The Experience

The help we need is not hard to do, but requires day-to-day attention. The main help is about keeping the place presentable and clean, getting rooms ready for the guests, watching reception and some small tasks. Usually all the tasks don't take longer than 5 hours (cleaning takes 1-2 hours the rest of the time is reception), so there's still enough time to go around. We need people who are hard workers, responsible, and friendly.

If you want a quiet, nice and comfortable place, this is the perfect place for you. This is the perfect place for you. They respect the work schedules. they give basic food, they are kind and helpful. i really liked that place. by the way, it is a very quiet place. thanks Alex, Bart and Asia for everything. On the other hand, I would have liked more rotating hours per week. Recommendation. It's a nice place and the functions are simple. If you want something with a lot of movement it is not for you. If you like something quiet it is the perfect place. Translated with DeepL

My experience in the hostel was very good, the employees are nice and the tasks are very simple, about an hour of cleaning and the rest at the reception. They respect the 5 hours of work and the 2 days off, which allows you to discover the country and even nearby countries.

The tasks are explained in detail before starting. The timings are followed and it's 5 hours a day and 5 days a week. There is two days off and lot of time to explore the city. The shift begins with cleaning and remaining time you need to be at the reception. Don't miss a chance to visit Plovdiv. The metro and supermarket are walkable distance. Bartel will be there most of the time, if there is any doubts he will clarify you or if not you can call Alex and ask for clarification. Both of them are friendly. Overall, good experience and would recommend others.

A very quiet hostel to work at! Each shift has allocated cleaning tasks, but once those are done you can hang out in the reception area. It's an older building and has its quirks, but is clean and comfortable. Very close to the metro that makes it easy to see Sofia on your time off.

Since it was my first experience, it was good. You can feel very welcome and respected. Asya one of the guest she's always there and you can have fun with her and also helping her cook, she's like the grandma of the hostel. It feels very familiar and you all the time end up having a good relationship with all the volunteers and also with Bartol the supervisor:) you have a lot of free time to do whatever you want around the city or at the hostel. I think if you need to rest a little from all your tiring trips, this is a great option to consider.
