The Experience

Our hostel is a wooden lodge with a great atmosphere and stunning mountains, located in the woods but very close to the bus, shop, restaurant, and trails. We are looking for help with all tasks around hostel and our families like reception, cleaning, socializing with guests, babysitting my kids. We will ask you to work 1-2 days (17h) so that you have lots of time for yourself.

This was the best volunteer experience I’ve had to date and I think anything after this will be hard to top! If you’re wondering if you should volunteer here, you should! I met great people and had a lovely stay. Hours are reasonable and respected. Marzena was lovely and even if she wasn’t around every day she was easy to reach. There is a reason this hostel has volunteers who keep returning.

Marzena is the most amazing Host ever to exist! No one treats their volunteers with so much support, connection, respect, equality, love and kindness as she does. Volunteering at her hostel is simply the biggest pleasure , you just want to help and do anything you can because you love being there so much. It feels like just living at home completing daily tasks. I haven't volunteered at many hostels but I know nothing will compare to this. Even volunteers from 10 years ago still return to this amazing hostel because the magical homely atmosphere never changes. Can't wait to return home soon!

I can't stop talking about the hostel to everyone! This was my fourth time here, if that says anything :-) I'm so grateful for Marzena and the other wonderful volunteers I've met at each stay. I've been calling it “summer camp” and I think it's very accurate. Being a part of the team this time was incredibly rewarding. The hostel is beautiful and cozy, the mountains are waiting to be explored, and having a cozy free place to stay in exchange for the workload is 1000% worth everything. I <3 u GBL ⭐️

The hostel is just outside of town, which makes it a really peaceful place to stay. It’s a big, cozy cabin-style house with a very welcoming feel, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The national park is right across the street, so there are plenty of opportunities to hike, explore, or just enjoy being in nature.
The work-to-free-time ratio is very much appreciated, and Marzena, the owner, is genuinely kind and accommodating. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed place to stay and disconnect for a while.

I had an incredible time at GBL! It truly felt like a family and I have made so many friends from all across the world. Marzena is the best host you could ask for. Friendly, enthusiastic and always willing to help. The work is easy and you have plenty of time to explore the beauty of the tatras mountains. Mia, Mao and Majka truly make the experience unique. If you love animals and nature this is the place for you. The evening entertainment is great for meeting people and trying some traditonal polish dishes e.g. Pierogi.
