I had a great time at the hostel! The hostel is cute and cozy, not a party hostel but definitely a social place. Volunteer tasks and responsibilities were clear and well explained when I arrived and are uncomplicated. Would definitely recommend for someone who's organised, reliable and social (and enjoys tasty Bolognese food). Thanks Caterina and Sara!

My experience in the hostel was lovely. I enjoyed a looot getting to know diverse interesting people everyday and hanging out with them. Caterina is kind and supportive and Sara is so welcoming and sweet as well. I am learning Italian and they always let me try to speak it, which I really appreciate🌞 I feel like I have learned plenty of useful things and I never got bored of the work! The shifts are great because you are free to manage them with the other volunteer as you wish, which makes things more flexible. I recommend this experience if you are a social, outgoing and curious person 🫧

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The hostel is super cozy, homey and clean and I felt immediately like at home. The hostel has excellent vibes and a great location very close to the city centre. The staff, volunteers and guests were super friendly and welcoming and the host is flexible for the working schedule. The breakfast provided is very good and complete and the tasks for this experience are not complicated. You will have a lot of time to explore Bologna on your free time! I would recommend 100% this experience :)

The tasks are exactly as described, the shifts are manageable, and the work is not difficult. The team makes all the difference. Catarine is very kind and helpful, and Sara, the receptionist, is a lovely person. There are only two volunteers, so we decide on our days off together and divide the work as we like. The hostel is small and very homey, and it's very well located, less than 10 minutes from the city center. Bologna is an incredible city with many cultural events and things to do during the volunteering period. I would recommend for sure
