I had an absolutely wonderful time staying here! From the very beginning, you feel right at home thanks to the cozy atmosphere and the amazing people you get to work with. The tasks are typical hostel stuff - cleaning, helping out at reception, and interacting with guests , and I genuinely enjoyed all of it. You'll also have plenty of free time to explore all the nearby beaches, go hiking, or get to know Genoa better. It's a bit of an underrated city, but really beautiful and full of character. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd definitely recommend it! ❤️

Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best things that happened to me. It was my first experience, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I instantly felt welcomed. It felt like being part of a big family. The hosts were incredibly kind, open, and supportive and the other volunteers were very nice. It was great to meet people from different backgrounds and share our experiences together. Everything was well organised, and the shifts were respected as agreed, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I am grateful for my time at the hostel, I highly recommand it!

I had a really great time at Victoria House. The location of the hostel is very convenient, a supermarket right down the street, a train station close and a lot of the city can be reached through walking. The hostel is nice and clean and the other volunteers were incredibly nice and always willing to help out. Some of the shifts contain a lot of cleaning, which can be annoying, but still manageable. Overall the hostel is not very big, which gives it a very homey feeling, like an apartment even. I can definitely recommend this host if you want to stay in Italy!
