I love volunteering at the hostel. The environment is organized, welcoming, and makes people feel like they belong quickly. The daily activities are simple and well-distributed, leaving plenty of free time to enjoy the city. Thank you again.

My experience at the hostel was incredible. The manager and staff treated me very well and always provided support when I needed it. The volunteer team was also friendly. The work had busier days and others that were much simpler, but overall it was very relaxed. They always followed what was agreed upon. The £20 weekly allowance helped a lot to save on meals, which was enough for me! The buildings and rooms were very good and super comfortable! I highly recommend this experience! Thank you to everyone at the hostel for being amazing to me!

I would not recommend this placement. Although the location is excellent and the agreed working hours were generally respected, the volunteer environment was one of the worst I have experienced. Communication was poor, work was not distributed fairly, and there was a persistent culture of favouritism and gossip that created an uncomfortable atmosphere. My stay was unexpectedly terminated due to an internal scheduling error after my extension had already been confirmed, forcing me to secure alternative accommodation at short notice. The experience left me feeling unsupported and undervalued.

I loved spending six weeks at the hostel. The tasks aren't difficult, and you have time to explore the city. The £20 a week is enough for food if you cook your own food. The room is spacious and shared with other volunteers. I want to thank Mariela and Csaba for the opportunity and for being wonderful, always willing to help. Thank you!
