I absolutely loved my time at the hostel, the hostel is in an amazing location and feels truly homely despite the coming and going of travellers. I worked in both housekeeping and reception whilst I was there, the training and scheduling was clear and informative. I felt that my free time was respected and the hosts often helped us plan mini-breaks and trips away during our days off. Obviously the volunteers you're with makes a huge difference and I was very lucky to be with such a close-knit group of lovely people. I think the hosts encourage close bonds amongst the volunteers which is lovely.

Volunteering at the hostel was incredible, Polina is such a great host and kind person, I'll surely recommend you to come for the hostel and also because Tallinn is so beautiful. Overall, the activities during the shifts usually consists of cleaning, but they're very flexible and even offer an alternative hostel, if the vibe don't match. Sometimes we are asked to lend a hand moving things around outside the shift, but only if you want to help. Food is quite abundant, they just ask for your common sense (per usual) and some facilities are under improvement, such as the volunteers room.

I had an excellent experience. Everything went exactly as planned. Polina and Kristofer were very kind, even though my English is extremely basic. The volunteers took turns cooking dinner from Monday to Thursday. Tallinn is a beautiful city! :)

Our experience at the hostel has been great, so we extended our stay for another 2 weeks! The volunteer room was under renovation when we arrived, but we stayed in a comfortable temporary room near the main area and kitchen. Polina and Kristoffer were always open to communication, creating a friendly atmosphere. Tasks are 8 hours a day, focused on cleaning, organizing and social events. On weekdays, one volunteer prepares dinner, a great way to connect! The location is amazing, close to everything, and Tallinn is beautiful. Definitely worth it!
