Description

⚠️ €60 Refundable Commitment Deposit Because we have limited volunteer spaces, confirmed volunteers provide a €60 refundable deposit. This is not a fee for food, accommodation or volunteering. It ensures both sides take the commitment seriously, as last-minute cancellations can affect our small guesthouse. The full €60 is returned on your final day if you complete your agreed stay.

The Experience

we'd like our volunteers to focus mainly on activities and promotion of the hostel and local culture. Low season is less busy, which means that we have to care more about our guests, to create a family atmosphere and offering options to spend time at the hostel if it's a rainy day, or if there not many people around. Our usual activities are family dinners and game nights, so we ideally look for someone who enjoy to cook and entertain people,

All in all, I wouldn't want to miss this experience. A big thanks to Said, Omar's brother, who introduced me to local life and his friends 'cause Omar left for France. Unfortunately, communication was often poor, partly my fault at first. Since the family doesn't speak English, shifts, responsibilities, and working hours were unclear. There was no real introduction, and on my first day I had to create Airbnb ads without enough information. I often ended up doing dishes and had to figure things out myself. Planning my days in Fes was difficult because schedules= completely unclear + bed bugs..

Omars family is very kind and welcoming! Staying with them during Ramadan was so great for the cultural experience of Morocco & Omar was a great host by picking me up from the airport and introducing me to locals.

Although the tasks I had to do were simple and very flexible, from the start there was poor communication and no clear introduction to the hostel, its rules, or responsibilities. Omar was always indifferent; he rarely spoke to me and never made me feel welcome or comfortable. He also made constant excuses and often never replied to messages. He even threatened to say I never showed up because I did not accept his requested date changes, despite already completing five full days of agreed tasks carefully and responsibly.

We loved our time at the hostel! Ranane is an incredible person and treated us very well from our first day! the hostel is located in the heart of the medina, really a place that allows you to visit many tourist attractions in your spare time. The work routine was super easy, we helped with cleaning, preparing breakfast and maintaining the plants! I hope other volunteers enjoy this experience as much as we did!
