The Experience

Hostel Bad Salzig is a small hostel for up to 8 guests. Right next to the Hostel there are four 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.

Working in the hostel with Andy and Linda was amazing! I really thank you guys for sharing with us a little bit of your time and story, and for helping with everything you could! All in all, I leave the hostel with some new friends (including the hostel 😁). Plus a lot of memories of the kilometers we got to know from the area, a 100% recommendable place for nature lovers.

Andy and Linda were amazing hosts! Everything was as expected and they made extra efforts to give us the best experience they could and to help with our adaption to the new language and country. All in all we leave the hostel with a bitter-sweet sensation because we would like to stay longer! But at the same time we take with us an incredible experience and a deeper understanding of the german people and culture. We hope the best for them and we're sure that our paths will cross again soon.

I am really grateful for everything this place gave me, starting with our hosts Andy and Linda, they are very kind and warm people who will make you feel at home. We had the opportunity to visit many places in the region and immerse ourselves in the local culture in a short time. In addition, sharing time with the hostel is something wonderful and the environment makes it even more pleasant. Regarding tasks and work, it is too simple, the hostel is small and cozy and is supplied with everything necessary to have a satisfactory stay. Definitely an unforgettable experience. Thanks a lot!

Absolutely loved my experience volunteering here! Andreas is very kind and really interesting to talk to. All the tasks are easy to learn and don't take too much time so you can explore the peaceful village or use the free transport ticket to visit nearby towns and cities. I really enjoyed joining Linda on the alpaca walks. There's some really absolutely stunning scenery and the hostel are extremely gentle and friendly. My two weeks flew by so quickly, I 100% recommend this experience to everyone.
