The Experience

Hostel Bad Salzig is a small hostel for up to eight guests. Right next to the Hostel there are eight alpacas you are also very welcome to help with (checking hay and water, mucking out or join guided tours). In summer and holiday season it can get quite busy, in the hostel as well as with the alpacas. That means there are always new people to meet and talk to. Nevertheless you'll have plenty of time to explore the region on your own.

Andreas is a very welcoming person who always take care of you. The trip here was great and the hostel is cosy. You don't work a lot, between 1&2 hours maximum and you have a lot of time to visit the others cities.

It was my first experience with Worldpackers and i'm totally satisfied with it. the tasks were super easy so you have plenty of time to explore the surroundings in the afternoon or in your free days. there's a lot to see (cities, little cute villages, castles etc..)and you can easily reach everything by train. you can also join the Alpaca tours whenever you want with Linda and it's a wonderful experience. She's really nice and also Andreas is a lovely host, very kind and welcoming who really cares that you have a fantastic stay. one tip: bring warm clothes cause it can get really cold🥶

My time at Bad Salzig hostel was absolutely amazing!! Andreas was an incredible host, warm, welcoming and kind, he made me feel so at home and always communicating tasks super clearly. The work is very simple and doesn't take long at all giving u the rest of the day to explore the beautiful nature around Bad Salzig and visit all the cute little towns that are along the hostel. Not to mention i got to meet so many people as they passed through the hostel so despite being the only volunteer i never felt lonely😊 i couldn't recommend this enough!! I really hope to be back one day✨

I'm glad that this happened to be my first volunteering experience because Andreas doesn't only want his guests to have the best stay, but also his volunteers. :) Communication was smooth and the hostel was really nice (but it could get rather cold in the kitchen/lounge area despite August, so take something warm). I've stayed only two weeks but it's too short - I recommend staying at least a month and also visiting some local festivals. I've made friends with some international travelers. I recommend checking in the hostel even if you don't plan on volunteering, you won't regret it. 😊

Had a really nice time here, it's a very small peaceful village with easy access to surrounding towns, the work was super easy to do and Andy and Linda were the best hosts!
