staff and the volunteers too. Very open to invite me to do anything or just talk. Even though most of the time I was working besides the volunteering, we had good moments and lots of fun. Love you Alfie 🥸 🫂 I will miss our mates 🧉 in the morning.

I had the best time here and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to volunteer in Amsterdam!! The work was easy and hours respected, facilities were good but best of all was getting to meet all the awesome other volunteers and staff, it was great for socialising and meeting friends to explore Amsterdam with :))

I absolutely loved my stay at the hostel. The team were a huge highlight for me. The amount of work expected was perfect as you get a lot of free time to explore the hostel + Amsterdam. I would totally recommend this experience🥰

It was a really great experience here in Zaandam, the Netherlands. I met many international volunteers here, and we supported and took care of each other like a family. We shared so many happy moments together. the hostel is also a really great location — it honestly surprised me. It's calm and relaxing, but still very convenient. You can find everything you need here, and it's very easy to travel to Amsterdam as well. I definitely recommend this place!

The experience at this hostel is amazing. Zaandam is a small town right next to Amsterdam, so you can easily go there every day if you’d like. The people here are kind and friendly, and they make you feel at home from the very first days.
The volunteers are wonderful, we had a great time together. It’s a chill hostel, not very loud, but still a place where anyone can feel comfortable during their stay.
I’m very grateful for the experiences I had the chance to live here. I definitely recommend it, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
