I couldn't ask for a better experience! The hostel is cozy, surrounded by nature in a residential area within easy acess to city center by metro/bus. The work is fair and gives you enough free time to explore budapest! I would say its important to be really motivated and keep a good communication with the team then the work will be chill! Balazs is a lovely host, a good listener and is always open to share a lot. The atmosphere is more like a big house, which makes it more humanizing and easier to create connections with guests. I can say that I left with new friends and great memories :)

I really enjoyed my experience here! The hostel is not that big and the tasks are easy to do. Hours were always respected and the schedule was given weekly. Balazs is not always at the hostel, so you have to be proactive as well. He's a really good host, knows a lot about Hungary and he was always willing to explain and teach us about his country and culture. He also took us on a day trip outside Budapest and cooked Hungarian food, which was great! I had the chance to meet people from all over and make new friends! I loved it! Definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed this experience! The schedule is given every week, and is respected, the tasks are easy. The hostel location is not in city center, (but easily reachable with transportation) however it is very close from a big train station which is very convenient for day trips! Balasz is an amazing host with a lot of knowledge to share. He's visiting the hostel daily but as volunteers you'll run the hostel autonomously most of the day. The volunteer room is by the hostel so it can be humid, so it is not the most comfortable place ever but volunteering here is very pleasant 😊

The hostel is a bit removed from the city but very accessible by public transport! The work was very relaxed and my hours were always respected, but you have to be proactive because the Balász doesn't micromanage. I had a nice time with the guests, the environment in the hostel feels like a shared house. I also had some very good langosz :)) I had to leave early because of perosnal circumstances but balasz was very understanding and all went well!
