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.

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.

My experience at the hostel was great! The volunteers' schedules are well divided and the work is not difficult. The hostel is not in the center of Sofia, but it is easy to get there by metro (there is a station nearby, a 5-minute walk away). They provide basic food items such as bread, eggs, lentils, milk, oats, tea, coffee, etc. If you want something extra, you can buy it at a market close to the hostel. My experience was very peaceful. I recommend! And I leave a special hug for Asya <3

It was a great experience. The tasks are easy and the hours and shifts are very flexible. Bartel and Alex are always available and ready to help. The hostel is very quiet, it is close to the metro station and supermarket. You will have plenty of time to discover and enjoy the city, as well as the nearby mountains. I met great guests and volunteers that became real friends. And I had the pleasure of meeting Asya (the old lady that many people talk about here). She is the sweetest and strongest person I have met in my life and I had many special moments with her that I will remember forever.

It's the place for who's needing more alone time for a while. I enjoyed my stay a lot; after a long long journey, I took a necessary rest here. If you're more of a partying person who loves a lot of socialising time & various events, I'm sure there're other places in Sofia for you. The hostel is cheap and accepts guests from any background, sometimes you'll need the patience to deal with everything. But all the tasks are doable, Bartel and Alex are very friendly, and, the most important one, there are cats!
