The Experience

We need you as a social factor at our hostel! Helping us is easy: we need trustworthy and relieable volunteers to create a nice atmosphere and happy memories for guests! Mainly you organise daily hostel events: cook the veggie free dinners twice a week (basic cooking skills) or game nights,...! Our volunteers help us with the breakfast (dish work for 2 hours max. or easy food shopping). Simple help with evening guest arrivals is needed some days.

I absolutely loved my volunteer experience at the hostel, it truly felt like a home away from home for me! The 3 weeks flew by way too fast! The hostels environment is so cozy and all the staff are really friendly and welcoming :) Dresden is a lovely city, I personally found heaps to do to fill my time. The hostel is in a great location in the new neighbourhood. The volunteer tasks were fun and I enjoyed the freedom we had to be creative with the activities we chose to run for the guests. Make the most of it and really immerse yourself in the hostels atmosphere!

My experience at the hostel was incredible! ❤️ From the beginning, I felt very welcome. the hostel is a truly special place, with a warm, friendly and familiar atmosphere. For two months, it was my home. The friendships you make with the other volunteers are unique and very special. You share your days, work, meals and so many moments together. A big thank you to everyone who works here for always being so kind, open and willing to help. I'm leaving with amazing memories and a little piece of the hostel in my heart. 🥹❤️ I highly recommend this experience!

I honestly don't know where to begin. My time at the hostel was unforgettable and I'm so grateful I got to be part of this community. Dresden is an amazing city but what truly makes the hostel special is the people. Martin, Bill, Franka, Jula, Paulina and the team were incredibly kind, welcoming and supportive, creating a place where volunteers and guests feel at home. It was a pleasure getting to know each of you. The hostel is clean, comfortable and has such a unique social atmosphere. To my fellow volunteers, thank you for the laughs, adventures and memories. Not goodbye, just see you later ❤️

What a pleasure it was to volunteer at the hostel! Huge thanks to all the lovely receptionists and my amazing fellow volunteers, you made my time in Dresden truly unforgettable. The work is easy-going and leaves you with plenty of free time to explore the area, which is absolutely stunning. The hostel has such a welcoming, fun, and friendly atmosphere, and I honestly had the best time. I'm so happy I got to be part of the hostel family and would definitely come back! ❤️

Couldn't ask for a better first volunteering experience!! Loved every second of staying at the hostel and exploring Dresden :) The city is super lively combined with nature. As a volunteer I had quite a lot of free time and the activities were super easy and fun to host! Martin and the other staff members were the sweetest, always made sure to help out in any situation and made me feel like I truly belong in their team. I definitely plan on coming back as I learnt so much from this experience and meeting travelers from all over the world was a blessing! I recommend this a lot ❤️

Hey Rugi!

Wir freuen uns so sehr, dass es dir bei uns so gut gefallen hat, vor Allem, weil es dein erstes Volunteering war! Deine offene, neugierige Art die Welt zu erkunden hat uns an unsere erste Hostelzeit erinnert ;) Wir freuen uns also sehr, dass du hier viel Neues erkunden konntest und sehr viele neue Freunde machen konntest.

Wir freuen uns auch sehr, wenn du uns mal wieder besuchen möchtest und verbleiben mit besten Grüßen aus Dresden- Juliane, Lollis Homestay
