I couldn't wish for a better experience. The hostel is beautiful and the staff makes you feel like part of a family. Mateo and Alessio are amazing hosts. All of the staff from reception, management, cleaning and security are all accommodating, friendly and respectful. The tasks are easy enough if you're a responsible person with a good attitude. Garda lake is a magical place and Peschiera is a great location to explore the lake and nearby Italian cities. Had a blast spending time with staff, co-volunteers and guest. Highly recommend it and would come back without thinking twice.

This's been a wonderful experience. I've had the opportunity to know beautiful people with great vibes and a lot of stories to share 208. The staff (Alessio, Matteo, Ale and Kate) have been great hosts and I hope new friends because they've made me feel welcome in this amazing place. The hostel is perfectly located to travel across a lot of towns near the awesome Lado del Garda and its beautiful views. You can travel to near cities such as Verona, Brescia, Padova, Venezia, etc. Also, it is a place where you can improve your English, Italian and even your Spanish as well. I totally recommend :)

You need to be prepared to work at a fast pace and handle multiple tasks in a hostel. If you don't have the experience and physical strength, you might not be able to manage, or the host might not approve you. This requires further investigation, I believe.

I had a mixed experience. As mentioned before, the lack of communication/organization create stressfull and unnecessary situations. The daily tasks and the weekly job hours were not as described. In fact, they match with the other volunteer function offered, so this is a simple problem that can be solved easily. The daily taks includes helping in the breakfast shift and social dinner (night shift) and putting bed sheets in the rooms, really smooth. Since you're sharing room with other guests, I would recommend this place for 2-3 weeks maximum, otherwise you will start getting exhausted.

Had a very nice and quick time at the hostel! The hosts did make some last minute changes to the schedule but quickly accommodated my issues with said changes and were very respectful :) As long as you communicate your needs fully to the host, ask questions instead of making assumptions, and come with a good attitude, everything will run smoothly. Thank you very much for having me!!

My experience at the hostel was quick but I loved staying there! I arrived in the low season, so most of the days I worked less than the 5 hours. The hostel is super clean! Peschiera del Garda It's a beautiful place and I really want to go back in the summer to enjoy the lake and the whole summer vibe. The staff was easy to deal with. Thanks to all, I hope to see you guys in the future! :)

This experience was everything you could dream of as a volunteer. As soon as you open the door, you feel the atmosphere and realize that this place is home. Peschiera is in a great location, you can reach everything and have enough time to explore Northern Italy. I met so many wonderful people here, the entire staff is full of charismatic and exceptional people, and I had a best time with the other volunteers. You will understand cultural things like organizations, communication and information sharing is not the priority, but relax and enjoy every moment . ❤️

The hostel has a great vibe and most everyone working there is extremely kind and friendly. Fantastic location, you can spend your free time exploring the lake or taking day trips to nearby cities. In general, it's everything you could want from a work exchange. Only 2 small downsides: 1) they don't put up volunteers separately from guests, so during your stay you'll probably be sharing a room with a weirdo or drunk for at least a bit. 2) Some disorganization, like communication of procedures was sometimes contradictory (or belated), but they don't take it personally and neither should you.
