1. Be respectful
Discrimination of any kind is not okay. You do not have to understand everyone in order to treat them with dignity. Please be conscious of each other’s boundaries and personal space.
2. Clean up after yourself
Do not create unnecessary work for somebody else. Put things back where you found them, do your dishes (not just place in sink, but see them through the process all the way back to where they were clean when you found them).
If you use a space, leave it better than you found it. This applies everywhere: bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, gardens, workspaces and common areas.
Please do not leave your belongings lying around.
3. Keep your room clean
Your room is your responsibility.
Please keep it reasonably clean and orderly throughout your stay, empty rubbish regularly and leave the room clean when you depart.
4. Do your own laundry
You are welcome to use the hotel laundry area. We do not have a laundry service.
Please use the laundry facilities considerately and do not leave washing/drying sitting in machines when other people need them.
5. Respect the kitchens and food storage
The main kitchen refrigerators and freezers are reserved for hotel and restaurant operations including providing meals to you.
Separate refrigerators and freezers are provided for volunteers and staff.
Please use those instead, label your food where appropriate, keep the space clean and respect food belonging to other people, and please don’t hang out in the kitchen unless this is your “on-duty” time.
If you finish something, add it to the shopping list.
6. Everyone contributes to household life
Living here involves more than completing your assigned volunteer work.
There are shared household responsibilities, including things such as cooking, dishes, cleaning shared spa
7. The basic volunteer exchange
Our standard volunteer agreement is:
4 hours of volunteer work per day
5 days per week
in exchange for 7 days of room and board.
This means two days each week are normally free from scheduled volunteer work.
Individual schedules may vary according to hotel operations, events, weather and the type of work being undertaken. Any significant change should be discussed rather than simply assumed.
8. Be reliable
If you agree to be somewhere at a particular time, please be there. We understand that things happen. What matters is communication.
Please complete tasks assigned.
10. Guests come first
Sanssouci Palatina is both our home and a working hotel.
Our guests should experience the property as calm, welcoming, respectful and professionally run.
Please remember that guests have paid to be here. Avoid unnecessary noise, arguments, clutter or personal behaviour that interferes with their experience.
Volunteer accommodation and social life should remain separate from guest spaces unless you are working there or have been invited.
11. Respect privacy and confidentiality
Guests, retreat participants, staff and fellow volunteers are entitled to privacy.
Do not discuss private information you learn about guests or other members of the community outside the appropriate context.
Do not photograph, film or post images of another person without their permission or of the hotel without permission.
Try not to use or even carry phones or computers in public spaces–as much as possible we like to keep the gadgets in our rooms or working spaces.
12. Consent and boundaries matter
We are a sex-positive, queer-positive and kink-aware environment. This is not an invitation, but a statement that we are welcoming, nothing more.
A culture of openness only works when boundaries are taken seriously.
13. Respect the property
Sanssouci Palatina is an old and unusual place and many things need to be treated with care.
Use tools, equipment, furniture and facilities for their intended purpose.
Let us know if something gets broken or needs repair.
Do not remove hotel property from the site without permission.
14. Safety comes before speed
Follow instructions regarding tools, chemicals, machinery, fire safety and food hygiene.
Do not undertake work that you believe is dangerous or that you have not been trained to do.
If you notice something unsafe, speak up.
15. Alcoho
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 :)
