The Experience

We ask for the same things you would already expect. Live-ins are asked to look after the hostel. Front desk duties are to check guests in with a smile and interact with them. Cleaning duties involve looking after the place in general and on some shifts getting down and cleaning up. Housekeeping shift also is there to help with beds and making sure hostel is not lacking anything. Don't worry, we don't work any one too hard!

I stayed at the hostel for 6 weeks. Decided to extend my stay because I was having a such great experience. The owner are very friendly, the schedule is super chill, very minimal issues regarding safety but absolutely a great experience. The hostel is well located and the capsule give you a sense of personal space which is excellent for long term guests. Thank you Paul for the opportunity ❤️

This was my first experience volunteering, and Im glad I chose this one. I already knew the city so I felt really at home, is a nice place to meet a lot of new people and go out, also go to the museums and monuments. I only have one thing to complain and is as a woman I didn't feel 100% safe. My females coworkers are amazing and I am so happy I met them, but some things made me feel like nobody is gonna stand up for us. A little more communication between everyone, including the host and all the coworkers would make this experience even better. But still, I had the best time of my life here.

In the hostel everyone is super nice. As soon as I got there I felt welcome. I was shown where to find everything. As a traveler I worked there as a housekeeper. The work is great, we had to work 4 hours on 4 days.

This was my first traveling experience with Worldpacker and I loved it. The work was super easy and there was a lot of time to explore DC. I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about it!
