This was a great experience to meet new people and create great connections with people from around the world. the hostel does however have a strange atmosphere in terms of guests but the volunteers make the good vibes. Yoga is not included so don't expect it and you will not be put on any reception shifts unless you are long term (more than a couple months). The dorm for volunteers is quite small also. But with all that said I had an amazing time, Edinburgh is beautiful and I'll be going back to volunteer at the hostel in a few months ☺️

I can't expain what I brought home, it is probably the most awesome experience that I've done in my entire life! All the staff is lovely, the work hours are respected (the shift could be hard sometimes, but not too much and not evervday)! My time there was so good, I've made true friendships and would like to return in Edinburgh in the future!

Not enough words to describe it! My time in the hostel was one of the best experiences in my life, I will always be grateful for the opportunity. You feel welcomed since the beginning by the permanent staff and the volunteers. They're kind, flexible, responsible and empathetic. As long as you do your part, they do theirs and more. You have plenty of time to see Edinburgh (I fell in love) and make plans with the group, I crave to do it again! ❤️
