Program Details

We have lots of young people in the house who live here or some couchsurfers and airbnbs. To take care of everything and doing gardening renovation and cleaning, is my day mostly. But if you're a young, funny and open person who would like to learn English or German (mostly also some other languages are spoken in the house) and meet new people from all over the world you're more than welcome to join. We would be happy if you could help us out with cleaning, gardening, cooking, shoping or whatever you feel like to do for the community. Daily tasks are from 11pm to do cleaning and laundry for 2-3 hours. And in the evening before you go to bed do the kitchen for 30minutes. In return, you will get a Bed in the Dorm or a free room if one is not booked. Best is if you would like to stay for a month or longer. We would be happy to meet you soon!

Activities & Shift

You will learn everything how to run a hostel by yourself ... i also live here and mostly im around but your job is often to take care of the house and the guest ... after beeing here for a couple of weeks or month you can run your own hostel if you want:-) ... your job is mostly make 5-15 beds ready in the morning and do some cleaning in the house... then your often free the rest of the day ... it really dipens on the saioson and if im home too... in the eveining you learn how to welcome guest from 4pm-10pm if im not here. but because we are a small hostel it variates from 5 to 20 checkins and beds you need to take care of. the good thing is we have a stric age restriction of 18-40 years for the guests so you will meet mostly likeminded solo travelers from all over the world wher you find lots of stuff in common.

Rules

Because of the neighboors and other guest who want to sleep after 10pm we need to be partybreackers and explain it to the guest who want to stay awake to go party down to the city. Thats a really hard task sometimes.
