It was my first time volunteering abroad and I liked it so much. I’d say it was one of my best life experiences. People in the hostel were so welcoming and nice, which made it easy to settle in and make friends. People usually stay for months and it's a small hostel, so it feels like a small family. The shift was not difficult, but sometimes it could be physically demanding. I had so much fun for a month and I never regret choosing Landing Pads! Thank you so much to Aiden, Matt, our crew and all LP people for all this hospitality ❤️

Amazing experience, not just the fact that I practiced the language. Is about making friends and different cultures. Also gave me more experience in hostels. Matt and Aiden were the best trainers.

I had a really good time being a volunteer at LP!!!! The tasks included housekeeping and some receptionwork. Matt showed me everything beforehand and even made some trainingvideo's. Since its a small hostel you're mostly in your own and they give you a lot of trust :) i really enjoyed the hostel, the people and contributing to this environment!!

My experience at the hostel in Brunswick was really positive. At first, it feels like a lot of work, but everything is actually very well organised. Matt is very used to working with volunteers, with clear instructions and task sheets, so you always know what to do and quickly get into the rhythm.
The system with room credit makes this volunteer role compatible with having a job on the side. The atmosphere is amazing, it really feels like a small family. I would definitely recommend this experience, especially when first arriving in Australia.

It's a lovely family style small hostel. The tasks and hours are really fair, and the manager Matt is a great boss, well-structured, aware, and letting everything clear for you. Also I love the neighborhood Brunswick where the hostel is on. And the vibes of the place and the people are super sweet. Highly recommended if you care about doing a good job, learning things, and giving a good and positive energy into an odd place :)

Renzo, thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to us.
You were an awesome member of the team from day one. You brought great vibes, genuine positivity, and a real willingness to learn. Your attention to detail and the pride you took in your tasks made a huge difference to the daily operations of the hostel and, most importantly, to the experience our guests had while staying with us.
We always appreciate crew who show up with good energy and a solid work ethic, and you did

I will be forever grateful to Matt, a manager with a big heart and so much humanity. My two months at LP will remain forever engraved in my memory. More than just a hostel, it's a real family, a true place of sharing. Thank you, Matt, for being such a golden person, always listening, a model of perseverance. A thousand thanks. To all future volunteers: go there with your eyes closed, a family is waiting for you. Plus, it's perfectly located, the neighborhood is amazing! I'll definitely come back as a guest from time to time to stay in touch with Matt and the LP team. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

I had a great time at the hostel! The work is reasonable, the hostel clean and the people there very welcoming. The neighbourhood (Brunswick) is also very nice, with everything you need in walking distance (cafe, groceries, thrift shops, etc.) The four weeks I stayed there went really quickly :)

Thank you so much, Kaylee, for your kind words and for the time you spent with us at Landing Pads.
It was great having you as part of the hostel community over the past four weeks. We really appreciated the energy, enthusiasm, and bright social spark you brought to the role. You helped add to the welcoming atmosphere of the hostel and made a positive impact on the guest experience.
Thanks Matt & the L-PADS crew

My stay at the hostel has been so much fun! It's a great place if you want a quieter, smaller hostel with a diverse mix of lovely people. As a live-in volunteer, I was provided with a private room with bunk beds, which I shared with one other volunteer. The shifts are flexible, as most volunteers here have another job that they need to coordinate with. Tasks were as expected and included cleaning, housekeeping, and reception work. All in all, a lovely little place in Melbourne, perfect for anyone looking to get out of the CBD, make meaningful connections, and save a little on rent!

Alonso, you’re a legend.
It was so good having you with us, and we’re glad Landing Pads felt like a second home. We know you’re going to do awesome things in life. Wishing you all the very best on your journey.
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 :)
