The Experience

We are a small family run hostel with 23 beds near the Baltic Sea, just north of Kiel. We do not live at the hostel ourselves so it is nice to have someone around who is there to let us know if everything is ok. You are more or less a "normal" guest who helps us a little with cleaning, gardening or welcoming other guests. Work times are flexible and there is plenty of time to explore the area by bike. The nearest beach is 2.5km away.

The month I spent at the hostel was truly pleasant, Silke is someone who is extremely open to conversation and always willing to help and teach you the various tasks. The setting where the hostel is located offers an incredible view, even with the autumn winds. There are several bicycles in excellent condition available for volunteers to use. Best regards.

This was my first Worldpackers experience & I couldn't be more grateful! Silke is so kind & understanding. She even helped me relearn how to ride a bike! She explains the tasks clearly & the work is easy & fair. I volunteered near the end of the season, so it wasn't as busy but I still learned a lot & found this experience to be worthwhile. The hostel is a bit far from things, but there are bikes available & buses a 20 minute walk away. There's no WiFi at the hostel so it's a great place to unplug and slow down. I hope to return again someday :)

Silke has been a very kind host. The hostel is in a very peaceful place and you can reach the sea very easily. It's a lovely place to disconnect from your routines and take it slowly.

I enjoyed my two weeks at Peantus Hostel. Silke is a kind host and is very flexible with tasks depending on your expertise and the work hours are short. The private room is comfortable and offers privacy. I was able to explore the surrounding towns and attractions using the hostel bicycles. The hostel is close to the beach and the supermarket is a 10-15 minute bike ride away. I would recommend this host to anyone else.

I enjoyed my two weeks at the hostel and with Silka, I would definitely volunteer here again. The work is very manageable and fun to do it together. It was great meeting all the different travelers that stayed at the hostel. Silka was kind to give me my own room downstairs and the hostel had everything I needed. It is located a 10 minute or so bike ride from the beach which was nice with warm water. And the location allowed me to explore many nearby towns including Kiel and in my day off, Flensburg. I definitely recommend this.
