Joe and the staff were so friendly and helpful! I had a blast working and chatting with all of the unique characters and travelers who make up this beautiful wacky place :) There was plenty of down time to explore Asheville and the surrounding areas. I hope to return again, this hostel really felt like home.

The staff and Joe were incredible. The job itself was exactly what I signed up for. I think for me it was just tricky not having a car with me to get beyond Asheville.

I enjoyed my stay at the hostel, the staff was amazing and the hostel had a great vibe! The tasks are simple and easy to learn and I was only working 2 days a week so I had lots of time to explore Asheville. The only downsides were sleeping in the dorm with other guests, and sometimes the housekeeping work was a little stressful. I know I worked during the busiest time of year but I felt overwhelmed often with the work load. Other than that it was a great stay and worth the experiences.

WOW. I am not even sure there are enough characters to say all I would want to say about my experience in the hostel. AMAZING & ENRICHING x 1000% (All caps). I was treated as a family member. This is a familiar community and every single person is a great human being. Joe, Emily, Saraswati, Theo, Zack, Anna, I couldn't be any happier and thankful for meeting you and spending quality time with y'all. Please do me a favor once you read this review: set sometime to volunteer here. You won't regret. Asheville is a beautiful town, very hipster and with a lot of explore. You won't get bored. Love y'all ♥️
