I had a wonderful time volunteering with CAthethethe hostel. Some of the best people I've met on my travels! The work hours are respected and the hostelitself is one of the nicest I've worked at. The location is very peaceful, in a neighborhood, and close by to shops and about a 30 min walk to thethe hostel. I would definitely recommend to others!

The hostelis the best example of what a the hostelshould be. The owners have done an amazing job at organizing the hostelin a way that it doesn't feel like a business, but rather a home. the hostelis tucked away in a neighborhood for a sense of privacy but also close enough tothe the hostelfor an enjoyable walk through the town. The staff here is very accommodating and always go beyond to enhance the guest's experience. It feels cozy but there's enough space to find time alone. It's perfect for both introverts that want their space and also someone looking for things to do!

My time in the hostelwas great, so great that I extended over my 3 months. The hours are reasonable, and the work gives you the opportunity to socialize and meet wonderful people around the world. Everyone I met here became my family. Everyone helps each other out and looks out for each other, whether it be Work related or personal related. (The kitchen is a huge Plus as well!) the hostelhas been a great experience, and im so glad I came here.
