Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better place for my first volunteering experience! From the moment i arrived i felt very welcomed by every volunteer and manager, everyone is so kind, attentive and helpful. Every single person here is just incredible, and making friends from all over the world felt so natural and easy. The workload is super fair and easy to manage, leaving you with plenty of time and energy to go around and explore the city. It's perfect! I would 100% come back in a heartbeat! Thanks for an unforgettable time! ❤️

There's no words to truly describe how incredible the hostel is. It quickly became my home away from home, where I made friendships that will last forever. The atmosphere and common spaces are inviting, the dorms have comfy beds and lots of personal storage space, and the kitchen has everything you could imagine. The 14 hours are extremely fair and easy, if you have a good work ethic. The entire hostel is always extremely clean from top to bottom. This was my first volunteer experience and I can't imagine it ever being topped. Your time will fly by so remember to soak it all in <3

HSH is an international environment full of stimulation, things to learn and discover, where you can also carve out some personal time to relax. Right from the start, I felt appreciated for who I am and welcomed into this wonderful family. The hostel is run impeccably, and the 14 weekly hours of work are easy, flexible, and offer a wide choice of shifts. The managers are fantastic and encourage you to do your best without putting pressure on you. I didn't feel judged at all for my imperfect English; on the contrary, everyone helped me. I made unforgettable connections with truly amazing people

This place will be always in my heart. I had such a wonderful time; I never dreamed of living on a big intercultural family like this, and having the opportunity to meet many travellers from different countries. I had lots of fun, I saw stunning places in Scotland, and I made some friendships that I will cherish for ever. The work is flexible, there are different things that you can choose to do and many new things you can learn! Gabs, Penny and Dale are really kind and supporting. I can't recommend this experience enough, thank you HSH, I would love to come back someday.

The hostel is a great place to meet people, stay and enjoy the beauties of Edinburgh. The team is great and the work easily stays in the 14 hours. It is also possible to visit the Highlands through the hostel, with tours or alone. I had a great time and even as a loner you always feel welcome in the hostel.
