If you like calm and slow environment with lots of natural and relaxed work them come to this hostel in Sofia. It's very central close to central station only by two metro station to Han Kubrat. Two orange one female name Mika and the other male Dex-star will greet you and snuggle with you and play. Both are very social and excited. Shifts are very simple and easy to do during volunteer work

I absolutely recommend volunteering at the hostel!!! It was my first Worldpackers experience and they had very clear schedule and responsibilities. The tasks aren't too difficult and most of the shift is watching over reception. They are flexible with the schedule and give you 2 days off in a row, so I was able to visit nearby cities like Plovdiv and Thessaloniki on my time off. There are a couple other volunteers at the same time, so it's easy to make friends and feel at home! The accommodation is comfortable with a private room for volunteers, nice spacious bathroom, and equipped kitchen.

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience! The manager is incredibly kind and caring and helps whenever needed (thank you <3) They respect the work schedule. I appreciated the clear and good communication and flexibility. The hostel is quite calm and peaceful place, it feels just like visiting your grandparents. I felt like home here and would return anytime. The location a bit further from the centrum was perfect for having more chilled stay, and the surrounding neighbourhoods were interesting to explore. Overall would recommend!

I loved this place! And Alex and Bartle are just very reliable and charming people. The place it's not as far as they say, maybe 15 minutes on metro and you are again in Serdika (centre of Sofia). The hostel it's modest but extremely calm, chill and clean. I'd recommend this place 😁

Great place to volunteer, the tasks were easy to accomplish and the owners are very nice. Since the location is close to a subway station, you can go to the city center within 15 minutes. I would definitely come back in the future!
