Had the best time at the hostel <3 This was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't have been better! I stayed here last year as a guest and decided to return because i enjoyed Genova as well as the hostel so much and it did not disappoint. The work was really chill, mostly fun & easy to learn, and i had loads of free time to discover the city & the surrounding areas (Genova and Liguria is just beautiful , you won't ever get bored). Everyone, and I mean everyone, working here is super nice and helpful and made me feel welcome & at ease from the very start :)Thanks for everything!<3

My stay at the hostel was an amazing experience, coming from someone who did Volunteering/ solotraveling for the first time. The work load was exactly as we agreed, and I had a lot of free time that I could spend with the other volunteers and guests, like exploring Genova or visiting coastal towns nearby to have a nicesein. Genova is a really cool big City, and the hostel feels super homey. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to Connect to people from all over the world and who wants to experience something different!

The hostel is a great opportunity for anyone interested to volunteer at a hostel. The owners and staff are really great people and the work is not difficult. You have a lot of free time to do as you wish and You gain great knowledge about how a hostel operates at one of the most laid-back hostels on the website. Genoa is a beautiful city not only for the history and food but also for the people and surrounding nature. It's still a hidden gem in my eyes and is a must see on your travels. Don't hesitate to apply to this wonderful opportunity :)

Everything was amazing! The hosts were very helpful and friendly in every way. Since the hostel had a high circulation of guests, I had the chance to meet many new people. I was responsible for cleaning, housekeeping, and reception, but none of these tasks were difficult, and there was always someone to guide me. I even extended my stay for another week, and if I didn't have other plans, I would have stayed longer. The hostel is easy to reach, the location is great, and the city itself is beautiful. I honestly can't find any downside, I definitely recommend it! :)

I enjoyed my month in Genova in Ostellin very much, time has passed so quickly. Because it's a relatively small hostel, it feels more intimate and very cozy, which I liked. On the other hand, thanks to the connection to the other two hostels, there's always something going on, depends on what you feel like. If you don't have any previous experience, you might find the reception shift a little overwhelming at first, however, you'll get used to it quickly and you can always ask, which made it easier for me! Staff was very nice and makes you feel welcome!

Volunteering at the hostel was absolutely wonderful! Everyone is so incredibly nice and welcoming and the hostel is small, cozy and very social. Because of that, the work isn't very hard and meeting new people and making friends is easy. I recommend this experience if you like to meet new people and explore Italy. The nightshift is pretty chill once you've gotten the hang of it and you can take day- or weekend trips from Genova to see Florence, Cinque Terre, Milano or even Rome which I definitely recommend ! I had an amazing time 🫶

A great first work away experience, the owners and the team made the hostel felt like a home, the hostel with the guests gave me dorm in college feeling. The working hours are well respected. Liguria is pretty and livable.

I volunteered at Ostellin for about 5 weeks and I had a great experience! The workload is more than fair, everything is well-explained, and everyone is helpful and friendly. The hostel itself is amazing as well! It's very easy to meet people and explore Genoa and the surrounding area. I highly recommend coming here!
