I would highly recommend EBH to anyone looking for a new experience and cool way to get to know Edinburgh. The hostel is in a brilliant location just off the Royal Mile. Sergio, Pedro and Merche are great managers to work with. All tasks are explained well and they create a fun environment to live in. APPLY NOW!

Basically, it's my favorite UK summer during the past five years (✪ω✪) And the dorm life almost cures my summer depression. also made some friends here. If you are looking for a city-type work-exchange experience, please do not hesitate to apply for this program! (๑ơ ₃ ơ)♥

I had the BEST time working with everyone at the hostel! The hours were not hard and the managers were really well organised with the shifts and super nice as well! The location was amazing as well, literally in the heart of Edinburgh. The entire team were so welcoming and nice I would 100% recommend doing this ❤️❤️

I stayed only one week as a volunteer and for personal reasons I couldn't stay anymore, Pedro and Sérgio are two amazing people and were super understandable with my situation. I can say that even with little time there I had beautiful and fun moments next to everyone I met. Thank you very much for everything guys 🙏🏻❤️

This was the best experience! The work isn't too difficult, and it's usually done a little before 2. They train you exactly how to do everything, so you are never left wondering. Where this hostel really stands out is the people you meet. There are many volunteers from around the world and you get to live and work with them, get to know them and make really strong connections. Sergio, Pedro, and Merche are the best managers Ive ever had. They help out whenever they can and make working fun. They also are around to hang out outside of work and are willing to help with anything
